The Galaxy Watch 4 to get a surprise major software update: the veteran isn't done yet
You thought the Galaxy Watch 4 was over and out? No, just because this cool digital timepiece was released back in 2021 it doesn't mean it's out of the Galaxy Watch 4 was a milestone in Samsung's smartwatch history: it marked the shift for Samsung's wearable lineup, moving away from its long-running Tizen operating system in favor of Google's Wear OS 3. This change brought access to the Google Play Store and, thus, significantly expanded the range of apps available compared to the limited selection on Tizen. Of course, Samsung being Samsung, added its own One UI Watch interface on top, keeping the familiar look and feel for existing users. When the first One UI 8 Watch beta update was rolled out, it was limited to the fifth and sixth generation Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, but now, rumors have it that Sammy will also make Galaxy Watch 4 owners happy. This will most likely be the final major software update for the Galaxy Watch 4, but that should ruin the day of users who still rock the 2021 gadget, as there are multiple improvements with the One UI 8 Watch . The One UI 8 Watch update should introduce a refreshed interface with redesigned Tiles, richer watch faces, smoother animations, and an updated app launcher that offers a vertical grid or list view with frequently used apps at the top. Image by PhoneArena The update adds the Now Bar, which shows active tasks like workouts, timers, and more, along with new charging animations and an updated battery icon. Notifications get a smarter design, stacking alerts from the same app and preventing duplicate notifications when the phone is in use. That could very well be my personal favorite. The update also expands gesture controls with more double-pinch and handshake options, making navigation more intuitive. The Galaxy Watch 4 has a dual-core 1.18GHz chipset, 1.15 GB of RAM, and approximately 7 GB of storage. Of course, it's not the most powerful smartwatch out there, but it's capable and reliable. It comes with a 361 mAh battery, which Samsung claims can deliver up to 40 hours on a single charge. Again – nothing to write home about, but certainly not to be retired for now!

7 most underrated apps to download to your 4K smart TV
Smart TVs these days come loaded with apps. Right out of the box, they've got some of the best streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video pre-loaded, but once you tap into their respective app stores, there are even more options to choose from. With over 10,000 apps to choose from on the Google TV Store, and plenty more on Tizen, WebOS and Roku, there's apps for everything from gaming to productivity. Not all of them are totally worth the download, though. So where should you start? I've listed all my personal favorite TV apps below. Of course, some might not be available across each TV interface, but for the most part there are alternatives you can find in each app store. Given the constant barrage of security breaches companies face these days, consistent mindfulness and safety when using the internet is crucial. That's why downloading a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is at the top of my list when it comes to TV-based apps. You might not think it, but even TVs can be the subject of hacks and data breaches. Last year, LG TVs were at risk from hackers spying on users and thousands of Roku accounts hacked. That being said, VPNs are imperative for staying safe when using any device connected to the internet. There are several options among the best VPNs to go with, but the most obvious choice would probably be NordVPN. It's the most widely available option and it even has an extensive support page that explains how to download across most TV interfaces. Although you should simply connect your PC to your TV for the best gaming experience, sometimes it's simply not possible to fit both your gaming PC and your big-screen TV in the same room. That's where Steam Link comes into play, allowing you to stream your PC games to your living room TV. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's by no means the most fluid way to game on a TV and you probably won't net the highest frames while doing this (unless you're hardwired in, and even then there might still be some frame drops). But it's an extra way to get yourself gaming on a TV if you have limited space but still love PC gaming. You might think that sitting at your desk in front of your PC screen or smartphone is the best method for jumping into daily meetings, but nothing beats the large screen in front of your couch. That's why having Zoom on your TV is a blessing, allowing to see a wider view of those in the call and sit comfortably in front of the screen. If Zoom isn't the de facto video conferencing app for your company, feel free to substitute in Google Meet, which is downloadable on the Google Play Store, or FaceTime, which is likewise available on Apple TV hardware. All three are great picks. Casting content is not always easy. Sure, sometimes your TV will support AirPlay or Chromecast right out of the box, but not always. That's where AirScreen comes into play. It works just like other casting software, allowing you to cast from a wide range of devices directly to the TV. In fact, AirScreen is equipped with literally every protocol, including Google Cast, AirPlay, DLNA, and Miracast, which means you don't have to fret if your TV or device doesn't support it. While subscriptions are available for AirScreen, it's totally free and it's available on a wide set of TV interfaces. It's the best way to ensure your TV has the full bandwidth to support every casting protocol in the market. There are a number of reasons why you might need to send some files to your TV in a pinch, and doing it the old fashion way with a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. Instead, you can just go with Send Files to TV (yes, that's what the app is called). It's the fastest and easiest way to get files on your TV. Some reasons why you might need this app include being able to transfer files from one TV to another, or uploading some videos to your display. Maybe you want to see home videos from the comfort of your couch, or listen to downloaded music without using something like Spotify. One primary reason I can see this being a lifesaver is for TV software updates. Just in the past few weeks, Samsung's Tizen OS on 2024 models got a major update. While you could simply wait for the update to take using Wi-Fi, you could also speed up the process by downloading the update and sending the new firmware to the TV. A problem I run into a lot on some of the newer TVs is poor Wi-Fi signal. I tend to gravitate toward checking my signal using a phone or PC, but to get the best results and understand how your TV specifically is working within your network, you'll want to download Ookla Speedtest for the clearest picture. Pro tip: I always recommend hardwiring your TVs to the router, but if you can't, use Ookla to figure out where in the room you get the best wireless reception. Not all TV remotes are equally useful. That's why I recommend getting yourself the Button Mapper app. This app lets you customize how each button on your remote functions. So, say your remote has a button that opens directly to Netflix, but you never use Netflix. You can now re-map that button to Disney Plus or Prime Video — whatever suits your fancy. You can even go a step further and change things like the home button or other assorted functions on the remote, which is pretty handy if it doesn't have a backlight like the Roku Voice Remote Pro. Now, you'll just have to memorize them all.

Tech Editor's Pick: This Rare 43% Off Samsung Frame TV Deal Won't Last
If you're someone who values a blend of tech performance and style in your home, hurry and grab one of these stellar Samsung Frame TV deals before Amazon's four-day Prime Day event ends tonight. As the tech editor for Forbes Vetted, I've personally tested dozens of TVs, including the Frame TV. I've experienced firsthand both its vibrant, 4K-resolution movie-viewing experience and the customizable, matte-coated art display it turns into when idle. If you want to turn your TV into a masterpiece, I recommend snagging the 75-inch The Frame QLED 4K TV that's marked down nearly 45% in the Samsung store, on Amazon and other retailers right now (the second lowest price I've seen on this panel—but that might not be the case after today). I found several steep markdowns on Samsung's popular Frame TVs still live for Prime Day—but the sale ... More ends today. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTOS: RETAILER This and the rest of the newer Samsung Frame TV models make it difficult to distinguish an actual piece of art from a TV, something I found very impressive in person. The key is in its matte coating, which looks great in any space while keeping the picture glare-free. The TV also ships with Samsung Tizen, which I find intuitive to use: It gives you access to your favorite apps, the Samsung Gaming Hub and Samsung Plus TV (Samsung's free streaming channels). Samsung Plus TV is also where you can access the Samsung Art Store, which features a collection of artworks, many in collaboration with such world-renowned museums as New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Paris's Musée d'Orsay. You can also add a customizable bezel—either in Rose Gold, White or Brown—for an extra cost. MOST POPULAR Samsung Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV (75-Inch) Why It's A Good Deal: You'll save almost $1,300 with this Prime Day deal, on Samsung's site and Amazon and other retailers. This is the second lowest price I've seen on this panel—just note that this deal includes only the TV itself without bezel customizations. While the 75-inch model has the largest price cut, there are similar savings on the other models, which you can find below on Amazon or directly on Samsung's site, like 40% off the 65-inch Frame TV . You can also shop more of my favorite Prime Day TV deals if The Frame isn't quite right for your needs, or browse through more of the best Samsung Frame TV deals I found below. Samsung Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV (65-Inch) Those looking for other sizes of this top-notch lifestyle TV should check out the Samsung Frame TV deals on four other sizes, including this 65-inch. Like the featured deal on the 75-inch Frame TV, these sizes also offer a vivid, high-brightness picture via their 4K resolution, as well as an idle Art Mode that uses an anti-reflective matte coating to turn your TV into a piece of art (the reason our tech contributors crowned it the best Samsung TV for wall mounting). Why It's A Good Deal: This sale price is $2 below the previous lowest recorded price for the 65-inch Frame TV—making this a new all-time low. Amazon Samsung The Frame Pro Neo QLED 4K TV (65-Inch, 2025) If you're looking for an even newer, more decked-out model of the Samsung Frame TV, try the 2025 version of the Pro, which clinched a spot on my list of the best 65-inch TVs of 2025. You get the same access to world-renowned art through Samsung's Art Store—and on a TV that can handle color fluctuations masterfully. Case in point: It handled both somber, dark scenes from Arcane and vibrant action sequences in Mad Max: Fury Road equally well. Plus, its wide viewing angle means you can place it in the roomiest space without compromising on image quality. Why It's A Good Deal: This is an all-time low price for the Samsung 65-Inch The Frame Pro ($15 less than its previous lowest recorded sale price). Is Samsung Frame TV Worth Buying? The Samsung Frame TV is a high-end television that displays artwork (or photos) when turned off, so it serves a dual purpose. It makes an ideal purchase when you want to place a TV in a high-traffic area where you'd rather not have an ugly blank screen staring back at you. What Is The Point Of The Samsung Frame TV? The main purpose of the Samsung Frame TV is to watch entertainment, but it also serves as an art display (if you choose) when you turn it off. In fact, The Frame was the first TV from a major manufacturer that was designed to display artwork when it wasn't being used to watch TV shows or movies (though there are a handful of competitors making similar TVs now). Is Frame TV QLED Or OLED? The Frame TV is an QLED television, which is a higher quality type of LED display. Some prefer OLED displays that might offer even richer images and better contrast. Samsung makes a number of OLED TVs, too.
