A new One UI 8.5 leak hints at Samsung testing “Super Fast Charging 3.0” with support for 60W speeds, suggesting a major upgrade for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The rundown of trade-in phones you’ll save with hasn’t changed much. You’ll get $1,000 off instantly with a Fold 6 or S25 Ultra trade-in, $800 off for a S24 Ultra or Fold 5, $600 for a Fold 4 or S23 Ultra, and so on. You’ll want to head to Samsung’s site ( here) to check your trade value.

The first-party advantage is real. The most obvious example of why first-party products are worth considering is the AirPods lineup, led by the latest AirPods Pro 3. These headphones offer way more features when connected to an Apple device than when connected to other devices.

Head over to Amazon to get the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for just $534.99, down from its usual price of $709.99. That’s a discount of $175 and 25% off. And given that this is still a relatively new phone, that’s more than worth springing for this Black Friday shopping season.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra sports a massive 14.6″ AMOLED display at 120Hz, dual rear camera, 256GB base storage, 12GB RAM, WiFi 7, and a huge 11,600mAh battery. It also supports an S Pen and will see years and years of updates. Again, it’s kind of the ultimate Android tablet.

Samsung is expected to begin rolling out the One UI 8.5 public beta in early December, starting with Galaxy S25 users in select regions.

With virtually no real competition in the foldable phone space, the Galaxy Z Flip7 remains the most stylish smartphone design you can buy right now. The clamshell foldable turns a full-sized phone into something that fits comfortably in small pockets without sacrificing screen size or performance.

Samsung's new affordable Galaxy Tab A11+ tablet includes a version squarely aimed at children, bundled with extras to keep them entertained.
