The Galaxy S24 Ultra is this year’s Samsung flagship and a device that Digital Trends rated highly in its review, calling it “the best Ultra ever, and a must-buy.” This is high praise, but ZTE’s sub-brand Nubia has Samsung in its sights with the Nubia Z60 Ultra “Leading Version” and the Z60S Pro, a slightly pared-down, but even more affordable model.

A new Android phone just gave the Galaxy S24 Ultra some tough competition

When Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 Ultra, we’re sure we weren’t alone in being disappointed that there was essentially no change in the battery size or charging speeds. If you were hoping Samsung would correct this for the battery of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, be prepared for disappointment.

SAMSUNG has revealed that a raft of new camera tricks, including a Astro Portrait feature, are being rolled out to older devices soon.

The manufacturer N-One specializes in more affordable devices and is launching a new tablet on the market - the Npad Ultra. The model is shipped with Android 14 and, therefore, uses the latest operating system. The supply of updates is often a rather difficult issue for manufacturers of cheaper devices, so customers should not expect major OS updates. N-One does not use a MediaTek SoC, but a Snapdragon 685. The built-in RAM measures 8 GB, although this can be significantly expanded as usual with a type of swap file. The internal memory has a capacity of 128 GB: this is not too much, but memory expansion is possible.

This update addresses a major vulnerability (CVE-2024-32896) that affects all Android phones and tablets, not just Pixels. While some new camera improvements could be bundled for the Galaxy S24, Samsung might prioritize integrating new Galaxy AI features or focus solely on security updates.

This allows one to browse, play/pause and skip tracks (playing on a smartphone that’s within Bluetooth range) from one’s wrist, rather than having to pull out the phone.
