As the video reveals, buyers of the new 5G handset will also receive the S Pen, a pair of AKG earphones, a travel adapter, a data cable, a set of spare eartips, an ejection pin for the SIM/Micro SD tray, and a Quick Start Guide.

It’s a whopper

A phone so big that there may be no pants in the world with a pocket large enough to hold it, the 6.9-inch Galaxy Note 20 Ultra features a camera module with a 108-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom. The selfie camera, housed in a hole-punch notch at the top center of the display, will capture your toothy grin at 10 megapixels, while video enthusiasts can use the device to shoot movies at up to 8K resolution.

The Note 20 Ultra, which comes in bronze, black, and white, tips the scales at 208 grams (7.3 ounces), and includes a 4,500mAh battery offering fast charging to 50% capacity after 30 minutes.

Starting at $1,299 for 128GB of storage (expandable to 1 terabyte) and 12GB of RAM, the Note 20 Ultra will be available from August 21, with pre-orders beginning on August 6.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may take a page from the Z Fold 6

Smartphone manufacturers rarely change how rear cameras look from generation to generation. When they do, it makes news, like when the regular Apple iPhone 16 launched with a new vertical pill-shaped camera system last month. Now, Samsung is about to make a camera design change, this time on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship device will feature a camera design slightly similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While this isn’t an earth-shattering change, it’s interesting nonetheless.

Here’s a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S25’s new displays

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has been on our radar for quite a while now, especially with a potential new design, AI functionality, and a whole slew of other awesome features. Its display has been a special topic of conversation with leaker Ice Universe's info drops, and now we have even more solid news: The tipster posted pictures of the actual displays online.

Ice Universe's picture shows the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra laid out side-by-side. The image confirms the theorized thinner bezels and the Ultra's rounded corners. It's not easy to gauge size based on a picture, but it's evident that the S25 Ultra is larger than the other two models. That said, Ice Universe previously suggested the display would be roughly 6.9 inches along the diagonal. This most recent shot lends credence to that.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 sets a new record for budget Android phones

We've known that Samsung's next lineup of budget phones was on the way, especially after all of the information that leaked last week. Now, we have confirmation on several elements of the phone, but the most important of them all is the incredible (and unheard of) six years of security patches the Galaxy A16 5G will receive from launch. That means it will be fully up to date until October 31, 2030.

We reported on this possibility a couple of weeks ago, but now it's confirmed — and that's a big deal. Many budget phones only receive two years of security patches post-launch. The Galaxy A16 5G's six years of support puts it only one year behind Samsung's flagship models in the Galaxy S24 series. For a phone as cheap as the Galaxy A16, that's incredible.
