Rose gold may have been around a lot longer than the Apple Watch, but no one’s denying that it was the iPhone-maker that began the spread of the pink-hued color upon a multitude of consumer gadgets. Now, Apple’s Korean counterpart is following suit with a “pink gold” Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

That’s right — it’s not rose gold, though it looks an awfully lot like it. Samsung’s color variant for its flagship S7 and S7 Edge has been dubbed pink gold to distinguish itself from the rose gold trend. The color for the S7 pair isn’t new — the company announced the pink gold option back in April, except it was only available in select markets such as South Korea.

“Pink gold was chosen as it, like the other colors available for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, is a natural color that provides a sense of comfort,” the company wrote in a blog post back in April. “These hues glitter and shimmer as if illuminated from inside their glass surfaces. In particular, the refined pink gold color scheme is intended to soothe and incorporate a touch of gentleness, radiance and sophistication to the smartphones’ design.”

The color option is now available in the United States, if you fancy the need for a touch of gentleness and sophistication, but you’ll have to head over to Best Buy. The retailer has exclusive access to the color, and you’ll get a $150 Best Buy gift card if you purchase and activate a pink gold S7 or S7 Edge.

It’s unclear if the new Galaxy Note 7 will get the same pink gold treatment, but you’re now able to choose from black, gold, white, silver, and pink gold for the S7 and S7 Edge. Samsung also offered an Olympic Games edition of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge exclusively through Best Buy, but the device was only available in limited quantities and cost an expensive $850.

The S7 costs $670, while its Edge variant is priced at $770.

We've been talking about Samsung Galaxy S25 rumors for months and months. Now, we finally have some official news from Samsung about its latest smartphones.

Today, Samsung confirmed that its next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, January 22, in San Jose, California. Samsung doesn't mention the Galaxy S25 series by name, but it does confirm that it'll announce "the new Galaxy S series" at this month's Unpacked.

Samsung is going all-in on Snapdragon chips for the Galaxy S25

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series rumor mill has been turbulent, and that's putting it lightly. An unbelievable amount of information has emerged about this phone, but one debate that was never settled is whether it would use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip or the Exynos 2400 chip. Now we have an answer thanks to leaked benchmarks: it's all Snapdragon, all the way.

The most recent Galaxy S25 Geekbench results show a score of 2,986 single-core and 9,355 multi-core, a base frequency of 3.53GHz, and two separate processing clusters. The first has six cores clocked at 3.53GHz, and the second has two cores clocked at 4.47GHz, according to Tarun Vats on X.

Samsung’s $60 Fitbit killer is now available in the U.S.

The new year has barely begun, and Samsung is already hitting the ground running with two new mobile gadgets launching in the U.S. The Galaxy Fit 3 and the Galaxy A16 5G both launched in other markets last October, but Samsung has just confirmed their availability in the U.S.

We'll start with the Galaxy Fit 3, which I find the most interesting. A successor to 2022's Galaxy Fit 2, the Galaxy Fit 3 is a small and affordable fitness tracker akin to the Fitbit Charge 6 or Fitbit Inspire 3. It has a 1.6-inch AMOLED display (45% larger than the Fit 2) and promises up to 13 days of battery life. The case is made of aluminum with a matte finish and is 5ATM/IP68 water-resistant.
