Samsung had a rather rough start with the release of its heavily anticipated One UI 7 update. After a string of delays, the company finally started seeding the update for a handful of its flagship phones, but abruptly paused it, citing vague issues. Thankfully, the rollout is back on track. 

Updates tracker, Tarun Vats, shared on X that the stable One UI 7 update is now appearing for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 users in multiple regions across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the US.

Digital Trends has spotted over a dozen posts on Reddit and the official Samsung Community where users have shared news of receiving the update on their Galaxy S24 series phones, and the Galaxy Z Fold 6, as well. 

This news comes merely a day after the firmware’s release commenced in Korea for older-generation phones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Tab S9 series. 

So far, it seems the Android 15-update is being rolled out in India, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Philippines, among other regions. As per a Galaxy S24 Ultra user in the US, the update has landed on their carrier-locked phone linked to the Boost Mobile network.

A couple of other users on the T-Mobile network also reported seeing the One UI 7 update on their Galaxy S24 series phones. It seems the One UI 7 update is also reaching unlocked Galaxy S24 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 units in the US market.

What’s new in One UI 7? 

One UI 7 introduces new design elements, more functional widgets, the Now Bar for keeping users updated with real-time updates, and a bunch of AI features such as on-screen content awareness. Other new features include Writing Assist, audio eraser, and natural language search in the Settings app.

The update also introduces a bunch of camera features that were first seen on the Galaxy S25 series smartphones. Samsung has made some changes to the camera app’s layout that make it easier to access tool such as aspect ratio, megapixel format, exposure, and filter controls.

Talking about filters, the One UI 7 update adds a two-tier adjustment system and also lets users create their own custom filters. This is done by an AI, which picks up the unique color chemistry from a photo saved on your device and creates a filter based on its color profile. 

Users are also getting the ability to edit RAW images directly on their phone, and capture LOG videos, as well. A new Shooting Assistance Function will make it easier to access pro-grade tools such as zebra pattern and false color adjustments.

Amazon quietly upgrades its Fire HD 10 tablet with a whopping 1GB of RAM
Amazon really said, "Here's 1GB. You're welcome."
Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

Amazon has quietly refreshed one of its most popular tablets, but not in the way many expected. Instead of launching a brand-new Fire tablet after its longest product drought in years, the company has introduced a slightly upgraded version of the existing Fire HD 10 with an extra gigabyte of RAM.

The update is modest on paper, yet it arrives at an interesting time. Amazon hasn't introduced a new Fire tablet since the Fire HD 8 refresh in 2024, while products like the Fire 7 and Fire Max 11 have yet to receive successors. Rather than expanding its lineup, Amazon appears to be extending the life of an aging device with a minor hardware tweak.

If you’ve ever used WhatsApp on your iPad, you already know its limitations. You can’t set it up without a primary device, can’t share live location, and can't use the broadcast lists feature. 

That’s finally changing. WhatsApp’s latest update gives iPad users a long-due promotion. Rather than serving as an extension of your iPhone, it will soon become your main device.

Apple may bring vapor chamber cooling to the iPad Pro in 2027

Apple’s next iPad Pro may not look dramatically different, but it could get one upgrade that makes a lot of sense for an ultra-thin tablet. Better cooling.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models planned for spring 2027. The tablets are expected to keep the current 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes, while focusing mostly on internal improvements, including faster chips. Apple has also reportedly tested a vapor chamber cooling system for the iPad Pro, which could help improve sustained performance and reduce overheating.
