Not long after releasing it for a handful of flagship phones from 2023, Samsung has just announced a substantial update to its Galaxy AI platform. More specifically, a lot more people will soon be able to use Galaxy AI as Samsung is updating it to work with more languages and dialects.

At some point this spring, Galaxy AI will support Arabic, Indonesian, and Russian languages. Samsung’s also adding Australian English, Cantonese, and Canadian French dialects.

But that’s not at all! Samsung also confirms that Galaxy AI will support Romanian, Turkish, Dutch, Swedish, traditional Chinese, and European Portuguese “later this year.” There’s no confirmed ETA for when in the year these additional languages will be added, but they’re all confirmed for sometime in 2024.

As a reminder, these new languages/dialects join the 13 languages that Galaxy AI already works with.  This may not matter to you if your language is already supported, but for folks who want to use Galaxy AI, but can’t due to language barriers, this is phenomenal news.

These new languages are yet another indication of Samsung’s desire to put Galaxy AI in front of as many people as possible. After debuting on the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, Samsung recently brought its AI features to several older devices — including the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Tab S9 family. With this new language expansion, that mission is clearer than ever.

Samsung says you’ll be able to download the new Galaxy AI languages and dialects as part of a new language pack, which you can get for free via the Settings app. No official date is confirmed for the new languages/dialects coming in the spring, though we imagine they’ll be here sooner rather than later.

Don’t breathe easy just yet. Apple and Microsoft aren’t done with price hikes.
Xbox and Apple device price hikes could be a warning for the rest of the tech industry.

Earlier today, Microsoft raised the price of its Xbox consoles by up to $150 in the U.S. Just a few hours before that, Apple announced a similar move for its Mac and iPad portfolio, while also raising the sticker price of its Vision Pro headset and several other products except the iPhone. But it seems these two giants are not done with price hikes yet.

Neither company has explicitly said that more price hikes are coming, but their statements suggest otherwise. Take, for example, this statement that Apple shared with The Washington Post earlier today.

Samsung’s wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 may fix the two foldable flaws people still complain about
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide may be the complete foldable Samsung had envisioned
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Samsung’s next premium book-style foldable may do more than refine its design and get the annual spec bump. A new leak suggests the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could directly address two of the most annoying foldable complaints, namely the weight and display crease.

According to sources who have handled samples of Samsung’s wider Fold 8 model, the phone feels surprisingly light. he actual weight is still unconfirmed, but previous leaks have pointed to around 201g, which would make it lighter than the 215g Galaxy Z Fold 7 and even the 214g Galaxy S26 Ultra. This might not sound like a big deal till you've actually used a foldable phone. I recently reviewed the Motorola Razr Fold, and despite its slim design, the heft is what kept me away from switching to it for a while.

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Oppo has started rolling out the Reno 16 Pro globally, giving Europe its newest style-heavy, camera-focused Android phone with a few impressive numbers on the spec sheet.

The European model is listed in Germany and Austria in a single 12GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration. It costs €1,099, though Oppo is offering a launch discount that brings it down to €899 until July 31. Pre-orders are open now, with release set for July 3. Considering how the Reno lineup is considered the brand's upper mid-range model, the price is nothing to scoff at. But Oppo isn't raising the prices for nothing. It is pushing the Reno line closer to premium territory, with cameras, design, and creator-friendly extras doing most of the selling.
