This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 coverage

We’ve almost certainly gotten our first look at the official Samsung Galaxy S25 renders, even if they weren’t shared by an official source. Reliable tipster Evan Blass sent these renders out through his mailing list, and appear as official as they get. Not only do the phones look good, but they also show a lot of detail for the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, including some expected colors: light blue, light green, dark blue, and silver.

The renders don’t really provide any new information, but they do corroborate what we’ve seen, and give us a closer look at the phones. All of the Galaxy S25 models have narrow bezels and a punch-hole camera on the front. The phone appears to be flat on both the front and back, as well as the sides.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra takes things a step further with notably rounded corners and slightly different colors, although this wasn’t unexpected. We’ve known the S25 Ultra would have titanium colors for a while now: blue, silver, black, and gray.

You might notice the S25 Slim isn’t included in these renders. That’s a pretty firm confirmation that the rumored phone won’t be announced at Galaxy Unpacked, but possibly later in the year, and perhaps around the same time as the next Galaxy FE would normally be released. The renders come at the perfect time, just as marketing materials for the S25 series give us another look at the device and illustrate some of the new AI features to expect on the Galaxy S25.

You can expect to see the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra at Unpacked on January 22, and while the S25 Slim might get teased at the event, we don’t expect it to hit shelves until May.

Apple’s iPhone Handoff is expanding, and Verizon is charging twice as much as T-Mobile
Carrier support is growing for Apple’s shared eSIM feature, and monthly pricing now ranges from free to $10.

Apple introduced iPhone Handoff at WWDC 2026 as part of iOS 27, giving people who regularly carry two iPhones a way to keep the same phone number on both devices. Instead of moving an eSIM back and forth manually, Handoff lets one iPhone act as the main device while a second gets a companion eSIM tied to the same number.

The feature arrived with iOS 27, but Apple cannot enable it on its own. Carriers have to support the shared eSIM setup on their networks, which means availability and pricing depend on who provides your cellular service.

The company has dismissed claims that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is overheating during internal testing for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, calling the reports inaccurate. The denial comes just a day after reports suggested Samsung could ditch Qualcomm's chip in favour of its own Exynos 2700.

Apple is tightening its App Store rules to crack down on AI nudify apps that generate sexually explicit images of real people without their consent. The updated guidelines require developers to proactively prevent and remove nonconsensual intimate imagery, including content generated using AI tools. The move comes months after San Francisco officials demanded that Apple and Google remove such apps. Now, Apple is making its expectations clearer, including what happens when developers try to sneak harmful features past its review process.

Apple wants developers to do more than simply ban nudify features
