Another Samsung A12. This app has given me about 💲600 of dollars and counting (totally sold at wrong time but needed money, sold all my bitcoin too). 🤑 Very cost effective. 🤔 #Samsung #thinkaboutit #cryptocurrency #finance ❓

One UI 8 might give the Now Brief a voice
------------------------------------------------
One of the biggest new features in Samsung's One UI 7 based on Android 15 is the Now Bar with the Now Brief, and in the upcoming One UI 8 based on Android 16 this may be getting a very interesting upgrade.
According to a teardown of the One UI 8 firmware, you'll be able to listen to your Now Brief too, not just read it. This will be called Listen Brief, naturally.
Now Brief offers a summary of your morning, afternoon, and evening, including weather, calendar evnts, traffic updates, and news. And with Listen Brief, you'll get all that in audio form.
You'll be able to choose between Samsung's and Google's text-to-speech engines, as well as pause, play again, and stop the briefing audio whenever you want.
Of course, Now Brief is still missing a ton of possibly useful stuff like sports scores, email integration, package tracking, and many more, and we do hope all of those get added at some later point.

Samsung might kill the Galaxy S26+ in favor of the S26 Edge
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge a few hours ago, and we already have a rumor about its successor, as apparently there will definitely be one. According to sources in Korea, the Galaxy S26 Edge will launch alongside the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
In case you spotted what's missing, you're not wrong. The rumor says Samsung is currently considering giving up on the Galaxy S26+, as the Plus model has consistently been the worst seller in its flagship line for a few years now.
So, if this gets done, then the Galaxy S26 Edge will basically be the Galaxy S26+'s replacement in the company's roster. If this sounds familiar, it's because Apple is also rumored to replace its very own iPhone Plus model with the iPhone 17 Air, which, just like the Galaxy Edge, banks on thinness as the unique selling point.
All of that said, keep in mind that this is a very early rumor, as Samsung has only just started the development of the S26 family. So, things might still change, and from the wording of the rumor, the company hasn't fully decided on what to do just yet, but is seriously considering axing the S26+ in favor of the S26 Edge. Hopefully the second-generation Edge will use Si/C battery tech to be able to pack in more mAh.
Just to give you an idea of how badly the S25+ is doing, Samsung's current aim is to sell 37.7 million units of the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra combined this year. Of that, the Ultra makes up 17.4 million units, the 'vanilla' S25 13.6 million units, and the S25+ only 6.7 million units.
