That puts the folded phone in the same neighborhood as the iPhone 13 mini, even if the hardware is doing something very…

A Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leak is making a very specific pitch: people photos that look more like the person in front of you, not a warmer, yellow-leaning version. The claim comes from a post by tipster Ice Universe, and it suggests Samsung is tweaking both its color tuning and the camera’s optics. The same leak says Samsung has cut lens flare with an updated lens and revised coating. That’s not the kind of change you brag about in a keynote, but it can decide whether a portrait looks crisp or slightly hazy when a bright window, streetlight, or neon…

The year 2025 was pretty wholesome, if you ask my tech-obsessed heart. It produced some terrific divides, such as the liquid-cooled Red Magic 11 Pro that also redefined what it means to get the best hardware possible for your money. The iPhone 17 emerged as the sleeper hit, while the iPhone 17 Pro saw Apple back to its swashbuckling ways.
