Best Buy is clearing its Samsung Galaxy A35 5G inventory with a magnificent $100 discount
Released more than a year ago in the US, the Galaxy A35 is obviously no longer the best budget 5G phone around. But at the right price, the 6.6-inch mid-ranger should still be considered by cash-strapped Samsung fans in particular and Android enthusiasts in general, especially with the newer and not-that-much-better Galaxy A36 5G costing $399.99 and being pretty hard to come by at a significant discount. Also priced at $399.99 back in the day, the Galaxy A35 5G currently goes for only $299.99 at Best Buy. Now, a $100 markdown may not seem earth-shattering for a 15-month-old or so handset with mid-end specifications, but as far as I can tell, bargain hunters in love with Samsung gear have never been able to save more money sans jumping through hoops. $100 off (25%) Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 6GB RAM, 6.6-Inch Super AMOLED Display with 2340 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Exynos 1380 Processor, 50 + 8 + 5MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera, 13MP Front-Facing Shooter, 5,000mAh Battery with 25W Charging Capabilities, Awesome Lilac Color Buy at BestBuy Naturally, this Black Friday-grade deal comes with no strings attached and no special requirements as well, and following Samsung's official Galaxy A35 5G discontinuation in the US, it's unlikely to last long. Best Buy makes that abundantly clear by labeling the promotion as a "clearance" affair, and the $100 discount is exclusively available on a love-it-or-hate-it "Awesome Lilac" colorway. The "Awesome Navy" model, mind you, is only marked down by 40 bucks to $359.99, which is not really a great price. $299.99, on the other hand, is pretty amazing when you consider the gorgeous Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate technology, not-too-shabby 50 + 8 + 5MP triple rear-facing camera setup, 5,000mAh battery, IP67 water and dust resistance, and above all, Samsung's stellar software support. Yes, the 5G-enabled Galaxy A35 runs Android 15 with proprietary One UI 7 goodies sprinkled on top while being guaranteed to receive at least another three major OS updates in the next three years. Now that's something no other $300 Android phones available stateside can offer, and yes, that obviously includes the likes of Motorola's Moto G Power (2025) and Edge (2024), which you may consider to be superior to the Galaxy A35 5G from a hardware perspective. Our Samsung Galaxy A35 5G review, in case you're wondering, is likely to confirm some of your fears regarding chipset performance and overall system speed... while at the same time painting this bad boy a surprisingly positive picture as far as camera performance, battery life, screen quality, and sound quality are concerned. In short, the strong points clearly outweigh the weaknesses here, especially at an unbeatable price of $299.99. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

A security update fixed battery life? Some Galaxy S24 and Fold 5 users think so
Usually, new updates to older devices either bring no changes to battery life or even make it worse. Many people complained after receiving One UI 7 based on Android 15 that the update destroyed the battery life on their devices. Well, it seems Samsung may have decided to fix this issue. Now, some Galaxy S24 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 users have shared online that they are noticing lately that the battery life on their phones has improved after the June 2025 security update. A Galaxy Z Fold 5 user claims that the battery life on their phone improved dramatically – by 400%, which is pretty amazing, if true. Meanwhile, Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 + users are saying their battery life has also improved, albeit with not such a huge difference. The June 2025 security update was released earlier this month, and it started arriving to Galaxy S24 users two weeks ago for the international model and one week ago for the US models. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 received the update last week (both international and US models). The Galaxy S24. | Image Credit – PhoneArena Generally speaking, security updates usually are focused on fixing vulnerabilities and other bugs related to exploits. However, sometimes these updates can improve the overall smoothness of a phone or even its power efficiency. But it's important to note that other Galaxy S24 and Z Fold 5 users are not reporting seeing improvements in battery life. One UI 7 is one big update and one that's been long-awaited. Its official release was delayed a few times and even started then stopped, then started again in some markets. Generally, many people were unsettled by the speed at which the significant update was delivered. When it finally arrived, some had to experience the battery life of their phone it's great that Samsung is addressing the issue. Meanwhile, something else is worth noting in this case as well. After a major One UI update, it's normal for Galaxy phones to experience increased battery drain for a few days. This happens as the system re-indexes files, updates apps, and re-optimizes background processes. Android also needs time to relearn usage patterns to manage power more efficiently. Performance and battery life typically stabilize within 2–5 days. So, it could have been the security update, but it also could have been just Android settling itself out.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) vs Galaxy Watch Ultra: Main differences to expect
Intro After ruffling the feathers of the Android smartwatch community with its excellent but not terribly original Galaxy Watch Ultra last year, Samsung is set to release an updated version of its Apple Watch Ultra rival this July. The new Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is shaping to be a minor refresh of its predecessor, without any major changes to the design language, the overall feature set, or the functionalities on deck. This is pretty much the norm these days when it comes to intergenerational improvements. Granted, the original Galaxy Watch Ultra doesn't feel outdated in any way shape or form, so no major changes were necessary in the first place, anyway. Still, we can't have a new device release without any changes whatsoever. $420 at BestBuy Read more: Galaxy Watch Ultra review Mostly unchanged design language Titanium Silver, Titanium Gray, Titanium Blue vs Titanium Silver, Titanium. Gray, Titanium White colors New bands/band colors Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring possible IP68, 10ATM, MIL-STD-801H on both BioActive sensor on both Wear OS 5 with One UI Watch 8 on both devices New AIAI features, health recommendations Same price as before ($650) Table of Contents: Design and Sizes Bands Software Battery Models Specs Summary As already mentioned, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is widely expected to score no visual changes in comparison with its predecessor. This means we should get the same large and imposing smartwatch. It will come with a rugged and pretty distinct titanium squircle case but a circular sapphire display with a slightly raised bezel on top. Unlike the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, the bezel won't double as a hardware way to navigate the interface. Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) render (Image Credit -- Evan Blass) The device will once again come with three buttons on the right-hand side. The standard top and bottom navigation buttons are divided by a large customizable button in the middle, which can enable different features and functionalities. On the left-hand side of the case, we will likely get the large dual slits for the loudspeakers. At the bottom, Samsung's all-encompassing BioActive sensor will reign supreme. In terms of size, the Galaxy Watch Ultra will once again be available in a single 47mm size with a flat 1.5-inch sapphire screen, like its predecessor. In terms of thickness, expect this one to gravitate around 12 mm in thickness, so it will definitely stick out of your your shirt cuffs. In terms of ruggedness, we expect the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) to be a carbon-copy of the older Ultra and support IP68 water- and dust-resistance, enhanced waterproofing up to 100 meters (10ATM), and also feature MIL-STD-801H shockproofing. Rumors have it we might see some upgrades to the overall durability here, with one of the possible solutions being an upgrade to IP69K, which would protect it against strong water jets from any direction. With the Galaxy Watch 6 series, Samsung introduced a fresh new band attachment mechanism which relies on a single button to attach/detach the band from the watch case. It's a superb mechanism that works great and is somewhat similar to Apple's way of band attachment in terms of ease of use. We have no issues with either one. That said, a recent patent application suggests Samsung might be exploring ways to further improve its single-button band attachment mechanism and make it even easier to switch bands on the fly. This novelty might arrive alongside a future Galaxy Watch generation, but not with this year's Samsung watches. We expect a new color version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), called Titanium Blue, which would come with a rugged new fluoroelastomer band in deep blue color, which might look quite appealing. Software & Features Samsung and Google's partnership in terms of software is thankfully set to continue, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) will arrive with Wear OS 5 running beneath a refreshed One UI Watch 8 wrapper. We expect Google's Material 3 Expressive design language to make it to Samsung's rugged smartwatch eventually and boost the personalization options here. Meanwhile, One UI Watch 8 is reportedly scoring a number of new Galaxy AI improvements, as well as AI-powered health and fitness recommendations that will suggest adequate measures based on your unique fitness and health data. The general interface and UX are unlikely to change too much. A major new health feature coming our way is likely a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring addition to Samsung's BioActive sensor, which will use light to measure your blood sugar levels. A potential game changer for diabetics if Samsung pulls this one. Other than that, the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) and the Galaxy Watch Ultra will share most of their health and wellness features, like ECG, blood pressure monitoring, VO2, heartrate, and so on. We are also reportedly getting improvements to sleep tracking and data interpretation. Once again, the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) will surely only work with Android devices, but some essential health features might remain exclusive to Galaxy phones. Blood-pressure monitoring and ECG currently only work with Galaxy phones, and we imagine glucose monitoring might follow. iOS isn't supported. The Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is likely coming with a battery in the ballpark of 590 mAh, which was the same battery that made it inside the first Galaxy Watch. As the chipset inside will remain the same (Samsung's 3nm Exynos W1000 chip), we don't expect any major improvements to efficiency either. This means the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) will likely boast the same battery life as its predecessor, likely two to three days based on the usage. Charging-wise, it's extremely unlikely we'd get anything apart from the standard 10W wireless charging. It takes nearly two hours to fully charge the older Galaxy Watch Ultra, so the same will probably ring true for the successor as well. Both smartwatches are available in a single 47mm size, and you can only have either one with cellular connectivity, which kind of limits the choices you have. The older Galaxy Watch Ultra goes for $649.99, and we don't expect a price hike for its successor. From the looks of it, Samsung is set to improve its flagship smartwatch this year, but isn't too keen on making any sudden moves and changing the overall experience too much. That's alright, as we didn't expect any such major shifts, either. The new Ultra is clearly aimed at consumers that are poised to upgrade to an Android-powered large and premium smartwatch this year and counting on Apple Watch Ultra fatigue to score new adopters. It doesn't feel as if Galaxy Watch Ultra should feel compelled to upgrade this year on the basis that their smartwatches could be 95% identical to the new model, so no major value will be gained. Of course, if any of the rumored features sound like major improvements to you, then the world's your oyster, and there's nothing stopping you from upgrading.
