Here's when Samsung's XR headset is rumored to launch
Samsung's first XR headset, currently codenamed Project Moohan, has already been showcased by the company a bunch of times, but it's still not fully official. A new report out of Korea claims the company has now set a date for its unveiling: September 29.
Then, it will become available for purchase on October 13, in Korea first. After the domestic market launch, it will gradually start to make its way to other places.
This will be the first headset to use Android XR, which, as the name implies, is a version of Android made specifically for such headsets. Android XR itself was initially announced last year and is jointly developed by Google and Samsung, following their co-development success with the last few versions of Wear OS.
You won't be surprised to find out that Android XR will include Google's Gemini AI. The Samsung headset is using Qualcomm's XR+ Gen 2 chipset, which is apparently manufactured by Samsung using a 4nm process.
Before its full unveiling, the Samsung XR headset will be showcased once again at the company's Unpacked event next month, where it will announce the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7.

New notification feature helps you manage Gmail for Android inbox
A new option is being added to notifications being received on Android phones for the Gmail app. By adding "Mark as read" to the options at the bottom of the notification (next to Delete and Reply), Android users can mark that they have read this email on the Gmail for Android app without having to open the app. The bottom line is that by adding the "Mark as read" option to the Gmail for Android notifications you can mark some emails as "read" without having them distract you. According to X subscriber Kurt Gomez, on one of his Google accounts, he noticed the "Mark as read" option for Gmail notifications. This update is undergoing an A/B server-side test and is not widely available even on Android phones running Gmail for Android, version 2025.06.15. For example, I have this version of Gmail on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.1 but I am not seeing the new notification response on my phone. We should point out that the Gmail notification with the "Mark as read" option appears on notifications for the iOS Gmail app. If you don't have an iPhone and haven't received the new feature for Gmail notifications on your Android device, there is an app in the Play Store you can use called AutoNotification. This app will allow you to replace Gmail notificationis with your own and you can add a "Mark as read" response. Before the update arrives, you can choose between Archive and Default to be your second action. | Image credit-PhoneArena Let's point out that the Android Gmail notification by default includes the option to Reply and a choice between Archive or Delete. To choose between those two, open the Gmail app on your Android phone and tap the three line Hamburger icon menu. Scroll down to Settings > General Settings > Default email notification action and choose between Archive and Delete . The one you choose will be the second notification option. At left, the current Gmail notifications for Android. On the right is the updated version with the Mark as read feature." | Image credit-Android Authority This might not seem like a big deal to you, but being able to go through your Gmail inbox and mark some stories as read without having to open the app is a huge time saver. Once I see the update available on my Pixel 6 Pro we will update this story. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer

Ai+ will launch its smartphones on July 8
How easily people put privacy and Google in the same sentence? I wish I could meet one such person myself and ask him what he's smoking, must be something grade A. Anonymous, 9 hours ago From the name to the marketing about privacy, it's a scam. How dare you! The party would never lie to you! Blasphemy! ...or whatever the equivalence is in agnosticism. Soon: chatGpt launched it's first Virtual smartphone with chatGPT at the helm. After that, it contracted Gemini 3D printers to push out 100.000 units, that sold in a matter of seconds. Deep seek seeing the success of chat gpt took notes and launched himself 2 virtual smartphones, one with deep seek at the helm but with chatGPT like interface and the other with deep seek at the helm and 1000000 mAh virtual battery. Deep Seek is now struggling to push it's devices through the Gemini 3d printer. Gemini is reculent about Deep Seeks second device battery specifications, and said that the battery is a paper-specs only, while accusing deep seek of UI theft, puting manufacturing on hold. Deep seek needs now to seek other 3d printers with lesser strict rules or change it's ways. 3 months later: deep seek is now also on a 3d printer, happily puhing out it's paper specs devices. o be continued... From the name to the marketing about privacy, it's a scam. Ngl that price tag is pretty insane, in a good way [deleted post] It's got nothing to do with India. It's how sick the smartphone market, in general, has become. In India, nobody is focusing on building an Indian smartphone brand seriously, maybe Lava to some extent, and everyone is happy with what's available. I don't even want to argue which other countries contribute more to e-waste as that argument with someone like you is pointless. If you want to educate yourself about Indian innovation that is efficient, go read about our space programs. In my opinion, that's one area where we are doing a phenomenal job and they have also been quite underrated. Smartphones are not eco-friendly anywhere in the world. So I would request you to refrain from making such comments, unless it makes you feel good about yourself when you talk trash about something you have no knowledge of. These phones look great. They really spend a lot of money to disguise a generic oem phone into a good looking one. The Unisoc chipsets are worth the price. The only problem is the false marketing of this. AI? Focus on privacy? This is a glorified generic phone. [deleted post] Developed countries are the problem especially considering the plastic usageand production. In top 5 plastic producing companies there are two companies from US Dow inc and ExxonMobil. Moreover there are two waste landfills in the biggest landfills in the world list that are in US namely Apex Regional Landfill and Puento Hills California. That is after selling its a major plastic waste to Malaysia and other countries. Give me any fact refuting this. Anonymous, 20 hours ago That would be crazy good value What about this generic AI nonsense that offers absolutely nothing is good value? It's anything but that. Anonymous, 20 hours ago You know all those cautionary sci-fi tales about how mankin... more Not really, its just a primitive marketing. They are brainstorming how to sell a lot of crappy phones and decide to spin-off a small part of the company under one of the executives and assign it the name of the current marketing hit in the world. If not AI they would call it whatever is the currently popular branding. And they will use worst possible hardware at dirt cheap prices. Also at no risk for the fpunding brand. And if it succeds somehow, they will up the price fo square the circle. No worries, Unisoc will not overtake a single kitchen, let alone the world. Its just shameful that websites like gsmarwna will start spamming "exclusive infos" and "newest images" and force those upon us as if we are interested in this e-waste. And entire cycle will repeat itself again once AI goes out of fashion. DashF, 23 hours ago Why would you not expect low end specs in a phoen that cost... more HMD Crest at $70 would be much better value, and it's also cheaper than that, under different Indian retailers. I think the funniest thing about this brand is how they are incapable of Not Using AI footage in their ads. Do they not have like. Models of these phones? "Twitter, wikipedia.. Ai+?!" 🤣 .. who's gives names this things Yolobs, 23 hours ago And some peoples think indian cant create something new ! Is this even example to give as something new ? The whole article feels like they are targeting the company and telling it useless and not so valuable. Using words like "so-called" and so on. Let them enter into market first. People are becoming judge now-a-day without doing anything. aadam, 23 hours ago lol designed in india they said slaps infinix design the... more So, when chinese companies were making this type of design what were you doing, why didn't you spoke anything, never mind the cheap mindset of people rabbit OS 2.0 hahahaa That would be crazy good value Hamiyoo, 23 hours ago does AI really have to be in EVERYTHING You know all those cautionary sci-fi tales about how mankind becomes totally dependent on AI and it all goes horribly wrong? We're going down that same path.

Samsung listened to you: Galaxy Z Fold 7 is ditching the 'ugly' cameras
Remember the thick ring camera design on the Galaxy S25 Ultra? It became the talk of the digital town when users discovered that the decorative rings could just pop off. The company listened to those complaints, and changed how the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will look before it entered production. According to a renowned Samsung tipster, the Fold 7 originally featured the same ring design on its main cameras. Samsung 'urgently' reversed course and chose a design similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 after users complained about how cheap the rings felt. Recent leaked Fold 7 renders also reflect this change in design, where the main camera array features a much sleeker look without the rings. If you didn't like how the rings looked, then that's two upgrades to the cameras for you. A massive Fold 7 leak has just confirmed that the phone will come with a 200 MP main camera, instead of its predecessor's 50 MP sensor. The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge also followed this redesign, and doesn't feature the rings on its cameras. Furthermore, the backlash was intense enough that Samsung is expected to remove the rings from the Galaxy S26 series next year as well. Leaked Fold 7 render shows no rings on the rear cameras. | Image credit — Evan Blass You love to see it, don't you? A company actually listening to negative feedback and implementing changes accordingly. Now, if only Samsung would listen to us about its batteries: the expected 4,400 mAh capacity on the Fold 7 , alongside 25W of wired charging, does not inspire confidence. Of course, if the Fold 7 isn't your cup of tea, you've got other excellent options like the Oppo Find N5 and the Honor Magic V5. The N5 was the slimmest foldable in the world until the V5 dethroned it. However, if you can't live without One UI, then the Fold 7 is still your best bet. If you're concerned about long-term software support, Honor is providing the same seven years of updates as Samsung. Or, of course, you could wait a year and see if Apple finally delivers its foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. Though, if leaked foldable iPhone screen specs are anything to go by, then the Fold 7 may already have it beat. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
