Samsung's 2025 OLED TVs are getting NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility
In the announcement, Kevin Lee, Executive VP of Samsung's Visual Display Customer Experience Team, said it'll bring "elite-level performance for even the most competitive players." Samsung started shipping its flagship S95F TVs in April alongside its other new OLED models, the S90F and S85F. Each comes in a handful of sizes, going up to 83 inches. The OLED lineup also offers AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, Auto Low Latency Mode and AI Auto Game Mode, which is designed to tweak the picture and sound to best fit whatever game you're playing.
The announcement comes as Computex 2025 gets underway in Taiwan. The expo runs from May 20-23, and will focus heavily on AI this year.

I can't think of anything worse than letting AI run my life from my phone — here's why
You can't get away from AI anymore. That ship has firmly sailed, and it doesn't matter whether you're trying to take photos, search the web or something entirely different, odds are AI is going to make itself known at some point. Some people have embraced this change and go out of their way to take advantage of AI tools. I am not one of those people. Call me a luddite if you want, but I generally don't feel comfortable with the idea of passing too much off to a machine if I can help it. Especially if it means letting that machine think, or make decisions for me. And that means I'm not going anywhere near services like Samsung's Now Brief, which seems to be built to eventually try and run my life for me. I've spoken at length about my general dissatisfaction with AI features that have been pushed front and center on our phones. I don't mean the background processes, like computational photography or display upscaling, but the features that specifically have you interacting with the AI. I don't actually want to hand off tasks and responsibilities to those AIs. Not only do I prefer to do that work myself, and make an effort to find and do what I need, I don't actually trust an AI to get things right. Google's AI Overviews is a great example of that in action. While Google supposedly did work to stop the feature from spewing out blatant misinformation after it first launched, the feature still screws up sometimes. I've seen examples of incorrect information both in person, and shared around the internet. I don't know whether this is the same AI model that powers Google Gemini or not, but it's enough to make me wary of taking what AI tells me for granted. At least if I go searching for the information and pick up a dud source, that's on me. Because I should know better than to just pick a single source and run with it regardless of what it says. Which is essentially how AI seems to do things — at least in my eyes. And if I'm not trusting AI to find out something mundane, like when the supermarket closes for the day, then why on Earth would I trust it to take control of my life? I don't need someone to plan my routine for me I am now 34 years old, so I've had plenty of time to get to grips with the whole "adult life" thing. To the point where my general routine hasn't really changed since I got a dog 4 years back. Because I had to get up and be responsible, instead of sleeping all day like I used to. Admittedly I don't have a particularly strenuous daily routine. There's no commute, so I don't need to worry about potential traffic or how late my train will inevitably end up being. Add the fact that I currently don't have kids, there aren't that many logistical hurdles to have to worry about. I say this because it means I don't actually need a whole lot of help managing myself day-to-day. Not that I'd want AI help to get me through my day otherwise. Now Brief in its current state isn't really in a position for me to hand over my life and do everything for you, but with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and One UI 8, it seems as though Samsung is doubling down on this idea — offering "more customized insights" in the new software. I can see what Samsung is trying to do, but I'll have to decline. I'll ignore the fact that Now Brief is reliant on being hooked into Samsung's smart architecture, which is something I have not done. It doesn't really matter whether it would be Samsung, Google, Apple or someone else entirely. This is not for me. I get they're only suggestions, but I like to at least pretend that I have some modicum of control over my own life. Letting Now Brief, or some similar software feature, muscle its way into that process just chips away at what little agency I already have. Plus, I don't actually want to be generating all kinds of data for the AI algorithms to sort over. As silly as it seems, considering how much information I store on my Android phone already, I don't feel comfortable handing over that intimate level of access to a faceless machine. AI may be attempting to integrate itself in every facet of our technological lives, but that doesn't mean we have to let it if we don't want that. While there are plenty of people out there who have taken advantage of AI tools to help them out in their daily lives, I don't see much benefit in doing so. Not when I can do all that myself. Maybe things will change as I get older, and as AI technology improves. But for now, I am quite happy to continue as I always have done and get by on my own. It's certainly not a perfect system, and the fact I arrived for a vet appointment this week only to find out I was 24 hours early is a perfect example of that. Maybe a little more AI support would have stopped that happening, or maybe it wouldn't. At least it's a mistake I made myself, mixing up how dates are supposed to work, and I can live with that.

How to Limit Galaxy AI to On-Device Processing—or Turn It Off Altogether
You don't have to accept the AI that Samsung offers you. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphones are displayed during a media preview in New York, US, on Friday, May 9, 2025. Photograph:All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Artificial intelligence is now more pervasive than ever in the apps and gadgets we use day to day, and that of course extends to smartphones: Google Gemini on Pixels and other Android handsets, Apple Intelligence (currently still rolling out) on iPhones, and Galaxy AI on Samsung smartphones. These tools can help you refine text, generate images, and summarize documents, among other tricks, and you don't have to go far through your apps to find an AI feature ready and willing to help you with something. With Samsung Galaxy AI, you have the option to disable the AI features you don't want to use, or switch off artificial intelligence altogether. If you're on one of the latest Galaxy S25 phones (with the fastest, AI-capable chips), you also get the option to keep most of the AI enabled but process it on your device, without transferring anything to the cloud. How Samsung Galaxy AI Works Galaxy AI is spread right through the latest One UI 6 and One UI 7 software updates from Samsung. More recent additions include the Now Brief screen that aims to bring you the information you need the most at the right time, and the Audio Eraser tool for quickly removing background noise from videos. There are generative AI editing tools for your photos, and generative AI writing options for your emails and messages. If you're not happy with the way a block of text reads or the way a picture is looking, you can deploy some Galaxy AI magic and make changes with a few well-chosen prompts. Galaxy AI is only ever a few taps away. Photograph: David Nield This all requires some pretty deep access to your apps and to your data, which is one reason to carefully consider whether or not you want to use these tools. For example, Galaxy AI has to be able to read your email in order to rewrite it, and some of the data you're asking the AI to work with may be traveling to and from Samsung's servers for processing. Samsung says that all Galaxy AI data is securely encrypted and protected from prying eyes, though of course no security protection can ever be guaranteed to be fully 100 percent effective all of the time. You can find the full Samsung privacy policy online. How to Turn Galaxy AI Features On or Off Perhaps you're not sure about allowing Galaxy AI access to everything you're writing and editing, or maybe you just find the AI features a little too pushy. On Galaxy smartphones, you've got the option to turn off some or all of these features. To see the AI features that are currently active, open up Settings, then choose Galaxy AI. You get a full list of what the AI can do on Samsung phones, and it might be more comprehensive than you realized: everything from transcribing voice recordings to giving you personalized insights into your fitness data. You can access all the Galaxy AI features from the same menu. Photograph: David Nield Tap on any of these Galaxy AI features to make changes. The exact options you see will depend on the feature, and some of these features come with sub-features, but they all come with toggle switches for turning the tools on or off. You also get descriptions for how your data is managed. Select Photo assist, for example, and there are three tools listed: Generative edit (using AI to remove and move objects in images), Sketch to image (for turning basic outlines into photos), and Portrait studio (for turning photos of people into cartoons and sketches). Use the toggle switch at the top to turn all these features on or off. How to Enable On-Device Processing Open Galaxy AI from Settings on a Samsung Galaxy S25 phone, and you'll see a Process data only on device toggle switch at the bottom of the AI feature list. These phones have Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets inside them, with powerful enough AI processing capabilities to take care of some jobs without transferring data to and from the cloud. That's some jobs, not all jobs; you'll see that some of the features are no longer available when you flick the toggle switch for on-device processing. Samsung doesn't provide a definitive list of which features can work without the cloud, but automatic summaries and generative AI editing are among those mentioned as needing internet access. On-device processing is more private, but limits some features. Photograph: David Nield There are also a few Process data only on device toggle switches available inside the Galaxy AI feature menus—there's one for Writing assist, for example. You can still use the feature without accessing the cloud, but the number of languages available to you for translations is reduced, because you're relying on local files. Overall, there's a good amount of control here, letting you strike your preferred balance between Galaxy AI features, software bloat, and data privacy. No doubt there are more Galaxy AI features to come further down the line, so be sure to check this list regularly to see what you have access to on your device.
