Samsung's Galaxy S26 Edge To Replace ‘Plus' Variant Next Year: What Reports Say
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge showed a new way for the brand but does that come at the cost of the Plus variant from next year? Samsung will have three models in the Galaxy S26 series next year which should ideally be announced around January or February 2026. And it seems the company is getting rid of one variant to keep the other one in the lineup. Reports this week suggest the Galaxy S26 Plus variant could be replaced with the S26 Edge model, making them the three variants available in the market for buyers. The launch of the S25 Edge version this year had already hinted at big changes from Samsung and the new report hardly comes as a surprise. The S25 Edge has not exactly lived up to the hype, especially with its premium price tag, the really small battery of under 4,000mAh and other shavings being done to make it sleek. But it won't be the worst idea to prolong the Edge moniker for a few more years and do that by giving up on the Plus variant from its lineup. The Elec has a good record of Samsung-related stories and multiple leaks have suggested the Edge will be the one going ahead with the future models.

Google's AI Overviews Face Major Battle With EU Regulators After New Complaints
Last Updated: Google AI features like Overviews have taken over the search results with content offered by publishers and media companies. Google's AI moves have got everyone's attention, including its rivals. But this is another case of AI being run through with the help of data that is widely available across the internet. The new AI Overviews are effectively showing you content from across the platforms and summarising for an easy read. But the content is being sourced through publishers who have raised concerns and shared their issues with the European Union regulators this month. The company is investing big in AI, which is why you have features like Overviews, AI mode and more. Google AI mode was introduced at the I/O 2025 earlier this year and now people in US and India can try out the new Search avatar. But it seems the reach and knowledge about the new feature is limited, so Google is taking matters into its own hands and making it easily available through the main Google webpage. Google is using AI mode as its centre of attraction with its recent Doodle. New products need a lot of visibility and what better way than to use the best real estate on the web, which has to be the webpage where people go to search for answers and other materials.

Facebook And Instagram Premium Users Are Getting Banned And Nobody Knows Why
Last Updated: Meta offers its premium services with apps like Instagram but users paying the platform are not getting their monies worth. Meta offers its premium version of Facebook and Instagram via the Verified service which has become an issue for the users who have paid for the plans. Usually people who pay for apps expect premium service and customer support that solves all their problems. But these users have seen anything but that with the Meta Verified support system. Meta has banned accounts in the recent weeks, and the affected list reportedly includes the Verified users, who are seeking the reason for such a tough action from the platform. Meta launched Verified for business in India last year. The expanded Meta Verified business offering on Facebook and Instagram includes the verified badge along with enhanced account support, impersonation protection, and additional features to support discovery and connection. The subscription plans in India are available for purchase only via iOS or Android at this time for businesses on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. Businesses have an option to either purchase Meta Verified for Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp or do a bundled purchase for Facebook and Instagram.

Samsung's Tri-Fold Device Likely To Be Teased Soon And Won't Be Cheap
Last Updated: Samsung is bringing its new Fold and Flip models at the New York event next week but the tri-fold device is getting a lot of interest. Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event in July is just a few days away where we will see the new Fold and Flip models from the company. However, there is a lot of hype around the first tri-fold device from Samsung that could be given a quick teaser at the same event in New York. Yes, the company could use the platform to build the hype and intrigue for its new product, something it had done for the Galaxy S25 Edge at the S25 launch event in January and then demoed it at the MWC 2025 in February. Huawei showed us what a tri-fold device can offer, especially when you unfold them. You get a smartphone as well as a 10-inch screen like a tablet packing into one product. The company even offers a keyboard and other accessories to really make use of its versatility. Samsung is expected to have a similar plan for its rumoured Galaxy Fold G model, and it needs the software to be tuned and optimised to run seamlessly across all the avatars of this device. And if the product is going to cost as much, the company needs everything to be close to being perfect. About the Author S Aadeetya First Published: July 04, 2025, 11:25 IST
