The Honor 600 and 600 Pro feature a revamped design inspired by the iPhone 17 Pro series, showcasing an oversized camera island and vibrant color options.

Oppo developed the world's first 10x 50MP smartphone camera, featuring a quintuple prism lens that is only 29mm long, significantly improving light intake and pixel count compared to previous designs.

Virtual Aperture already works on the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra via the Expert RAW app, but only for the main camera. Having it available for the telephoto as well would obviously improve its usability.

The new camera features, on the other hand, are neither of those things. They're something worse. Something scarier. On this episode of The Vergecast, Nilay and David discuss the new phones, then dive into the ways in which the S26's AI camera features seem to be clearly designed to change the whole idea of what happens when you try to take a picture.

Samsung's next flagship devices will offer Perplexity as part of an expansion to support multiple AI agents in Galaxy AI. Perplexity's AI agent will work with apps including Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Reminder and Calendar, according to the announcement. And, some third-party apps will support it, though Samsung hasn't yet said which. The news comes just a few days before Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, so we can expect to find out more about that integration and how it fits in with Samsung's revamped Bixby

This year the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S26 has a base storage of 256GB, while the S25 started at 128GB. Even so, the price of a 256GB S26 went up a tick because of the memory situation mentioned above. The Galaxy S26+ already had 256GB as base, but that costs more this year as well.
