First Samsung Galaxy Watch Active4 renders surface, showing a new, flatter design

Samsung will unveil a new breed of smartwatches soon, possibly in August. They will run Wear OS, the first Samsung watches to do so in quite a while, but it will be skinned with One UI for a smoother transition from the current models. Thanks to OnLeaks and GizNext we get our first look at the design of the upcoming Active model.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active4 (unofficial renders)

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active4 will move away from the rounded sides of the current Active2 model. Even the two buttons on the side will be rectangular rather than round. The new shape helps emphasize the thinness of the bezel around the display.

Since this is an Active watch there’s no rotating bezel, not a physical one at least. And note that the glass over the display is flat, not domed like on the current model. The lugs look different too, suggesting that Samsung will switch to proprietary straps.

According to leaked info, the Galaxy Watch Active4 will be available in two sizes, 40 mm and 44 mm, and will come in four colors: Black, Silver, Green and Gold. Note that the renders are just for illustration purposes and the represented hues may not be 100% accurate.

The flat display and narrow bezels match what Ice Universe tweeted back in May. The Cat also talked of “TizenWear OS” (which Samsung has confirmed officially) and a 5 nm chipset. Roland Quandt tuned in to say that there will be one aluminum model and one stainless steel one (as is the case with the Active2). There should also be Wi-Fi only and LTE versions of the watch.

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G review

Introduction Click here for our full and extensive review of the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, which the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is based on. We've said it before, and we'll say it again - Samsung currently has a really strong Galaxy A lineup. They took their "Awesome is for everyone" slogan to heart with interesting and fresh designs, as well as good value specs. Better still, the Korean giant definitely recognizes it has a good product on its hands and is now investing even further in extending its life. Particularly the Galaxy A52, which now has a new A52s 5G variant. Technically, it can be considered another generation of the product, compared to the vanilla A52 and the A52 5G, though there aren't too many new changes here. The first two A52 models came out back in March, with the 5G one swapping the original's Snapdragon 720G for a 5G-capable Snapdragon 750G and the 90Hz, 6.5 Super AMOLED display for a 120Hz one. All the while keeping the two devices physical...

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6

Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 Introduction You are going to hear that it's a new dawn for Huawei thanks to the first public release of HarmonyOS. And the new MatePad tablets are supposed to usher Huawei's products into a Harmony era and drop Android for good. But underneath all this PR talk everything boils down to one thing - can Harmony-operated devices rival Android's and Apple's? We have the MediaPad Pro 12.6 for a review today, and that's what we are going to try and find out. Just because Apple is dominating the tablet market with its iPads, it doesn't mean the competition should disappear. On the contrary, we'd love to see more slates like the Galaxy Tab S7 trio and the newly announced MatePad series. The tablet market might appear as a niche one, but it leads to some incredible UI advancements and some of those inevitably make their way onto phones, too. And today we are thrilled to meet a new large tablet with stylus support and a (supposedly) brand new...

Microsoft announces Windows 11 with updated UI and Android app support

Microsoft announces Windows 11 with updated UI and Android app support Microsoft today officially announced Windows 11, the next major version of the company's perennial desktop operating system. The new version brings with it several improvements, including a redesigned UI, updated window management features, and even support for Android applications. Right off the bat, the first thing you'd notice is the redesigned taskbar and Start menu. Windows 11 has a macOS style centered taskbar icon placement, eschewing the age-old left-aligned layout of all previous Windows installments. It still keeps the miscellaneous items such as the clocks and icons on the right, which does leave the left side feeling all empty. Front and very much center of this design is the new Start menu, which drops right in the middle with a completely redesigned UI. The new menu has the search bar at the top, along with pinned apps and then a whole bunch of recommended items below. You can still change yo...
