Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 is expected to arrive next summer, and today some details about it have been outed. It will allegedly come with the same 200MP camera that its predecessor also uses. This will be paired with a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, an improvement from the Fold7's 10MP shooter. The ultrawide camera will be new too, borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with 50MP resolution. That will also definitely improve upon the Fold7's 12MP snapper.

As a reminder, Micro RGB is a unique new technology similar to Mini LED displays. Unlike the white backlights used on Mini LEDs, though, it uses tiny red, green and blue LEDs that produce more accurate colors and offer smaller and more controllable dimming zones. However, because pixels can't be turned on and off individually like Micro LED or OLED, Micro RGB contrast ratios aren't as high. They promise to be brighter and more color accurate than other technologies, though, hence the high prices and "premium" branding.

Samsung phones are well known for One UI, one of the most functional and intuitive Android interfaces. While it's highly customizable, these phones often come with preinstalled bloatware. Some built-in Samsung apps, such as Wearable and Wallet, are useful within the Samsung ecosystem. However, there are at least five first-party apps that even dedicated Samsung users rarely touch. The preinstalled bloatware apps can vary by device, price, and lineup, but many are common across all Galaxy phones.

Global investors are focusing on Samsung Electronics as the group sets out a five-year artificial intelligence investment programme worth $310 billion over the coming five-year period, with analysis from Sunnov Investment Pte. Ltd. highlighting how the plan reshapes expectations for capital spending across the semiconductor industry. The commitment concentrates on AI specific semiconductors and on domestic manufacturing capacity in South Korea.

DDR5 isn't normally associated with AI accelerators. Those typically employ GDDR or HBM, which trade capacity for the higher bandwidth required for those workloads. However, the systems into which these accelerators are deployed do use DRR5 for the system memory to feed the CPU and to store intermediary data, like the key value caches used to prolong a model's short-term memory over extended periods.

Samsung is looking to launch a credit card in the US, reports The Wall Street Journal. The card will be a partnership between Samsung and British bank Barclays and it will use Visa as the payment network. This is clearly intended to compete with the Apple Card that rival Apple offers. That one is backed by Goldman Sachs and Mastercard (though we hear that Goldman Sachs wants out).

The AI5 chip is Tesla's next-generation hardware chip for its self-driving program, Optimus humanoid robots, and other AI-driven features in both vehicles and other applications. It will be the successor to the current AI4, previously known as Hardware 4, which is currently utilized in Tesla's newest vehicles. AI5 is specially optimized for Tesla use, as it will work alongside the company's Neural Networks to focus on real-time inference to make safe and logical decisions during operation.

By early November, anyone in the U.S. who owns a Family Hub fridge with a 21.5″ or 32″ screen will start seeing the ads, even if they bought the appliance well before the news was announced. Commenters on Reddit and Tiktok are reacting with outraged shock to the concept of their kitchens becoming the next venue for the performance of late-stage capitalism, and for good reason.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has gone from a little-known tech executive to a globally famous AI superstar very, very fast - and one photo from his trip to South Korea this week shows it.

Samsung's new agenda for its smart home includes sticking ads into its ultra-expensive refrigerators with screens.

Samsung may be partly to blame for unleashing the party speaker upon the world - its Giga line launched over a decade ago - but in recent years its entrants to the field have been strangely restrained, with only small light strips along the sides. Not so with its two new Sound Towers, which add LED lights that would be impossible to miss.
