Recent rumors suggest that Samsung plans to release One UI 8 based on Android 16 much earlier than usual.
A new report claims that the company’s next-gen foldables could run the new software release at launch.
Rumor has it that Samsung may compensate for the slow rollout of One UI 7 by releasing One UI 8 based on Android 16 much earlier than usual. Last month, an early One UI 8 build was spotted online, suggesting that the company had already started testing the software release for the Galaxy S25 series. Now, a new report claims that it could offer the new software release on its next-gen foldables at launch.
Samsung is expected to lift the covers off the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 this summer. We’ve already seen a few leaks about the foldable devices, suggesting that Samsung could offer some minor design and performance improvements on both models. The devices could also run One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box, according to insider info obtained by Sammobile.
This seems plausible as Google plans to release Android 16 for its Pixel devices sometime this June or July. Since Samsung typically launches its foldables around the same time, it could host its next major Unpacked event shortly after the stable Android 16 rollout and launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 with the new software build.
It’s safe to assume that One UI 8 will incorporate all the significant changes that Google introduces with Android 16. Whether or not Samsung packs additional features for its foldable phones remains to be seen.

TikTok will not be banned in the US as of tomorrow.
The White House has once again issued an order granting a 75-day extension on the ban.
It remains to be seen what company might be interested in buying the service, with Amazon and Walmart both recently mentioned as contenders.
Ostensibly, the United States government wants to ban TikTok. But you would not know this based upon the words and actions of many of the parties involved. For years, fears around nebulous China-based concerns had legislators talking about a possible ban, and back in 2024 they actually agreed on making this happen, setting a clock ticking down to a deadline by which TikTok would need to find a new owner or leave the US. And now, for the second time, that deadline is being extended.
We were originally looking at a January 19 deadline, and after courts failed to intervene in stopping the pending ban, the White House came through at the last minute with a 75-day reprieve, put into effect on January 20. If you were about to pick up your phone and ask Google Assistant “what’s 75 days after January 20,” we’ll save you the trouble — just look at your calendar. It’s tomorrow.
Over the past few days, there’s been lots of talk about possibly savior investors swooping in to purchase control over TikTok away from parent company ByteDance — most notably, Amazon. But with no deal confirmed, the administration has now announced another executive order that will extend the deadline for 75 more days.
While that buys TikTok’s legions of fans a little breathing room, it’s still unclear which investors might still be in the running to save the app. Earlier today, ABC News reported that Walmart could be considering the purchase, but that post has since been taken down.
With this week’s announcement of economy-trashing tariffs already sending the stock market into a nose dive, are companies going to be even more wary of spending the tens of billions of dollars TikTok would cost? The way things are going, it’s starting to feel like these 75-day extensions might as well just continue in perpetuity.

Roku has plenty of streaming devices, but if you want the absolute best one the brand has to offer, it would be the 2024 version of the Roku Ultra. It’s on sale today, so you can get the best of the bunch at just $79.99. It’s usually $99.99, so you’re saving yourself a nice $20 bucks!
This offer is available from Best Buy. That said, it’s also available on Amazon and Roku’s own website. We’re not sure how long the sale will last, but Roku’s page mentions it’s a “limited time offer.”
There can be only one streaming king. Learn all about Roku’s most powerful offering right here.
The faster and more powerful Roku Ultra is loaded with a new and improved quad-core processor. You can enjoy channels that launch quickly in a responsive interface.
As mentioned, the Roku Ultra 2024 is the best streaming device the brand has to offer right now, without counting the TVs or soundbars, which are in a different category. In fact, Roku mentions it is its “fastest streaming player ever.”
More specifically, it is 30% faster than every other Roku player, so it’s for those who want actual performance. I’ve tested plenty of these Roku players, and can tell you they can be pretty slow, so this is a welcomed upgrade.
Of course, it has plenty of other great features and capabilities. It can stream at up to 4K resolution and sports HDR10+ capabilities. It also comes with both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, so it will look and sound great.
Furthermore, this one comes with an improved Roku Voice Remote Pro, which supports voice commands, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. This one also gets very nifty backlit keys, which will be a nice addition for using it in a dark room. Also, this one has an integrated rechargeable battery! I don’t know about you, but I find it very annoying when any devices require buying actual batteries.
Of course, you’ll get access to Roku’s full app portfolio. This includes access to all the great streaming services we all know and love, additional apps, and even over 500 live TV channels.
While this is not a record-low price, it is very close to the all-time low of $77.98. It’s still a great time to get it, especially if you want a fine-tuned smart TV experience. Go get it before the sale ends!
Extra deals: Other Roku devices are also on sale!
If you don’t care much for faster performance and fancy features, the other Roku streaming devices will do just fine streaming your favorite movies, shows, internet videos, and more.
The Roku Express, for example, is a great option for those who don’t have a 4K TV. It supports Full HD 1,080p resolution, has access to the free 500+ live TV channels, and gets a basic remote. It works well and only costs $17.99!
If you do have a 4K TV, though, you can get the Roku Express 4K Plus for $27.99. It supports UHD resolution and HDR10+. This one also has an improved remote with voice command support, which is a nice addition.
If you want a better upgrade, there’s also the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. This one actually gets a design improvement. It is an HDMI stick, so it will hide behind the TV instead of sitting on top of a flat surface. It also has 4K and HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision, and the same remote with voice commands. It’s still pretty cheap at $38!
These offers are all available from Amazon, and they are labeled as “limited time deals.” This means it’s only a matter of time before the prices bounce back to standard levels.
Samsung Essential S3 (S36GD) Series 27-Inch Monitor
Covers the basic needs at a really low price
Let’s start with the most affordable monitor. It’s only $109.99 right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s a lackluster monitor. For starters, this is a pretty sizeable 27-inch monitor. It’s pretty rare to find a monitor of this size at such a low price.
Additionally, this display features a Full HD 1,080p resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate. The latter is also pretty rare to find at such price ranges. Not only that, but this is a 1,800R curved display, which is a pretty nice addition. It even has a Game Mode, which will optimize contrast and colors to give you a gaming edge. It also offers an Eye Saver Mode.
In terms of connectivity, you’ll get an HDMI and a D-sub port. It’s a pretty nice monitor, and we would never imagine it would cost just $109.99.
Samsung M7 Series 43-inch Smart Monitor
For those who want a large monitor and a TV replacement
Now, let’s take things up a notch. I like buying things that serve more than one purpose. The Samsung M7 Series 43-inch Smart Monitor can work as a large monitor, but one of its main lures is that it doubles as a TV for chord-cutters.
This monitor has Samsung’s smart TV OS built-in. Additionally, it comes with Samsung Smart TV Plus, which can replace your traditional TV service, as it streams live TV channels. This is important because it has no physical TV tuner, but those of us who rely on internet streaming will love it. It even has access to the Samsung Gaming Hub, so you can stream your games and play with a wireless controller directly connected to the TV.
Because it is meant to replace an actual TV, the display is very large at 43 inches. It also has a 4K UHD resolution, which is amazing to have both for entertainment and for screen real estate, when using it as a monitor. It even comes with a controller so you can use it as a regular TV when lounging, and the remote has a small solar panel, so you won’t have to worry about it dying on you.
This is a higher-end monitor, even if a bit older. This means you’ll also enjoy a nice variety of ports. It has two HDMI ports, a USB-C connection, and three USB-A ports.
This is an outstanding monitor with dual-purpose capabilities. You are pretty much getting two screens in one for a really good price. It happens to be a pretty nice display, too.
Large, ultrawide perspective, with awesome capabilities
I always wanted to get one of those fancy ultrawide, large monitors, but they tend to cost thousands. Things are changing, and the Samsung Viewfinity S9 49-inch Curved Ultrawide Monitor shows me I can now afford a good monitor of this type without emptying my bank account. Well, at least not as much.
This is $749.99, but the original price point is $1,199.99, so you’re saving $450 here. This is also a pretty impressive monitor. It measures 49 inches and has a Dual QHD resolution, which essentially means it’s like placing two QHD monitors side by side. You’re getting a 5,120 x 1,440p resolution. It also has a very smooth 120Hz max refresh rate.
By the way, this one is curved — it has a 1,000R curvature. You’ll also get plenty of ports: two HDMI connections, a DisplayPort, USB-C, multiple USB-A ports, USB-B, and even a LAN connection.
This is quite the monitor!
Make sure to get your monitor sooner rather than later. We’re not sure how long these offers will stick around.
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is over, and with it ended a bunch of pretty nice deals. If you were considering getting a portable projector, though, you can still save on the Yaber T2. The deal is the same, you save $100, bringing the cost down to the same record-low price of $249.99.
This offer is available from Amazon, and it comes in the form of an on-page coupon you must manually apply before adding the item to your cart. You can only reach this $249.99 price point with the Standard model. All other versions are more expensive, but most do still get a $100 coupon. They just happen to have a higher retail price, so you’ll have to pay a bit more. The only one without an available coupon is the Smile Face version.
The Yaber T2 Portable Projector is actually one of our favorite of its kind. It’s a fantastic little projector you can use anywhere, and it’s usually $349.99. This $100 coupon takes the price down to the $249.99 all-time low price, making this quite the steal.
One thing we really like about the Yaber T2 Outdoor Projector is that it comes with a built-in battery. This can keep a projection running for up to 2.5 hours on a full charge, enough to outlast almost all movies. It’s an ideal solution if you want to take your projector to places, instead of having it tethered to the wall.
The Yaber T2 can project at Full HD resolution and features 450 lumens of brightness. You won’t even need to worry about using separate speakers, as it has a couple of 8W integrated speakers powered by JBL. In our Yaber T2 Projector review, we mention that we were actually quite surprised by these, and they performed better than we thought they would. Of course, dedicated speakers can do much better, but these will do just fine on their own.
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority
Not only will these speakers be great for projections, but you can actually use the unit in audio-only mode. This means it pretty much doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. And get this: battery life is extended to 18 hours when using this in audio-only mode.
If I had to complain about something, it’s that this specific model doesn’t come with a smart TV OS. That said, it is a very nicely priced projector, and you can still take advantage of the USB and HDMI ports. Yaber also sells a Google TV dongle, but it costs an extra $49.99. It’s cool because it has a nice design that fits the projector very well, but honestly, you can also use any other smart TV dongle or set-top box with it.
Oh, we also mentioned in the review that there is no automatic horizontal keystone, only vertical. That said, you can manually adjust the horizontal aspect ratio in the settings, using the remote.
All things considered, we still think this is one of the coolest portable projectors around. It comes at a very reasonable price point, especially if you can catch this deal. Go get it while you can!
These offers are available from Woot!, an Amazon-owned deals website. The deal is only available for the Satin Nickel colorway in both cases. There’s a limit of three units per customer, and they are in new condition. The website mentions this deal is available for seven days or “until sold out.”
A really nice pro about these deals is that they come with Ring’s full-year warranty. Deals on this website often only get the 90-day Woot! warranty.
The Battery Doorbell Plus merges features from some of Ring’s better products.
This 2023 Ring doorbell model offers 1536p resolution, and a 150-degree view both vertically and horizontally, which aids with person and package detection.
At $89.99, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus from Woot! is actually cheaper than the base Ring Battery Doorbell on Amazon. This means you are saving $10 for upgrading!
The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is a pretty nice smart doorbell. It records video at 1,536 resolution and has a 150-degree field of view. You’ll get the works in terms of features, including live video, two-way audio, motion detection, quick replies, package alerts, a removable battery,
We’ve already tested this model, and we really like what it has to offer. We found it very easy to install, and the video quality is excellent. Person detection worked very well, which will help avoid random notifications from things like bushes moving with the wind, squirrels running around the yard, or cars driving through.
Roger Fingas / Android Authority
I also love that this version has a removable battery, so you can swap batteries without removing the doorbell and taking it in for recharging. I own the Ring Battery Doorbell, and I have to remove it, take it into the house, and plug it directly using the USB-C port.
Another thing to remember is that many of the best features require a Ring Home subscription. You can use the doorbell without paying a monthly fee, but you’ll pretty much only have access to simple features like live view and basic alerts. If you want a plan, they start at $4.99. You can learn all about Ring Home subscriptions here.
Ring’s 2024 Doorbell Pro offers HD Plus video, 3D Motion Detection, and night clarity. Alexa compatibility and a quick-release battery pack add convenience.
If you want the best doorbell Ring has to offer, this is it. We must tell you it’s only an upgrade if you’ll be taking advantage of some extra features, though.
It pretty much has the same general specs, including the 1,536 resolution and 150-degree field of view. It also has the same set of features, including two-way audio, live view, motion and person detection, quick replies, package alerts, and a removable battery.
The upgrades with the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro include improved audio, better motion detection, bird’s eye view mode, and pre-roll support. It also gets dual-band Wi-Fi. If you care for those upgrades, you can pay $149.99 instead of the full $229.99 price point.
These deals are pretty nice, so you should probably act on them quickly if you’re in the market for a good smart doorbell. While Woot! says the deal will be around for seven days, there is always a chance they will sell out, too.
All of these offers are available from Amazon and are “Prime Spring Deals.” This sales event is scheduled to end on March 31, 2025, so we can only assume the discounts will be gone then.
Yaber Projector L2s Home Cinema Projector
The Yaber Projector L2s Home Cinema Projector is pretty much the cheapest projector we would still be willing to recommend. Our friends at Sound Guys gave the Yaber L2S Home Cinema a full review, and they were pleased with its clean, simple, and compact design. They also mention the fan is pretty quiet, which is always a concern with projectors.
This option is also very user-friendly. Maintenance and operation are simple, and you won’t have to do much tinkering to get your favorite movies playing right away.
Of course, it’s essential to keep your expectations in check. This is only $159.99, after all. It certainly has its downsides. Picture quality could be improved, for example, but the viewing is very decent considering its price range. It does get a Full HD resolution and 700 lumens of brightness. Not to mention, the image can be expanded to 150 inches, which is pretty huge!
If you care about audio, the Yaber L2s has two 8W speakers built in. They are not exceptional, but we must keep in mind our reviewer is an audio expert, and his standards are pretty high. He does mention they sound pretty good compared to other projector speakers, which is a plus for such an affordable unit.
The only thing I would really complain about is that it doesn’t have an integrated smart TV operating system. Again, though, this is a very cheap projector. It has a full HDMI port, so you can always pick up a dongle like the Chromecast with Google TV, Fire TV Stick, or Roku. Oh, and it has no built-in battery, so it has to be plugged in to work.
Yaber T2 Outdoor Projector
Usually $359.99, it’s really nice to see the price of the Yaber T2 drop to just $249.99. This is a nice upgrade if you liked the Yaber projector above but want a bit more functionality.
For starters, this one comes with a battery, which can run the projector for about 2.5 hours. This makes it a much better alternative for those who want to take it places and use it away from home.
It still gets a Full HD resolution and features 450 lumens of brightness. And you also won’t need to worry about speakers, as it has a couple of 8W integrated drivers.
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority
What’s also nice is that this one doubles as a portable Bluetooth speaker, as it has audio-only mode. When not projecting and playing only audio, battery life gets extended to 18 hours, so you can listen to anything on the go for quite a long time.
While much more flexible than the projector listed before, it still lacks a smart TV OS. That said, the brand offers an optional Google TV dongle, but it costs an extra $49.99. It has an HDMI port, though, so nothing stops you from using any other smart TV dongle or box. Additionally, you can simply mirror your smartphone using Wi-Fi 6, and connecting to it is easy because the unit has an NFC shortcut on it.
XGIMI Elfin Flip Projector
Now, if you really want a projector with a smart TV OS, here’s a nice option. It’s also only $279 right now, and it comes with XGIMI OS. Additionally, it has an HDMI connection and a USB port for local playback. Those likely won’t be necessary, though, as you can stream directly from it using YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and more.
It helps that the XGIMI Elfin Flip is actually one of the most interestingly designed projectors on this list. Its size is similar to that of an average book, and the frame flips into a flat design. When in use, the outer part of the projector becomes a stand. The design looks really cool, is functional, and is very portable.
You can project an enormous 150-inch screen, and it also has a Full HD resolution. Brightness is 400 lumens, and the two 3W speakers are less powerful, but we assume that is due to the unique build.
But again, nothing is perfect. This one also lacks a built-in battery, so you have to plug it in to use it.
XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro Projector
It’s interesting to see that the most expensive projector on this list is just $379. If you are willing to pay this, though, you will get a really nice experience. The design is minimalist and very elegant, and it’s small and portable.
For starters, this one gets Google TV built-in. There’s no need for dongles or fumbling around with your device. It can project at up to 120 inches and has a Full HD resolution with 450 lumens of brightness. Color accuracy is actually really nice, as it can reproduce 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Furthermore, you can project at up to 150 inches.
You’ll also get a couple of 5W Harman Kardon speakers, and you can also use it in audio-only mode.
That said, it still has no built-in battery, but everything else about it is really nice. And you can power it with any power bank that can output at least 65W.
Remember, these deals won’t last forever, and the sale is scheduled for March 31. The clock is ticking, so make up your mind quickly if you want to score one of these deals.
If you’ve been looking to get a smart doorbell, right now is your chance to get one at a record-low price. It’s a pretty good one, too. The Ring Battery Doorbell is cheaper than ever at $54.99. That is a 45% discount on the full $99.99 retail price.
This offer is available directly from Amazon, which owns the Ring brand. It is part of the online retailer’s “Big Spring Deal” sale, which ends on March 31, 2025. We can only assume this discount will go away then. The unit is available in Satin Nickel and Venetian Bronze; both are at the same discounted price.
I actually own this exact same model and got it for $59.99, so joke’s on the deals guy! You can get the Ring Battery Doorbell for $5 bucks less than I did, which happens to be the cheapest price we’ve ever seen this camera go for.
For this price, the Ring Battery Doorbell is quite a nice doorbell, even if it’s the cheapest available from the brand. It has a pretty nice 1,440p resolution. While that is less than the Doorbell Plus’ and Pro’s 1,536p resolution, the difference isn’t huge, and you’re saving a nice chunk of change with this one.
It also has a 150-degree field of view. According to Ring, this gives you a “head-to-toe” view of whoever approaches your front door, back door, or wherever you put it. Thanks to the night vision feature, the camera can also shoot at night, so this is good for any time of the day.
The Ring Battery Doorbell has many other features, including two-way audio, motion alerts, quick replies, package alerts, and Alexa support.
The one thing I have a bit of an issue with is that it doesn’t have a removable battery. This means I have to remove the Ring Battery Doorbell to charge it. That said, that’s just me being picky because, honestly, the battery life is impressive at about 6-12 months. So it isn’t something you really have to worry about very often.
Also, you have to keep in mind that most features require a Ring Home subscription, and plans start at $4.99 per month. Without one, the only main features you get are live view and motion alerts. Things like cloud storage, custom notification zones, and other capabilities require a plan. Learn more about Ring Home plans here.
Again, this is a record-low price, so if you’re signing up for this deal, you probably want to act quickly. These all-time low prices don’t commonly last long.
Extra deal: Pick up a security camera on the cheap
Remember the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery? Well, Amazon decided to change its name to the Ring Outdoor Cam, and I am still getting used to the change, but it is really the same device. It’s a pretty good security camera, too, and right now, you can get it for just $59.99. It’s certainly a nice addition if you’re getting into the Ring ecosystem.
While the Ring Battery Doorbell can keep an eye on your door, the Ring Outdoor Cam can be placed anywhere else as long as it’s within Wi-Fi range. It can record at 1,080p resolution and has a 130-degree field of view. I personally use a few of these, and that’s more than enough to cover the areas I need to keep an eye on. I’ve never had any issues with resolution or the field of view.
You’ll get a nice set of features, too. It also has two-way audio, as well as motion detection, motion alerts, real-time notifications, night vision, and Alexa support. It’s weather-resistant, so it won’t get ruined by rain or snow. The installation is pretty simple, too, as it doesn’t require wiring.
This one does have a removable battery, which usually lasts 6-12 months on a full charge. I just invested in an extra battery I keep charged at home, and then I swap them around to avoid downtime. Regardless, you won’t need to worry about charging it often.
Are you looking for a good smart security camera? You’re probably looking at the big players, but there are some less-known brands that make excellent security cameras with innovative features. For example, the eufy Security SoloCam S220 has an integrated little solar panel! It’s also 50% off right now, slashing the price down to $64.99.
This offer is available from Amazon as a “Big Spring Deal.” This sale event ends on March 31, 2025, so we can only assume this deal will end then.
The eufy Security SoloCam S220 is a very special camera for one main reason: it has a solar panel. As you can see in the image above, it’s pretty tiny.
While many of you might be doubting it will move the needle at all, remember these smart security cameras are very battery efficient. They can usually last months, so you don’t need much energy to run them. With that in mind, eufy claims only three hours of direct sunlight will provide enough energy to power the camera for a full day. You will likely get more than that on normal sunny days. Even if the sun takes a day off, the battery would still last about three months on its own.
Pretty nice, right? If you live in a place with enough sunlight, you might not ever need to worry about charging it! What about the rest of the camera? Well, this is actually a pretty nice offering.
The camera records at 2K resolution and has a 135-degree field of view. It has night vision, and Smart AI can detect both humans and pets. You’ll also get two-way audio, zone customizations, and support for both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It also gets an IP67 rating, so it will be safe from the elements outdoors.
What’s even better, eufy makes it easy to avoid subscriptions, thanks to local storage support. You’ll even get all the features without the fee, which is rare in the world of security cameras. That said, some features, like face recognition, require a eufy HomeBase 3. If you do want cloud storage, you can sign up for a eufy Cloud Storage plan. They start at $2.99 monthly. If you want some extra protection, eufy also offers some Protection Plan options that offer advanced security monitoring, dispatch, etc. All that said, these are extras! You could just pay nothing per month and keep it all local.
By the way, this is an Anker-owned brand. Just in case you were worried about purchasing from an unknown manufacturer. We know buying from random brands can be a bit worrisome, as they can have horrible customer support or make it really hard to claim warranty, etc.
If you want in on this deal, make sure to act quickly. It’s a Big Spring Deal, and it’s ending relatively soon. Also, there is always a chance stock will run out.
Extra deal: The eufy Security eufyCam 3 is much better, and also on sale
If you like the idea of a security camera with a solar panel, and easy local storage without subscriptions, but need something higher-end, this is it. The eufy Security eufyCam 3 is a great upgrade. It’s also 43% off right now, bringing the price down to $124.99.
Because it is bigger, it can fit a bigger battery, which has an estimated battery life of up to one year. Additionally, the solar panel on top is also bigger, which means it needs only two hours of direct sunlight to give it enough juice to run the camera a whole day.
Of course, there are other upgrades. It has a 4K resolution, for starters. Other features stay the same. You still get night vision, two-way audio, local storage support, AI face recognition, and more. The one downside is that this one requires a eufy HomeBase 3. The SoloCam S220 can connect directly to your Wi-Fi.

customers
notified
via
SMS
will
be
eligible
for
the
deal.
Finally,
customers
who
took
advantage
of
the
previous
line
offer
aren’t
eligible
for
this
offer
(and
vice-versa).
This
latest
promotion
indeed
comes
a
week
after
the
company
gave
away
free
lines
to
some
users
via
the
T-Life
app
“just
for
being
a
valued
customer.”
Customers
had
to
pay
a
$10
one-time
fee,
while
certain
plans
carried
taxes
and
extra
fees.
There
was
some
confusion
following
this
previous
offer.
Some
users
reported
that
they
were
able
to
claim
the
offer
despite
having
existing
free
lines.
Meanwhile,
other
people
reportedly
received
messages
saying
their
existing
free
lines
were
removed
after
claiming
the
new
one,
but
this
was
apparently
just
a
system
adjustment
by
T-Mobile.
