Would be a major disappointment if true. Samsung needs to realize this isn't the 2010s anymore.

[SamMobile - Samsung news! @SamMobiles]

The Galaxy S22, Galaxy A53, and other 2022 Samsung devices may never get One UI 8.5.

While Samsung briefly tested One UI 8.5 on some older devices, development appears to have stopped back in April. Recent rollout announcements also focus on devices eligible for Android 17, leaving many older phones notably absent.

The reason could be that One UI 8.5 is based on Android 16 QPR2 rather than the original Android 16 release, making it more of a platform update than a traditional mid-cycle One UI upgrade.

However, Samsung isn't breaking its update promise. Devices like the Galaxy S22 already received their final guaranteed Android OS upgrade with Android 16. Mid-cycle One UI upgrades were always nice-to-haves, not part of Samsung's contractual obligations.

Strange decision. Google makes a tonne of money via adsense on websites, but they're going out of their way to make sure users stay within Google search instead.

The math isn't mathing.

Entertaining and frightening to watch at the same time.

"Unethical use of Azure" reportedly leads to the firing of Microsoft Israel execs.

Microsoft has been investigating how the Israeli establishment may be abusing its products to target Palestinians.

Microsoft's Israeli subsidiary has been placed under stewardship of Microsoft France in the interim, after a Microsoft investigation uncovered "unethical" use of its products violating its terms of service and code of conduct, according to reports.

@icanvardar It says that, so it must be true.

Honestly looks great 🔥. A potential new era for Samsung foldables.

A new AI has been created that ‘recreates’ people’s exes

The tool creates an agent based on text chats, social media posts, and photos that users can then chat to as if it was their partner

Microsoft OneDrive app with a sneaky attempt today to start auto-backing all gallery photos!

Managed to stop it on time on my end, but based on playstore reviews it looks like many were caught off-guard.

Seriously @onedrive , you guys need to make sure this doesn't happen again
