Samsung shifted its focus to stable builds for One UI 8.5 over the past few days as the software appeared to enter the final phase for a stable rollout, with the Beta Program underway and the last update expected next week. Samsung opened the One UI 8.5 Beta Program for the Galaxy S25 series in December. The beta activity arrived in six countries, while users in other markets remained on One UI 8.0, based on the Android 16 operating system. Samsung rolled out nine beta updates to the Galaxy S25 series during the Beta Program. The last, 10th beta update could be pushed on April 20. The final rollout of the One UI 8.5 firmware was said to kickstart on April 30 in South Korea. This week, Samsung uploaded new stable builds to its server for Galaxy S series smartphones.

Anthropic launches Claude Design, a new product for creating quick visuals

-
Image
A nthropic announced on Friday that it’s launching Claude Design, a new experimental product that lets users create visuals like prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more using Claude. The company says Claude Design is intended to help people like founders and product managers without a design background share their ideas more easily. With Claude Design, users describe what they want, and Claude will create an initial version. From there, users can refine the visuals with direct edits or requests. For example, you could ask Claude to “prototype a serene mobile meditation app. It should have calming typography, subtle nature-inspired colors, and a clean layout.” You could then tweak the colors, the size of the typography, or ask Claude to add a dark mode toggle. While Claude Design may initially seem like it’s looking to compete with popular design app Canva, which has just expanded its own AI capabilities, Anthropic said that it’s intended to complement it rather than replace it.

OpenAI rolls out major Codex update with automation, plugins and computer use

-
O penAI has rolled out a major set of updates to Codex, positioning it as a tool for “almost everything” in modern software and creative workflows. These updates, now rolling out on the Codex desktop app, significantly expand what Codex can see, connect to, and act on—bringing it closer to a true AI work companion rather than a narrow coding assistant. One of the most notable changes is deeper tool integration. Codex now supports more than 90 plugins, allowing it to gather context and take action across the tools many teams already rely on. This includes documentation platforms, project management systems, code review tools, creative software, and deployment pipelines. Instead of switching contexts, users can increasingly orchestrate work directly through Codex, reducing friction across complex workflows. Automations can now run in the same thread, so Codex can pick up where it left off, with the original context intact. It can schedule future work and wake up automatically to continue...

Galaxy S25 Ultra Review: A Flagship Smartphone that Exceeds Expectations

-
Image
Image: Samsung The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship smartphone from the South Korean tech giant, and it has left a lasting impression on this reviewer. Despite its uninspired design, the device has a lot to offer, including a stunning display, improved camera, and a user-friendly interface. But is it worth the hefty price tag of $1,300? Design and Hardware The Galaxy S25 Ultra's design is reminiscent of its predecessors, with a few minor tweaks. The device features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, which is both vibrant and sharp. The phone's build quality is solid, with a durable glass back and a metal frame. However, the design is not particularly innovative, and the lack of color options is a letdown. The phone is available in black, gray, and a grayish-blue hue, which may not appeal to users who prefer more vibrant colors. One of the notable changes in the design is the curved corners, which provide a more comfortable grip. The phone also features a lighter ...

This information comes from Japanese blog, Macotakara, which has a history of providing accurate information about upcoming Apple devices. According to the report, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to use the iPhone 14 design as a template, with a single camera on the back.
