Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in February 2023 with Android 13-based One UI 5.1, and later in October, the brand introduced the Galaxy S23 FE with the same OS. But that was the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered model, as the Exynos 2200-powered version ran Android 14-based One UI 6 out of the box. Regardless of which model you own, the Android 17-based One UI 9 will be the last major OS upgrade for the smartphone.

Check out our Galaxy Z Fold8 review for our thoughts on the new wide form factor Galaxy. Note that Amazon briefly had a “€400 off at checkout” offer for the Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, but that...

OnePlus is leaving Europe and North America, as the company has recently confirmed. As a parting gift, it's offering a free AIRVOOC 50W magnetic wireless charger in the UK, Germany, Spain, and France if you do two things: subscribe to the Oppo newsletter on Oppo's German website, and link your OnePlus account to your Oppo account. And now here's the catch: there are only 5,600 of these wireless chargers available, and they will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. And that's 5,600 in total across the four countries mentioned above. There is no country-specific...
