Samsung’s latest offering, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, features cutting-edge hardware and a refined software experience with its Android 15-based One UI 7 pre-installed. However, with the excitement, there’s a significant concern after its launch.

Everyone loved the S25 Ultra’s speed, camera, and how well it works with One UI 7. But, there’s a big security problem that might spoil the fun.

In recently released February 2025 Android security patch details, Google disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability that has been actively exploited. This vulnerability (which can be identified as CVE-2024-53104,) affects how Android devices handle video frames, potentially leading to memory instability that hackers could exploit. Google has encouraged all Android users to update their devices promptly to reduce this risk.

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still running on the December 2024 security patch, leaving it vulnerable to this known exploit. This is particularly important because, unlike previous updates, it was urgent due to the active exploitation of the vulnerability.

Not having the newest security update on my S25 Ultra put me and other users at risk without knowing about it. This shows how important it is to get software updates quickly, especially for phones that are supposed to be the best in security (Sorry Knox!) and user experience.

Samsung now needs to act fast. The company must send out a quick update to fix this security vulnerability. People bought this phone expecting it to be very safe, so Samsung should keep its promise by protecting it from known threats.

Samsung usually reacts quickly to these problems, but the company is slow this time with the S25 Ultra (the S24 users crying in the background), which is concerning to me. The South Korean company needs to not only fix the issue but also keep their customers clearly informed about security updates.

In the end, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is great, but this security problem is a big mark against it. Users should watch for updates and install them right away. Samsung needs to make this fix a priority to keep users safe and keep its top phone’s reputation intact.

I reached out to Samsung for the official response on this but didn’t receive any confirmation yet.

Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is already a promising wearable for tracking your fitness, like monitoring your heart rate and sleep. But the company plans to enhance it more. A new report indicates that the future Galaxy Ring can control the other devices.

A new patent from Samsung suggests that in the future, the Galaxy Ring could do much more instead of just fitness tracking. It could control your phone, tablet, and laptop screens. Even, Galaxy Ring may soon be able to move files between devices, all with a simple flick of your finger.

The patent (via 91Mobiles) shows a “screen control method” that allows the ring to act as an input device, which offers the ability to interact with connected displays in a seamless, intuitive manner. This means you could swipe, tap, or move files between devices like smartphones and laptops just by making gestures with the ring.

Right now, the Galaxy Ring is mainly popular for fitness tracking. But this new patent shows that Samsung might be ready to turn it into something much more useful in our daily tech lives.

In the past, Samsung also thought about adding cool features like making the ring automatically adjust to fit your finger perfectly.

While there’s no confirmation whether these new features will appear soon, the new patent offers an exciting glimpse into what could be coming in future models. Moreover, the patent also suggests that the S Pen could see similar upgrades in terms of wireless control and data transfer. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung has introduced a new product called the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ which makes installing system air conditioners much easier. It is mainly beneficial for homes with limited space between the inner and outer walls of the ceiling.

Previously, installing air conditioners required complicated work like cutting the ceiling, carpentry, and painting. These works took 2-3 days and often lowered the ceiling height to make the space look less appealing.

The new ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit’ replaces this complicated step-down construction as it allows the system air conditioner to be installed quickly and without affecting the look of the room.

The kit connects the air conditioner to the ceiling seamlessly, keeping the space looking neat and tidy. In addition, it uses Samsung’s wind-free system, which provides gentle, comfortable airflow.

This kit offers an easy installation process. It takes just one day to complete. The kit works by drilling a hole in the ceiling’s outer wall and then installing the air conditioner on top of the kit. It can be used with all models of Samsung’s home wind-free system air conditioners, which include AI features.

The kit is available at Samsung stores across Korea, with prices ranging from 180,000 to 190,000 won depending on the size.

A Samsung Electronics official said:

“With the ‘Samsung Interior Fit Kit,’ you can install a system air conditioner more easily and economically without damaging the interior,” and added, “We will continue to introduce innovative products and services so that more consumers can experience the AI ​​life through Samsung Electronics AI home appliances.”

Samsung developing 50W wireless charging for future devices

Samsung is working to make wireless charging faster and more reliable with a high-speed of 50W. The company has introduced a new chip S2MIW06, which supports wireless charging speeds of up to 50W.

The latest power chip S2MIW06 is designed to work with the latest wireless charging standards, including Qi2. It supports different charging speeds – 5W for basic charging, 15W for faster charging, and up to 25W with a special Magnetic Power Profile (MPP).

MPP uses magnets to perfectly align your device with the charger, which helps avoid problems like overheating and slow charging caused by misalignment. While MPP currently supports up to 25W charging, the new chip from Samsung is designed to push this up to 50W.

Samsung is also working with the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to develop the next wireless charging standard, Qi v.2.2. The aim is to make wireless charging more reliable and compatible across different devices and chargers. Samsung has tested its new chip with many types of chargers to ensure it works well with both certified and uncertified ones.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 may not have MPP built-in but it will be “Qi2 Ready.” This means it can work with special cases that provide the magnetic alignment needed for faster charging.

Though 50W wireless charging isn’t available just yet, Samsung’s new chip is helping to prepare for a future where wireless charging is as fast and reliable as using a wired charger. The upcoming Galaxy phones could support this new charging standard with 50W faster speed.

In the world of smartphone cameras, Apple‘s iPhone has always been a strong player, getting better with each new version. The latest rumors talk about big camera upgrades for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. But with Samsung’s impressive Galaxy S25 Ultra out there, the big question is: Can it truly challenge the dominance of Samsung’s best?

According to the latest leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come equipped with significant camera enhancements. Apple is rumored to introduce triple 48-megapixel sensors across its camera system on the back, including the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. This would be a big jump from the iPhone 16 Pro Max, especially since the telephoto camera might go from 12MP to 48MP. Additionally, the front camera might see an upgrade to a 24MP sensor, an upgrade over a 12MP front camera.

On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is going to have one of the best camera systems around. It features a huge 200-megapixel main camera for the incredibly detailed pictures. It uses pixel binning tech to take 12-megapixel pictures that look great even in low light.

The S25 Ultra is also expected to keep its lead in Zoom, probably the best in the smartphone market. It’s rumored to have two telephoto lenses – one at 3x zoom and another at 5x optical zoom.

When comparing the camera systems, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a few notable advantages:

• Resolution and Low Light: The S25 Ultra’s 200-megapixel camera takes super detailed photos and does great in dim light thanks to its big sensor.
• Zoom: As per the latest information, Samsung’s S25 Ultra has two telephoto lenses, letting you zoom in on anything from people to things, without significant quality loss.
• Software: One UI on Samsung phones has lots of cool photo features like Night Mode and Expert RAW mode, making you feel like a pro photographer.

Despite Apple’s rumored upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro Max might still lag in a few areas:

• Zoom: The iPhone’s telephoto camera might get better, but it probably won’t have as much zoom power as the Galaxy S25 Ultra with its two telephoto lenses.
• Custom Settings: Samsung’s phone has more options, which can really help you get the shot you want.
• AI and Image Processing: Samsung has been using AI in its cameras for a while now, making photos look better in all sorts of lighting, while Apple is still working on catching up (too late in the AI party) with these kinds of features. Just remember this name “Object Eraser”.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max might get some cool camera upgrades, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still the camera king in smartphones. Samsung’s combination of great hardware and smart software makes it a tough competitor, even for the iPhone. Choosing between them might be about which brand you like more, but if you are all about camera quality, Samsung seems to hold the upper hand.

For people who love taking pictures, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best with its great camera hardware and software. But we all want to see how they really do when they come out.

Here’s a comparison between the rumored iPhone 17 Pro Max camera and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera, based on available leaks and rumors:
