Android 14 will bring Predictive back gesture to Samsung phones

Google officially revealed that Android 14 will bring the “Predictive back gesture” to all smartphones, including Samsung, by default. The company initially started to work on this feature with Android 13 OS. It reminds you when you’re exiting an app to your homescreen.
Android smartphones come with an easy back gesture that lets you go back to the previous screen or home screen with a single swipe. But sometimes it accidentally takes you out of the app, which is quite irritating when you are performing an important task on your phone.

Meanwhile, to get rid of this problem, Google is bringing the Predictive back gesture with the upcoming Android 14 operating system. This feature will give you a preview of the previous screen before performing the back gesture.

9To5Google has spotted this feature working on the Google Calendar app. A person opens for an event and then slowly swipes back. While swiping, the fullscreen events page shrinks until it starts showing the previous screen, which is the calendar’s schedule list view.
This is how the feature prevents users from accidentally exiting the app in the middle of a task. The procedure is then coupled with an animation from Google Calendar that shows an inline event card contract in the list.
It’s worth mentioning that Android 13 users can also test the predictive back gesture on apps like the Google Phone and Google TV after enabling it from the Developer options. When you use the back gesture, these supported apps will show you exactly where you will reach when the step is done.
Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet users will be able to access the Predictive back gesture with the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update next year. We might more information through the Android 14 developer preview that may start at the beginning of 2023.

Galaxy S26 might miss 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 built by Samsung itself

The Galaxy Z Flip8 and Fold8 may exclusively use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, and Samsung apparently planning to ink a striking deal with Qualcomm to produce the “for Galaxy” chipset on its 2nm Foundry line.
According to SEDaily (via Jukanlosreve), Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, to be used in the Galaxy Z Flip8 and Fold8, may be produced at Samsung Foundry’s 2nm line. If it happens, Qualcomm would mark a return to Samsung after a 3-year TSMC exclusivity.
Samsung is expected to begin mass production at its 2nm process line later this year. Qualcomm is already delivering a tweaked variant “for Galaxy” to Samsung, and the manufacturing resort may also be switched this year for the next lineup.
Design work is expected to wrap up in Q2 this year, with mass production preparations starting thereafter, aiming for wafer input in Q1 next year.
Galaxy S26 might miss 2nm Samsung chip
As Samsung plans 2nm Snapdragon for H2 2026 devices, the Galaxy S26 series may end up using the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 manufactured by TSMC. It will be a subtle upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Elite with the same 3nm process.
Standard Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is highly likely to be produced by TSMC using its 3nm process. If Samsung manages to secure the orders from Qualcomm, the next-gen Galaxy foldables may beat Apple and Android OEMs with a 2nm chip.

Samsung launches AI KidZania with Galaxy S25 series

Samsung Galaxy S25 series is powering the AI KidZania zones. The company has introduced a revamped Galaxy AI experience space for children at KidZania in Seoul and Busan in South Korea.
With the latest upgrade, Samsung has replaced the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Fold6 with the Galaxy S25 series to support the AI-powered KidZania zones in the cities of Seoul and Busan.
Notably, Samsung has tailored the new Galaxy AI features to be easily accessible for kids. Children become AI secret agents, boarding a ‘secret submarine’ to reach ‘Galaxy Island’ and rescue KidZania’s mascot, ‘Bache,’ through engaging missions.
Exploration Zone lets kids press the AI button to summon the AI Agent for hints about cave locations. Next is Secret Submarine Zone, which leverages Audio Eraser to remove unwanted noise from Bache’s distress signal recordings to uncover clues.

“We’re thrilled to respond to the overwhelming support for the ‘AI Secret Headquarters’ by renewing the Seoul location and launching a new one in Busan,” said Soyeon Jang, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Korea. “We’ll continue to offer innovative programs to make Galaxy AI accessible and enjoyable for customers of all ages.”
Samsung plans to refresh the KidZania ‘AI Secret Headquarters’ story and missions every six months to deliver fresh, unique Galaxy AI experiences for kids.
