Samsung has recently won a design award for a “Fluid AI Design System,” and we explored its UI for its interesting visuals and its potential to mainstream in future mobile software.

Samsung’s mobile UI revolves around One UI, the software skin that sits on top of Android. Over the past 2-3 years, the company has been investing heavily in generative AI and agentic operating systems.

As a result, Galaxy AI has become a suite of applications and services that covers interactive tasks such as background audio removal, call transcripts, agentic voice assistant, call screening, and more.

Moving on, the phone maker has envisioned its consistent advancement in AI in the years to come, calling it Fluid AI. According to its description, this UI goes beyond static screens and predefined interaction rules. Instead, its agentic AI creates UIs in real-time and visualizes them according to the task through generative UI.

The concept shows the fluid creation of UI elements, such as glass design for backgrounds, round corners, better outlines, vibrant color schemes, and among these is the AI agent, which remains active to take user instructions.

It’s being said that this generative UI completes the agentic AI system, which requires such a fluid visual experience.

To reiterate, this is an official concept, but it might come to future mobiles or other devices. However, concepts are improved over time, all the way to their launch, to make them more practical and applicable on devices.

For now, Samsung hasn’t said anything about the release of this fluid AI design system, and we don’t see this coming any time soon either.

Samsung appears to be betting big on its first passport-style foldable. Fresh industry information suggests the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, the 4:3 “Wide” model, will lead the foldable lineup with display production of around 2.8 million units.

That’s well ahead of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is reportedly planned for 2 million units, signaling where Samsung expects demand to land.

The strategy goes beyond production numbers (via ETNews). Samsung is introducing the Wide model with a 4:3 aspect ratio as competition in the foldable market enters a new phase.

With Apple widely expected to debut its first foldable iPhone using a similar form factor later this year, Samsung seems determined to establish the wider layout before its biggest rival arrives.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 sits below the Ultra in the lineup, featuring a dual rear camera setup instead of the Ultra’s three-camera system.

Samsung will officially unveil the new foldables at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22. If you’re in the US, you can already reserve a device to secure a $30 Samsung credit ahead of the announcement.

The event will stream live through Samsung’s official website and YouTube channel. For complete livestream timing and viewing details, check out our earlier Galaxy Unpacked guide on SammyFans.

Samsung may be preparing to make its premium Android tablets a lot more expensive in India. In a recent development, Samsung has reportedly increased the prices of some tablets that are already available for purchase in India.

According to tipster @saaaanjjjuuu on X, Samsung is set to increase tablet prices by as much as INR 16,000, even though several of these models are still actively being promoted through retail offers and seasonal sales.

The biggest jump appears on select Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra variants, while the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series is also in line for notable increases.

If the information proves accurate, buyers who have been waiting for a better deal could end up paying significantly more instead.

Samsung is facing a fresh patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S., with the complainant Crestone IP demanding a ban on its phones, tablets, laptops, and chips.

According to PacerMonitor (via The BIZ), Crestone IP Management has accused Samsung of using four patented technologies across a wide range of Galaxy phones, tablets, laptops, SSDs, and memory products.

Samsung reportedly infringed on Crestone IP patents

The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, and Samsung Semiconductor.

According to the filing, the disputed technologies appear in multiple product categories, including flagship Galaxy smartphones, Galaxy Tab tablets, Galaxy Book laptops, SSDs, and NAND flash memory used in Samsung hardware.

At the center of the case are four patents covering different areas of modern computing.

The first relates to a hybrid RC and crystal oscillator that helps chips maintain accurate timing while balancing speed and efficiency.

Another covers secure password generation for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware, a technology designed to protect credentials and cryptographic keys from software-based attacks.

The third patent involves wireless media device management, allowing a mobile device to discover, connect, and control compatible playback hardware through a unified interface.

The final patent focuses on adaptive voltage regulation inside memory devices, reducing performance issues caused by sudden voltage changes during read, write, and erase operations.

Another ban demand on Samsung products in the US

Crestone claims these technologies are used in products ranging from recent Galaxy S25, S26 and Galaxy Z phones to Galaxy Tab tablets, laptops, SSDs, and Samsung devices equipped with TLC 3D NAND flash memory.

The plaintiff is asking the court to declare that Samsung infringed all four patents, award enhanced damages based on the alleged willful conduct, compensate it for financial losses, require Samsung to pay legal fees and court costs, and issue a permanent injunction preventing the manufacture, import, sale, or use in the U.S. of products found to infringe the patents.

Samsung has launched The Freestyle+ AI-powered projector in the US. This new AI-powered portable projector can adjust its picture to different environments while delivering a Full HD viewing experience of up to 100 inches.

Priced at $1199 in the US, the Samsung Freestyle+ projector combines intelligent projection features, Vision AI, cloud gaming, built-in streaming, and portable battery support into a compact design for hassle-free entertainment.

The Freestyle+ handles much of the setup on its own. It comes with 3D Auto Keystone and Wall Calibration, allowing it to correct image distortion while adjusting colors for painted or patterned walls.

Samsung has also added Screen Fit and Obstacle Avoidance, which automatically reposition the projected image if objects are detected in the viewing area. An ultrasonic motor continuously keeps the picture in focus.
