New Samsung earbuds are here, following announcements at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

Samsung announced two models — the Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro, which will retail for $179 and $249, respectively. The earbuds were released alongside the new Galaxy S26 phones and will be available to buy starting March 11, with preorders starting today in select markets.

It's been a couple of years since Samsung last released its standard earbuds and Pro models, so we rounded up everything you need to know, from what's new to pricing and specs.

The main improvements for the Buds4 and Buds4 Pro come in the form of improved audio quality and some design upgrades.

The Buds3 line introduced the Apple AirPods-like look, and now Samsung is streamlining it. Both the Buds4 and Buds4 Pro will feature smaller earbud heads, with the intention of providing more comfortable all-day wear. The stem of the earbuds leans into Samsung's blade design, featuring a metal finish, with an engraved area for easier access to the on-ear pinch controls. The final change is the transparent carrying case.

The Buds4 Pro come with an audio improvement in the form of a wider woofer. Up from a 10.5mm DD woofer on the Buds3 Pro, the newer gen will feature an 11mm SuperWide woofer. It is worth noting, however, that the Buds3 Pro featured a 6.1mm planar tweeter, while the Buds4 Pro feature a 5.5mm planar tweeter.

Both the Pro and standard models can now be used in tandem with Galaxy devices for hands-free access to AI features from Bixby and Gemini.

What's the same with the Galaxy Buds4 and Pro?

The Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro were released in the summer of 2024, at $179.99 and $249.99, respectively — the exact same price points found on the new Buds4 line.

Also the same between the lines is the battery life per charge and in the case, as well as the design differences between the standard and Pro earbuds. The standard earbuds come without a silicone tip and sit just outside the ear canal, while the Pro earbuds do feature a silicone tip for an in-canal fit.

Both generations of buds also feature adaptive noise control, noise cancellation, Auracast, and 360 audio. Between the standard Buds3 and Buds4, both feature an 11mm speaker. However, between those same earbuds, the older generation features an IP57 water- and dust-resistance rating, while the newer earbuds drop to IP54.

Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Pro

The Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Pro will be available from Samsung on March 11. Preorders start Feb. 25 in select markets.

The question of how to make hard drives faster has always been a challenge for hard drive makers. Yet we've never figured out how to.

You might have to pay a bit more for a new Samsung Galaxy — but it depends on the model you're planning to purchase.

The tech giant dropped its new line of Galaxy phones at its marquee Unpacked event on Wednesday. Samsung will start shipping the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra on March 11, and all three are available for pre-order now.

Unfortunately, the S26 and S26 plus do arrive with small price increases. Between a global memory shortage, tariffs, and inflation, the news is disappointing but not surprising.

Are there Samsung Galaxy S26 price increases?

Short answer: Yes and no.

The S25 lineup was priced at $799.99, $999.99, and $1,299.99, respectively. And here is the officially pricing for the S26 phones, via Samsung:

• Galaxy S26: $899.99

• Galaxy S26 Plus: $1,099.99

• Galaxy S26 Ultra: $1,299.99

However, there's only one true price increase in the S26 lineup. The S26 Plus is $100 more than the S25 Plus, which was priced at $999.99. For the base model S26, Samsung has simply eliminated the low-memory version of the phone.

With the Galaxy S25, the 128GB model started at $799.99, which is, obviously, $100 less than the cheapest S26. However, the Galaxy S26 now starts with 256GB of storage for $899.99, the same price as the equivalent version of the S25. So, the company simply cut the lowest-tier option in lieu of a true price increase.

The S26 Ultra, meanwhile, saw no price increases.

Why did Samsung Galaxy S26 prices increase?

Well, first of all, most things don't get cheaper over time, in general. (TVs are a bizarre exception.) But it's a particularly difficult time for tech products. AI's proliferation has sparked a global memory shortage that shows no signs of abating, which, in turn, has driven up prices. There's also President Donald Trump's tariffs, which has caused a spike in tech prices, too.

So it's no surprise Galaxy prices went up, but at least the increases were relatively small.

In addition, Samsung has eliminated its standard launch deal, which let customers who pre-ordered the new phones get double the storage at no extra cost.

Finally, after weeks of waiting, the full Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup is here: The Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra are all available for preorder now and scheduled to launch on March 11.

The Korean phone maker announced its latest series of Android flagships during a Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The S26 Ultra is Samsung's slimmest Ultra series phone yet, and it introduces the world's first-ever built-in Privacy Display. All three phones arrive with various improvements and new AI features, but the S26 and S26 Plus also bring a $100 price increase over the S25 models. In a hands-on demo, we found that the phones are slightly less boxy and lighter than the S25, and we'll be sharing a full review in the weeks ahead.

Mashable is providing live updates from Galaxy Unpacked, so let's dive into everything we learned about the new S26 lineup.

The new Galaxy S26 line delivers some key upgrades over Samsung's previous-gen phones. The phones feature a custom chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy.

The Galaxy S26 goes for $899, the S26+ for $1,099, and the S26 Ultra for $1,299. The S26 no longer offers a 128GB option, which is why the starting price is now $100 higher. However, the S26 memory and RAM options remain unchanged, yet the price is still $100 higher than last year. A global memory shortage, not to mention tariffs, has been putting upward pressure on phone prices.

As for cameras, the S26 Ultra is clearly the choice for pro-level photographers. Here are the cameras included with each handset this year:

• Galaxy S26: A 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP front camera

• Galaxy S26 Plus: A 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 10MP telephoto lens, and 12MP front camera

• Galaxy S26 Ultra: A 200MP main shooter, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, 50 and 10MP telephoto lenses with up to 5x optical zoom, 12MP front camera

What's new this year? Credit: Amanda Yeo / Mashable

There isn't a lot in terms of super exciting new flagship features, but the two most worth talking about are Creative Studio and Privacy Display. The former is a new, unified home for all your AI image and video editing needs. Rather than putting all of those things into separate apps, Samsung has grouped them all together in one place. Privacy Display, on the other hand, is an industry-first. The display technology will make the screen dark for people who aren't looking at it head-on, hopefully giving users more peace of mind when using their phones in public.

Other highlights include:

• Corning Gorilla Armor 2 on Ultra

• A redesigned vapor chamber to dissipate heat on the Ultra

• All S26 cases will include magnets

• Redesigned Document Scanner built into the camera app

• 60w charging for the first time ever in the S26 Ultra

For those interested in using AI assistants, S26 users will be able to choose between Google Gemini, Samsung Bixby, and Perplexity.

In all, this looks to be a fairly incremental upgrade cycle for Samsung. Stay tuned for our reviews of these devices.

Remember when Tracy’s Dog launched its OG suction vibrator and the internet basically broke? (That was back in 2019.) The only other vibe I’ve seen come close to that kind of notoriety is the Rose, but now the market is flooded with knock-offs. Enter the Lem Clitoral Massager. It's taken over TikTok feeds and landed in the hands of countless influencers, sex educators, and journalists (including me!).

It's earned unanimous acclaim for its ergonomic design and consistent performance across varying sensitivity levels, with 12K+ reviews on the site and a 4.8-star rating.

This vibe is so good, I recently ranked it as the best clitoral suction vibrator in our “Best Sex Toys” roundup. It's normally $159, but right now, you can get it for just $66.75 using the promo code LEM25. That's over $90 in total savings! (If for any reason you don’t like it, you can return it within 30 days.)

Not only is it super cute, but it’s also incredibly powerful and way quieter than you’d expect. Thanks to a whisper-quiet motor (under 50dB), you can definitely use this without a nosy roommate ever hearing a peep. Its lemon design also makes it easy to just blend in with your decor — no one needs to know! It features 12 intensity settings and patterns, but honestly, the first few are gentle yet powerful enough to get me there. It’s ideal for beginners, people who experience pelvic pain (hi, it’s me), or couples play. It takes about 90 minutes to charge, which gives you a full 120 minutes of use.

The Lem is completely waterproof and, of course, made with body-safe, medical-grade silicone. Your order comes in a cute little box that includes a charger and a silky storage bag. Bonus: It’s TSA-friendly for discreet travel.

It's a good day to be an Industry fan.

Not only has HBO announced that the show has been renewed for a fifth and final season, it has also revealed that the Season 4 finale will be airing early, meaning viewers will get all their pressing Harper (Myha'la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) questions answered sooner than they think.

SEE ALSO: 'Industry's Myha'la and Marisa Abela break down Harper and Yasmin's heart to heart (and that kiss)

One hour sooner, to be exact. Industry Season 4, episode 8 will be airing at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 1, as opposed to its usual 9 p.m. ET time slot.

Look, an hour isn't a ton of time less to wait, but on the flip side, it'll also give viewers an extra hour to cool down after the adrenaline rush that is the typical Industry episode. And after a finale in particular? I'll take all the cooldown time I can get.

The air time change is due to HBO premiering a new show in Industry's usual time slot. The show is DTF St. Louis, a limited series starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini. The three play middle-aged friends in a love triangle, but things go off the rails when one of them winds up dead. (Spoiler alert, it's Harbour, but you find that out in the trailer.)

Industry's Season 4 finale premieres March 1 at 8 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

Home Assistant is fantastic on its own, but with one open-source project and about 10 minutes, you can bring the convenience of the Home Assistant app right to your Linux desktop.

Whether you've been there since the very beginning for Pokémon's reign or you recently caught the pocket monster-collecting bug, you know it's only gotten more popular over the years. Feb. 27 is Pokémon Day, an annual celebration of the launch of the original Pokémon Red and Green games in Japan. This year, the brand is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special livestream and a variety of events that multiple companies are getting in on as well: eBay, for example.

The massively popular ecommerce brand announced its own way of celebrating Pokémon today: The 30/30 Collection, a curated selection of Pokémon items representing 30 years of the brand's history. The 30-item selection includes a holographic 1996 Pokémon Trading Card Game Base Set Japanese Charizard, for instance, graded as a PSA 9.2. There's also a special 2021 Seiko Pokémon Special Model Blastoise watch, limited to 700 pieces. Those pieces and more will be available on eBay for auctions that start at their original retail prices.

But you can't just go run to eBay right now and score low prices on all of these curated Pokémon goodies. You'll have to wait to compete with other fans for The 30/30 Collection and join eBay on Feb. 27, Pokémon Day, to do that. The 30/30 Collection will be auctioned live from New York at 6 p.m. ET. at The Standard Biergarten in the Meatpacking District, so you can join the block party and auctions there, or participate online.

Either way, it's a chance for you to potentially score coveted Pokémon goodies at thousands of dollars less than their market value. If you've had your eye on a specific collector's card or other piece of Pokémon history, you may want to mark your calendars and clear your schedule for Pokémon Day.

The vinyl revival is still going strong, with a niche but loyal following of audiophiles and a new younger cohort that are just looking for a more meaningful, tactile alternative to a world where music is only accessed via streaming.

Samsung's big Galaxy Unpacked event is nearly here, and you can expect lots of news to break.

The Galaxy Unpacked livestream will begin Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 1 p.m. ET. Mashable will be reporting live from the event, but you don't have to be with us in San Francisco to stay up to date. Mashable's Chance Townsend wrote the full breakdown of what devices to expect, and unless Samsung pulls a last-minute surprise, we'll finally get a look at the new Galaxy S26 lineup. That'll likely include a Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.

Rumors suggest the S26 will look similar to previous models, perhaps with a changed camera bump. We also expect to see the Galaxy Buds 4 debut on Wednesday, and, of course, plenty of announcements related to AI upgrades and new mobile features.

If you want to see all the news live, you'll have to watch the event. Luckily, that's easy to do.

Security researchers have warned of a sophisticated cloaking platform that lets bad actors maneuver around automated security protocols and spoof brands on Google ad platforms.

The service, referred to as 1Campaign, provides hackers with a one-stop-shop for running malicious ads and enabling fraud "at scale," a recent report by cybersecurity company Varonis uncovered. Using just a single dashboard, hackers can cloak malicious content from security researchers, ad platform reviewers, and automated scanners — who instead see a benign white page — and target general users with phishing or scam attempts.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy Unpacked live blog: See the latest updates

It's a boon for what is commonly referred to as "malvertising."

On top of standard cloaking tools, 1Campaign also offers bad actors real-time analytics, visitor profiling, fraud scoring, and traffic blocking options that can configure content for known security vendors, data centers, and VPNs in order to get around detection, Tech Radar reported. The tool logs IP addresses, geographic locations, company information or ISP, device type, security flags, and assigns each visitor a "fraud score." This data is then used to serve up targeted content.

1Campaign was developed by a hacker known as "DuppyMeister," and it's been on the cybercriminal market for the last three years. The developer runs support for the service through secret Telegram channels, and Varonis' Threat Lab found that the tool has an extremely high success rate at interrupting traditional detection methods.

Hackers have been manipulating search engines, including agentic browsers and chatbots themselves, into surfacing malicious ads and hiding malware in plain sight. Just this week, Bitdefender warned of a hacker network that had taken over 35 Google Advertiser accounts and launched hundreds of such ads that single out Mac users searching for specific software downloads.

If you aren't committed to a music streaming service, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a penny. Through March 2 at 11 a.m. ET, new subscribers can secure two free months of Amazon Music Unlimited. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members and $12.99 per month for non-Prime members, that's an automatic savings of $23.98 or $25.98.

With Amazon Music Unlimited, you'll unlock a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand and ad-free. With HD and spatial audio, you can enjoy your music in the highest quality possible on devices from most top brands (Sonos, Bose, Sony, Klipsch, etc.).

Beyond the music, Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Audible Premium Plus, which gives you a credit per month to "buy" an audiobook from its catalog, usually costs $14.95 per month. Amazon's Music Unlimited subscription basically gives you that same benefit for free. Each month, you can choose a new audiobook — even during the two-month free trial period. Just keep in mind that if you cancel your subscription, you'll lose access to your audiobook selection.

If you're already paying for another music streaming service, take a two-month break from payments and pause it for this freebie from Amazon.
