With just days to go before Samsung's next big product showcase, the products themselves are leaking to an extreme degree, as per usual. While Apple tends to keep a tight lid on its devices' specs and features, Samsung smartphones and watches typically leak widely ahead of their official launch.

The latest leak comes courtesy of prolific leaker Evan Blass. On Substack, Blass posted several very official-looking renders of the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, just a couple of days before Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in London. The renders show not only the device's appearance but also text showcasing various specs.

Those leaked specs include an IP69K dust- and water-resistance rating and an 800mAh battery, much larger than the 590mAh cell in last year's model. It's also supposed to be 12 percent thinner and a good deal brighter, with its display's peak brightness set at 5,000 nits, up from 3,000 nits on the previous watch. That matches an earlier leak, which claimed the new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 would have "a record-breakingly bright display."

Lastly, the leak claims the wearable will supposedly use the Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. Pretty much all of that lines up with other recent leaks.

There are only about 48 hours left before Unpacked at the time of publication, but maybe we'll get even more leaks before then.

Mashable will be attending the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, so check back in a few days for our live blog and udpates on all of the latest announcements.

Most people set up their home router once, connect their devices, and never open the admin panel again. That works fine until the issues come. The settings covered here aren't complicated to change, and most of them take under five minutes. The difference is that once they're done, your network is faster, more private, and a lot harder to mess with.

If you've ever wanted Thanos-like control over your smart home, you're about to get your wish. Developer David Ruiz has released a Maestro app in beta that lets you activate devices just by snapping your fingers.

It always seems like summer is the perfect time to start a new fitness routine or train for a Labor Day 5K.

TL;DR: Daisy One headphones are already sold out, with the brand’s first production run quickly snapped up across the U.S. and Europe. You can sign up for restock updates to be notified when the $399 noise-canceling headphones are back in stock.

Daisy Sound is already making noise in the crowded headphone market. Just weeks after launching its first product, the Daisy One headphones have sold out across the U.S., UK, and Europe.

The $399 over-ear headphones aren’t trying to simply compete with Sony and Bose flagships. Instead, Daisy is taking a different approach with features like adaptive noise cancellation, custom sound tuning, and Still Mode, a built-in collection of calming soundscapes.

While the first batch is sold out, Daisy says a new production run is already underway. If you want to get your hands on a pair, you can sign up for restock notifications.

Why Daisy One headphones are getting so much attention

At $399, the Daisy One headphones are competing directly with some of the biggest names in audio, including Sony and Bose. Rather than trying to outdo Sony and Bose on noise cancellation alone, Daisy is taking a different approach to what premium headphones can offer.

The California-based company is building a headphone experience around sound, focus, and calm, with features designed for people who want more from their headphones than just blocking out the world.

The feature getting the most attention is Still Mode, a dedicated feature built into the Daisy One. With the press of a button, users can access calming audio experiences directly from the headphones, without opening an app or keeping their phone connected.

Still Mode includes soundscapes recorded in California, such as rain, ocean, and forest sounds, brown noise, and guided breathing tracks. The idea is to give users an easy way to switch into a focused or relaxed state — whether they’re working, traveling, or simply taking a break.

Instead of using the larger 40mm drivers common in many premium wireless headphones, Daisy One uses 35mm dynamic drivers tuned for a balanced sound with controlled bass. It’s a different approach for a $399 pair of headphones, where bigger specs often get more attention.

You can also adjust the sound through Daisy EQ, while Dynamic Bass helps keep low frequencies full without making your music feel muddy.

Beyond noise cancellation, Daisy One includes the essentials you’d expect from premium headphones. You get wireless connectivity, transparency mode, multi-device pairing, Bluetooth calling, and both 3.5mm AUX and USB-C connections for wired listening. Battery life is rated at up to 45 hours, with rapid charging support, while the headphones feature a slim metallic design.

The first run sold out fast, but Daisy is already working on more units. Sign up for restock alerts so you don’t miss the next drop.

SAVE $500: As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,497.99 at Amazon. That's a 25% discount and its best price to date.

If it's been years since you bought a new TV and you want an upgrade that makes a noticeable difference, I suggest grabbing an OLED model. OLED TVs have more advanced lighting that makes them more vibrant and detailed than QLED TVs, especially when it comes to watching in dark rooms or viewing dim cinematic scenes. They're also more expensive, of course, but if you act fast, you can save $500 on one of Samsung's 2026 OLED TVs.

As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for just $1,497.99 instead of its usual $1,997.99. Not only is that 25% in savings, but it's this particular model's best price ever — even beating Prime Day by an extra $200.

The S85H is Samsung's entry-level version of our favorite OLED TV for 2026. It packs an NQ4 AI Gen2 processor that can upscale content to 4K and an extremely thin, glossy OLED HDR panel. The glossy display can be more prone to reflections, but it can also preserve black levels better in bright rooms. Just be aware of where your light sources are coming from before you decide on its new home.

Other features include a 120Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Color Booster Pro, AI Customization Mode, Real Depth Enhancer, Voice Amplifier Pro, and Motion Based Sound. The S85H offers the best picture quality from a Samsung OLED TV for the best price — especially now that it's $500 cheaper. While we find the 65-inch model to be the sweet spot for most people, size options range from 48 inches to 83 inches and each one is on sale at Amazon.

This week on Amazon Prime Video, we’re exploring five critically acclaimed movies that resonate far beyond the screen with their blend of powerful storytelling, standout performances, and superb direction. From survival-driven ingenuity, unflinching intensity, and a deeply human exploration of justice to artistic obsession and chaotic excess, each of these movies captures lightning in a bottle.

Most people don't think about their phone-to-car connection until it stops working in the middle of a trip. Suddenly, you're poking at a touchscreen, doing exactly what you were trying to avoid. Getting Android Auto to play your music the moment you start driving sounds simple, and parts of it are. However, it takes some deliberate setup and a few spots where things can quietly break.

Avengers: Doomsday is primed to be the biggest superhero movie yet. Marvel Entertainment has dropped a jaw-dropping trailer, and the sheer amount of superheroes in it is dizzying.

I have a habit of keeping all my software and files, regardless of whether I use them regularly. I have a sweet deprecated version of Noteworthy Composer (to run on a VM) and a portable version of Reaper that I've been using for years. The modern web and modern services have made it increasingly difficult (ahem, Amazon, ahem) to preserve software and digital purchases. So I preserve my software as much as possible, the same way someone might preserve their family photo albums.

Haylou has officially introduced its latest smartwatch, the Watch Hyper, and it's aiming to make outdoor-ready features more affordable. While many GPS smartwatches with offline maps can cost hundreds of dollars, the Watch Hyper launches at $85, with a $9.01 preorder discount automatically applied at checkout.

The company says the Watch Hyper is built for people who split their time between city life and outdoor adventures, combining navigation tools, fitness tracking, and everyday smartwatch features into a single device.

One of the Watch Hyper's standout features is its L1 + L5 dual-band GPS, which improves location accuracy whether you're navigating busy city streets or hiking on trails. It also includes offline maps, full-color topographic maps, and route backtracking, so you can find your way even without a cellular connection.

The smartwatch features a 1.97-inch AMOLED display with adaptive brightness, making it easy to see your screen in bright outdoor conditions. If fitness is your thing, the Watch Hyper supports more than 170 sports modes and offers features like smart workout detection, VO₂ Max estimates, personalized training goals, and workout insights powered by Haylou's Sevier motion algorithm.

Haylou says the Watch Hyper can last up to 24 days on a single charge, or up to 16 hours with continuous GPS use. It also includes Bluetooth calling, WhatsApp quick replies for Android users, voice-to-text messaging, an offline AI voice assistant, and 5ATM water resistance.

Grab the Haylou Watch Hyper now for the preorder price of $75.99 before the launch discount ends.

Having your files safe somewhere on the network doesn't help much if a completely blank machine can't even see the network yet. Getting a dead computer back to the point where it can talk to anything needs to solve a hardware recognition problem before the operating system exists to solve it. Early NAS handled this surprisingly well, and understanding how they did it makes it easier to appreciate why modern tools, for all their efficiency, usually can't fully replace what those older systems got right.

My Bluetooth mouse would cut out every few minutes on my Windows laptop, usually right in the middle of an intense working session. Then reconnecting it over and over got old fast. While digging around for a fix, I came across common Bluetooth bugs on Windows and realized my issue wasn't the device at all. It was a single power setting buried a few clicks deep in Device Manager.

You have good reasons to get excited about Samsung's Unpacked event this week. It's clear that Samsung will be unveiling a handful of products, but the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is undoubtedly the most exciting. This will not be yet another boring iterative upgrade.

With tech prices on the rise, budget finds feel more important than ever. If new earbuds have been on your radar, the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are one option worth a look that won't make a huge dent in your wallet. That's even more true now, as Amazon has slashed $20 off the list price.

As of July 20, the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds — in every available color of white, black, and yellow — have been marked down to $59 at the retailer. Normally, their list price is around $79, so this is a great opportunity to save. Keep in mind the white pair currently has a "limited time deal" tag, so if they've caught your eye, you'll want to be quick to scoop them up.

The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are a worthy investment. Mashable's Alex Perry rounded up reviewers' thoughts back when they were originally released, and various publications highlighted "Great sound quality," "Effective noise cancellation," and "Decent battery life," with the lack of Qi wireless charging being the biggest bummer.

With the help of 45dB Smart Active Noise Cancellation, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite tunes, podcasts, or audiobooks through these earbuds without outside noises constantly interrupting. Their battery life is pretty solid, too. According to the store page, they can last over 42.5 hours with ANC off when using the charging case, which is great news for any long trips or commutes you have coming up.

If they've caught your eye, don't miss out on this chance to score Nothing Ear (a) earbuds for under $60 at Amazon.
