Sometimes, developers get so engrossed with making the best app possible that some of the basics get left behind. I understand it; if you’re doing something amazing and you’re going full steam ahead, all the small quality-of-life features seem like minor tweaks compared to all the glorious new tools and features you want to add to your app.

But it would be silly of us to pretend we don’t know what we’re getting at Galaxy Unpacked on February 25. Thanks to exhaustive leaks, we know most of what to expect, including the new Privacy Display that seems to be the biggest new addition this year. But one thing that seems to have slipped under the radar is that the Galaxy S26, the often-forgotten member of the range, is rocking the biggest and best upgrades. Will this year…
Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityRumors are circulating that Apple and Samsung could bring variable aperture main cameras to their future smartphones.

Excel is deceptively powerful. Every time I think I’ve squeezed everything out of it, it quietly reveals another door you can open with one function. This time, the trick is simple and maybe unintended, but fantastic regardless. It is indeed simple: Excel can build URLs, Excel can URL-encode whatever chaotic human text you throw at it, and Excel can display an image from a URL.

The Galaxy S26 series is all set to be revealed next Wednesday, February 25th, but I just noticed something that could give us a little peek at the upcoming preorder deals. For starters, my credentials: I’ve been writing about Android devices almost exclusively since early 2022, which means the S26 launch will be my fifth time covering the unveiling of a Samsung flagship phone.
