I think a video tells the story much better. Here's a crease comparison between four foldable phones: Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Fold8, OPPO Find N6, and vivo X Fold6. What impressed me most about the Galaxy Z Fold8 isn't just how shallow the crease is, but how well it holds up over time. Thanks to its redesigned main hinge structure and improved stress distribution, the Z Fold8 appears to maintain its shallow crease for a longer period and even shows a degree of self-recovery. For example, when I unfolded the phone this morning, the crease was slightly more noticeable than it had been the night before. After leaving the device fully open for about 10 minutes, the crease gradually became less visible and returned to almost the same condition I had seen the previous evening. Of course, this is based on my observations of a single retail unit during everyday use, so it doesn't necessarily represent every device. If it continues to maintain this level of crease performance after long-term, repeated folding, then the Galaxy Z Fold8 could set a new benchmark for crease durability among foldable smartphones.

🚨 Exclusive: OpenAI hasn't released an AI phone yet, but StepX Neo has already beaten it to the punch. StepX has officially unveiled StepX Neo, the world's first Agentic Phone built around a native large language model. Powered by the native Step AOS operating system and the built in Amoo AI agent, StepX Neo deeply integrates the AI model, software, and hardware into a single system, creating a true next generation AI device and marking the beginning of the Agentic AI smartphone era.

A mysterious embodied AI demo has recently sparked a lot of discussion. In the video, two robots from different manufacturers with significantly different hardware architectures, the Unitree G1 and AgiBot Yuanzheng A3, are reportedly running on the same “brain.” In a complex indoor environment, they work continuously for around 10 minutes in a single uncut take, performing a series of long-horizon tasks including cleaning windows, organizing objects, resuming interrupted tasks, and cooperating with each other. What makes it even more interesting is that when one robot cannot reach a high shelf, it attempts to use a box to solve the problem. The two robots also appear capable of cooperating based on each other’s physical capabilities. If the claimed level of autonomy and the use of the same model across different embodiments are eventually verified, I think there are three things that really deserve attention: 1. Cross-embodiment generalization. If the same foundation model can operate two substantially different robotic platforms, it could mean that robotic “intelligence” is gradually becoming decoupled from a specific physical body. 2. Long-horizon closed-loop execution. Continuously performing complex tasks for 10 minutes, while being able to pause, switch tasks, and later resume previous ones, is much more meaningful than completing a single 10-second demo. 3. Collaboration and dynamic planning. The two robots appear able to adjust their behavior according to environmental changes and each other’s physical capabilities. These are some of the characteristics that truly general-purpose embodied intelligence will eventually need. That said, I would remain cautious for now. The video demonstrates extremely impressive behavior, but stronger claims such as “self-evolution,” “true understanding of the physical world,” or overturning the Scaling Law with only dozens of hours of training data still require much stronger evidence. Failure recovery and replanning during a task also do not automatically demonstrate that the model is learning by itself. So I wouldn’t call this the “ChatGPT moment” of embodied AI yet. But if the team later discloses the model architecture, training data scale, level of human intervention, and can repeatedly reproduce these capabilities in completely unfamiliar environments, this seemingly rough 10-minute video could become one of the most memorable embodied AI demos of 2026. For now, my biggest question is simple: Who is the mysterious team behind it?

Let's compare the app opening and closing animations in iOS 27 Beta 1 and One UI 8.5. The app animations in iOS 27 are not significantly different from those in iOS 26, and some long-standing issues are still present. When you tap an app icon, the animation does not start instantly and still feels slightly delayed, making the system response appear less immediate. The same applies when returning to the home screen. There is still a brief hesitation at the very beginning of the animation before the full transition starts. One UI 8.5, on the other hand, delivers top-tier performance, especially after my own tuning and optimization. Whether opening an app or returning to the home screen, the animations feel almost perfectly synchronized with your finger movements. The response is immediate, the transitions are smoother, and the overall experience feels more natural and connected.

Watch the video. This is exactly why the Galaxy S27 Ultra doesn't need a 3x telephoto camera.

Don't buy the Galaxy Z Fold8, it will make you unable to stop playing

First, the conclusion: the so called Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra leak from last night turned out to be a false alarm. After watching the original video over and over again, I'm convinced it isn't a Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. It's actually the blue version of the Galaxy Z Fold7. Because of the lighting and color temperature, the blue frame appeared black on camera, which led to the confusion. Here are the three biggest clues: 1. The inner display camera cutout is too large. Compared with the official Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra renders, the inner camera hole on the Fold8 Ultra is noticeably smaller. The one in the leaked video is still the larger Fold7-style cutout. 2. The rear camera housing doesn't match. The cylindrical camera housing reflects light with a bright metallic sheen, which is much more consistent with the blue Galaxy Z Fold7 than the black Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Some of the hardware details also don't line up. 3. The inner display is still highly reflective. The device in the video shows obvious screen reflections. However, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the first Fold to feature an anti reflective inner display film. Anyone familiar with Samsung foldables should immediately notice that the reflections don't look like this. Based on these three points, I'm confident the device in the video is a blue Galaxy Z Fold7, not the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. The confusion is understandable because the two generations are incredibly similar. They share the same overall dimensions and aspect ratio, making them very easy to mix up. The good news is that the real Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra will be even better. It will have an even less visible crease than the Fold7, along with the new anti reflective inner display film.

Galaxy Z Fold8 has a very useful feature: app-level display customization. For example, YouTube normally shows only two rows of video recommendations on the screen. After reducing the display size, it can show three rows of videos at the same time, allowing me to browse more content without constantly scrolling. This is one of the advantages of Samsung’s foldable experience. Samsung always gives users more control and more customization options, allowing each app to be displayed in the way that best fits their usage habits. A larger screen is not just about making everything bigger. It is about giving users more freedom to decide how they want to use that space.
