Embarrassing texts are the worst, we’ve all been there, but Google has plans to crush that feeling and is starting to roll out a ‘Delete for everyone’ option in Google Messages for Android – just a few months after initial rumors.
The new unsend function will soon have two different options, the first being ‘Delete for me’, which is already part of Google Messages’ ecosystem, and the second being its upcoming ‘Delete for everyone’ button that, as its name suggests, will remove messages from the view of other contacts.
A handful of users have started to notice the new ‘Delete for everyone’ option in Google Messages already, but not everyone has it yet, implying that it’s being rolled out gradually. One user with access posted a screenshot to Reddit showing what the new function will look like once it’s rolled out widely.
RCS message delete is also rolling out to beta people. from r/GoogleMessagesWe first heard of Google’s plans to introduce an unsend button back in February when Android Authority shared an APK teardown, and the site's writers managed to get it working in March. A feature like this has been a long time coming for Google Messages, but even when it does roll out it’ll come with some slight drawbacks.
So far, ‘Delete for everyone’ is limited to large group chatsWhen it comes to unsending texts, Google Messages is behind the likes of WhatsApp and iMessage, which have offered the ability to delete messages for everyone in a chat for quite some time. It’s good to see that Google is catching up, but there are still two catches you should note.
As discussed in our previous reports, it’s likely that Google will stick with its 15-minute window for its ‘Delete for everyone’ feature, meaning that if you want to remove a text from a conversation, you’ll have to act rather swiftly. But that’s not the only issue that users have noticed.
Although the Reddit post above gives an insight to how Google Messages’ new unsend feature will look, the user also draws our attention to the feature only being accessible in larger group chats. For them, ‘Delete for everyone’ only works in a group chat with 12 members, and they have yet to find a 1:1 chat that allows them to delete messages for everyone.
As it stands this new function has a lot of limitations, but because it’s only in the very early stages of roll out we’re hoping that Google will amend these once it's widely available to all Google Messages users.

In a press release shared with TechRadar Pro, 10Web said that the API runs on proprietary technology that was developed “before generative AI went mainstream”. The company claims the tool can be used by companies serving both entrepreneurs and small businesses, and that website creation can be embedded directly into product flows.
The generated websites are fully customizable, ecommerce-ready, and hosted on 10Web’s infrastructure, it was said.
In the press release, the company said that the API runs on a custom builder engine that creates fully tailored websites instead of “just pre-filled layouts”. It creates unique page structures, business-specific designs, content, functionality, and visuals.
Apparently, multiple AI models are leveraged in the engine, including Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Every agent is trained to perform a precise, unique task within the website builder.
10Web says advanced LLMs, such as GPT-4o-mini-azure and Claude 3 Sonnet are “fine-tuned for performance inside the WordPress ecosystem”.
Ecommerce featuresFurthermore, the site is built on WordPress, and it’s not limited to basic “visit card” websites, 10Web said. Product management, inventory, payments, shipping, checkout, all of these features are supported and powered by WooCommerce.
Finally, the 10Web AI Co-Pilot allows users to modify layouts, edit widget settings, and generate new sections in real-time, using natural language.
“As an entrepreneur, I know how many ideas die simply because building a website feels overwhelming. That’s the barrier we’ve been working to break,” said Arto Minasyan, founder and CEO of 10Web. “We created 10Web AI Website Builder so that the next generation of entrepreneurs — whether they’re launching a service, a storefront, or a side project — can get online instantly, with powerful tech working quietly in the background. This API puts the power of our years of work — across AI, hosting, and WordPress — into the hands of partners who can help millions of people get online.”
10Web will soon be expanding on its offering, the company stressed, saying that AI Co-Pilot for on-page editing, enhanced ecommerce & business management tools, and more, will be coming “soon”.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 appears to have leaked in full, revealing that the company could be set to introduce a massive design change.
The leak follows the emergence of the One UI 8 Watch update, which has revealed some big software changes coming to the Galaxy Watch, including Gemini AI.
As spotted by Android Authority, animation files for the new models buried in the code of the upcoming software launch reveal the design of the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, with both seemingly having a 'squircle'-shaped body.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 design (Image credit: Android Authority)The best smartwatches on the market, notably the best Apple Watches, all feature a squircle design that lends itself more readily to a wearable user interface. In my experience, circular Wear OS devices tend to have poorly spaced, wasteful designs that never feel quite as effective as watchOS.
However, if these design leaks are accurate (these could also be placeholder images not reflective of the final design) – Samsung is adopting the square chassis of the Galaxy Watch Ultra while keeping the circular display of the Classic range, which is arguably the worst of both worlds.
The images clearly show a Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic that look just like the Ultra and myriad Apple Watches, which would be a huge shakeup from the current design.
As the report notes, the Galaxy Watch 8 appears set to retain its two buttons, while the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic looks set to add the Ultra's Quick Button.
A firmware video also shared by AA clearly reveals a Galaxy Watch 8 with a squircle design. The report further notes that the files "don't appear to be placeholders," but doesn't rule out the possibility.
If these images are the real deal the Galaxy Watch 8 could mark the end of an era for Samsung, with the retirement of its iconic circular design leaving the Pixel Watch as the best Android smartwatch still embracing the circular chassis.
With the Galaxy Watch 8 expected to launch in July, we don't have long to wait before we find out.
You may also likeNew research from Netskope has blamed healthcare workers for putting their companies at risk by regularly attempting to upload sensitive and regulated data to unapproved locations, including generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.
Highlighting the extent of unapproved tool usage, the report revealed that 96% of respondents used apps that leverage user data for training.
Besides the use of unapproved GenAI tools, many violations also stemmed from uploads to personal OneDrive or Google Drive cloud storage accounts.
Healthcare workers are putting your data at riskThe figures claim 81% of all data privacy violations involved regulated healthcare data such as HIPAA-protected information, while 19% involved passwords, source code or intellectual property.
More than two-thirds of GenAI users in healthcare also admitted to using their personal AI accounts to send sensitive data while at work, potentially alluding to their frustration regarding confusing regulation and delayed processes.
Netskope noted, "this behavior is hindering security teams' visibility over GenAI-related activity among their staff."
"Healthcare organisations must balance the benefits of genAI with the deployment of security and data protection guardrails to mitigate those risks," explained Netskope Threat Labs Cloud Threat Researcher Gianpietro Cutolo.
Looking ahead, the research calls for faster deployment of organization-approved GenAI applications in order to reduce the use of shadow AI – a trend that is already starting to slow down, reducing from 87% to 71% over the past year.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies are also an effective strategy to monitor and control access to GenAI applications, with more than half (54%) of organizations now using DLP policies compared with 31% last year.
Cutolo summarized: "Healthcare organisations are making progress, but continued focus on secure, enterprise-approved solutions will be critical to ensure data remains protected in this evolving landscape."

Businesses are more familiar with quantum AI than you might expect, with more then three in five actively investing in or exploring the technology, new research has claimed.
A report from SAS has revealed how the technology's most popular application is in data analytics and machine learning (48%), with research and development a fairly close second (41%) and cybersecurity in third place (35%).
Supple chain and logistics (31%), finance and risk management (26%) and marketing (20%) are also areas that are being explored for the use of quantum AI.
Quantum AI might be the next development in AIThe company noted 'quantum AI' is the combination of AI as we know it today with the power of quantum computing, enabling the development of new algorithms, models and other systems that can process complex data, train complicated ML models and solve problems that would otherwise be considered highly challenging or impossible with today's tech.
However, the usual barriers apply as per any new technology, with high costs (38%), a lack of knowledge or understanding (35%), uncertainty about real-world use cases (31%), a lack of trained workers (31%) and a lack of regulatory guidelines (26%) all preventing businesses from being able to or wanting to explore quantum AI in more detail.
SAS even acknowledged that there's a lot of hype around quantum computing and quantum AI, adding that today's research into the topic can be confusing.
"With the emergence of quantum technologies, companies can analyse more data than ever and achieve amazingly fast answers to very complex questions involving myriad variables," SAS Principal Quantum Architect Bill Wisotsky explained.
Although many argue that quantum AI use cases could still be years – or even decades – off, today's research is paving the way and many enterprises are already starting to explore the emerging technology's applications now.
Among the key industries set to benefit from quantum AI include life sciences for drug discovery, financial services for risk management, and manufacturing for optimized processes.

When I get asked the inevitable question of what keeps me up at night, my answer is always the same: the pace of business. That’s especially true today. The speed of AI innovation and its impact on how we work, create and operate is breakneck. We’re not just moving faster. We’re moving differently. And that’s what makes this moment such a big deal.
We’re shifting how decisions get made, how creative gets produced, and who gets to contribute. AI is flattening workflows, compressing timelines and changing expectations in real time. That’s exciting, but it’s also a lot to manage. If we don’t stay intentional, we risk moving so fast we lose sight of what actually matters.
We saw this play out recently with OpenAI’s rollout of image generation inside ChatGPT. It wasn’t just another product update—it lowered the barrier in a way that changes who gets to create, and how fast. This wasn’t just a tech update—it was a major shift in accessibility.
Half a billion people now have the power to create visuals on demand without opening a new app, setting up an account or learning new software. Sure, AI image tools have been around for a while. But now they’re right there, baked into a tool people are already using multiple times every day. That’s the difference.
This isn’t just innovation. It's normalization. And it signals something bigger.
Speed now defines the way we work. AI isn’t just for engineers and data scientists anymore. It’s become a standard part of the marketing toolkit. And for marketers and agencies, underestimating this shift isn’t just a missed opportunity—it could be a liability.
Use AI to accelerate thinking, not replace itWith a few lines of text, you can produce everything from a rough concept to a surprisingly polished ad visual. In seconds. This collapses the early stages of the creative process—brainstorming, moodboarding, mocking up—into a real-time, iterative flow. It’s no longer a linear process gated by resources or expertise. It’s conversational, collaborative, immediate.
But when speed becomes universal, it stops being a competitive advantage. Strategy becomes the differentiator. The question isn’t “How fast can we make something?” but “Are we making the right thing, in the right voice, for the right moment?”
AI can help you generate content, but it can’t define your brand narrative or understand the emotional nuance of your audience. That still takes human insight. The marketers who win in this new landscape will be the ones who use AI to accelerate their thinking, not replace it.
AI is changing everything, including how you protect your brandOne of the most immediate challenges we’re hearing from marketing leaders is brand consistency. When anyone on the team can spin up an image in seconds, the risk of going off-brand—visually or tonally—increases dramatically.
This doesn’t mean locking down creativity. It means evolving brand governance for the AI era. Clear design systems, approved prompt libraries and integrated review workflows will become essential. Companies that get this right will turn brand consistency into a true advantage, creating more content without sacrificing cohesion or quality.
We’re already seeing forward-thinking teams explore how to integrate these tools into their sales pipeline without losing control. Expect to see more CMOs investing in systems that combine flexibility with oversight.
Measuring creativity is the next frontierIf AI speeds up content creation, it also raises the stakes for performance data. We can now test dozens of creative variations in a single campaign sprint—but without timely, actionable insights, that velocity goes to waste.
The traditional launch-wait-analyse-iterate cycle is too slow for this new pace. Instead, marketers need tighter, real-time feedback loops that connect content creation with audience response. Tools that integrate creation, publishing and performance tracking into a single workflow will become critical.
In other words, creative iteration doesn’t just need to be faster. It needs to be smarter. The best teams will treat every piece of content as a hypothesis, and every campaign as a learning engine.
What’s next?The launch may have happened weeks ago, but we’re just beginning to see the real impact unfold. The ad industry is waking up to a new reality: the tools are changing fast, and with them, the expectations of what marketers can deliver—and how fast.
Here are three things I’d suggest every brand and agency leader do now:
Give your team room to test, learn and move fast: Give your team room. See where AI tools spark creativity, and where they cause confusion. Use that intel to guide smart adoption.
It’s time to future-proof your brand playbook: Include AI-specific guidance: prompt templates, review steps, examples of what “on-brand” means in this new context.
Close the loop between content and performance: Don’t let AI outpace your measurement. If you’re producing faster, you need to learn faster too.
The tools will keep evolving. That much is certain. But this moment—the one we’re in right now—is about adaptation. Not to the tools themselves, but to the new cadence of creative work they’re enabling.

The long-rumored foldable iPhone will reportedly have a display made by Samsung, yet despite that its screen could actually have Samsung’s own foldable phones beat according to a new report.
Leaker yeux1122 posting on South Korean blog Naver (via MacRumors), claims that the foldable iPhone will have a new type of screen that we haven’t seen on any Samsung Galaxy Z Fold or Samsung Galaxy Z Flip models.
Supposedly, this screen will have a touch sensor integrated directly into the display, whereas with Samsung’s current foldables the touch sensor is a separate layer placed on top of the foldable screen.
Having it integrated into the screen is common on non-foldable phones but is harder to achieve with a foldable. It comes with advantages though, including apparently making this screen around 19% thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold displays, as well as being lighter.
That in turn could help Apple keep the foldable iPhone thin, with previous reports suggesting it could be just 4.5mm thick when unfolded and between 9mm and 9.5mm thick when folded.
Samsung could also benefit The successor to the Z Fold 6 could benefit from Apple's requirements (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future)That won’t necessarily make it any slimmer than the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is also rumored to be slimming down a lot compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. But interestingly, according to this report Samsung is only making its own upcoming phone thinner because of the work it’s doing to meet Apple’s display requirements.
So, in other words the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have a similar screen, but Samsung might not have pursued this if Apple hadn’t reportedly required it.
The foldable iPhone’s display probably won’t be identical to whatever the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has though, as Apple will apparently hold branding trademarks for the foldable iPhone’s screen, so it may well be even thinner than the Z Fold 7’s display.
And this new screen isn’t just said to be thinner and lighter than Samsung’s existing foldable displays, it also apparently has improved peak brightness, normal brightness, and color reproduction. So, this screen could be a real upgrade on the foldable displays we’ve seen to date.
Sadly, we probably won’t see it for a while yet, with the foldable iPhone not likely to launch before late 2026. But we may at least see some of these improvements in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is likely to land this July.
You might also likeThe USG LITE 60AX is Zyxel’s latest secure small business router. As with other Zyxel appliances, the hardware and software setup is straightforward. The device includes two 2.5G Ethernet ports, four 1G ports, and a 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio. It connects seamlessly to the Nebula mobile app through the WAN, providing control and status of the network over the cloud.
Under the hood, a Quad-core ARM CPU with one gigabyte of RAM guarantees excellent packet processing times even with multiple clients connected to the unit. The firewall does not provide a serial console port, while status LEDs at the back hinder troubleshooting as they are hidden. The plastic unit can topple easily when many connections are made to the backports. The lack of mounting holes and heat dissipation vents means the firewall can only be placed on a flat surface.
Zyxel USG LITE 60AX: Price and AvailabilityThe USG LITE 60AX costs $199 and comes with a five-year warranty. For this price, the user gets the basic Zyxel firewall package, including remote access from the cloud. Enterprise features such as SSH access require a premium license, which costs $456 annually. The smaller firewall version, the SCR 50AXE, supports Wi-Fi 6E for the same price but features a weaker processor.
Zyxel USG LITE 60AX: DesignThe Zyxel 60AX ships in a large box with only one RJ45 cable and a 12V AC power block. The white plastic case is recycled and has a red front tab to match Zyxel’s colors. It measures 16 cm by 6.5 cm by 2.3 cm for a weight of 700 g. The case lies flat or upright on a table, with no mounting hole. A small plastic tab at the bottom rotates to become the router’s stand, keeping it stable when cables are plugged into the back. A multicolor LED hiding beneath the red plastic tab shows the router's state.
The built-in switch offers two 2.5GbE ports for WAN and LAN connections and four gigabit LAN ports. Each port has a pair of LEDs to show link status and speed. A recessed button enables resetting the unit if it becomes unstable or slow. The router's power consumption maxes out at 31W. An AX6000 class access point with speeds up to 1.2 Gbits/sec on the 2.4GHz radio and 4.8 Gbits/sec on the 5GHz channel makes accessing the Internet a breeze, even with multiple clients connected simultaneously.
Under the hood, the 60AX features one application processor for the firewall and router. The design is based entirely on Mediatek’s chipsets and includes an MT7986 ARM-based quad-core CPU, two radio transceivers, and a high-performance seven-port switch. A one-gigabyte DRAM provides data storage for the processor while 512MB of NAND flash holds the router application and supporting software.
(Image credit: Future) Zyxel USG LITE 60AX: In useThe 60AX offers protection against hackers and ransomware beyond what a regular router typically provides. The subscription-free software includes an intrusion blocker and a firewall that filters access based on ports and IP addresses. The device also consists of the ever-useful ad blocker and cloud accessibility, allowing control from anywhere with an internet connection.
The installation is simple and allows the router to be used in minutes. Thanks to a Bluetooth interface, the setup is done with a smartphone, similarly to any Zyxel appliance. The mobile app, available on Android and iOS phones, scans a QR code at the bottom of the case. The router is then ready to be used with a few clicks. A firmware upgrade step might be necessary at the end of the setup.
The 60AX acts as a security router between the Internet provider’s modem and the LAN, actively monitoring and filtering inbound and outbound packets with a throughput of up to 2 Gbps, decreasing to 300 Mbps when used as a VPN. The router offers up to four VLANs, which is somewhat limited compared to competitive products. The 60AX consumes about 25W under normal load, with four devices actively surfing the net, which increases to a maximum of 31W when the CPU is under stress.
(Image credit: Future) Zyxel USG LITE 60AX: CompetitionThe Zyxel 60AX security router competes directly with firewall products like the Firewalla Gold. Zyxel's advantage is the router’s seamless integration into the Nebula cloud. The price is also competitive, at less than $200. The 60AX has a built-in Wi-Fi 6 4x4 radio, which the Gold does not have. This firewall not only filters out unwelcome access but also acts as an Ethernet switch and a Wi-Fi access point, which makes $200 look like a bargain.
Zyxel USG LITE 60AX: Final VerdictThe 60AX bundle features that cost several times more than the unit. First, the firewall goes beyond content and attack filtering with additional extras such as a built-in AdBlocker. A Wi-Fi 6 access point and a multi-gig Ethernet switch are also included. The user eventually saves on the electricity bill and space compared to having multiple items to do what the 60AX is doing.
On the negative side, Zyxel could have chosen a newer Wi-Fi standard, such as 6E. We also are not a fan of the round casing, which topples over more than the average switch.
Buy the Zyxel 60AX if ... you need an all-in-one router with a built-in firewall and priced reasonably well.
Don’t get the 60AX if ... you want a speedy Wi-Fi 7 connection or three or more 2.5 Gb ports.
As Gen AI adoption grows, organizations seek ways to scale the technology responsibly. The real challenge isn’t the technology itself. It’s how organizations integrate it into their workflows and operations.
Adopting Gen AI tools in isolation delivers limited results. It also leads to higher risks and security exposures by leaving users to use gen AI as they see fit. Businesses need to provide a private and safe AI framework for users. Then embed it in business processes and operations to unlock AI’s value.
Here are five key steps to do this successfully while ensuring data privacy and security.
1. Emphasize transparencyOne of the challenges with Gen AI models is that it is often unclear how they make their decisions. Organizations must prioritize transparency by monitoring AI actions and creating comprehensive audit trails. Adopting a process platform allows businesses to establish clear rules for human oversight.
It's also vital to ensure AI cites its sources. This enables users to verify output accuracy. For instance, the University of South Florida uses AI chatbots. They provide tailored academic information to advisers. The system gathers data from student records. It creates meeting agendas and drafts follow-up messages. It also provides links for easy verification.
2. Embrace private AI for enhanced data securityAI policies must focus on privacy risk mitigation and regulatory compliance. Public AI models rely on vast public datasets. This creates safety risks for sensitive information and intellectual property data.
By choosing private AI, organizations can maintain data control within their systems. This allows them to train AI models in compliance with relevant regulations. It also helps ensure that sensitive information is secure. This approach safeguards intellectual property and enhances trust.
3. Address AI bias responsiblyAI bias arises from data or algorithms that create unfair results. To address this, organizations should remove sensitive details such as race and gender from their datasets. It's also important to use diverse data and check AI outputs often to help spot and fix bias early on.
Integrating AI into existing processes also helps manage outside factors that could lead to bias. Training AI models on their data allows organizations to make fairer AI decisions.
4. Implement appropriate AIs for different use casesEmerging regulations provide guidelines on the responsible deployment of AI in various contexts. The EU AI Act, for example, outlines rigorous rules for high-risk areas such as employment and healthcare. In lower-risk applications, transparency is vital to inform users when they are interacting with AI. Identifying risk levels and using proper protocols are key for safety and security.
To maximize AI’s benefits, it should be integrated into high-value processes. However, human oversight remains critical for high-stakes decisions. For example, AI shouldn't approve mortgage applications. This could lead to unfair denials. However, it can help collect data and offer recommendations. The final decision should be made by a human to mitigate the risk of mistakes and algorithmic biases.
5. Embed AI into business processesAI works best with clear goals and when it works with people in set workflows. To leverage AI effectively, it should be integrated into well-defined processes. This allows the organization to access AI’s capabilities seamlessly, enhancing overall efficiency.
A robust process platform provides the necessary infrastructure to manage AI deployment. It introduces safety measures such as human approvals for high-risk activities. It also ensures detailed activity logs for better auditing and compliance. Importantly, it enables organizations to measure AI performance, identify bottlenecks, and optimize outcomes.
Final thought: The transformative power of AI in processesResponsible AI adoption is not just about ethics; it offers a competitive advantage. When organization's see AI as a core part of their business operations, they can build customer trust, reduce risks, and drive growth.
Companies looking to make the most of AI will significantly benefit from a process platform. This will enable them to integrate AI into their operations, making it central to their success.

Samsung will officially reveal the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge in San Jose next week during a virtual Unpacked event on Monday, May 12 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT (Tuesday, May 13 at 1:00 AM UK time or 10AM AEST).
We've had a steady stream of leaks since the device was first rumored during a January Unpacked event, and just last week a major leak revealed the details of almost every spec and feature.
However, we've never really gotten a clear look at the device. Now, that's no longer the case. This massive leak includes polished marketing images in three colorways that show off the S25 Edge’s screen, titanium build and super-slim side profile, alongside its glass screen protector, dual rear cameras, the USB-C charging cord and SIM-removal tools that come in the box.
You can see the images below:
Image 1 of 3A clear image of the S25 Edge's side, back cover, camera array and three colors (Image credit: Samsung / Android Headlines)Image 2 of 3Camera, processor and battery details, as well as a clear look at the face of the device (Image credit: Samsung / Android Headlines)Image 3 of 3What's in the box and another view of it's slim profile (Image credit: Samsung / Android Headlines)While Samsung’s not confirmed the legitimacy of these images, it's hard to deny that they display the professional finish and variety we’ve come to expect when the brand launches a new phone. We can see the S25 Edge's incredibly thin 5.8mm thick side, and three colors that will reportedly be titled Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Silver and Titanium Jetblack.
We’d already seen many specs leak, including the details that it’ll feature a screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor, a 3,900mAh battery, wireless charging, and have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
However, these new images further confirm that its dual rear camera setup will consist of a 200MP and a 12MP ultrawide lens, and add that the main camera sports a 2x "optical quality zoom". We also again see that IP68 rating, "all-day battery", "the most powerful processor optimized for Galaxy" – rumored to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset – and while there’s a USB-C cable in the box, as with pretty much all Samsung handsets, there’s no charger included.
And, if you look especially closely, you can see the images state that the device is "made to last" with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back.
And that's just half of what this leak provides. We're also getting a better look at the official cases for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge in various colors, and how they'll help showcase the thinness of the device.

There is also reportedly a translucent silicone option. Below, however, is what is being called the 'Kindsuit case' for the S25 Edge. Already being used with the Samsung Galaxy S25, it's a leather-like synthetic material available in the same three colors.
Image 1 of 2The Galaxy S25 Edge's 'Kindsuit case' in three colors (Image credit: Samsung / Android Headlines)Image 2 of 2(Image credit: Samsung / Android Headlines) Old news, new detailWhile this new report and photo set hasn’t really taught us anything new – there's definitely something exciting about this new phone, and given our incredible experiences with the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Ultra, S24 FE and Galaxy A56, we’re especially keen to see if the South Korean tech giant can keep up its winning streak in what looks set to be a widely adopted new form factor – even Apple’s getting on board, if rumors of the iPhone 17 Air are accurate.
If these images are legitimate, and whether or not you think a thinner phone is necessary, it's certainly an attractive device – and they go a long way to clearing up any doubts we had that the super thin titanium frame will be a drawcard. In combination with what looks like a great camera, a durable frame and a beautifully fast display, it's clear it has the makings of one of 2025’s best phones.
The biggest unanswered question is, of course, how much that slim profile will set us back. Last week's leak stated it would sit around $1,415 / £1,065 / AU$2,205, but thankfully, we won’t have to wait long to find out.

Ordinarily, removing botnets is a tedious, manual process that can take days or even weeks. ECHO aims to change that. In testing, it successfully neutralized 523 out of 702 Android malware samples, achieving a 75% success rate.
The idea of hijacking malware’s communication channels isn’t entirely new. In 2019, Avast and French authorities collaborated to dismantle the Retadup botnet in Latin America. While successful, the effort was difficult to reproduce.
“This is a really good approach, but it was extremely labor-intensive,” said Brendan Saltaformaggio, associate professor at Georgia Tech. “So, my group got together and realized we have the research to make this a scientific, systematic, reproducible technique, rather than a one-off, human-driven, miserable effort.”
ECHO works by first mapping how the malware deploys code. It then analyzes whether these deployment channels can be reused to carry a new, benign payload that disables the original infection.
Once validated, this remediation code is tested and deployed. The process significantly reduces botnet response time and limits potential damage.
The tool, now open sourced on GitHub, isn’t meant to replace traditional security solutions but to complement them.
“We can never achieve a perfect solution, but we can raise the bar high enough for an attacker that it wouldn’t be worth it for them to use malware this way,” Saltaformaggio explained.
Organizations using antivirus, EPP, and other malware protection tools can turn to ECHO to streamline remediation once a breach is detected.
