Samsung’s new Galaxy Book laptops still look like MacBooks.

If MacBooks had a numpad. Anyway, as of Feb. 26th, Samsung’s Galaxy Book4 laptops, with Intel’s new Core Ultra CPUs, are available for purchase.

We’re looking into possibly reviewing the 2-in-1, but there’s nothing particularly exciting about them—and with the Book4 Pro starting at $1,450, most of the configurations seem overpriced. Am I disenchanted? Anyone out there actually interested in these laptops, or have questions?

The Samsung Galaxy Ring won’t be a mystery for long.

The company announced this morning that it’s going to talk about its “new health form factor” at Mobile World Congress, which is going on now in Spain. Samsung says the device is part of a slate of AI-driven “seamless health experiences.”

The Verge is on the ground at MWC, so we should have an idea soon whether the Galaxy Ring is something special.

Did today’s update improve your Samsung Galaxy S24’s camera?

Inquiring minds would like to know. Officially, there’s a new “vividness” option, and “image quality and sharpness optimization code has been applied” as well.

Unofficially, SamMobile says it “improves text clarity while using high zoom ranges,” improves “the exposure of dark parts of a scene while capturing images indoors,” helps with backlit photos, improves colors and exposure in various photo modes, and more.

Apple dominates top 10 best-selling smartphone list.

We already know that Apple dethroned Samsung by selling the most phones globally in 2023, now we can see the model mix according to data compiled by Counterpoint Research. Samsung’s lucrative flagship phones were a no-show on the list, with only mid-range devices taking up the bottom three positions.

Samsung’s Galaxy Ring could arrive in July.

That’s according to Etnews, which claims that the recently teased wearable will be available in eight sizes and is expected to track sleep and health via blood flow and ECG functions, support wireless payments, and act as a remote control for some devices.

Late July is when Samsung held its last summer Unpacked event, but we’re still hoping for a stealthy glimpse at MWC in the week ahead.

Samsung’s older TVs lose option to view a Ring doorbell’s camera feed.

As of this week, Samsung TVs released between 2018 and 2021 can’t show a video feed from the Ring Doorbell Pro, according to a support page. The news comes after Samsung also announced it would be dropping its TV’s built-in Google Assistant support as of March 1st, 2024.

Between this and the subscription price increases, it’s been a frustrating week for Ring owners.
