    Samsung plugs Galaxy AI features into Galaxy Watches.

    Samsung’s Fitbit-like new Energy Score and Wellness Tips insights are apparently powered by “Galaxy AI,” even if it’s unclear exactly how. The sleep algorithm also adds tracking for “movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate and respiratory rate during sleep.”

    Next-gen Galaxy Watches will get these as part of One UI 6 Watch, which arrives later this year, but a beta program starts next month.

    Energy Score gives you an analysis of your sleep routine.

    Get a (virtual) job.

    Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator have arrived on Apple’s Vision Pro headset, letting you stack up virtual sandwiches or soak up simulated rays. Both VR titles are now optimized for hand and eye-tracking, too.

    Ultra everything.

    Samsung’s next Galaxy watch may not only come with a squircle-shaped redesign, but it also could feature new “Ultra” branding, as spotted in an FCC listing by MySmartPrice. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is rumored to come with a 1.5-inch display, a rotating bezel, and a third button.
