0

Highlights

  • A 61-year-old woman detected atrial fibrillation (Afib) using her Galaxy Watch.
  • Samsung introduced an irregular heart rhythm notification feature in the Galaxy Watch 6 series in 2023.

Samsung introduced the irregular heart rhythm notification feature with the Galaxy Watch 6 series in 2023. We have been hearing several stories since then where users credited Galaxy Watches for detecting heart issues early and helping them get timely medical attention.

In a recent case reported by multiple media outlets, a 61-year-old woman shared that her Galaxy Watch detected atrial fibrillation (Afib), a condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly and often too fast. While not immediately life-threatening, untreated Afib can lead to serious complications like strokes.

At first, the woman ignored the notification. However, after receiving four alerts about irregular heart rhythms, she decided to seek medical help. Doctors confirmed she had Afib, and she is now on medication.

While sharing her experience on Reddit, she said, “Around midnight on Saturday, I received a notification from the Galaxy Watch saying that an irregular heart rhythm was detected.[…] I measured an electrocardiogram (ECG) according to the UI guide displayed on the Galaxy Watch screen and received the results of an atrial fibrillation (Afib) diagnosis.” (machine translated from Korean).

“After confirming that the electrocardiogram results showed atrial fibrillation, I called the health insurance counselling nurse, and around this time, I felt a slight pain from the left side of my neck down to my shoulder,” she further added.

Samsung has since expanded the ECG and blood pressure (BP) monitoring features to the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 4 series in India. In a previous report, a Galaxy Watch 5 user discovered they had pericarditis, which is an inflammation of the membrane around the heart through an ECG test.

What’s incredible is how the advancement in wearable technology is really helping users catch serious health conditions before they become severe.

FAQs

Q1. What feature was introduced in the Galaxy Watch 6 series in 2023?

Answer. Samsung introduced the irregular heart rhythm notification feature with the Galaxy Watch 6 series in 2023.

Q2. How did a 61-year-old woman detect her heart condition using the Galaxy Watch?

Answer. The woman received multiple alerts about irregular heart rhythms on her Galaxy Watch, which led her to seek medical help. Doctors confirmed she had atrial fibrillation (Afib), and she is now on medication.

Q3. Which additional health monitoring features do we have in Galaxy Watch?

Answer. Samsung has expanded ECG and blood pressure (BP) monitoring features to the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 4 series in India.

Samsung Galaxy S26 May Feature a Massive 6,000mAh+ Battery Capacity with New Tech

0

Highlights

  • The Samsung Galaxy S26 is expected to feature a battery upgrade with silicon carbon technology.
  • It will potentially result in achieving a battery capacity of 6,000mAh or even 7,000mAh.
  • Silicon carbon batteries are more energy-dense than traditional lithium-ion batteries.
  • Reports suggest that the Galaxy S26 with its new battery technology could debut in 2026.

Even though the Galaxy S25 has just launched, reports about its successor are already surfacing online. It appears Samsung is making a major battery upgrade for the Galaxy S26. Here’s everything we know about this update so far.

Battery Upgrade for the Galaxy S26

The Galaxy S25 received mixed reactions mainly because its battery specs remained unchanged from the previous year. However, a new report from the Korean News website FNNews suggests that Samsung is planning a big leap in battery technology for the Galaxy S26, which could debut in 2026.

According to the report, Samsung is working on introducing silicon carbon technology to improve efficiency and capacity. This shift could result in a battery of 6,000mAh or even 7,000mAh while maintaining the same physical size.

Silicon carbon batteries are more energy-dense than traditional lithium-ion batteries. By adjusting the graphite-to-silicon ratio, they can store more power without increasing size. We’ve already seen this technology in action with phones like the Honor Magic 7 Pro and if done right, it could be a game-changer for Samsung.

Popular tipster @Jukanlosreve also shared the FNNews piece on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, which many tech enthusiasts are assuming to be a confirmation.


The FNNews report also highlights (translated via Google Translate), “Recently, Chinese smartphone manufacturers are competing to release smartphones equipped with silicon carbon batteries. A silicon carbon battery made by Chinese manufacturer CATL was used. Smartphones recently released by Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Vivo, and ZTE have battery capacities of 6000~7000mAh and wired charging speeds of 80~100W. Chinese IT tipster Digital Chat Station predicted, “This year, many flagship (top-end) smartphones will support 7,000 mAh and 100 W or more,” and “the battery capacity of mid-range smartphones will increase to 7,500 to 8,000 mAh.”

Samsung hasn’t exactly made any major innovations in battery life lately. The Galaxy S24 series had decent battery capacities but nothing groundbreaking. The Galaxy S25 followed the same trend, carrying over similar battery specs. However, if the Galaxy S26 comes with a significantly larger and more efficient battery, it could finally put Samsung back ahead in battery performance.

As of now, all the updates are part of speculations and nothing has been confirmed including the claim in multiple leaks that suggest a higher-capacity Galaxy S device is coming in 2026.

FAQs

Q1. What is the expected battery capacity of the Samsung Galaxy S26?

Answer. The Samsung Galaxy S26 is expected to feature a battery capacity of 6,000mAh or even 7,000mAh, thanks to silicon carbon technology.

Q2. What technology is Samsung using for the battery capacity of the Galaxy S26?

Answer. Samsung is working on introducing silicon carbon technology to improve battery efficiency and capacity for the Galaxy S26.

Q3. When is the Samsung Galaxy S26 expected to debut?

Answer. Reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S26, with its new battery technology, could debut in 2026.

However, as we started using the phone, some more aspects of the design became more noticeable over time. First of all, it is quite durable and resistant to scratches, dust or fingerprints. We mostly used the phone without a cover and it still looks almost new even after months of usage.

Moreover, the lightweight body with a slim profile and curved edges together work well ensuring a comfortable grip on the phone for a long time.

Overall, it is a decent phone design-wise. The button placement follows regular design language with the power button on the right side and volume rockers on the left. The OnePlus alert slider on the top left definitely comes in handy.

OnePlus Nord 4 – Display and Multimedia Experience

OnePlus Nord 4 – Display and Multimedia Experience
  • 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations
  • 240Hz touch sampling rate for responsive touch input
  • Peak brightness of 2150 nits, excellent for outdoor visibility
  • 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage for vibrant, accurate colours
  • HDR10 support for high dynamic range content

While most people would talk about the design and hardware when it comes to this phone, for us, the OnePlus Nord 4 display was definitely a highlight after using the phone as the primary device. For under 30K-segment phones, this 6.74-inch AMOLED is one of the best displays we have seen last year.

With a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2150 nits, we didn’t face any issues with the display performance. It is super smooth and maintains its responsiveness during all tasks. We also didn’t face any particular issues using the phone outdoors. The screen adapts to its surroundings well and remains visible.

The punch-hole design with extremely narrow bezels on all sides makes the viewing experience on the phone very immersive. The picture quality is great and the screen remains vibrant for high-definition visuals. We are also glad that with updates, the phone now gets HDR support for Netflix.

Moreover, the speakers are also quite loud and add to the display performance.

OnePlus Nord 4 – Performance

OnePlus Nord 4 – Performance
  • Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3
  • Up to 12GB (LPDDR5X)
  • Up to 512GB (UFS 4.0)
  • OxygenOS 14.1 based on Android 14

OnePlus Nord 4 comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, which needs no introduction to the mid-range smartphones. Now, this is a powerful processor and in our first-hand experience, it supports almost every task you can possibly imagine on a smartphone.

Everyday scrolling, app launches and multitasking is a breeze on this device. In our extended use, we hardly faced any significant lags or performance issues.

The hardware is also well-equipped to handle heavy gaming. We spent a good amount of time playing games like the Call of Duty or some racing games on this phone and the experience was smooth. We hardly faced any stutters or noticeable lags when playing the graphic-heavy games on medium settings. Being a metal body phone, we initially assumed that there could be heating issues during long gaming sessions, but the phone manages heat surprisingly well.

We used the 12GB RAM unit, which was more than enough for our loaded apps and media. The phone never slowed down or experienced any specific performance drops.

Moreover, thanks to the multiple updates OnePlus has rolled since its launch, the software performance has improved over time and has been constantly optimised as well. The manufacturer has promised years of software updates and six years of security patches, which means you can rest assured that the phone will be up-to-date for a good number of years.

OnePlus Nord 4 – AI Features

OnePlus Nord 4 – AI Features

Speaking of performance, the OnePlus Nord 4 does offer some cool and handy AI features that only add to the overall device experience. There are features like AI Audio Summary, Article Summary, AI Eraser and AI Smart Cutout.

The AI Audio Summary feature is very useful if you attend lectures or meetings. You can just record the event and your phone can easily summarise it while highlighting the key points. The same is the case with the AI Article Summary feature. We mostly used it to quickly read lengthy news articles or even editorial stories. The outcome is usually accurate but there are times when it takes a little longer to produce the results

For photography enthusiasts, there is the AI Eraser and AI Smart Cutout. Both tools work decently well even if not flawless. Below are some results –

OnePlus Nord 4 – Camera Performance

OnePlus Nord 4 – Camera Performance
  • 50-megapixel (OIS, EIS) Main camera, up to 4K/ 60fps video
  • 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, up to 1080p/30fps video
  • 16-megapixel selfie camera, up to 1080p/30fps video

The camera performance of the OnePlus Nord 4 is quite impressive in the long run. The 50 MP main camera with OIS and EIS support is perfect for capturing everyday moments. We particularly found this excellent for long scenic shots taken when outdoors. It captures plenty of details and keeps the images quite natural looking when the lighting is right.

Meanwhile, low-light photography or night photography is also decent. There is less noise and the photos come out clear and sharp. The 8 MP ultra-wise lens is fine but in our everyday use, we definitely missed a macro lens.

There are multiple useful modes in the camera such as Portrait, Pro, Night, Long Exposure, Slo-Mo, Movie, Pano, Time-Lapse, Dual-View Video, Doc-Scanner, Hi-res and Google lens.

It is also a good device for video recording with a 4K feature at 60fps. The EIS and OIS features are only available for 1080p video at 60 fps recording, so we mostly preferred recording at lower settings since without the OIS support the videos are often shaky.

The 16 MP front camera is decently programmed and does meet all front camera needs. It comes with many modes including Face Unlock, Photo, Video, Portrait, Night, Pano, Time-Lapse and Dual-View Video. You can also record quality 1080p video at 30 fps and 720p video at 30 fps.

OnePlus Nord 4 – Battery

OnePlus Nord 4 – Battery
  • 5,500mAh (Dual-cell)
  • 100W SuperVOOC (Included in the box)

The OnePlus Nord 4 features a massive 5500mAh battery capacity. While it is a good battery capacity to have on a mid-range phone, the highlight here 100W SUPERVOOC charge. The phone easily runs for a day and a half with moderate use. However, for those days when you might drain the battery with heavy usage, the 100W charging is a blessing.

The 100W charger adapter is provided in the box along with the phone and it easily boosts the power from under 10 per cent to 100 per cent in just about 30 to 35 minutes. Moreover, a quick 10-minute charge also gives a good boost by bringing the phone from 0 per cent to 50 per cent battery.

Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus Nord 4?

Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus Nord 4?
