Although there are many conflicting reports, the Samsung Galaxy Edge series appears to have officially reached its end. However, this doesn’t mean Samsung is giving up on slim smartphones just yet. According to a new report, the company is now developing an even thinner flagship device. Here’s the full story.

Samsung “More Slim” Smartphone?

Earlier rumours had suggested that Samsung would replace the Galaxy S26 Plus with an S26 Edge. But subsequent leaks confirmed that the S26 Plus is still part of the lineup and that there won’t be an S26 Edge after all. This indicated that Samsung had discontinued the entire Edge series.

However, a fresh report from Dutch publication GalaxyClub reveals a new twist. The outlet claims that while the S26 Edge has indeed been cancelled and Samsung has shifted its focus to a new ultra-slim model, internally codenamed “More Slim.”

According to the report, Samsung has been working on this “More Slim” device for a few months. The project reportedly started later than the earlier S26 Edge development, suggesting it’s a new initiative rather than a reworked version of the cancelled phone.

What Can We Expect?

While technical details about the More Slim remain scarce, the name alone suggests it could be even thinner than the scrapped S26 Edge.

The codename “More Slim” also appears to be a direct evolution of the “Slim” codename used for the Galaxy S25 Edge. It suggests Samsung intends to refine and push the thin-design concept even further.

Samsung’s decision to make an even thinner device raises some questions. The Galaxy S25 Edge was already a premium-priced smartphone with notable compromises such as a dual-camera setup without a telephoto lens and a modest 3,900mAh battery.

Shrinking the form factor further would likely make it more expensive to produce. This could also make addressing previous concerns like battery capacity and endurance even more challenging.

Despite these hurdles, it seems Samsung has a clear strategy in mind for its next slim smartphone. While things are still under wraps, fans will have no other options but to wait for more details.

FAQs

Q1 . Is Samsung discontinuing the Galaxy Edge series?

Answer. Yes, reports confirm that Samsung has cancelled the Galaxy S26 Edge and ended the Edge series, shifting focus to a new ultra-thin flagship device.

Q2. What is the ‘More Slim’ smartphone Samsung is working on?

Answer. “More Slim” is the internal codename for a new ultra-thin flagship device reportedly in development, aiming to push Samsung’s slim design concept further than before.

Q3. Will the ‘More Slim’ Samsung phone face any design challenges?

Answer. Yes, making the device thinner could impact battery capacity and camera features, similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge which had a smaller battery and lacked a telephoto lens.

  • Instagram is testing a feature that lets users add or remove interest topics to fine-tune Reels and Explore feed recommendations.

Instagram has started testing a new feature that lets users personalise their algorithm-based recommendations by choosing or removing specific topics of interest. Here’s all we know about the new feature so far.

Instagram Tests ‘Tune Your Algorithm’ Feature

This new feature was announced by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri on Threads recently. As of now, it will be rolling out for Reels and will later expand to the Explore page.

Adam Mosseri described the new feature as a way for users to “tune their algorithm”, making Instagram’s recommendations more relevant and engaging.

Under the “Your Algorithm” section in the Settings menu, users can view and manage the topics that shape their recommendations. The section also provides a summary of their engagement trends.  In Mosseri’s example screenshot, topics like Luxury Watches, Fashion Week, Bad Bunny, Stand-up Comedy, and Concerts appeared as interests.

Users can easily add more topics they want to see by tapping the Add (+) button or removing categories they’re not interested in. However, this functionality will only be visible once the feature becomes available for an account.

Initially, the feature is being tested exclusively for Reels, allowing users to fine-tune video recommendations in their feed. Instagram plans to extend the option to the Explore tab later, followed by similar personalisation tools for Threads in the future.

More Control for Users

The “tune your algorithm” feature builds on Instagram’s broader push to enhance user control over content curation. The platform has previously introduced parental supervision tools, sensitive content filters, and refined content suggestions to promote a safer and more personalised user experience.

While Mosseri didn’t specify how many users are part of the testing phase or when a full rollout might happen, he encouraged those with early access to share feedback. This will help refine the feature before its wider release.

The new update aims to give users more control over what they see on the platform, aligning with Meta’s ongoing efforts to enhance customisation and transparency across its apps. The company recently introduced features that allow users to limit sensitive content and refine suggested posts.

FAQs

Q1. What is Instagram’s ‘Tune Your Algorithm’ feature?

Answer. It’s a new tool that lets users personalise their Reels and Explore feed by adding or removing interest topics, making recommendations more relevant.

Q2. Where can users access the algorithm tuning settings?

Answer. Users can find it under the “Your Algorithm” section in the Settings menu, where they can manage topics and view engagement trends.

Q3. Is the algorithm tuning feature available to all Instagram users?

Answer. Not yet. It’s currently being tested for Reels and will expand to Explore and Threads later. Availability depends on whether the feature is enabled for your account.

HMD Global appears to be working on yet another smartphone and its key specifications have just leaked online. Following the launch of an all-screen feature phone exclusive to India named HMD Touch 4G and ongoing rumours about the modular HMD Fusion 2, looks like we have a new HMD device. And leak hints at a premium mid-range offering in the works. Here’s what we know.

Upcoming Phone HMD – New Leak

According to a leak shared by HMD_MEME @smashx_60 on X (formerly Twitter), the upcoming HMD smartphone will sport an OLED display featuring a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. If accurate, this would make it only the second HMD device after the HMD Skyline to feature a 144Hz panel.

Along with the specs, the tipster also disclosed a codename or tagline.  The post reads HMD “Lord Chaos.”

In a new development, YouTube has announced a major AI-driven upgrade for its platform. The platform is introducing a new “Super Resolution” feature that will automatically upscale low-quality videos to higher resolutions. The company revealed this feature along with several other updates in a recent blog post.

YouTube’s AI-Powered Super Resolution Feature

With AI-based upscaling, YouTube will automatically generate higher-resolution versions of videos that were uploaded in less than 1080p. The platform’s ultimate goal is to support resolutions up to 4K, bringing sharper visuals and better viewing experiences even for older or lower-quality uploads.

According to YouTube, the Super Resolution process will be handled automatically, though creators will retain full control over their content. They’ll be able to opt out of the AI enhancement if they wish, and viewers will always have the option to watch the original resolution version of the video.

In an blog post, YouTube explained, “We’re also introducing a new AI-powered feature that automatically generates higher resolutions for videos. We’re starting with videos uploaded below 1080p, upscaling them from SD to HD, with the goal to support resolutions up to 4K in the near future. Creators will retain complete control over their library, as both original files and original video resolution will be kept intact, with a clear option to opt-out of these enhancements. And viewers will still be able to watch creators’ videos in the original uploaded resolution, as super resolution will be clearly labeled under settings.”

Other New YouTube Features

Alongside the AI upscaling feature, YouTube is also increasing the thumbnail upload limit from 2MB to 50MB. This will allow creators to use higher-quality thumbnails for their videos.

For viewers, YouTube is introducing “immersive previews” on the homepage. It is a feature similar to Netflix’s automatic previews. These previews will allow users to browse through channels more interactively while also improving content discovery and engagement.

Kurt Wilms, Senior Director of Product Management for YouTube on TV, wrote, “Viewers will be able to see and flip through their favorite YouTube channels with immersive previews on the homepage, enhancing content discovery and engagement.”

YouTube also shared a few additional updates for its TV experience including contextual search improvements that display results specifically from the channel you’re browsing. Moreover, videos featuring shopping links will now include a QR code for users to view and purchase products directly from their smartphones.

FAQs

Q1. What is YouTube’s new Super Resolution feature?

Answer. Super Resolution is an AI-powered tool that automatically upscales videos uploaded below 1080p to higher resolutions, with a future goal of supporting up to 4K. Creators can opt out, and viewers can still watch in the original resolution.

Q2. Can creators control how YouTube’s Super Resolution affects their videos?

Answer. Yes, creators retain full control. They can opt out of the AI enhancement, and both the original file and resolution remain available to viewers.

Q3. What other features has YouTube introduced recently?

Answer. YouTube has increased thumbnail upload limits to 50MB, added immersive homepage previews for better content discovery, and improved contextual search and shopping features on its TV platform.

Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer – Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “Our Electric Origin SUVs – XEV 9e and BE 6 have captivated our customers with their advanced technology and futuristic designs. We are delighted to partner with Samsung to bring yet another first-in-class feature – Digital Car key via Samsung wallet, ensuring every journey is even more seamless and convenient. This latest innovation again exemplifies Mahindra’s commitment to delivering an exceptional ownership experience with premium, intelligent electric SUVs for India.”

Globally, brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Hyundai already support Samsung Wallet’s car key feature, though availability varies by model and region.

Supported Galaxy Devices

The feature works with select flagship Galaxy smartphones equipped with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and NFC connectivity. Supported devices include the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S24, and Galaxy S23 series, as well as foldable models like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6.

Shareable Digital Keys

Users can share their digital car keys with family or friends for temporary access. The feature also allows users to restrict or revoke access anytime.

For added safety, the primary keyholder receives alerts whenever the vehicle is started, ensuring complete control.

Safety and Security

If a phone with a Digital Car Key is lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the device and erase all data, including the car key, using the Samsung Find service. The feature is secured by biometric or PIN authentication, ensuring that only authorised users can access the car.

Functionality During Low Battery

Even if the smartphone’s battery is completely drained, the Digital Car Key continues to function via NFC. Samsung says its latest Galaxy devices retain enough reserve battery power to keep NFC-based features active, ensuring drivers can always access their vehicles.

This new feature reinforces Samsung’s growing presence in the digital car key market. Competitors such as Google Wallet already offer similar functionality for brands such as Tesla, Volvo, and Polestar in select markets. With Mahindra’s addition, Samsung has expanded its reach into India’s rapidly evolving Electric Vehicle segment.

First launched in June 2022, Samsung Wallet allows users to securely store payment cards, government IDs, digital passes, and now, car keys, all in one app.

  • WhatsApp is developing a feature that lets all users set profile cover photos, previously exclusive to Business accounts similar to Facebook and LinkedIn.
  • Users will be able to choose who can view their cover photo with three visibility options mirroring existing profile settings.
  • The feature is currently in development and being tested on the Android beta version 2.25.32.2.

Meta-owned messaging app has been dedicated to expanding its profile customisation options, aiming to make personal profiles more expressive and engaging. In a new development, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to set profile cover photos. It is not something new as this feature was previously exclusive to WhatsApp Business accounts. The feature is currently in development and is expected to roll out in a future update. Here’s all we know about the feature so far.

All WhatsApp Users To Get Cover Photo Feature

According to a recent WABetaInfo report, the company is developing an option for users to upload a custom cover photo that will appear at the top of their profile. It is expected to be much like what users already see on Facebook and LinkedIn. Once introduced, users will be able to select a cover image directly from the profile settings section.

WABetaInfo has been a reliable WhatsApp feature tracker, which means we can trust this update.

The report also shared a screenshot showcasing what the cover photo selector interface might look like once implemented. Along with this, WhatsApp plans to include a privacy control setting to let users decide who can view their cover photo.

As per the report, the cover photo feature is being tested on WhatsApp beta version 2.25.32.2 for Android, which is currently rolling out to beta testers via the Google Play Beta Programme. However, the feature remains in development and is not yet available for beta users to access or use.

Cover Photo Privacy Options

The new privacy settings will mirror existing options available for Status and Profile Photos. It will have three visibility levels, which most likely will be –

  • Everyone – The cover photo will be visible to all WhatsApp users, even those not in your contacts.
  • My Contacts – Only users saved in your contact list will be able to view the cover image.
  • Nobody – The cover photo will be hidden from all users.

This ensures users have full control over their profile visibility while still enjoying the personalisation benefits.

Once the rollout begins, all WhatsApp users and not just business accounts will be able to set cover photos on their profiles.

Highlights

  • TRAI and DoT have approved the CNAP feature, which will show the verified name of incoming callers by default on all phones in India.
  • CNAP uses SIM registration data and bypasses third-party apps like Truecaller, while users can opt out by contacting their telecom provider.
  • It will be a supplementary service managed by telecom operators, not a standalone one.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has approved a new proposal from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) that will make it mandatory for the caller’s name to appear by default on the receiver’s phone screen during incoming calls.

The new feature is called Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) and it will use verified information collected during the SIM registration process. This will be offered as a supplementary telecom service. Here are more details on this development.

CNAP – Caller ID Feature for All Users

As per the latest update from TRAI, the CNAP feature will be enabled by default for all telecom subscribers in India. However, users who prefer not to use it can opt out by requesting their telecom service provider (TSP) to disable the feature.

Once implemented, CNAP will display the name and verified identity of the caller directly on the receiver’s phone screen, without relying on third-party apps like Truecaller.

This move aims to help users identify callers more accurately and make informed decisions about answering calls. TRAI believes this system will also play a significant role in reducing spam and fraudulent calls.

How the CNAP System Will Work?

Currently, Indian telecom networks only show the mobile or landline number of the caller, referred to as Calling Line Identification (CLI) with no existing mandate for CNAP. Under the new system, each access service provider will create and manage a Calling Name (CNAM) database, linking every subscriber’s verified name with their phone number.

When a call is received, the terminating network will query the Local Number Portability Database (LNPD) to determine which operator originated the call and fetch the corresponding name details from the CNAM database.

Tested for 4G and 5G Networks

Before the nationwide rollout, the DoT conducted pilot tests of the CNAP feature in select cities for 4G and 5G networks. The service was initially meant to be tested on both circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. However, operators encountered technical issues such as unavailable software patches and the need for infrastructure upgrades.

As a result, testing was limited to packet-switched networks.

Rollout and Availability

The CNAP feature will be offered as a supplementary service that operates in conjunction with basic telecom services and may be available across multiple service providers. However, TRAI clarified that CNAP will not be offered as a standalone feature.

This move marks a major step toward enhancing caller transparency and user safety in India’s telecom ecosystem. The new system could significantly reduce spam and scam calls, giving users more confidence in knowing exactly who is calling.

FAQs

Q1. What is CNAP and how will it benefit telecom users in India?

Answer. CNAP (Calling Name Presentation) is a new feature that displays the verified name of incoming callers by default, helping users identify calls and reduce spam or fraud.

Q2. Will CNAP replace third-party caller ID apps like Truecaller?

Answer. Yes, CNAP will function independently of third-party apps by using verified SIM registration data, offering a built-in caller name display managed by telecom operators.

Q3. Can users opt out of the CNAP feature?

Answer. Yes, while CNAP will be enabled by default for all subscribers, users can request their telecom service provider to disable it if they prefer not to use the feature.

The upcoming Google Pixel 10a has appeared in its first set of CAD-based renders. A recent Android Headlines repost in collaboration with @OnLeaks shared an early look at the company’s next mid-range smartphone in the Pixel 10 series. The renders hint at a design that closely resembles the Pixel 9a with a few minor refinements. Here’s more on that.

Google Pixel 10a – CAD Renders (Leaked)

The leaked renders showcase the Pixel 10a from multiple angles, revealing a flat plastic back panel and a dual-camera setup integrated into the horizontal camera bar. The design appears to be consistent with Google’s recent Pixel lineup. The back appears completely flat and seamless, while the bottom bezels seem slightly slimmer than before.

The phone’s front still features noticeably thick bezels. Google continues with its unconventional button layout, placing the volume rocker below the power button. This configuration is opposite to most Android phones.

The CAD renders also show antenna lines on all sides, along with a microphone hole both on the top and bottom. The bottom edge appears symmetrical with matching speaker and microphone cutouts, giving the phone a more balanced look.

Although the renders include a SIM card slot, it remains unclear if the final model will retain it, since such details are often placeholders in CAD designs.

Google Pixel 10a – What Else We Know?

According to earlier leaks, the Pixel 10a will be powered by the Tensor G4 chipset, the same processor found in the Pixel 9a, instead of the newer Tensor G5. The device will also continue using UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring solid performance for everyday tasks.

The display brightness is expected to reach 2,200 nits, a modest improvement over the 2,000 nits peak brightness on the Pixel 9a, making it easier to view in bright sunlight.

Interestingly, the Pixel 10a reportedly won’t include Magic Cue, Google’s on-device AI assistant designed for live contextual assistance during calls and chats. This feature remains exclusive to higher-end Pixel models.

Launch Timeline and Expected Price

The Google Pixel 10a is expected to debut in Q1 2026 and be priced around USD 500. These speculations are keeping things in line with previous Pixel “a” series devices. While not a radical redesign, the Pixel 10a appears to refine the Pixel 9a’s formula with brighter display performance and improved design symmetry.
