\n\t\t\tGalaxy Z Fold 8’s runaway success just sparked Samsung’s boldest foldable move yet
\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\nThe 2027 lineup will reportedly include a wider Fold<\/p>\n
Onboard diagnostics<\/p>\n
One of the most useful features is the diagnostics tool. <\/p>\n
It can evaluate battery, charging, sensors, touch response, and connectivity and for any detected problems, either suggest a solution or put in a repair request.<\/p>\n
Requesting a repair books users an appointment at a Samsung-authorized service center or can initiate remote support right on the device itself. <\/p>\n
Bixby is integrated for a more chat-like way to guide users through resolving issues. <\/p>\n
The hub lets users know what to expect when it comes to repair costs. It displays estimated repair costs, both with and without Samsung Care+.<\/p>\n
While these features are now limited to Samsung\u2019s most recent foldables, they should roll out to more phones along with One UI 9. <\/p>\n
A return of familiar furry faces<\/p>\n
Samsung is telling people about this with some creatures that we last saw at Galaxy Unpacked: AI guinea pigs. <\/p>\n
After the event, the AI nature of the pigs was pilloried<\/a> as another unnecessary addition to AI slop in advertising. And yet they are back here, dropping phones down the steps of jets and trying to pull a Harry Potter on the platform at King\u2019s Cross Station and also manning Samsung repair shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung Galaxy owners just got an entire warranty and care hub that\u2019s very conveniently located right inside the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-597596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
