The Galaxy Ultra already had a scandalous screen. The Galaxy S26 Ultra directly changes the rules of the game

by

I don’t want to waste my time talking about seniority, but I’ve been dedicating myself to current technology and video games for more than a decade and I can say that, at this point, few things surprise me. There are evolutions and functions that are cool, but on very few occasions it is something groundbreaking. Then Samsung arrived with the screen of the Galaxy S26 Ultra and its privacy mode. And I tell you what it is one of those things that you have to see to believe. In the first impressions of all Samsung Galaxy S26 We have already told you the essentials. The South Korean company has put a lot of effort into providing its new models with artificial intelligence functions. According to their estimates, more than 80% of users see value in the features of AI and we have a call assistant to avoid the SPAM, agents who perform actions for usa photo editor to which we give commands with prompts and other functions that make more or less intense use of AI. However, what I have noticed the most is something done so that you do not ‘focus’ on the screen of the one next to you: the new privacy screen. It is a mix between software and software that is explained simply. Have you seen one of those tempered panels that are tinted so that they can only be seen from the front so that curious people can’t see anything? Well, that’s what the Galaxy S26 Ultra screen does. Yes with him S24 Ultra they introduced an anti-glare screen that worked very, very wellthey have now added another layer of technology and functionality. The operation is simple and has to do with the pixel matrix of the OLED panel. We have pixels that emit in a narrow spectrum and those that emit light in a wide spectrum. When privacy mode is not activated, the screen lights up all the pixels, allowing it to look great both from the front and at any angle. But, when we activate the new privacy mode, pixels that emit light in the wide spectrum are turned off. And that’s the trick. When that happens, as users, we notice that the brightness drops a little, but also that we can only see the screen if we are completely perpendicular. If we start to tilt the phone, we quickly lose the angle of vision to the point that at 30 degrees it is very difficult to see anything. In practice, whoever is next to you on the couch, on the train or on the bus, will not see anything at all on your screen. And this is great in terms of privacy, but also in terms of security. Because let’s see, you may be thinking that it is ideal so that no one sees your conversations. Telegram or a mischievous eye that tries to take a look at the gallery or the bank app. And yes, it’s useful for that, but also so that your PIN or important notifications don’t get caught. Because There are three ways to activate this mode: Activated at will in full screen. Activated when we run certain apps in full screen. Notifications only. For example, I don’t care if they see my Telegram, but I don’t care if they take a look at my photo gallery. So I can set it to turn on when I open the gallery and turn off when I exit. But, also, I can add another condition: When there is an app that asks for my PIN, it is automatically activated to hide the process. And the truth is that it works like a charm: it’s fast, transparent for the user once we configure it for the first time and… you don’t see anything, really. I know it sounds very “source: believe me”but in the photos and video above you can see it in operation. In addition, it is not tied to Samsung apps, but to anyone. And it also works with notifications, hiding only the notification bar at the top. Now, it has a catch. You may have noticed that I said “the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S26”, and there is a reason: It is a technology reserved for the most expensive model. We already saw this with the anti-reflective finish of the S24 Ultra and it is a decision that I understood. It is logical that manufacturers save exclusives for their most ambitious models. However, here we are no longer talking about a function to keep gossip away: we are talking about something focused on improving privacy and security. I think that little brothers should have it. What’s more, I think all brands should step up and copy this function. It’s going to make cell phones go up in price, yes, but the truth is that I prefer something like this to cell phones that are increasingly more and more powerful and with more and more –very expensive– RAM for AI functions. From now on, this Samsung ‘invention’ has become something to which I am going to pay close attention. And surely there is someone who doesn’t like anything: to manufacturers of tempered glass with privacy function. Because I have one from a very well-known brand and it works well, but it is a pain in many circumstances and, in addition, it interferes too much with the brightness sensor. That does not happen in this Samsung implementation.

a “galaxy” that never lit up

by

If a galaxy is, above all, a collection of stars, what do we do when we find something that looks like a galaxy, but doesn’t have one? That’s the question it poses. Cloud-9an object detected in the nearby cosmic environment that defies common definitions. There are no explosions or flashes, just a silent cloud whose existence invites us to look at the first steps of galactic formation in a different way. What the researchers have identified is a type of object that had been in the realm of theory for years. Cloud-9 fits into the category of so-called RELHICa primitive cloud of neutral hydrogen associated with a halo of dark matter that never became a galaxy. According to NASAit would be a vestige of the first stages of galactic formation, preserved to this day in the local universe. Hubble as definitive proof. The key to the discovery was not to find something new, but to confirm an absence with an unprecedented level of precision. Where radio telescopes had detected hydrogen, Hubble found no trace of stars, not even the faintest ones. That combination of data ruled out the hypothesis of a dim dwarf galaxy and placed Cloud-9 in a different category. “Seeing that there are no stars is what shows that the theory is correct,” said Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, principal investigator of the program. “It tells us that we have found in the local universe a primordial block that never formed.” Cloud-9 is located about 14 million light years from Earth, in the vicinity of the spiral galaxy Messier 94, with which it appears to maintain a physical relationship. Its structure is compact and almost spherical, a rare feature among known hydrogen clouds in the nearby environment. The core is made up of neutral hydrogen and has a diameter of approximately 4,900 light years. Radio measurements indicate a mass of gas equivalent to around a million suns and, from that gas and assuming that the pressure of the material itself compensates for the gravity of the halo, the team estimates that the associated dark matter would be around 5 billion solar masses. When dark matter is not enough. Cloud-9 fits into a scenario long anticipated by theory, but difficult to verify: structures dominated by dark matter that manage to retain gas without transforming it into stars. For researchers, this type of object acts as a missing link between cosmological simulations and the observable universe. The cloud illustrates that not all dark matter halos evolve into luminous galaxies. Some are trapped in an intermediate state, offering a direct window into the processes that regulate when and how star formation is triggered. The object first appeared three years ago in a hydrogen gas survey by the Chinese FAST radio telescope, as a discrete signal on the fringes of Messier 94. Subsequent observations with the Green Bank Telescope and the Very Large Array reinforced the detection, but did not resolve its nature. Detecting these types of systems is especially complex because nearby, luminous objects tend to eclipse them, and because clouds can lose gas as they move through intergalactic space, further reducing their visibility. In addition, high-resolution radio data show slight distortions in the gas, compatible with some type of interaction with the nearby galaxy. Between being born or disappearing. The authors of the study suggest that the fate of Cloud-9 is not closed. A sufficient increase in mass would upset the current balance and push the gas toward star formation, something that has not happened so far. But there is also the possibility that the environment works against you. The proximity to Messier 94 could favor processes that remove part of the gas, further reducing its ability to evolve. In that case, Cloud-9 would end up dissipating without ever becoming a proper galaxy. The finding has also raised caution among researchers outside the study. Jacco van Loon, an astrophysicist at Keele University, has pointed out that other hydrogen clouds initially considered dark ended up showing unexpected stellar populations. In his opinion, proving that an object is really a relic of dark matter requires evidence that is difficult to obtain even with Hubble. This caution marks the next step of the work: expanding the search and using higher resolution observations to confirm whether Cloud-9 is an isolated case or part of a broader population.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, first impressions. Samsung’s most ambitious leap in foldables has fine print

by

Imagine carrying a cell phone in your pocket that can transform into a 10-inch tablet when you fully deploy it. That is the promise of Samsung Galaxy Z TriFoldan idea that was already on the table and that really makes sense as soon as you have it in front of you. Closed, it behaves like a bar format phone with a 6.5-inch screen, something familiar and relatively comfortable, but just start opening it to understand that the South Korean company wanted to go one step further. I think it’s not just about gaining inches, but about materializing a complex idea. After the initial impact, my first reading of the Galaxy Z TriFold is that of a device that surprises with its degree of maturity within a still young category. It is noticeable that Samsung has focused on the solidity of the whole, on how the pieces are assembled and on conveying a certain confidence when handling it, something that, as my colleague Javier Lacort commented in 2024, has not always been evident. Before moving forward, it is worth remembering that we are dealing with first impressions, they are clear sensations, open questions, but without a thorough approval in search of definitive conclusions. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold technical sheet Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold dimensions and weight Folded: 159.2 x 75.0 x 12.9 mm Unfolded: 159.2 x 214.1 x 3.9 mm (screen with SIM tray) / 4.2 mm (center screen) / 4.0 mm (screen with side button) 309 grams indoor screen Dynamic AMOLED 2X 10 inches 2160×1584 269 ​​ppi 1600 nits peak brightness 120Hz (adaptive) outdoor screen Dynamic AMOLED 2X 6.5 inches 2520 x 1080, 21:9 422 ppi 2600 nits peak brightness 120 Hz (adaptive) processor Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm) memory and storage 16 GB of memory with 1 TB of internal storage 16 GB of memory with 512 GB of internal storage Not compatible with microSD rear camera 12 MP Ultra Wide Angle, Dual Pixel AF, F2.2, 1.4 μm, 120° 200 MP wide angle, autofocus, OIS, F1.7, 85˚, 2x optical quality zoom 10 MP PDAF telephoto, OIS, F2.4, 1.0 μm, 36˚, 3x optical zoom, up to 30x digital zoom front camera 10 MP F2.2, 1.12 μm, 85˚ selfie (outdoor screen) 10 MP F2.2, 1.12 μm, 100˚ selfie (indoor screen) battery and charging 5,600 mAh QC2.0 and AFC connectivity 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 operating system Android 16 One UI 8 others IP48 resistance price From 3,594,000 won The promise of a 10-inch tablet, and the price you pay for it To fully understand what this Galaxy Z TriFold proposes, we must stop at its physical approach. We are not looking at a conventional folding device, but rather a device with three panels and two folds that only supports two real ways of use: closed, like a phone, or completely open, “like a 10-inch tablet.” Unlike the approach we have seen in the Huawei Matewhere it is possible to use the device partially deployed with two active panels, there is no middle ground here. When you use it unfolded and the interior screen becomes the center of the experience, the TriFold begins to justify its approach. We are talking about a 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 2160 x 1584 resolution, 120 Hz and a density of 269 ppi, figures that explain why it feels so visually solid indoors. My contact with the device has been in the Samsung offices, in the evening and with artificial light, and in that context the experience has been excellent, with vivid colors and constant fluidity. It is true that the maximum brightness of the interior panel is 1600 nits, compared to 2600 nits for the exterior screen, but I have not had the opportunity to test it outdoors. When you leave content consumption, the TriFold lets itself be loved in multitasking scenarios. The screen offers real margin to maintain multiple applications open at the same time without the experience feeling limited, something that marks a distance from smaller folding products. Everything is more comfortable and less compressed, and the whole thing conveys a sense of order that is appreciated. It also seems relevant to me that it allows executing Samsung DeX directly on the screen itself, without an external monitor, because it reinforces your productivity focus. Now, in the hand, the Galaxy Z TriFold makes it clear from the first moment that it is not a light or discreet device when closed. With its 309 grams and a thickness of 12.9 mm when folded, it feels powerful, even more than one would expect when reading the technical sheet. That said, it is also worth putting it in perspective, because in numbers it does not go to the most extreme part of what we have seen in first generation folding devices. Opened, the perception changes noticeably, the weight is better distributed and the whole is surprisingly manageable for a 10-inch screen. One of the elements that caught my attention during the test was the way in which the TriFold manages its own folding. It is not just a question of hinges, but of how the device conditions the user’s gesture to protect itself. The route is clearly defined and if you try to close it incorrectly, the phone responds with a vibration and a warning on the screen that tells you not to continue there, something that reinforces the feeling of being in front of a product designed to avoid errors. Although the interior screen is the TriFold’s great attraction, it is also its most delicate part. When unfolded, the two folds are there and are part of the experience, although not in an intrusive way. It is not something that is constantly obvious and, in many moments, you can forget about them, but when you change the angle or the light hits it in a certain way they appear. In my case, for years the folds have bothered me a lot in folding ones, but over time I have learned to … Read more

a supermassive black hole ejected from its galaxy at 3.4 million km/h

by

Until now, we thought about supermassive black holes like the immovable anchors of galaxies, being gravitational giants that keep everything in order from the center. But we were quite wrong, since the James Webb Space Telescope us has confirmed that, sometimes, these anchors break and are shot through intergalactic space as if they were real gun bullets. The study. A team led by astronomer Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University has presented the first observational confirmation of a wandering supermassive black hole. It is called RBH-1 and its existence is the result of one of the most violent events that physics allows: being “kicked” out of your home by gravitational waves. A scar. Detecting this is not easy, since black holes They cannot be seen with the naked eye, but the destruction they leave in their wake is analyzed. This is precisely what JWST saw when it detected a massive linear structure about 200,000 light years long (twice the diameter of the Milky Way), which connects a distant galaxy with a bright, fuzzy spot. After trying to analyze this destruction in more detail, the telescope itself has revealed that it is a discontinuity. In layman’s terms: there is something extremely massive moving at an absurd speed of 954 km/s, which is equivalent to 3.4 million kilometers per hour. A speed that would allow us to travel from the Earth to the Moon in less than seven minutes. How do we know? The question in this case seems obligatory: How do we know that it is a black hole and not a simple star formation? The answer lies in everything it leaves in its wake, since by moving at this type of high speed, the black hole It compresses the gas so violently that it generates a trail of hot plasma that can be measured, as well as the formation of new stars. And now science has been able to confirm that this gas is not heated by the light emitted by stars, but by the brutal collision of a target that has at least 10 million times the mass of the Sun. Why is he running away? The theory behind this phenomenon is not new, but has been predicted by general relativity for 50 years. But in order to understand what has happened here, we can see it in three different steps: The first thing that happened was the merger of two galaxies and their respective supermassive black holes that began to orbit each other. After this, a third galaxy arrives to join this party and its black hole interacts with the binary system formed before. Finally, a cosmic “kick” is given. In this case, the interaction of three bodies generates a great asymmetry in the gravitational waves that results in a black hole shooting out of the galaxy at a high speed. It’s not the first. We already knew about wandering “stellar mass” black holes (a few times the mass of the Sun) roaming our own Milky Way, detected by gravitational microlensing effects by Hubble or the Gaia mission. However, finding a supermassive, what is the type of object that usually lives in the heart of galaxies, is a milestone on a different scale. Why this matters. The confirmation of RBH-1 is not a simple curiosity for physicists, but validates models of galactic evolution that suggest that the universe is full of these ‘exiles’. And this shows that if supermassive black holes can be ejected so easily, it means that many galaxies could be “orphaned” of their central core, affecting how they grow and form stars.

New Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, features, price and technical sheet

by

Do you have the feeling that mobile phones are too similar to each other? You are not the only one. After so many continuous generations, it is normal that it is difficult to find something that truly surprises. And just when many they start looking at the folding ones, a world in which Apple has not yet landeda format appears that wants to go one step further. The triple foldables are already circulating. We are not talking about mobile phones that fold in two, but in three, and that when unfolded become a device that is almost the size of a “tablet”. It is a striking movement at a time when much of the sector assumed that innovation was advancing with the brakes on. Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold technical sheet Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold dimensions and weight Folded: 159.2 x 75.0 x 12.9 mm Unfolded: 159.2 x 214.1 x 3.9 mm* (screen with SIM tray) / 4.2 mm (center screen) / 4.0 mm (screen with side button) 309 grams indoor screen Dynamic AMOLED 2X 10 inches 2160×1584 269 ​​ppi 1600 nits peak brightness 120Hz (adaptive) outdoor screen Dynamic AMOLED 2X 6.5 inches 2520 x 1080, 21:9 422 ppi 2600 nits peak brightness 120 Hz (adaptive) processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy (3nm) memory and storage 16 GB of memory with 1 TB of internal storage 16 GB of memory with 512 GB of internal storage Not compatible with microSD rear camera 200 MP wide angle, autofocus, OIS, F1.7, 85˚, 2x optical quality zoom 10 MP PDAF telephoto, OIS, F2.4, 1.0 μm, 36˚, 3x optical zoom, up to 30x digital zoom front camera 10 MP F2.2, 1.12 μm, 85˚ selfie (outdoor screen) 10 MP F2.2, 1.12 μm, 100˚ selfie (indoor screen) battery and charging 5,600 mAh QC2.0 and AFC connectivity 5G LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 operating system Android 16 One UI 8 others IP48 resistance price From 3,594,000 won (2,105 euros at the exchange rate) Samsung enters the triple-folding format with a proposal that does not go unnoticed At the end of the first quarter of this year we learned about the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Designhe first triple folding that actually reached the market. And after the move of the Chinese manufacturer, it is South Korea’s turn. Samsung prepares its entry into this new format with the Galaxy Z TriFolda bet that aims directly at an emerging niche. The Galaxy Z TriFold opens a new step within Samsung’s folding family by incorporating a double-folding system that gives way to a 10-inch screen. It is an approach that seeks to balance two worlds: that of a premium, thin and transportable mobile, and that of a device capable of offering a much larger viewing area when the situation requires it. Samsung uses two hinges of different sizes with a double rail system to ensure uniform movement when opening and closing the device. The frame combines titanium and aluminum, materials found in the brand’s most advanced folding products, while the back uses a reinforced polymer capable of reducing the risk of cracks. The set is completed with an internal distribution that distributes the battery 5,600 mAh in three cells to balance power delivery and maintain a slim profile. If we talk about the screen we find that it supports three applications vertically and allows them to be rearranged relatively quickly, although the experience varies depending on what software is used. DeX It arrives in a standalone format and adds several desktops, as well as compatibility with external monitors, keyboard and mouse. It is not a replacement for a laptop, but it can be an additional resource for those who work with notes, emails or documents. The TriFold audiovisual experience is supported by a large panel and a brightness level that reaches 1600 nits. The variable 120Hz refresh rate, meanwhile, should contribute to smooth video playback and scrolling, and Vision Booster adjusts contrast and color according to the ambient light. The YouTube interface allows you to keep the video on one side and the comments on the other, making better use of the available space. Samsung talks about a minimized fold, although it is still an element present in this type of screen. The announcement of the TriFold occurs with an eye on the movement that Apple is apparently preparing for next fall, if it comes true what Bloomberg advances. The publication maintains that the company is working on a folding book whose launch would be scheduled for that date, although for now there are no official details. Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold price and availability The brand has confirmed its launch in Korea and in markets such as China, Taiwan, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the United States, accompanied by six months of Google AI Pro and a specific discount on screen repairs. The price in the brand’s native country starts at 3,594,000 Korean wonwhich translates into some 2,105 euros at the exchange rate. Now, we should not pay too much attention to direct currency conversion and the most prudent thing would be to wait for the official price of our target market. If we focus on Europe, the situation remains unclear. Samsung’s official announcement does not include specific information for the region and the company has not communicated a second launch phase either. This leaves the continent in a holding pattern, especially considering that the TriFold will be distributed in limited quantities. With this approach, it is not strange that Samsung prioritizes other markets in the first wave, but the total absence of details means that, for now, European availability is a pending point.
