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.

Mercadona and the white label had been setting the course for supermarkets in Spain for years. Until the “ultra low cost” arrived

by

When we Spaniards go out shopping we value above all two factors. The first, proximity. The second, the price. Even above the quality. It is not at all surprising if we take into account that we come from a inflationary crisis and there are items of common consumption (cocoa, coffee either eggs) who have experienced a real storm in recent months. The chains know how much they are risking with each euro and have acted accordingly. For example with a bet on the white label that has been especially good to Mercadona. There is, however, another strategy that has been gradually making its way into the world. retail Spanish, one also focused on prices, but that does not rely on white label or short assortment: supermarkets “ultra low cost“. “Ultra low cost“? Exact. It sounds somewhat far-fetched (almost, almost cacophonous) but that is the label that best defines certain supermarket chains that have focused their strategy basically on product discounts. double digit. After years of inflation and with costs becoming a decisive factor When families decide where to shop, most chains try (to a greater or lesser extent) to be competitive in prices. In fact in the rankings Cheaper stores usually include brands such as Alcampo, Family Cash or Aldi. In the case of super “ultra low cost“The price is, however, more than just a front on which to compete. It represents the great differentiating factor. And it is to such an extent that it conditions the approach, the offer and the way the chain operates. In a recent article, Five Days reviewed the billing data of two relatively young firms that fit this pattern: Sqrups and Primaprix. What differentiates them? That in a sector (that of supermarkets) in which it seemed that everything had been said, with Mercadona expanding your domain and the white label gaining market sharethe “ultra” chains low cost“have found an alternative path of growth. Their strategy involves offering items from recognized brands (nothing from Hacendado, Deliplus, Auchan or similar), but with surprisingly low prices. As an example, Sqrups boasts of offering its customers “significant discounts” that move between 30 and 80%. How do they work the miracle? With your business model. More like its supply model. Unlike most supermarket chains, they supply surpluses that are left ‘off the hook’ or have no place on the shelves of companies such as Carrefour, Eroski, Mercadona or Hipercor, among others. These are surplus stocks, items that do not quite work, merchandise that has been left out of the circuit due to a change in packaging or not meeting presentation standards… In short, items in good condition that manufacturers need to liquidate and cannot (or want) to distribute through ‘conventional’ chains. Their destination ends up being Sgrups or Primaprix, where they add to a catalog marked by rotation, speed and discounts. But… How do they do it? “Large international brands usually have surplus stocks in their warehouses, left over from promotions (Christmas, summer, events…), from new launches or simply products with a much lower price in one country than in another. At Primaprix we travel throughout Europe hunting for these opportunities,” details the companywho remembers that he opened his first store in Madrid in 2015 and in just ten years he has built a network of 260. Sgrups’ explanation is similar. “We recover products that, under normal conditions, distribution throws away,” clarifies its general directorRaúl Espinosa, who boasts that thanks to its discounts the chain sells products with prices much lower (50-80%) than those on the market. The company ensures that its assortment comes from three sources: “production surpluses, image changes and quality control.” It also incorporates “short-dated” products. “In the last year we have rescued more than 26 million products, preventing them from being destroyed and giving them a second chance for consumption,” the company specifiesborn ago just over a decade and that works with food, but also drugstores, stationery and hygiene items. The big question: why? Because this formula has allowed them to connect with a part of the market and expand in a sector, that of retail Spanish, in which a small number of brands have been expanding their dominance. “Companies like Sqrups or Primaprix break the differentiation with the rest of the operators thanks to this supply model,” explains to Five Days Javier Pérez de Leza, good knowledge of the sector. “Mercadona, Lidl or Aldi have dedicated themselves to a type of discount that leaves room below, because the price trend is upward. You can be much cheaper than all of them, although with risks.” What risks? One (fundamental) is the pressure that operators in the sector can exert to reduce the surpluses that these chains feed on, although it is not the only limit that the model of companies like Primaprix faces. Relying on stocks makes it very difficult to guarantee the continuity of an ever-changing assortment. Furthermore, the fact that customers encounter different products every so often may increase their interest in visiting stores but also complicates such basic issues as logistics. What do your accounts say? That neither of the two chains are doing badly at all. Primaprix data we know them also thanks to Five Dayswhich a few days ago revealed that during the 2024 financial year the company had a turnover of 347 million euros. Maybe it’s far from billions from Mercadona, but it represents a year-on-year growth of 24%. If we look further back, the company’s sales quadrupled between 2020 and 2024, a period during which it went from managing 110 stores to 245. Now it is on its way to 300 establishments. The key: your business modelwhich is nourished by the surpluses accumulated in the warehouses of large manufacturers. Your catalog is completed with purchases you make in other countries, looking at prices, discarded items despite being completely suitable for consumption, or products that will expire soon. A bet not very different from what fashion or furniture outlets have been making for years. They are merchandise (many … Read more

The POCO F8 Pro and F8 Ultra are a great change of direction for the brand. We spoke with POCO to find out what awaits us now

by

POCO launched two new devices a few days ago that mark a change of direction in its strategy: the F8 Pro and the F8Ultra. The latter represents the Chinese brand’s most ambitious commitment to enter the premium segment, just eight months after the launch of the F7 Ultra in March. As we shared a few days ago, we had the opportunity to analyze it in depth, but we were also able to have a chat with Kang Lou, head of product marketing and spokesperson for POCO Global, and Stanley Yeh, chief audio engineer, at a press conference during the launch event in Bali. Both managers gave us very interesting clues about the future of the brand, which is at its best, proof that its strategy continues to work. A change of strategy. For seven years, POCO has focused exclusively on delivering the best performance at the most competitive price possible. “When POCO was created seven years ago we always focused on one thing: performance,” Lou explained. But now things have changed. “Since the beginning of this year, with the F7 Ultra in March, we started testing the premium market. To do so, we tried to elevate the overall user experience, not just the performance. We want our users to experience good features regardless of whether we are talking about camera, battery or any other feature.” POCO F8 Pro Collaboration with Bose. One of the great novelties of the F8 Ultra is its 2.1 audio system developed in collaboration with Bose. “In the past we usually ignored the audio area. This time we collaborated with Bose because we want a mobile phone to come close to producing the real sound that humans actually hear. We worked with Bose to redesign the entire audio system, both in software and hardware,” said Yeh. Why Bose and not another brand? Asked why they specifically chose Bose out of all the audio brands available, Yeh said, “Bass is quite important for what humans actually hear. Bose has experience in those areas and they also have a lot of patents and technology for small speakers to produce big or deep bass.” In addition, he noted that “Bose has a lot of experience in psychoacoustics, about what good sound is and what kind of sound small speakers can produce.” Qaggressive tough. One of the most recurring questions in the room was how POCO can maintain such competitive prices. Lou responded by explaining that “that’s our biggest strength as a brand. We try to reduce our price as much as possible while maintaining low margins because we really do work on low margins.” LITTLE F8 Ultra Lou further added that “POCO saves a lot of costs because we only focus on online. We don’t have the retail costs, which are a large proportion when we talk about those prices.” Furthermore, regarding the Pro model, he clarified that “we can save costs because we are using the chipset that was launched a year ago. And fortunately, we are in a market where a chipset from a year ago is still very, very capable for common use and for any type of game or intensive use.” Jeans on the back. The F8 Ultra stands out for its rear finish that imitates the texture of jeans, a design decision that especially caught our attention, as did the rest of the attendees. “We wanted something really outstanding, something that when you see it for the first time you fall in love. You feel, ‘oh, there’s something different, something quite cool, something memorable,’” Lou explained. Although he clarified that “it’s not actually denim, it’s not jeans at all. It’s a completely different material made of silicone. We chose it because it’s very durable and at the same time very comfortable to the touch.” In recent years, POCO has been characterized, in part, by targeting a more youthful audience and by devices with yellow finishes. The absence of this color in the F8 Ultra has also been noted. Lou clarified that “we don’t actually stick to the iconic yellow for every phone we make. We just change the overall design language a little bit depending on the product positioning.” Although Lou assured that there are no established plans to make denim a permanent distinctive element. “If it’s something our users want in the future on other devices or accessories, we’ll try to make the effort.” The POCOs have less battery than the Redmi K90. The POCO F8 family is based on the Redmi K90which are sold in Asia. The K90 and K90 Pro Max have batteries greater than 7,000 mAh, but this battery capacity does not carry over to the POCO in Europe. Lou explained that this is “mainly for transportation reasons, but not only that. Many of our third-party partners have warehouses in local markets and those warehouses have to be certified to store batteries up to a certain capacity. In order for everyone to partner with us and get our devices, we have a limit in place.” The camera, that great pending task. Regarding possible collaborations in the future, especially in the photographic section, Lou clarified that “we have a strong cooperation with Bose and some other leading technologies in terms of camera. We are always trying to improve the camera experience compared to what we have today. If we can have more collaborations in terms of camera to strengthen the entire future experience, of course we will. But at the moment we do not have any collaboration in that sense.” The firm also does not have a large arsenal of accessories under its POCO brand, and perhaps this can be a very lucrative aspect for the brand. At the moment they do not have a roadmap in mind, so we will have to wait to find out more details in this regard. What’s coming now. POCO is at a critical moment. After seven years building a solid reputation under the “value for money” label, the brand is now trying to … Read more

Samsung has been gradually shaping its super high-end range for years. And the result is the triumph of the S25 Ultra for another year

by

The verdict of the jury of the Xataka NordVPN Awards 2025 has been clear. In a year where competition has been fierce in the premium segment, with Apple renewing its commitment to iPhone 17 and Chinese brands like Alive or Oppo pushing the limits of photography, there has been a traditional winner: The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has won gold in the most coveted category. Prima facie, may seem like a conservative decision. And the Galaxy S25 Ultra is not a disruptive mobile; It doesn’t make a huge leap in performance or photography. However, his victory responds to a reality that we verified during our analysis: a perfect balance. It is not a victory resulting from chance or a specific success, but the culmination of a strategy that the Korean firm began five years ago. While other manufacturers lurched in search of wow effect every twelve months (and even less), Samsung decided that its ‘Ultra’ surname already had a defined identity: the super high-end customer is not looking for experiments—faster charges, sensors with better numbers, higher capacity batteries—but rather certainties. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has not reinvented the wheel, but has made it roll better than anyone else: these are the technical and experience reasons that make it the king of 2025. Something with which I can’t agree more. When the screen matters (and a lot) If you have used a Galaxy S24 Ultrayou know the pain. Those rectangular corners that dug into the palm of the hand were the price to pay for having the largest and most spectacular screen. With the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung has smoothed over that roughness. It’s not just that the corners have been softened: it’s that the phone has lost a few grams. It may seem like a smaller figure on paper, but in the hand, the difference between one and the other is very noticeable. Maintaining the 6.9-inch screen and 5,000 mAh battery while reducing weight (and a little thickness) is the kind of change that justifies the award. Of course, perhaps after saying goodbye to those corners he has lost one of his identifying marks at first glance: now he looks like the rest of his younger brothers. That does not mean that it is at this point that the maturity of the concept is appreciated: it took Samsung years to correct the course from those curved screens, beautiful, but not entirely comfortable. The S25 Ultra is the recognition that usability must come before pretty aesthetics, even in the premium segment. And if that means sacrificing the visual identity of the extinct ‘Note’ in favor of ergonomics, then too. On the other hand, the anti-reflective treatment of its predecessor already seemed like a game changer. This year, it is maintained, and its screen is also improved with more mature brightness management. They are one of those small details that matter: I don’t need 6,000 nits if I have a panel that eliminates reflections and it offers me very pure blacks in broad daylight. This panel does not seek to win on the technical sheet, but on experience. And there is a technical detail that we often overlook but that makes a difference in everyday life: visual fatigue. Although Samsung remains conservative with PWM Dimming (492 Hz vs. 2,000+ Hz for the Chinese competition), the panel calibration and automatic brightness management in One UI have reached an exquisite point. Let’s not forget that we still have a real Quad HD+ resolutionsomething that many rivals they have sacrificed dropping to 1.5K to save battery or increase the refresh rate. Samsung has not made that sacrifice, and it is appreciated. Power without anxiety and mature chambers It was easy for Samsung to deliver high-end performance: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has given way to a Snapdragon 8 Elite who plays in another league. Although in synthetic stress tests the mobile can suffer considerable throttling, in real use – editing video or playing demanding titles like ‘Genshin Impact’ – this drop in theoretical performance is imperceptible. Samsung has prioritized system stability over raw benchmark numbers: I confirm that it is the right decision for a productivity device. My biggest fear was that the power of the new chip would eat up the battery, the reality has been the opposite. Getting to the end of the day with half the battery is possible: Samsung has shown that optimization can improve autonomy. Now, it goes without saying that to continue winning our super high-end award, the South Korean will have to join the new trend in batteries: those of silicon-carbon. This year it has not been, but next 2026 forces Samsung to take the leap that other manufacturers are experiencing. And what if it becomes notable: mobile phones with 7,000 mAh batteries and more are flooding the Android market. In the photographic field, this is where the philosophy of refinement is most noticeable. Do you miss a radical change in camera hardware? Sometimes, although if you value consistency more, not so much. The Galaxy S25 Ultra solved the Achilles heel of its predecessor: the ultra wide angle. By raising the resolution to 50 MP with a new sensor, this camera finally does not clash with the rest. Furthermore, the recording in LOG and AI noise removal are quite useful tools for content creators. An aspect in which it approaches the high level of the iPhone in video recording. No, it is not the most exciting camera of the year, but it is one of the few that does not leave you lying around: whatever photo you want to take, it offers very consistent results. Samsung has got the point of its photography. A software to match Finally, part of the prize is also for the Android software: Gone are the days of Touchwiz as well as the first versions of One UI that did not achieve the promised user experience. One UI 7 has turned AI from a curiosity into a complete tool suite; and in … Read more

The Nubia Z80 Ultra is not only a beast with 7,200 mAh battery. It also has a photography kit that transforms it into a camera

by

Nubia does not fail its annual event and has just announced its new high-end, the Nubia Z80 Ultra. The ZTE subsidiary follows in the footsteps of the Nubia Z70 Ultra and opts for a technical sheet that practically has no room for more cutting-edge features. Furthermore, this year they are jumping on the bandwagon of photographic mobiles with a kit that transforms it into a retro camera. Let’s see everything it offers.

ZTE Axon 20. It has already become a hallmark of its high-end range and in its Nubia range it was not going to be any less. Thanks to this, The front of the phone is all screen, specifically a 6.85-inch panel with brightness of up to 2,000 nits and a refresh rate of 144Hz. In addition to the front camera, the screen also hides a fingerprint reader. When we turn it over we find its other hallmark, the camera module that resembles the appearance of a retro camera. It is rectangular and occupies the entire width of the phone. Furthermore, unlike other cameras that usually place the sensors together in a square or circular arrangement, here we have the main sensor that stands out from the rest, with the telephoto one below and the angular one further to the right. All three sensors are OmniVision. The main one, 50 megapixels, is the largest, brightest and has an optical stabilizer. The wide angle also offers the same resolution, but the sensor is smaller and the lens is not as bright. Finally, the telephoto lens has 64 megapixels of resolution and also has an optical stabilizer. The photographic kit. Speaking of cameras, the Nubia Z80 Ultra comes with a photography kit sold separately and consists of a housing to which we can attach an external telephoto lens. The housing has controls on the top that make it almost a compact camera. No details have been given about the telephoto lens, but it is very reminiscent of the Vivo X300. The latest from Qualcomm and battery for a while Under the hood of the Nubia Z80 Ultra we find the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 which Qualcomm announced just a month ago. In addition to the most advanced chip, it also has 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and storage up to 1TB UFS4.1. Comes standard with the cape Nebula AI OS 2.0 based on Android 16. For the battery, it is surprising that the new model shares almost the same dimensions and weight as the previous one, but its battery is much larger.

Versions and prices of the Nubia Z80 Ultra The Nubia Z80 Ultra goes on sale in Spain on November 6 and will arrive in several versions depending on color and memory. In addition to the black and white versions, Nubia repeats one more year and brings a ‘Starry Night’ version, decorated with a drawing reminiscent of the well-known work of Van Gogh. At the moment, they have not revealed the prices for Spain, but we will update as soon as they are confirmed. The versions that will go on sale are these: 12+256GB: black. 16+512GB: black, white and ‘Starry Night’. 16+1TB: black.

Barcelona has unseated Geneva or Vienna as a home for the ultra -ups

by

Barcelona is consolidated among the most attractive cities in Europe For great fortunes Thanks to its balance between high -end services and urban quality of life. Beyond Tourist attraction From the city, or its temperate climate, the city appears in different international rankings as one of the favorite enclaves for those known as UHNWI (Ultra High Net Worth Individuals) or people with a equity available to invest of more than 30 million dollars. Barcelona in the world elite of wealth. The report ‘Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report 2025’ prepared by the Swiss private bank Julius Baerit positions Barcelona as the seventh favorite European city for the ultra -ups. This ranking, which evaluates the prices and qualities of goods and services for people of high purchasing power, concludes that Barcelona appears in front of cities such as Amsterdam, Geneva or Vienna in the European classification, although it remains behind London, Monaco, Zurich, Milan, Frankfurt and Paris. Within the same report, the global position is analyzed, where the list places Barcelona in the fifteenth position, behind cities such as Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, New York or Miami. In this section, the ranking is headed by Singapore, closely followed by Hong Kong and London. The position of Barcelona shows the importance that the Catalan capital is achieving for the great fortunes and an attractive destination for investments and luxury tourism In southern Europe. The attractiveness of Barcelona. The bank’s entity’s report indicates various reasons why Barcelona stands out as a destination for the ultra -ups against other European capitals. Among them, curiously, the efficiency of the public bicycle system, health care, gyms offer, access to toe technology and competitive prices in jewelry and Luxury hotel suites. This combination of healthy urban life and access to exclusive products and services with moderate costs is very attractive for the great fortunes and expatriates of high purchasing power. Internationally, the city also stands out in the collection of foreign investment, especially in the high -end real estate sector. Between 2015 and 2024, Barcelona has received more than 5.5 billion euros of international investors In the technological sectorplacing itself as the fifth startup ecosystem of the European Union. “The city generates confidence in the international sphere,” declared to NBPÀngels Santigosa, head of the Department of Studies of the Management of Economy, Resources and Economic Promotion of the Barcelona City Council. Caro even for millionaires. However, the Swiss entity that has prepared the report considers that Barcelona still has a margin of improvement in certain areas.

What do we hope to see in the most “ultra” event of summer

by

It is official. Samsung will present new devices from his Galaxy family on July 9. The company He has revealed the date of his next UNPACKEDwith a word as the protagonist: Ultra. This surname, historically reserved for his Galaxy S family, aims to land in a segment that until now seemed premium enough: the folding. This is all we hope to see in the next event of the South Korean giant. When and where. July 9, Wednesday, at 4:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular. Through the Official Samsung page and his Official YouTube channelwe can continue live the presentation event of the new devices of his Galaxy family. The event will be held in Brooklyn, United States, and will be broadcast in streaming so you can follow it from anywhere in the world, as usual in the company’s events. What is expected. From a while to this part Samsung invites us to celebrate two unpacked events. The first, at the beginning of the year, is the launch of its Galaxy s. The second is reserved to announce folding mobiles. Announced the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z fold6 Last summer, we expect a renewal of both models: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 (Ultra?) Accompanying them, although with doubts on the horizon, we may have News about One UI 8. The key is that Samsung wanted Chivar that something in the event will be … The great track that Samsung gives: a much thinner galaxy z fold. Ultra. The company has not officially confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 ultrabut it is an open secret. Samsung is expected to take a jump with its folding mobiles and take them to the level of its range S ultra. Until now, the Z Fold and Z Flip have always had photographic systems below their brothers S. This may change this generation … or not. At the moment, the only thing we think is that the Z FOLD7 will be much thinner, as the company has seen. There is no news about the possible price increase that would lead to making a relevant leap in Specs on devices that were already premium. Taking into account that folding mobiles are a niche product, it is not something especially relevant. Samsung needs to keep your crown. Until recently, Samsung had barely competition in folding. But now they compete giants such as Xiaomi, Motorola, Huawei and Honor, with a view to applying their first folding in 2026. The data speak for themselves: Samsung’s growth in folding is being negativeand the thrust of Huawei in China has led him to snatch the crown. Samsung’s philosophy with its folding has been to launch a refined and continuous product, but its rivals begin to push it by overcoming it in basic aspects such as that of the folding or external screen itself. A thrust product. In a more global view, Samsung remains undisputed leader in smartphone territory, But its growth is very, very content. A global 1% year -on -year at the close of the first quarter of 2025, compared to 13% of Apple, 3% of Xiaomi and 7% live. The market barely grows and will continue to be according to predictions, but Samsung is still searching for that disruptive mobile that helps boost sales, such as showed with the Galaxy S25 Edge.
