Welcome to a new newsletter, with a bit of a new direction. While our mid-week edition tackles news specifics, this end-of-the-week missive combines the biggest news with more context, more things to read and watch, recommendations, easter eggs, inside baseball and stuff that interests our readers, alongside the breaking news, reviews and features you expect from Engadget. Wed love your feedback on what youd like to see covered in these meatier editions hit me up at tma(at)engadget.com. Luckily for me, we kick things off with Samsungs big Unpacked event, launching three new phones and teasing two yes, two! more coming soon. Everything Samsung announced, including prices and launch dates (February 8 Ill save you a click), we collated here, but it was largely a fallow year for Galaxy S hardware, barring a substantially more powerful chip. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra et al. might not thrill, Samsung managed to breadcrumb several devices with no launch date. First, at its San Jose event, the company revealed its mixed reality headset in person, finally even if it was just a functionless headset for photos and gawping at. Then there was the Galaxy S25 Edge a device I didnt think existed. (And something that wasnt shown at my satellite event in London we got a not-great projection mapping brand activation across Londons Thames river. Boo.) Like Samsung did a year ago with its Galaxy Ring teaser, we got a fleeting glimpse of the rumored slim Galaxy phone, actually called the Galaxy S25 Edge. Its slim, has two cameras and... thats about all we know. Bloomberg reports it will cost less than the S25 Ultra when it arrives later this year. Samsung/YouTUbe And then theres the mysterious teaser for some possible bifold device see the screengrab above. This would be a foldable concertina, like devices weve seen from Huawei. Samsung teased the display tech back at CES 2022 and subsequent trade events. Is it now ready? Will the companys foldables become the new home for Samsung hardware innovation? Is the Galaxy Fold series now truly the new Galaxy Note?

AI-ier Star Trek: Section 31 review: An embarrassment from start to end Today, in 1984 The first Mac(intosh). BBC Apple demonstrated its first Macintosh computer in front of 3,000 people. Graphical computing on the Macintosh wasnt as commercially successful as Microsofts DOS and Windows, but this was the first successful mass-market desktop personal computer with a graphical user interface, built-in screen and mouse. Yes, a mouse! The epic Ridley Scott-directed ad, 1984, also teased it. Time to watch that ad again. President Trump and tech The new leader got straight to work.
