The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra abandoned the rounded corners of its predecessor in favor of 90° angles – and all the phones that followed had the same tendency to dig into your palm. This is likely coming to an end as all indications suggest that Samsung is going back to a more rounded design with the S25 Ultra.We saw renders of the alleged design earlier this month, but this saga has been going on for longer. Even back in August, Ice Universe has been showing off mock-ups and claiming that Samsung will round off the sharp corners. And now the cat has proof.S25 Ultra case...

The change obviously won't affect any videos uploaded before October 15, and applies to videos that are square or taller in aspect ratio. YouTube says it will also work hard to improve recommendations for longer Shorts "in the coming months".

Samsung smartphones will, from next year, be able to unlock smart locks with just a tap - or not even that, by going hands-free using UWB. The tap to unlock functionality will use NFC instead, as you may have expected. Samsung users will thus become on par with iPhone owners, who have had the ability to unlock smart locks in a fiddle-free way already. Samsung will support the new Aliro smart lock standard and add it to its Wallet's Digital Home Key. When that happens, tap to unlock and hands-free unlocking will become a reality, and both of these can work locally between your phone...
