If you thought Valve would release a new Steam Deck every year, we're sorry to disappoint you that this might not happen. In an interview with Reviews.org, Steam Deck designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat talked about the game console's future.

Despite more competition in the space, they don't plan on releasing new versions of the Steam Deck with only incremental updates. Yang said the team is looking for a "generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life" before they launch a proper Steam Deck 2.

These are the rumoured Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra colours

Render: OnLeaks x Android Headline

We are expected to see Samsung's Galaxy S series at the start of the year. That's why rumours about the upcoming device have started to surface. The latest ones involve the colours of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. According to tipster Ice Universe, the flagship phone will be available in black, green, titanium, and blue. They haven't shared information on the online-exclusive colours yet.

Leaked phone renders show a similar silhouette as its predecessor, with the camera module getting thick, dark rings around the sensors. They remind us a bit of the Fold6's design. The Galaxy S25 Ultra will supposedly come with a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 camera (perhaps like the new Fold SE) paired with a 50-megapixel ultra, 10-megapixel telephoto (3x optical), 50-megapixel telephoto (5x optical), and 12-megapixel selfie cameras.

Samsung has officially unveiled the special edition version of the Galaxy Z Fold6. As mentioned in the rumours, it is thinner and lighter than the Fold6 and features slightly bigger displays and a new banded pattern on the back. It will come to China, as rumoured, but the only other market the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition is coming to is its home country, South Korea. It will retail for 2,789,600 KRW or roughly CA$2,798 and go on sale starting Friday, October 25.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition comes in at 236 grams and 10.6mm thin, making it three grams lighter and 1.5mm thinner than the Fold6. It now has 16GB of RAM standard and a 200-megapixel wide-angle sensor over the 50-megapixel one on the Fold6. As mentioned, the inner and outer screens are a bit larger, too. They're now 8- and 6-inches, respectively, up from 7.6- and 6.3-inches.
