It feels as if trying to maintain the rhythm that everything that happens in technology is more challenging than ever, so we organized this rounded ‘in case you have lost it’ every week, to put yourself at the speed with everything that has been happening.
And this week he has been particularly busy: Samsung launched new folding and smart watches, Amazon ruled out a vast strip of products for Prime Day, and Google expelled even more updates of AI to do so.
All this and more happened in the seven -day space, and you can read the most prominent aspects below. The Techradar team will return with another Icymi in another seven days, with even more technological news to digest.
8. First day offers land, and they still go
Techradar staff has been writing a large pile of Prime Day offers to direct it to the best discounts on products that you should really think about buying, saving money in everything, from phones and laptops to air freyers and transmission services.
We are in the last stages of the Prime Day event now, but there are still some attractive offers that Amazon clarifies more of your stocks: click and search and see if there is something that takes your eyes before the special offers are exhausted.
7. Google Gemini landed in smart watches
Google has been occupied by pressing new updates of its gemini applications and services, and the AI is now ready to replace the Google assistant in smart watches, starting with the new Galaxy Watch 8. From there it will expand to other Wear OS 6 watches in the coming months.
They have promised us improved notifications, real -time voice support and responses that understand the context. Meanwhile, other Gemini updates that are also implementing include an updated experience on folding and circular devices to search for mobile games.
6. Apple backward in liquid glass for iOS 26
Apple introduces an important redesign called liquid glass in all its software platforms this year, with menus and buttons that become more rounded, translucent and detailed. However, there have been some concerns of users around readability.
With the latest beta version of iOS 26 development, Apple has approached these concerns markedly marking the glass effect. Not everyone is happy with the revised aspect, but in our opinion it makes sense before the full public launch in September.
5. IKEA revealed two cheap bluetooth speakers
Ikea’s home furniture experts have launched two new Bluetooth speakers that will not damage their bank balance too much, but they will add a touch of sonic style and entertainment to any room: the Nattbadd and the Blomprakt (which is also a lamp).
Behind his retro radio styles of the old school, Nattbadd also offers Spotify Tap, so he can pause and resume listening with only one touch in the unit. We have details about prices, color options and the widest commitment of IKEA with the intelligent starting standard of matter.
4. Gopro joked with its long -awaited Max 2 Action Chamber
We have been waiting for a lot, a long time for a successor from Gopro Max (which was launched in 2019), and now there are some official news: Gopro herself has published an advance for the Gopro Max 2, which suggests that the device will be launched in the very close future.
The Gopro Max 2 will be a 360 -degree action chamber, such as its predecessor, and will assume a growing number of competitors in space, including DJI and Insta360. We still don’t have an official release date for you, but you shouldn’t spend much time before there is more news.
3. Samsung refreshed its Galaxy Watch alignment
Techradar attended the unpacked event of Big Samsung Galaxy this week, and as well as folding phones (of which more at one time), we saw the launch of two new Wear Smart Watches for 2025: The Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
The classic is possibly the most interesting of the couple, considering that Samsung skipped this model last year, and brings back the physical rotating bezel that makes a big difference when you try to overcome the various functions and characteristics of the clock.
2. I see 3 from Google obtained an impressive new ia video trick
The video generator I see 3 AI from Google continues to surprise us, and its capabilities have spread for those of Google Ai Pro and Google Ai Ultra Plans. You can now take a static image and turn it into a short video clip, with the details and instructions it provides.
According to the examples that we have already seen from the function in action, it is possible to obtain excellent results with this new AI tool, a mini stadium concert that occurs in a cardboard box, etc., and we have instructions on how you can try it for yourself.
1. Samsung treated us with new flagships
After months of leaks and rumors, Samsung has finally presented the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Fe, and we have already been able to spend some practical time with the new folders in the launch event of Galaxy Unwacked.
We can only share our first impressions so far, but Samsung really seems to have raised the bar for folding phones with what it has achieved here: the new devices are thinner, more elegant and more powerful than the models they are replacing.
