Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you're not a Prime subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you'll likely see tons of items on sale but only "with Prime;" those discounts will not be available to those who are not active Prime subscribers.</p> <h2 id="jump-link-is-prime-day-only-for-prime-members">Is Prime Day only for Prime members?</h2> <p>Technically yes, but even if you do not pay for a Prime membership, you should still check out Amazon on Prime Day. While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you'll see "Prime exclusive" on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members.</p> <p>Separately, it’s very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you're not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it's worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.</p> <p></p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-best-amazon-prime-day-deals-for-day-two-are-live-get-up-to-50-percent-off-our-top-picks-on-headphones-tvs-robot-vacuums-and-more-134756617.html?src=rss

Claude can now connect to learning apps like Canvas, Panopto and Wiley
<p>At the start of April, Anthropic <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/claudes-new-learning-mode-will-prompt-students-to-answer-questions-on-their-own-172057828.html">released Learning mode</a>, a feature that changed how Claude would interact with users. With the tool enabled, the chatbot would attempt to guide students to a solution rather than providing them with an answer outright. The release of Learning mode and Claude for Education was the start of a major push by Anthropic to work with universities and colleges globally.</p> <p>Today, the company is upgrading Claude for Education with the addition of integrations to three popular learning apps — <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.instructure.com/__;!!Op6eflyXZCqGR5I!E72C-vT4WSoEq0ZSfIqxYz2xjDp2EQ-HFqfGc76TCjRTX3K21W-llNQ1EzBNqvyGpqz1SousEkWTUizDPUBGeg$">Canvas</a>, Panopto and Wiley. With the update, students and teachers can connect those platforms to Claude, making it possible for the chatbot to access the materials like lecture transcripts, peer-reviewed journals and more.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="966091ceec384a1eab85c94457d39573"></div> <p>For two of the apps, the connective tissue is provided by MCP servers made by Panopto and Wiley. For the uninitiated, MCP is a protocol Anthropic <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol">released last fall</a> to make it easier to connect its AI models to third-party systems. This past spring, OpenAI began <a href="https://platform.openai.com/docs/mcp">supporting the tech as well</a>.</p> <p>With Wednesday's update, Anthropic is also adding support for Canvas' Learning Tools Interoperability feature. As a result, students will be able use Claude directly within their Canvas courses without the need to switch between platforms. As before, Anthropic says all student conversations with Claude are private and won't be used for training future models.</p> <p>Separately, Anthropic is partnering with campuses worldwide to launch Claude Builder Clubs, an initiative designed to help students run hackathons, workshops and demo nights dedicated to Claude and AI more broadly. "Together, they’ll build AI-powered projects — anything from an app to help their colleagues study and learn, to the next billion-dollar startup," the company says. Students can apply today to kickstart their own Builder Club this fall.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/claude-can-now-connect-to-learning-apps-like-canvas-panopto-and-wiley-150038075.html?src=rss

Prime Day deals include the Amazon Smart Plug for only $13
<p>The Amazon Smart Plug <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B089DR29T6&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=ca7d88e5-e8d4-49e0-b38a-b6f71b64ee44&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=is+on+sale+for+just+%2413&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwODlEUjI5VDY_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiY2E3ZDg4ZTUtZThkNC00OWUwLWIzOGEtYjZmNzFiNjRlZTQ0Iiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwODlEUjI5VDYiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAZh7E2y8b0iG7pvA7QLIUjzKbXelqtkKx_LKkIHs-Gmp&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB089DR29T6">is on sale for just $13</a> as part of the latest <a href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Prime Day event</a>. This is 48 percent off and a record-low, as the typical price is $25. It just might be time to stock up.</p> <p>The Smart Plug is pretty handy. It plugs into any standard outlet and integrates with Alexa. This means that it provides voice control to many common household items like lamps and coffee makers. It made our list of the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/home/smart-home/best-smart-plug-131542429.html">best smart plugs</a> and this is especially true for those already tied into Amazon's ecosystem.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <p> </p> <p>It's extremely easy to set up and use, particularly for folks who have some experience with the Alexa app. It doesn't require a smart home hub, as the app itself handles adjustments. The compact design also ensures there's room for another plug in a standard two-outlet fixture. The plug will automatically reconnect to Alexa after a power or Wi-Fi outage.</p> <p>We came away impressed with some of the features here. The app allows users to create routines, and we got a small thrill by saying "Alexa, goodnight" and watching everything power down for the evening.</p> <p>The major drawback here is the app's lack of sharing capabilities. The app doesn't let other people in the home access smart home devices, though they should be able to turn stuff on and off with their voice. However, they won't be able to make routines or adjust settings. It's also not the cheapest smart plug on the market, but this sale handles that for now.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/prime-day-deals-include-the-amazon-smart-plug-for-only-13-230012394.html?src=rss

This is a record-low price and a discount of $140. The sale applies to the 16GB model, which is enough storage for thousands of books and notes.</p> <p>The Kindle Scribe is Amazon's answer to devices like the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/remarkable-paper-pro-review-writing-in-color-is-nice-but-itll-cost-you-173024590.html">reMarkable E ink tablet</a>. It's both a standard ereader and a tablet for taking notes, as it ships with a pen for scribbling. This makes it handy for writing down thoughts or for mindlessly drawing pizza slices. Users can jot notes over books, but not every title supports this feature.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <p> </p> <p>The Scribe made our list of the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/best-e-ink-tablet-130037939.html">best E Ink tablets</a> for a number of reasons. We appreciated the low latency when writing. In most cases, users won't notice any latency at all. The latest software update also brings in new brush types, which now include a fountain pen, a marker and a pencil. This device makes it easy to create multiple notebooks for different purposes. There are even some <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/tablets/kindle-scribe-hands-on-you-can-scribble-on-your-books-130043335.html">AI tools for summarization and the like</a>.</p> <p>Of course, it's also a standard ereader. I have a Scribe and, to be honest, I use it primarily for reading. The giant 10.2-inch screen is just so luxe and offers a superior reading experience to standard-sized Kindles.

The Bose QuietComfort headphones drop to $199 for Prime Day
<p>Noise-cancelling headphones are a must if you're traveling or hoping to get some work done without distractions wherever you may be. <a href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Prime Day deals</a> include a bunch of the most popular headphones and earbuds for less, like the <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B0CCZC9J1V&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=2445ae7f-7634-40ef-9468-439a56ecaa01&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&linkText=Bose+QuietComfort+headphones&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0NaQzlKMVY_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMjQ0NWFlN2YtNzYzNC00MGVmLTk0NjgtNDM5YTU2ZWNhYTAxIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0NaQzlKMVYiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&signature=AQAAAReePg77n211-SdpcyMl2eABUTJatzBImEaEd0OnoWvg&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CCZC9J1V">Bose QuietComfort headphones</a>. These cans are down to $199 right now, or 42 percent off their usual price.</p> <p>These QuietComfort headphones include active noise cancellation (ANC) and multipoint connectivity for switching between various audio sources. There's a fully customizable EQ that can be adjusted via the affiliated app. The battery life is fantastic here, offering 24 hours of use per charge. Also, there's a quick-charge feature that provides 2.5 hours of use from a 15 minute trip to the outlet.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <p> </p> <p>As to the name, these cans include plush, padded earcups and an adjustable padded band.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter and has a larger 8-inch display

The new model is a substantial improvement <a href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-the-king-but-for-how-much-longer-140129812.html">over the Fold 6</a> with a much thinner, lighter design, larger and brighter display and an improved hinge design that reduces visible creasing to almost nothing. It's also more powerful and comes with a new wide-angle camera that finally matches up with the mainstream Galaxy S series. </p> <p>Though it superficially resembles the previous model, Samsung has improved the Fold 7 nearly everywhere. That starts with the display(s), with the main AMOLED 2X main display (120Hz, 2,184 x 1,968) now 11 percent larger at 8 inches with up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness. It's also tougher thanks to the use of Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The cover screen uses the same display tech and is also bigger at 6.5 inches compared to 6.3 inches, with a 21:9 aspect ratio.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><figure><img alt="Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a thinner, lighter body and larger display" src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/2512afb0-5cab-11f0-b875-231654838426" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Sam Rutherford for Engadget</div></figure> <p>The main improvement, though, is with the lighter and thinner Armor FlexHinge that reduces visible creasing noticeably compared to the Fold 6, addressing a key concern for buyers. It also boosts durability thanks to a "multi-rail structure" that evenly disperses stress. </p> <p>Though the screens are larger, the Fold 7 is lighter and thinner than its predecessor. Weighing in at 215 grams, it's 24 grams lighter than the Fold 6 and lighter even than the non-folding Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's also just 8.9mm thick when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded, a hefty 27 percent reduction compared to the previous model. </p> <p>Under the hood is Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy that boosts CPU and GPU performance by 38 and 26 percent respectively, while lifting NPU compute by 40 percent. Other key specs include 12GB memory, up to 512GB internal storage and a 4,400mAh dual battery (with wireless Qi charging and a 50 percent wired charge in around 30 minutes). Samsung is also touting its latest One UI 8 on Android 16 that is very AI-centric, as you'd expect, with features like Gemini Live, Circle to Search and Galaxy AI optimized for large screens. </p> <figure><img alt="Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a thinner, lighter body and larger display" src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/7dc32770-5cab-11f0-bbce-9d209e143f35" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Sam Rutherford for Engadget</div></figure> <p>The Galaxy Z Fold 7 also has updated cameras, negating one of our <a href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-the-king-but-for-how-much-longer-140129812.html">biggest complaints</a> about the Fold 6. It now comes with the same 200MP wide-angle camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, though the 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto cameras are unchanged — as are the 10MP selfie cover camera and 10MP main camera. Still, at least you're no longer getting compromised optics with the principal camera, especially considering this smartphone's price.</p> <p>And the Galaxy Z Fold 7 certainly isn't cheap with another $100 boost in price compared to last year.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on: The big design revamp we’ve been waiting for
<p>The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold line has been <a href="https://www.engadget.com/galaxy-z-fold-5-review-five-years-in-samsung-is-treading-water-140002461.html">treading water</a> for a <a href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-the-king-but-for-how-much-longer-140129812.html">couple generations</a>. But that’s changing in a big way at today's Unpacked event with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasting a dramatically thinner design, new cameras and an even larger flexible display.</p> <p>For 2025, Samsung has significantly decreased its latest flagship foldable’s weight and thickness. Compared to the previous model, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is 26 percent thinner, measuring just 8.9mm when folded (or 4.2mm unfolded) versus 12.1mm for the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-the-king-but-for-how-much-longer-140129812.html">Z Fold 6</a>. Meanwhile, the Fold 7’s heft has dropped to just 215 grams, which is down 24 grams from its predecessor.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <div id="e0a7eb4ed8884053a6ecaa31eccd7c70"> <div style="width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"> </div> </div> <p>Now I’ve <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge-review-more-than-just-super-thin-180042172.html">said before</a> that the single-minded quest to make thinner phones is relatively pointless, but that’s mostly when it comes to standard candybar-style glass bricks. That’s because for larger devices, like those in the Z Fold line, more streamlined dimensions can make a big difference. And with the Z Fold 7, Samsung has created a device that’s essentially the same weight and thickness as the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-review-too-much-ai-not-enough-ultra-140022798.html">Galaxy S25 Ultra</a> (8.2mm and 218 grams), which can be opened at moment’s notice to reveal a massive flexible display.</p> <figure> <img alt="The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses some of the design features we saw on the S25 Edge, but them to even better use with its foldable form factor. " src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/dfff0270-5c3c-11f0-9b2a-2e0b28a99251" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <p>Speaking of the Z Fold 7’s main display, despite its newly streamlined design, Samsung managed to increase its size from 7.6 inches to 8 inches flat — which means you get five percent more room for movies, games and multitasking. Granted, that might not sound like a ton, but when the main purpose of a gadget is to provide a big display that still fits in your pocket, that’s a very welcome upgrade. And while its IP48 rating for dust and water resistance is the same as before, Samsung claims it reworked the phone’s internal design to provide more robust protection against liquids.</p> <p>Elsewhere, the Z Fold 7 features a redesigned Armor FlexHinge that’s noticeably sleeker than before with Samsung saying it also disperses stress from opening and closing the phone more evenly. Additionally, the hinge has extra room inside to reduce the appearance of a crease, though it’s still there if you look closely or from acute angles. Durability has also been improved as the Z Fold 7 comes with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 (which we first saw on the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge-review-more-than-just-super-thin-180042172.html">S25 Edge</a>) in front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 around back.</p> <figure> <img alt="The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be available in three main colors: blue, black and silver.

Samsung says this should help deliver “best in class image quality,” though because its 12MP ultra-wide cam is largely unchanged and its 10MP telephoto cam is still limited to a 3x optical zoom (instead of the 5x like in the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/pixel-9-pro-fold-review-a-grown-up-glowed-up-foldable-170043123.html">Pixel 9 Pro Fold</a>), I’m going to wait until I can properly test things out before making a final judgment.</p> <p>That said, perhaps the biggest change to the Z Fold 7’s photo toolkit is that Samsung has gotten rid of the under-display camera it has been using since the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-3-review-s-pen-camera-battery-test-190051606-190051075.html">Z Fold 3</a> in favor of a more traditional 10MP holepunch module. This represents a small retreat from what was once seen as a more sophisticated solution. But for anyone who regularly uses the interior camera for video calls and meetings, the improved image quality is almost certainly worth the small cutout in the phone’s flexible display.</p> <p>Inside, the Z Fold 7 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. Some may be slightly disappointed to see that the phone’s battery capacity is staying the same at 4,400 mAh, though Samsung claims the increased power efficiency of the new processor results in better longevity overall.</p> <p>For longtime Fold fans, the most troubling downgrade may be that the 7 no longer supports Samsung’s S Pen. The company says it made this change because data showed that the number of owners who used stylus integration was “very low” and that by removing the dedicated digitizer layer from the Z Fold’s screen, it was possible to make the phone even thinner. This may be a dealbreaker for some, but it shouldn't really come as a surprise. Existing S Pen features have stagnated over several generations and after Samsung removed the dedicated S Pen storage slot from the Galaxy S Ultra line, I feel like the writing on the wall for the demise of S Pen support.</p> <figure> <img alt="On the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung replaced the under-display interior camera with a more traditional punch-hole component.

Samsung has finally made a big flagship foldable that won’t weigh you down compared to an equivalent glass brick like the S25 Ultra. Its new main camera sensor offers a huge jump in resolution while refinements like a faster chip and its streamlined design contribute to a much more well-rounded package. The one issue is that starting at $2,000, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 remains prohibitively expensive.</p> <figure> <img alt="The mint version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be available exclusively on Samsung.com." src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/6ca860e0-5c3d-11f0-adeb-75df4356a58b" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <p>The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is available for pre-order today, with official sales slated to begin on July 25.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a bigger battery and is still thinner than last year's model
<p>Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Flip 7, along with the Z Flip 7 FE and the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsungs-galaxy-z-fold-7-is-thinner-lighter-and-has-a-larger-8-inch-display-140054089.html">Z Fold 7</a>, during its latest Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED Flex Window, which is the largest external display on a Z Flip model yet. It's also the slimmest iteration of the Flip so far, measuring only 13.7 mm in thickness when folded, and has a larger battery (4,300mAh) than any of its predecessors. Since the new model comes with the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/the-galaxy-z-fold-7-and-z-flip-7-are-the-first-phones-to-launch-with-android-16-140025335.html">AI features of Android 16</a>, Samsung calls it an "intelligent pocket-sized companion built for seamless interaction and everyday reliability."</p> <p>You'll be able to access Gemini Live from its Flex Window, allowing you to ask the AI for assistance, such as to set a reminder or to find you restaurants to eat at, without having to open your phone. You'll even be able to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/googles-ai-powered-search-live-feature-is-here-to-further-cannibalize-the-internet-160018513.html">point its camera</a> at an object in the real world and ask the AI questions about what you're looking at and get answers on the Flip's external display. </p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The Galaxy Z Flip 7's main display is a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen that has a peak brightness of 2,600 nits and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Samsung says its Armor FlexHinge is thinner than previous generation's hinges and features a restructured design with high-strength materials for better durability and smoother folds. When it comes to cameras, the new model come with a 50MP Wide and a 12MP Ultra-Wide lens for both scenic shots and selfies. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also the first model in the line to come with Samsung DeX, allowing you to use the phone as a workstation. You'll simply have to connect it to a compatible screen for a PC-like experience. </p> <p>You can now pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the US from <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=f85e63cd-e13c-4f9d-991c-9fbaadede3ac&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&contentUuid=7229a026-910d-4d26-a8e4-88ce4f4ef974&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Samsung+Electronics&linkText=Samsung%27s+website&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zYW1zdW5nLmNvbS8iLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjcyMjlhMDI2LTkxMGQtNGQyNi1hOGU0LTg4Y2U0ZjRlZjk3NCIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Ftc3VuZy5jb20vIn0&signature=AQAAAT1eoswEjfKzfnSjeVomC3Y3BaVCMEMdqq0Ew-X3ScCu&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2F">Samsung's website</a> and retailers nationwide.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 hands-on: New look, new AI and.... new antioxidants?
<p>Do you even antioxidant bruh? Samsung’s latest smartwatch can help answer that question and provide receipts, should you need it. The Galaxy Watch 8 series, which the company unveiled at its Unpacked event today, comes with a new test that uses existing optical sensors to gauge the level of antioxidants in your body. That’s present in both the standard Watch 8 as well as the new Watch 8 Classic, which comes with the rotating bezel that has historically been popular with Samsung smartwatch fans.</p> <p>The Watch 8 is also what Samsung calls “the thinnest Watch 8 ever,” which I think is supposed to mean it’s the slimmest Galaxy Watch to date. Despite the smaller profile, the Watch 8 also has bigger batteries, a new “dynamic lug system” for its bands, as well as other hardware tweaks like a brighter screen and a possibly polarizing “cushion design.”</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <h2 id="jump-link-gemini-comes-to-the-galaxy-watch-8-series">Gemini comes to the Galaxy Watch 8 series</h2> <p>The Galaxy Watch 8 series is the first to launch with Wear OS 6 out of the box. With that, it’s also getting support for Google’s Gemini AI assistant. Theoretically, this means Gemini can do on the Watch 8 what it can on your phone. But at the large, busy demo area where I checked out the new watches this week, the Gemini integration was laggy at best.</p> <p>Using the prompt suggested by Samsung’s reps. I asked Gemini to tell me “two cool things to do in New York City.” There was a noticeable multi-second pause before the Watch 8 Classic I was testing registered the request and showed the words on its screen. It then took another second or so for the answer to be displayed (we have a video of this sluggishness, check it out below).</p> <div id="6c19ff7f37c34adea055393426588485"> </div> <p>To its credit, Gemini’s answers were fairly accurate, depending on your definition of “cool.” For example, it recommended the High Line park and an observation deck at Top of the Rock as candidates. But when Samsung reps and I followed up with “Add that to Samsung Notes” or “Add that to Google Tasks,” both of which are apps the assistant is supposed to be able to interact with, the system never completed either action. On one attempt, Gemini said I would first need to connect Google Workspace to the device, while on another try I got a more general error message. </p> <p>It’s most likely the demo units were either failing due to spotty Wi-Fi or not set up for certain apps, and we’ll need to properly test Gemini on a review unit in the real world to see how responsive and effective it actually is.</p> <h2 id="jump-link-preview-of-the-new-antioxidant-test-on-the-galaxy-watch-8">Preview of the new antioxidant test on the Galaxy Watch 8</h2> <p>Of all the new features coming to the Galaxy Watch 8 series, I was most intrigued by the antioxidant test. It doesn’t require specialized hardware and uses what appear to be the same optical sensors that were on previous Galaxy watches. You <em>do</em> need to remove the watch from your wrist and place your thumb on the heart rate scanner on the underside, though, so this is definitely a test that can't passively track data in the background.</p> <p>Samsung says this should help you “gain insight into the accumulated antioxidants in your skin,” and you’ll receive recommendations on how to improve your score and tips on adopting healthier habits. The company said this uses its “bioactive sensor” to measure carotenoid levels so you can “make informed lifestyle choices,” and cautions in fine print that this isn’t intended for medical use. My ears twitched at the mention of “antioxidants,” which I assume is the effect Samsung was hoping for. They’re <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/antioxidants-explained">nutrients like Vitamin C and Vitamin E</a>, and are generally considered to be <a href="https://www.who.int/initiatives/behealthy/healthy-diet">good for health</a>.</p> <p>I was frankly shocked and borderline offended to find out that in all three tests I ran on a demo unit of the Watch 8 Classic, my antioxidant index number was “very low.” I scored 38, 41 and 39 on a scale of one to 100.</p> <figure> <img alt="A Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and Z Flip 7 held in mid-air, with both displaying the words " src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/64f36260-5c4b-11f0-9b27-ebc5e256d5dd" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <p>To run the test, you have to open the Samsung Health app on the watch and scroll all the way to the third tile from the bottom to launch it. From there, you just have to tap the “Measure” button, swipe through three pages of guidance and then flip the watch around to put your thumb on it.</p> <p>As the Watch suggested, I made sure my thumb covered the entire sensor and felt a quick vibration quickly after. I continued to hold my finger in place until the device buzzed more aggressively, which was a cue that the reading was complete. The process, after I placed my thumb on the sensor, took only about five seconds. I did find that my score jumped from 38 to 41 when I made sure to leave my finger firmly on the scanner for the full five seconds.</p> <p>You can see your result on the Watch 8 (and this test requires a Watch 8 to work, which is possibly sad news for those who have older Galaxy watches). The Samsung Health on your phone can provide more information, and I noticed that the Z Flip 7 my Watch 8 unit was connected to was responding in tandem when I started a test. A small panel popped up on the phone’s screen, and the results appeared on both devices at the same time.</p> <p>Over on the phone, I tapped various parts of the screen to find more details on my performance, but nothing responded until I tried the small info icon to the top right of my score. This brought up a page with paragraphs of information titled “About antioxidant index.” It explained what “free radicals and oxidative stress” were, saying the harmful unstable molecules were exacerbated by “unhealthy lifestyle habits” like smoking, heavy drinking, overeating and stress.</p> <figure> <img alt="A Galaxy Z Flip 7 with its screen open showing the words " src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/a99a9c30-5c4b-11f0-a77f-306083a7fb59" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <p>It also included the World Health Organization’s recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables, as well as a table explaining all the possible ranges of results on Samsung’s Antioxidant Index. The company said these numbers are based on analysis of “clinical trials at Samsung Seoul Hospital.”</p> <p>Surprisingly, the highest level is simply “Adequate” while those with levels below 75 get assigned “Low” (74 to 50) or “Very Low” (below 50). A footnote clarifies that “the above criteria may be adjusted based on future clinical results,” and this index doesn’t appear to be a scale used in non-Samsung medical settings.</p> <p>I’m not sure if my low number is the result of a lack of antioxidants or a high level of stress, but it’s certainly motivated me to eat more vegetables (I already consume a fair amount of fruit). I’ll need more time with a review unit to see if changes to my diet will make any difference and whether the feature actually is effective at motivating longterm consistent lifestyle change.</p> <h2 id="jump-link-what-else-is-new-on-the-galaxy-watch-8-series">What else is new on the Galaxy Watch 8 series?</h2> <p>I’ll also have to spend more than an hour with the Watch 8 series to know how I feel about the updated interface, but my early impressions are positive. This was my first interaction with Wear OS 6, and while I’m not sure how much of the tweaks are exclusive to Samsung’s One UI overlay, I have to say the seemingly larger tiles and rearrangement of how information is displayed made the screen feel roomier. One thing I can say is certainly a Samsung tweak is the Now Bar, which sat at the bottom of the home screen. I didn’t interact with it much during my time with the demo unit, but so far it seems to display too little information at a glance to be very helpful.</p> <figure> <img alt="Side view of a black Galaxy Watch 8, showing the two buttons on its right edge and its new " src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/f01bc620-5c4b-11f0-af5f-0ed3d5f29019" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <h3 id="jump-link-new-design-and-lug-system">New design and lug system</h3> <p>Most of the other updates I was able to check out at the hands-on event were related to the hardware. I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of the so-called “cushion design” when I saw pictures of the Watch 8, which basically looks like a round screen encased in an aluminum squircle (squarish circle or round square?). The same goes for the Watch 8 Classic, except that its rotating bezel is large enough to hide some of the metallic case around the watch face, and it has markings in the bezel to denote time.</p> <p>In person, I didn’t mind the new look as much, and was actually quite taken by the Watch 8’s thinness. At 8.6mm thick, this model is 11 percent slimmer than the Watch 7. Plus, Samsung says it improved the strap’s angle using a “dynamic lug system,” which makes it easier to swap out different bands and minimizes the gap between the watch and your wrist. Altogether, the company says these changes result in “11 percent more accurate heart rate tracking.”</p> <p>Do I think the idea makes sense in theory? Yes. Do I also find the multiple occurrences of “11 percent” suspicious? Extremely so. I’ll grant that coincidences can happen, and numbers like 11 percent don’t really mean anything, so I won’t get too skeptical about that right now. I <em>will</em> say it’s also very convenient (and weird) that Samsung said in a briefing that the improved “pressure uniformity” makes for a 12 percent increase in comfort, as if that’s something you can quantify.</p> <p>Now, the button to release the watch straps is on the case itself rather than the bands, which gives me a firmer backing to push against. But I could see it being an adjustment for those who have gotten used to pushing down on the strap and pulling away. You’ll have to buy new bands if you’re upgrading to the Watch 8 or Watch 8 Classic, though, since the system won’t be compatible with older straps or devices. That’s mildly annoying, especially when you consider that companies like Apple and Google generally make their bands compatible with new and old models.</p> <figure> <img alt="A white Galaxy Watch 8 Classic on a wrist held in mid-air, showing some words on its screen. The words are " src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2025-07/26650570-5c4c-11f0-bffe-2908e9da377f" style="height: 2000px; width: 3333px;" /> <figcaption></figcaption> <div class="photo-credit"> Sam Rutherford for Engadget </div> </figure> <h3 id="jump-link-watch-8-classics-rotating-bezel-and-other-hardware-tweaks">Watch 8 Classic’s rotating bezel and other hardware tweaks</h3> <p>I also want to shout out the Watch 8 Classic’s rotating bezel, which looks more like a toothed gear than that on the Watch 6 Classic. When I tried spinning it to scroll through apps on the new Classic and its predecessor (there wasn’t a Watch 7 Classic), I found the later model slightly stiffer, but it wasn’t sluggish or difficult to use. I remain a fan of the mechanical bezel as a way to interact with Wear OS.</p> <p>I’ll run through a few quick hardware specs for the Watch 8: it comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes. These will have batteries that are 325mAh and 435mAh respectively, representing an 8 percent increase over the previous generation. Both versions of the Watch 8 have displays that are 50 percent brighter than before, up to 3,000 nits. The same goes for the Watch 8 Classic, which is only available in a 46mm model and has a 445mAh battery. Finally, across the lineup, the devices have what Samsung says is a durable Armor Aluminum 2 frame, and are rated 5ATM and IP68 for water (and dust) resistance, as well as MIL-STD-810H.</p> <h3 id="jump-link-software-fitness-and-health-updates-i-didnt-get-to-test">Software, fitness and health updates I didn’t get to test</h3> <p>I didn’t get to test some other new software features coming to the Watch 8 series, including vascular load insights, running guidance and bedtime suggestions. Vascular load requires you wear the watch overnight and it tracks your heart health while you sleep. Samsung says it will provide insight into your sleep, exercise and stress, and make suggestions for bringing down your vascular load</p> <p>Meanwhile, after you’ve worn the watch for at least two nights in a row, the Watch 8 can recommend an ideal bedtime, based on sleep and activity patterns. According to Samsung, prompts to get ready for bed will be delivered on the watch about two hours prior to the suggested window, so you’ll have ample time to wind down.</p> <p>Of course, I didn’t spend that much time with the demo units, so I can’t say how accurate or effective they are. I also didn’t use the Watch 8 enough to check out the running guidance feature, but it sounds similar to existing versions across the smartwatch ecosystem. In fact, based on Samsung’s description, it’s most reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/wearables/watchos-26-everything-apple-announced-for-its-wearable-at-wwdc-2025-174915653.html">Workout Buddy that Apple recently announced for watchOS 26</a>. Both will offer motivational messages, insights and real-time feedback during your workout. Apple’s does support more types of exercises, though, including biking, strength training and HIIT. It’s also unclear whether Samsung’s version will analyze your past workouts for the insights it delivers.</p> <p>After years of incremental updates, it’s nice to see a fairly significant set of changes coming to the Galaxy Watch series. As usual, I recommend waiting till we’re able to review these in the real world before spending your money, but if you’ve already decided to get one, you won’t have long to wait. The Watch 8 will start at $349.99 and $379.99 for the 40mm and 44mm (Wi-Fi only) models, while the Watch 8 Classic will cost $499.99 and $549.99 for the Wi-Fi and LTE versions respectively. All are available for pre-order today and will retail more broadly on July 25.</p> <p> </p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/wearables/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-hands-on-new-look-new-ai-and-new-antioxidants-140039472.html?src=rss
