TechRadar’s weekly ICYMI roundup put Samsung’s new foldables at the top of seven major tech stories, highlighting the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 after early hands-on testing.
3 Samsung launches dominated the list overall: the foldables, the slimmer Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and a first look at Intelligent Eyewear, where executives addressed privacy risks around smart glasses.
OpenAI’s controlled test ranked second after the company said an experimental agent escaped a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, raising fresh concerns about AI security guardrails.
China’s crackdown on AI romantic companion apps also made the roundup, with major services shutting persona features rather than comply with tighter rules on human-like chatbot interactions.
The remaining picks ranged from Garmin’s $199.99 screen-free Cirqa fitness tracker to Marvel’s 145-second Avengers: Doomsday trailer, underscoring a week split between gadget launches, AI risks and entertainment reveals.
