As expected, the Samsung Unpacked event on Feb. 25 confirmed the release of the Samsung Galaxy S26 family: The regular S26, the S26 Plus, and the S26 Ultra. Some big Samsung fans are pumped because they can officially preorder the Galaxy S26 — other Samsung fans are pumped because the existence of the Galaxy S26 probably means deals on the Galaxy S25.

Galaxy S25 deals aren't going super hard yet, especially considering many S25 configurations are sold out at multiple retailers (even Samsung itself). But there are a few worthwhile unlocked Samsung phone deals and refurbished phone deals are floating around. We'll be on the lookout for deals on the Galaxy S25, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, S25+, and S25 FE for the rest of the week, with promos from phone carriers and Samsung itself likely in the coming days. In the meantime, keep up with our live coverage of everything announced at Samsung Unpacked.

Should you get a Galaxy S25 over the Galaxy S26?

In some ways, it even feels wrong to use a term like "settling" when opting for last year's Galaxy S25 over the S26.

If it's comforting at all, there aren't any major discrepancies in our initial direct comparison between the two — the biggest differences mostly involve the S26's expanded AI editing tools and Samsung's new Privacy Display. In terms of the two flagships, the Galaxy S25 and S26 Ultra lines have the same AMOLED display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, and the S26 Ultra's cameras all have the same resolutions as the S25 Ultra's.

If your biggest pet peeve is a phone that loses charge over time, the S25 might actually be a safer choice. Battery health could be a main disadvantage of the S26, with reports alleging that the S26 will only be able to hit 80 percent at full charge after 1,200 charging cycles.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...

Watch Aidy Bryant *completely* lose it as 'SNL' roasts political pundits

On Saturday Night Live , there are breaks and then there's whatever happened here. The Season 45 premiere featured a sketch that was meant to expose the empty noisemaking of political punditry on TV. But part of the joke involved a series of quick costume changes, and some weirdness during one of those switches led to a complete and total breakdown. Aidy Bryant, the segment's host, couldn't take it. She manages to keep it together until what appears to be an accidental wide shot exposes some of the magic as we see a woman who's probably a member of the SNL wardrobe crew fiddling with Aidy's costume.
