Kerry Wan/ZDNETSamsung’s One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing. I change almost a dozen settings on every Samsung Galaxy phone to best suit my needs, and I believe these will elevate your user experience, too. Also: The best Samsung phones to buyFrom setting the highest available screen resolution to more privacy-focused features, here are 10 Galaxy phone settings (plus a bonus) that I recommend changing to enhance your Galaxy phone experience.

At the Red Hat Summit and Ansible Fest in Boston this month, much of the hype and overpromising about generative AI took a back seat to conversations about how organizations can actually build and deploy AI for their own business using their own data. Of course, this is a Red Hat Summit, and there was […] More

If Apple Watch users record a run of at least 3.1 miles on June 4, they will earn a digital award.

The workout can be recorded on any app that is compatible with the Apple Health app. Also: I thought my iPhone 16 camera was good enough for photos – until I attached this accessoryIn celebration of the running day, Apple Fitness+ is launching a few new Time to Run episodes that feature locations from around the world, like Central Park, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, and Edinburgh.

Adam Breeden/ZDNETIn April, Amazon confirmed that its annual July Prime Day event will return this summer. Despite an uncertain economic outlook, Amazon is full steam ahead on its first Prime Day event of the year. Also: Google’s new AI shopping tool just changed the way we shop online – here’s whyAmazon hosted its second annual Big Spring Sale in March, which was extended from five days in 2024 to seven days this year. In a similar fashion, some early leaks suggest that Prime Day will be extended from the usual two days to four days as well. Though Amazon has not publicly announced the dates of the 2025 July Prime Day event or commented on the length of the sale, competing retailers already take advantage of similar savings events that extend prior to, during, and after the dates Amazon selects.Also: Sorry shoppers, Amazon says tariff cost feature ‘Is not going to happen’In 2024, Prime Day ran from July 16 to July 17. I’ve covered plenty of sale cycles over the last few years, and I’m placing my best estimate for this year’s Prime Day event to land either from July 8-9 or July 15-16 — after Fourth of July, but not too late into the month. It’s typically a two-day sale running on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. If Amazon chooses to extend it like with their Big Spring Sale, I’d expect more days to save within the same weeks as those dates. We’ll have to wait and see. What is Amazon Prime Day?Prime Day is Amazon’s flagship sale event, and it happens twice a year: July and October. Shoppers can expect tons of savings across nearly every product category on the site, including popular Amazon products. Typically, Prime members can shop for new deals that are refreshed throughout the event and partake in exclusive invite-only deals. Plus, market competition with Prime Day has turned the month of July into a true shopping extravaganza that mimics holiday-like sales in the heat of the summer, making it a great time to be a consumer. I’ll be keeping up with all the best Prime Day news through the end of the sale, so be sure to keep up with our team on ZDNET.com. We’ll be updating the site with all the details you need to shop savvy — including the best deals on products we’ve personally tested and would recommend. More
