Samsung is allegedly not done adding AI features into its flagship phones.

That's according to prolific (and often correct) leaker Ice Universe on X, via Tech Radar. This latest leak suggests that Samsung is about to one-up Apple Intelligence in some nondescript way. According to Ice Universe, some of the new features haven't even been leaked yet, so they might be total surprises if/when Samsung announces them alongside the new Galaxy S25 phones, slated to launch sometime this month.

That's about all there is to this leak, unfortunately. Ice Universe didn't tease what some of these new, allegedly unleaked features might be. As with most AI features on smartphones, it wouldn't be shocking if they were related to photography or text generation in some way. The last batch of Galaxy AI features, announced last summer, included ways to turn selfies into AI portraits and language translation tools, among other things.

For these ones, though, we'll just have to wait. Either until Samsung announces them officially, or someone decides to leak them ahead of time.

As of Jan. 3, however, it's dropped another $20, down to just $359.99 for Prime members when they use the code 55FIRE at checkout. This new model features an ultra slim bezel that fades into the background, which makes whatever you're watching more immersive. Otherwise, it's just a newer rendition of the same Fire TV fans know and love. It supports vivid 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus, comes with the Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced, and features four HDMI inputs to connect all your gaming and audio peripherals.

A $99.98 value, you can snag both devices for only $44.99 — that's $5 cheaper than either device on its own at full price or 55% in savings. The Echo Dot is small enough to slide onto your nightstand or bookshelf and seamlessly add smart benefits to your daily routine. It can be used to set alarms, schedule tasks, communicate with friends and family, light up your room, listen to music, or play some soothing white noise to quiet the chaos.

If you're looking to jumpstart a new health routine in 2025, the newest Garmin Venu makes an excellent accountability buddy.

In smartwatch mode, it'll last up to two weeks before needing a charge (less when tracking workouts). The smart features might not stand out as much as the Apple Watch, but the Venu 3 truly shines for those who prioritize wellness, fitness, sleep, and battery life. It's typically $449.99, but it's on sale as of Jan. 3 for $399.99. That's not its lowest price ever, but it's still $50 in savings.

Do you need to buy a pair of headphones to take on your fitness goals in 2025? Probably not. But good pair of headphones designed to last through most situations you might throw at them in your workouts can make a difference.

If you're in the market for headphones to come along with you on runs or trips to the gym, we recommend checking out the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 earbuds, and as of Jan. 3, they're on sale at Best Buy for $169.99. That's a $60 price cut from their $229.99 MSRP (and $10 cheaper than Amazon's sale price).

Directly tested against Apple AirPods Pro, Shokz, Beats, and Bose headphones, these Jabra earbuds came out on top as Mashable's favorite workout earbuds. Why? First of all, they're built to last. As Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino writes in our guide to the best workout earbuds, "these are the only earbuds we tested with a U.S. military-grade standard of durability, meaning they won't crumble if you step on them. Plus, they're IP68 dust and water-resistant."

In other words, while you can't wear them for any swim workouts, they'll last during sweaty gym sessions, even if they happen to fall out — which according to Mangino, was not an issue for her during testing, with her writing instead they had the most secure fit of all the headphones she tested. (Anyone who's tried to do yoga with earbuds in, you'll know how crucial a good fit is).

You might have noticed that for a pair of headphones, we haven't talked all too much about the sound performance yet — in a nutshell, it's good, not great, but for workout headphones, we think the trade off is worth it. Mangino noted the active noise-cancellation doesn't block as much as other headphones she tested, but that she did prefer to have some awareness while exercising anyway. The sound quality itself does the job, but isn't a standout among more sound-forward options. Finally, you'll get nine hours of playback time with ANC on a single charge, plus 32 more hours with the case.
