Taking a look back at this week\u2019s news and headlines across the Android world, including the Galaxy Z Fold 8\u2019s missing feature, Samsung\u2019s new smart glasses, Anker\u2019s AI earbuds, OnePlus Ace 8 details, RedMagic 11S Pro launch, Walmart\u2019s affordable tablets and new Google Health widgets for Fitbit.<\/p>\n

Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Fold 8\u2019s Missing Feature<\/h2>\n

One of the key features in the Galaxy S26 Ultra was the privacy screen. As Forbes contributor Janhoi McGregor reports, this won\u2019t make it to the flagship foldable. Given the robust nature of a folding screen, it\u2019s understandable that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is not going to add another layer of complexity:<\/p>\n

“The privacy screen works by using a polarised filter layer built directly into the display hardware that restricts the viewing angle of the screen. At its most aggressive setting the display blacks out sharply when viewed from the side, making it difficult for someone sitting next to you to read your screen. The strength of the effect can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs too, and it can also be set to activate only for specific apps or when a password is entered.”<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Three New Lifestyle Wearables<\/h2>\n

Samsung has announced three new wearables this week with upgraded versions of the Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Fit, and Galaxy Buds. The South Korean company is leaning into small moments of motivation alongside the usual wins in a wearable. It\u2019s another announcement this week that is literally catching everyone\u2019s eyes; Samsung\u2019s Intelligent Eyewear. Launched at Google I\/O in partnership with glasses fashion houses Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, they look set to challenge Meta\u2019s approach with Ray-Ban.
