Samsung plans to use at least one recycled material in every module of every Galaxy device by 2030. Galaxy S25 and S25+ are the first Galaxy smartphones with recycled materials in every external component.
Prices. Pre-orders can already be placed, and the phones will be available on February 7th.
But those aren't the only phones in the Galaxy S25 family. Samsung also teased Galaxy S25 Edge, which is likely the rumored slimmer model.

#Google has released the source code of the OS powering Pebble smart watches.
Pebble, if you're unaware, was a pioneer in the smart watch market, launching a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012, then following it up with 2 more generations. In the end, the startup was acquired by Fitbit, itself getting acquired by Google, with former Pebble employees going on to work on Wear OS.
Now, Google is releasing the source code of PebbleOS, the OS that once powered those watches. Google hopes that this will help the community, mentioning the Rebble project. The source code release will also help people that want to build new smart watches on the PebbleOS platform.
One of those people is Eric Micigowsky, the founder of the startup that started it all. He is planning to release new wearables that retain the core aspects of Pebble watches like the signature e-ink display.

Meet the AI assistant that's slowly dethroning ChatGPT.
Seemingly overnight, DeepSeek became extremely popular, overtaking ChatGPT on app store charts in some countries.
The Chinese company of the same name became famous for DeepSeek R1, a reasoning AI model that matches or even beats OpenAI's o1 in some benchmarks. R1 is open source and requires less processing power than o1, and its smallest variants can even run on regular computers. In the DeepSeek app, the model is available for free, unlike o1 which requires a subscription.
Not to be outdone, OpenAI announced that o3-mini, a part of its flagship o3 series of reasoning models, will be available to all ChatGPT users for free. CEO Sam Altman called its competitor's flagship model "impressive", but said that OpenAI will deliver "much better models" and that computing power is "more important now than ever before".
