Samsung is likely to tout new Galaxy AI features and use the new foldable phones to showcase them on, though such features are very likely to roll out to other Galaxy phones and devices too.We’re also expecting to see new smartwatches, likely the Galaxy Watch 8 and its ‘Classic’ stablemate, and perhaps a Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.An evolved design has been tipped for the Watch 8, with a potential ‘squircle’ design reminiscent of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s square-meets-circle aesthetic, and the potential return of a rotating bezel.Expect new AI-centric fitness features and tools in the software for these watches, but I’d also expect such features to roll out to other Galaxy Watch models.You might also likeSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 colors: every rumored and predicted shadeBest Samsung phones: top Galaxy handsets rankedSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: latest news, rumors, and everything we’ve heard so far

Strong webcam and infrared login make daily video calls simpler and more secure for professionalsNo 4K resolution makes these monitors feel outdated for today’s professional display needsViewSonic VG41V Series USB-C charging limited to 15W is a major letdown for modern laptop usersThe new ViewSonic's VG41V Series marks the company’s latest effort to carve out space in the crowded business monitor segment.These monitors target video conferencing and productivity users by integrating Windows Hello facial recognition, a built-in 5MP webcam, and enhanced ergonomic designs.On paper, they check a lot of boxes, but in practice, the lineup leaves a few open questions, particularly around display resolution and power delivery.Productivity perks can’t mask a resolution compromiseThe VG41V Series includes three models: the 24-inch VG2441V and two 27-inch options, the VG2741V and VG2741V-2K.While the VG2741V-2K supports QHD (2560x1440) resolution, the VG2741V and VG2441V only support FHD (1920x1080) resolution.None of them reach 4K resolution, which is increasingly expected in higher-end office monitors - but still, the lineup introduces thoughtful touches like infrared-enabled facial recognition via Windows Hello.The 120 Hz refresh rate and Eye ProTech+ (flicker-free technology and low blue light) make extended sessions more bearable, features that align well with ViewSonic’s productivity branding.This series enables secure, instant login to digital workspaces, which could appeal to enterprises managing device access without passwords.It also integrates a 5MP webcam, tiltable by ±5°, and includes a physical privacy cover, while dual microphones and stereo speakers support a more complete conferencing setup.For remote workers or office-based teams regularly joining Zoom or Teams calls, this package could provide a plug-and-play convenience that some will value.However, powering the VG41V Series via USB-C introduces a compromise.While USB-C is undeniably a flexible standard for video, data, and charging, its implementation here feels awkward.ViewSonic offers dual USB-C ports, one upstream for data and video, and one downstream that supports just 15W charging.That’s enough to charge a phone or small accessory, but it won’t power a laptop or meet the needs of many desk setups.This could frustrate users relying on a single-cable solution, especially Apple users searching for the best monitor for Mac Mini or MacBook Pro.That said, the series performs well on ergonomics, with support for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments. It also includes a compact stand to maximize desk space.ViewSonic’s VG41V Series uses FSC-certified, recyclable packaging and meets EPEAT and ENERGY STAR standards.The VG41V Series will arrive in select markets in North America, Asia, and Europe in the coming months.Pricing for the VG41V Series remains unknown at the time of writing, making it difficult to judge whether the trade-offs in resolution and power delivery are ultimately justified.You may also likeThese are the best VPN with antivirus solutionsWe've also rounded up the best monitors for home working right nowWhy the end of Teams Classic support demands immediate enterprise action
