This week we have a fresh controversy to explore - paint is peeling on certain Samsung models, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung has a funny excuse for why this is happening (Hint: it didn't come in your box when you bought your phone). We also have numerous new leaks about the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (the new name for the Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra). Samsung is gearing up to launch a better fold just months after the Z Fold 6, and we're not too happy about it.
In the second half of the show, we dive into One Hand Operation+, one of Samsung's best Good Lock modules. We're also taking a look at the new Bowers and Wilkins Pi8 headphones, and answering some great questions about the marketing of foldables going forward in our Q&A segment. All of that and more, so get to listenin' already!

Despite some initial concerns, the watch impresses us with its bright, clear display, crucial for sunny environments.
