Now, Samsung’s made the move I’ve been waiting for: the beta version is officially available for Windows PCs, whether you’re running ARM, Intel, or AMD. The layout is very familiar, having a similar appearance to other browsers like Microsoft's Edge or Google's Chrome, eliminating the learning curve. This is a huge step toward rounding out the Samsung ecosystem, and it's a real boost for cross-device workflow. Let's dive in! Today's content features the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra!

    210: Samsung: How to Change Audio Output Quickly for Galaxy Devices Step-By-Step Tutorial!

    #AudioFix #ExternalDisplay #GalaxyTips #SamsungDeX #TechTutorial Today's content features the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra! You can find items to create the ultimate loadout for THIS device HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pixelscracked/list/1RDMPRZ8KQ1XP?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_CW9SRHC326D8RKRZFC54  Are you looking to build the ultimate load out?  Find items shown and a list of related items at the Amazon Storefront HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pixelscracked?ref=ac_inf_tb_vh As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. #CommissionsEarned Is your Samsung Galaxy phone sending audio to the wrong place—wearable glasses, earbuds, or the built-in speaker—don’t worry. In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to switch your audio output like a pro. Let’s get your sound where you want it! I personally ran into this issue when connecting my S25 Ultra to my Lenovo Legion wearable display glasses—the audio was still routed to my phone when I wanted it to play through the glasses for a more immersive experience.  However, this can happen with other external displays and bluetooth devices, especially if you have multiple forms of tech connected.  So let’s walk through the fix! Swipe down to access your Quick Settings. Depending on how your Quick Settings are set up, the location of items may vary. Look for “Media Output” and tap it. This opens a new pop-up that may show currently playing audio, along with a list of devices available for audio output. Interestingly, this doesn’t just include your connected device—it also lists previously connected devices. For this video, since I’m trying to route audio to my Lenovo Legion wearable display glasses, I’ll tap “Display Device.” Finally, verify that the audio is now being sent to your connected display. And that’s how you fix your audio output—quick, clean, and crystal clear 🎧. Whether you're rocking wearable display glasses or plugged into a big screen, now your sound goes exactly where you want it. If this helped you out, tap the like button, drop a comment if you’ve got questions, and don’t forget to subscribe for more Galaxy tips and tech tutorials. Catch you in the next one—stay synced, stay smart! Thanks for stopping by and watching! Shoutout to all the techies who give feedback and tips in the comments below!

    209: Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Gets One UI 8 – Investing, Multitasking & AI Upgrades

    #GalaxyS25Series #OneUI8Beta #SamsungAI #TechProductivity #YouTubeTechReview The cover photo includes a picture of the S25 Ultra showing One UI 8 on display. Today's content features the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra! You can find items to create the ultimate loadout for THIS device HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pixelscracked/list/1RDMPRZ8KQ1XP?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_CW9SRHC326D8RKRZFC54  Are you looking to build the ultimate load out?  Find items shown and a list of related items at the Amazon Storefront HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pixelscracked?ref=ac_inf_tb_vh As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. #CommissionsEarned  Yesterday, Samsung rolled out the One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S25 Series, and it’s packed with upgrades.  From Galaxy AI enhancements to new tools for personalization, DeX, Reminders, Health, Camera, and Audio—there’s a lot to explore. But in this video, I’m focusing on the features that stand out for me: productivity and investing. Improved Split Screen First up, we have improved split-screen. I’ve already covered this feature on the Z Fold 7 and the One UI 8 Beta for the S23 Ultra, and now it’s finally available on the S25 Series. It lets you pin one app to the edge of the display, keeping it partially visible while directing most of your focus to the other. You can tap the smaller app to switch focus instantly when needed. This is revolutionary because it maximizes display space to the point, that I switched from the Z Fold 7 to the S25 Ultra.  Redesigned Samsung Internet Next, we have a redesign for Samsung Internet. The menu has been optimized to make it easier to access the features you use most and you can customize the layout to match your preferences. Sticky Notes  Next, we have Sticky Notes in Samsung Notes for PDFs! You can now add quick annotations on top of documents directly within Samsung Notes. Check Stock Prices In Now Bar Finally, we now have the ability to check stock prices without unlocking our device—huge news for investors. Stocks you follow on Google Finance that experience significant price changes will appear on your Now Bar at the end of the trading day. If you’re wondering where to find Google Finance (like I was), the web address is https://www.google.com/finance/beta. I’ll also include this link in the pinned comment and video description, along with the full script for your reference. It’s worth noting that Google Finance is currently a Beta project, as indicated by both the URL and the desktop page. You can also access it on mobile, though it seems less optimized compared to its desktop counterpart. Personally, I think it would be great if this evolved into a standalone app, allowing Google to dive deeper into the finance and investing space. I haven’t seen this feature in action just yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. Thanks for stopping by and watching!
