Feeling down about Stranger Things wrapping up? Samsung's latest theme and wallpapers could help lift your spirits.

      Collect the latest content from the Galaxy Store before February 22.

      Samsung is commemorating the conclusion of Netflix’s popular series Stranger Things by offering exciting new customization features for your Galaxy phone. Fans can now download a complimentary theme and wallpapers inspired by the series, infusing its signature spooky atmosphere into their devices.

      The new Stranger Things theme and wallpapers are accessible via the Galaxy Store in 186 countries, but users must either download or launch the Netflix app to obtain them. This collection is themed around the fifth and final season of the series and includes five wallpapers showcasing beloved characters and notable locations from the show.

      Samsung states that the theme and wallpapers capture “the unique ambiance of the show,” allowing fans to incorporate aspects of the series into their daily lives. The content will be available on the Galaxy Store until February 22, so fans should seize the opportunity before it disappears into the Upside Down.

      The company points out that the new Stranger Things theme is compatible with all Galaxy devices running Android 15 or later, though it may not be supported on some models. The wallpapers, however, can be used on all Galaxy phones running Android 8 or beyond.

      Samsung has a history of show-themed collaborations.

      This isn’t the first occasion that Samsung has teamed up with Netflix to provide exclusive content for Galaxy users. The company had previously released a Stranger Things-themed short film to celebrate the debut of the series’ fourth season and to highlight the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Nightography capabilities. Last year, Samsung also introduced a series of special themes based on the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters.

      As Stranger Things concludes its run on Netflix, it signifies the end of a cultural phenomenon that shaped an era of streaming. Fans seeking to fill the gap can explore our list of similar shows that might satisfy the same sci-fi and supernatural cravings.

      Samsung’s recent patent hints at a foldable phone that can be flipped inward or outward.

      The concept revolves around a 360-degree hinge and a reversible exterior, aimed at potential buyers interested in novel foldable designs, although a release date is still uncertain.

      A Samsung patent for a reversible flip phone, discovered on the World Intellectual Property Organization site, suggests a clamshell design with no distinct “right” side when closed. According to designs identified by XpertPick, Samsung is considering a front and back that could both serve as the outer face.

      This represents a significant change from current flip phones, which typically have a clear distinction between the cover display and the plain rear panel. This new filing appears to aim for a cohesive look on both sides of the closed device.

      iKKO’s compact phone features a folding camera and a keyboard for tactile users.

      iKKO’s MindOne is a credit card-sized Android phone equipped with physical keys, developed with MediaTek and SIMO to ensure core AI tools function even during unreliable connections.

      For those who miss using phones with keyboard-style input, iKKO is hoping you’ll consider the MindOne. Roughly the size of a credit card, it is designed for thumb typing and caters to users who prefer a diminutive device that feels purposeful rather than promoting endless scrolling.

      The company is also addressing a modern challenge that older keyboard phones didn’t face—maintaining an internet connection through fluctuating Wi-Fi, unreliable cellular signals, and unfamiliar networks. MindOne utilizes a MediaTek platform and SIMO connectivity to ensure data remains accessible even when the usual connection is unavailable.

      Google is quietly enhancing a native app lock feature in Android 17, with recent findings indicating how locked apps will interact with notifications and the system interface.

      New leaks from the Android 17's Canary build indicate Google is refining notification behavior for locked apps. A recent report from Android Authority reveals that while notifications from apps secured by the system's native app lock feature will still be displayed, key details will be hidden.

      For example, if a user has locked WhatsApp, and a new message arrives while the phone is asleep, a notification from the app will still appear on the device (either on the lock screen or as a bubble at the top of the screen), but the details of the message and the chat will remain concealed.
