ABP Live Leaks Before Launch | Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Might Be Costlier: Here's Why Waiting Wins

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: The Galaxy S26 is expected to launch in late February 2026, but Samsung is still unsure about its final price. Rising memory and part costs may push prices higher. For buyers, this is a clear sign to slow down. Samsung phones lose value very fast, and pre-ordering often means paying the highest price. If you love smart deals, waiting is your best friend. History shows that just a few months later, the same phone becomes much cheaper. You still get top features, but without burning your money. Samsung Galaxy S26 Price: Why Waiting Makes Sense Samsung flagships drop in value quickly. Data from SellCell shows that Galaxy S phones lose almost half their value within six months. The Galaxy S23 lost nearly 50% in six months. The S24 and S25 followed the same pattern. This means the Galaxy S26 will also become much cheaper by mid-2026. This does not mean shops will sell it at 50% off. That number is the trade-in value. Refurbished phones usually cost 20% to 30% more than the base price. Still, the savings are big. For example, a refurbished Galaxy S25 Ultra already costs much less than a new one. The same will happen with the Galaxy S26. Waiting six months gives you the perfect balance. You still get a modern phone with long software support, a great camera, and top performance. But you avoid paying extra just for being early. Buy from a trusted seller who uses original parts and gives a warranty. It feels almost like buying new, but you save a lot of money. Samsung Galaxy S26 Deals: Why 2026 May Be Different Reports from a Korean publication, ET News, say Samsung may increase Galaxy S26 prices by $30 to $60. That is not huge. The real problem is that Samsung may cut back on big offers. In the past, Samsung gave free storage upgrades during pre-orders. You paid for 256GB and got 512GB at no extra cost. With memory prices rising, this deal may disappear. In 2025, Samsung ran many discounts on the Galaxy S25. But right now, it is selling at full price on Samsung’s website. This shows that 2026 may have fewer exciting deals. As Forbes states, the smartest move is simple. Do not rush on launch day. Let others buy first. Wait six months. Then pick up a refurbished Galaxy S26 from a trusted seller. You will get the same phone, the same power, and the same experience, just at a much better price. If you are interested in more such leaks, we've got you covered! We keep a close eye on every latest Samsung Galaxy S26 leak, so stay tuned to know more.

'Europe Financing War Against Themselves': US Reacts As India-EU Set To Ink 'Mother Of All Trade Deals'

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent slammed the India-EU free trade agreement, which is likely to be unveiled on Tuesday, saying that Europe is indirectly funding the Russia-Ukraine war and was "financing a war against itself" by signing its deal with India. Bessent said European governments were weakening their own security position by purchasing refined petroleum products from India, which he said are sourced from Russian crude. He argued that this stands in contrast to Washington’s stance, as the US continues to levy tariffs on India over the same issue. Speaking to ABC News, Bessent justified the Trump administration’s decision to impose high tariffs on Indian imports, directly linking the move to New Delhi’s energy trade with Moscow. "We have put 25 per cent tariffs on India for buying Russian oil. Guess what happened last week? The Europeans signed a trade deal with India," he said. "And just to be clear again, the Russian oil goes into India, the refined products come out, and the Europeans buy the refined products. They are financing the war against themselves," Bessent added.

New Renault Duster vs Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos vs Tata Sierra

The compact SUV battle has been brewing away and as the list of new entrants keep increasing, the limelight is on how the Hyundai Creta will keep its crown. The latest entrants is the Renault Duster in its new avatar and here let us look at how it compares with the current segment benchmark like the new Kia Seltos and the Tata Sierra plus the Creta of course. Which SUV Is Longer? The new Duster has a length of 4346mm while the Creta has a length of 4330mm along with the Sierra at 4340mm. The new Seltos is the longest at 4460mm.  Which SUV Has More Power? The new Duster has a 163ps turbo petrol and with 280Nm it is amongst the highest torque and power output. Creta, Sierra and Seltos all have the same horsepower at 160bhp but Sierra matches the Duster at 280Nm torque while others are at 250. The naturally aspirated Creta and Seltos have more power at 115bhp while the Duster has the lowest power here at 100bhp vs 106 of the Sierra. The Duster has a strong hybrid which none of the others have while Sierra, Creta and the Seltos have a diesel option. Which SUV Has More Features? The Sierra is the one with the largest screens and three infact while the new Seltos also has a smaller screen for HVAC. All cars have a panoramic sunroof, twin screens including a digital cluster. The Duster has twin powered seats though the Sierra has the best audio system. The Creta and Sierra have more features for the rear seat occupant while new Seltos also comes back with that aspect. The Duster has a powered tailgate which the Sierra has only. All cars have Adas and the usual safety features. Overall, if priced well the new Duster can very much compete with its rivals in this segment with its strong hybrid and ground clearance plus the features list being the talking point.

'Not Living Up To Deal': Trump Hikes Tariffs On South Korea To 25% Over Delay In Trade Agreement

US President Donald Trump on Monday said tariffs on a broad range of South Korean imports would be raised to 25 per cent, up from the existing 15 per cent. This raise would be imposed on automobiles, lumber, and pharmaceuticals. Trump said the decision was prompted by what he described as the South Korean legislature’s failure to uphold commitments under an existing trade agreement with the United States. The announcement was made on Truth Social, where Trump wrote, "Because the Korean Legislature hasn't enacted our Historic Trade Agreement, which is their prerogative, I am hereby increasing South Korean TARIFFS on Autos, Lumber, Pharma, and all other Reciprocal TARIFFS, from 15% to 25%." There was no immediate clarity on whether the higher duties have already taken effect. South Korea is among the United States’ largest trading partners, exporting goods worth USD 132 billion to the US in 2024, Commerce Department figures show. Automobiles and auto components account for a significant share of these exports, along with semiconductors and electronic products, which are industries that may now see cost pressures from the tariff increase. The move reverses a trade arrangement outlined in July, when Trump had announced a flat 15 per cent tariff on South Korean imports, a figure notably lower than levels he had earlier proposed. Under that earlier understanding, Trump had also said Seoul agreed to "give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President." He further said the step came after what he called repeated delays by lawmakers in Seoul. “President Lee and and I reached a Great Deal for both Countries on July 30, 2025,” he wrote, noting that the agreement was reiterated during his subsequent visit to Korea that year. “Why hasn’t the Korean Legislature approved it?” This latest escalation follows several earlier tariff threats by the Trump administration that were ultimately not enforced. These included a proposed 10 per cent tariff on Canada after Ontario aired an anti-tariff World Series advertisement, possible duties on European countries linked to Greenland, and a 100 per cent tariff on Canada floated over the weekend. The development also comes against the backdrop of legal challenges to Trump’s use of trade powers. In November, the US Supreme Court heard arguments questioning tariffs imposed without congressional approval, with some justices expressing doubts over the president’s authority to introduce such measures independently.

India more than good friend, a trusted strategic partner: Israeli minister

Tel Aviv, Jan 27 (PTI): At a function marking India's 77th Republic Day, Israel's Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar said his country attaches utmost importance to its ties with New Delhi, describing India as a strategic partner. Zohar on Monday told the gathering that India’s Republic Day celebrations had also become a special day for Israelis, as Israel announced recovering the remains of the last hostage in Gaza from the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. "Today is also a special day for us. Our last hostage, Ran Gvili, came back home. This is something that all of the country is so happy about and it comes with your special day. I think it means a lot about the great relationship between the countries. Your happiness is also our happiness," the Israeli minister said. In a dastardly terror attack, Hamas killed about 1,200 Israelis and took 251 living and dead people as hostages on October 7, 2023. "India is a nation with a story of freedom, resilience, and spirit that inspires so many Israelis. For us, Israelis, India is far more than a good friend. India is a strategic partner that we can trust," Zohar told the gathering of about three hundred people. "India and Israel share today a lot in common, also common interests, and similar visions for the future. Over the years, the relationship between our two nations has grown broader, deeper and more dynamic," he said.  Referring to "the constant flow" of high-level visits between Jerusalem and New Delhi, the Israeli minister said that it is not merely a diplomatic routine, but a "reflection of the close ties between us and the importance we attach to our ties at the highest levels".  Israeli Minister of Tourism Haim Katz, Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Avi Dichter, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich visited India last year as the strategic partners build up momentum to sign a Free Trade Agreement. The two countries signed a Bilateral  Investment Treaty (BIT) during Smotrich’s visit and then a Terms of Reference (TOR) leading to FTA during the visit of Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal to Israel. Goyal's visit was followed by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Rajiv Ranjan Singh's visit to Israel in quick succession. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted at a visit at the prime ministerial level "very soon", demonstrating the growing engagement between the two countries. Speaking after the screening of a video showing some of the major developments between the two sides on the bilateral front, Zohar also pointed out the close chemistry between Netanyahu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a contributing factor in the strengthening of ties. "We saw the pictures of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Modi, and we can see the friendship (between them), and I know that of course this relation helped a lot the relation between our nations," he said. The personal equation between the two leaders has been a subject of widespread discussion in Israel, and a picture of the two of them walking on the beach barefoot during Modi's historic visit to Israel in 2017 had gone viral, evoking comments of "bromance". "These exchanges have made cooperation stronger across a wide range of fields from innovation, defence, agriculture and water management to science, health and emerging technologies," Zohar said.  He also appreciated the expansion of direct Air India flights between Tel Aviv and New Delhi, describing it as a factor that adds "depth and vitality" in bilateral relations. "The expansion of direct flights between Israel and India has brought our people closer than ever before. It is wonderful for tourism, business relations, academic exchanges and cultural dialogues. It gives our partnership its true depth and vitality," he said.  "A key milestone in our relationship has been the adoption of the joint action plan for 2026, which stands as a testimony of the solid foundation and vision that we share together. "It shows not only what we have achieved together but our shared commitment to working side by side to meet future challenges and (create) new opportunities. It is a road map guided by trust, ambition and a belief in the power of collaboration as we look ahead," he said, touching upon ongoing discussions between the two sides. "Israel sees India as a great partner in shaping our future together for the benefit of our peoples and the wider international community," he added. Zohar also thanked India for its steadfast support following Hamas' October 7 attack. "Before I finish my speech, I will say a few words from the bottom of my heart. India supported Israel during the time of the massacre of October 7, and Israel will appreciate that forever because on that day we saw other opinions of different countries, but India stood with Israel," he said.  "It was important to us so much because Israel, as a country, pursued peace. We didn't want war but we showed the world that we can fight and we can win. We didn't start this war and we didn't want this war. We had to defend ourselves and this is what we will do," he said.  "We can see that the Middle East is changing right now because we say 'no' to terror and I am sure that all of the free world will join this important opinion," he added.  Modi was among the first world leaders to condemn the Hamas attack. "On this special day, I wish the people of India peace, prosperity and success. May the friendship between Israel and India continue to grow from strength to strength in the years to come," Zohar said. People from the Indian community and Jews of Indian origin attended a programme on Monday morning in Herzliya, where India's Ambassador to Israel J P Singh unfurled the national flag and read excerpts from President Draupadi Murmu's speech. In the evening, Singh touched upon various developments on the bilateral front and also applauded the important contribution made by the Indian Jewish community in Israel in strengthening bilateral ties, serving as a bridge between the two countries.  The evening event showcased the ‘One District - One Product’ exhibition, and also featured cultural performances by Indian and Israeli artists, reflecting the richness of India’s heritage.

World not ready for rise in extreme heat, scientists say

Nearly 3.8 billion people could face extreme heat by 2050 and while tropical countries will bear the brunt cooler regions will also need to adapt, scientists said Monday. "Put simply, the most disadvantaged people are the ones who will bare the brunt of this trend our study shows for ever hotter days," urban climate scientist and research co-author Radhika Khosla told AFP. But wealthier countries in traditionally cooler climates also "face a major a problem -- even if many do not realise it yet", she added.

Baby Born Hours After Wedding In UP’s Rampur As Bride Gives Birth On Wedding Night, Internet Stunned

A startling incident from Rampur district in Uttar Pradesh has left residents shocked after a newlywed bride gave birth just hours after her wedding ceremony. The unusual episode unfolded in Kumhariya village under the Azimnagar police station area, where celebrations quickly turned into disbelief. Before the rituals had fully settled and guests dispersed, cries of a newborn echoed through the groom’s home. The extraordinary timing of the delivery triggered widespread discussion across the village and soon spilled over onto social media, where the story began circulating rapidly. Wedding Night Turns Dramatic According to local sources, the groom, Rizwan, a resident of Kumhariya village, had recently married a young woman from neighbouring Bahadurganj village. The couple reportedly knew each other for some time and had been in a relationship prior to marriage. Family talks were ongoing when the matter reached the police. A few days earlier, the woman had approached the Mursaina police outpost seeking formalisation of the relationship through marriage. Following mediation involving police officials and the village head, both families reached an agreement and a wedding date was fixed. On Saturday evening, Rizwan arrived in Bahadurganj with relatives, and the marriage was conducted as per traditional customs. The bride was sent off late at night and welcomed into her new home amid celebrations. However, around midnight, the bride suddenly complained of severe abdominal pain, causing panic within the household. A local woman doctor was called in for immediate assistance. A Newborn And Many Questions By early Sunday morning, the situation took an unexpected turn. Sounds of a crying baby filled the house, confirming that the bride had delivered a healthy baby girl barely hours after the wedding. News spread rapidly across Kumhariya and nearby villages, drawing curious onlookers by morning. The incident soon gained traction online, with users sharing humorous reactions while others expressed shock at the sequence of events. Several social media users commented that the “pre-wedding story surfaced post-marriage”, while some linked the episode to social pressure and family dynamics surrounding relationships and honour. Though no formal complaint has been reported, the case has sparked conversations about societal expectations, forced timelines for marriage, and the realities young couples face when relationships come under community scrutiny. For now, both families are said to be focusing on the well-being of the mother and newborn, even as the village continues to process an event few will forget anytime soon.

IAS Officer Tina Dabi Faces Online Backlash Over Brief Salute Slip During Flag Hoisting — WATCH

A fleeting moment during Republic Day 2026 celebrations in Rajasthan has unexpectedly placed senior IAS officer Tina Dabi at the centre of a heated online debate. A short video from the flag hoisting ceremony in Barmer began circulating on social media, prompting questions about protocol, pressure, and public scrutiny of civil servants.

In the now-viral clip, Dabi is seen unfurling the national flag before briefly turning in the opposite direction while offering a salute. Within seconds, a security personnel positioned nearby gestured towards the correct orientation, after which she promptly adjusted her stance and completed the protocol without delay. Though the lapse lasted only moments, the footage quickly gained traction across platforms. Social Media Reacts: Criticism And Defence Online reactions were sharply divided. Some users labelled the moment a “breach of protocol,” with comments such as “That lousy salute” and claims that such mistakes reflect poorly during national ceremonies. At the same time, several users came forward in her defence, pointing out the intense pressure of high-profile public events and calling it a simple, human oversight. Others praised the attentiveness of the security personnel who ensured the protocol was immediately corrected. Tina Dabi Responds To The Controversy Addressing the criticism, Tina Dabi clarified that the incident was completely unintentional and occurred due to momentary confusion amid the tightly scheduled programme. She emphasised that the error was noticed and rectified instantly. Administrative circles have largely dismissed the episode as a minor lapse, stressing that the correction was immediate and the ceremony proceeded smoothly thereafter. A Reminder Of Public Scrutiny The episode has once again highlighted how even brief moments involving public officials can be magnified in the digital age. As the debate continues online, many observers argue that the focus should remain on intent, accountability, and the ability to correct mistakes, rather than fleeting errors caught on camera.

Aortic Stenosis In Older Adults: The Silent Heart Problem And The New Fix Changing Lives

(By Dr. Anusha A Rao) Aortic stenosis is predominantly a disease of ageing, arising from a gradual degenerative process in which the aortic valve becomes thickened and calcified over time. What makes this condition particularly dangerous is that a large number of older adults remain completely asymptomatic in the early and even intermediate stages. Many live unaware of the narrowing of their heart valve, and the true severity of the disease often comes to light only through echocardiography, the most reliable tool to assess valve function and blood flow. Early Warning Signs Often Mistaken For Routine Fatigue Even in the absence of symptoms, people with moderate to severe aortic stenosis need to be closely watched. This is important because the condition is progressive, and people with moderate aortic stenosis are most likely to develop severe symptoms. Without timely follow-up, the window for early intervention can easily be missed. Symptoms, when they appear, often begin subtly. The symptoms of patients during physical exertion may begin with episodes of unexplained fatigue or chest discomfort. Exertional dyspnea, lightheadedness or syncope, and finally heart failure symptoms such as swelling, severe dyspnea, and poor exercise tolerance may develop as the narrowing progresses. How Severe Aortic Stenosis Affects The Heart And Other Organs Severe aortic stenosis may lead to low cardiac output syndrome and multiple-organ dysfunction in its advanced phase due to its negative effect on the heart's pumping function. When treatment is delayed after the onset of symptoms, the life expectancy and quality of life are rapidly compromised. Although some drugs may be effective in slowing down the process of valve degeneration or alleviating symptoms, they are not capable of halting or reversing the disease process. The only effective treatment for the condition is the relief of the narrowing of the valve, which has traditionally been accomplished by surgical valve replacement.
