why no option for those of us that never see it, I browser the forums NEARLY exlcusively using new content. Now topic preview hover there. so I can't vote.

Ditto, wouldn't mind seeing it work on the spy page as well. Along with an option to disable it for those that don't like it, an additional option to have it default to the last post versus the first would be useful as well.

I have a way to disable it via adblock feature, but I can not believe such an thing was even implemented without a way for users to disable it!! If there was not a way to disable it, to be honest I would prob have to call it an end to visiting neowin.. Yes I HATE THE FEATURE that much!!! You do not pop **** up on a simple mouse over - you DONT!!

Topic preview in 3.2.0 is really good, so we'll wait for that.

I will but this is one of the few features that still couldn't convince me. It's rather annoying but, as you said, I should wait for the new version. However, if the new version doesn't get accepted, will you guys add an option to disable it?

Yeah, just had a look and I must say this will be much better, rather than being activated on hover there is a switch to preview a topic on the right hand side. Take a look.

I don't mind it but considering I mainly use the Spy to view content, it's not really something I make the most use of. I like the look of the 3.2 topic preview though: everything in 3.2 seems to have been upgraded and made better to look at.

Yeah, I pretty much rely on the "New Content" button and the "View all posts by..." option from the "View My Content" option in my username drop down menu.

I presume that topic preview doesn't work there as it isn't something that I come across all that option. I usually just open the thread that I am interested in a new tab anyway and close it down when I am done.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
