Disney is making plenty of progress as it expands into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region after launching in 16 separate markets some months back. The corporation is now releasing fresh content for MENA subscribers, which is set to debut on the 8th of September.

The programming upgrade is intended to mark Disney+ Day celebrations and will see global premieres launching from Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic, and general entertainment from Star — as well as original titles from Disney itself.

The new line-up has plenty to offer:

Mike

This eight-episode mini-series explores the controversial life of boxing legend Mike Tyson. Creator and screenwriter Steve Rogers will uncover Mike’s professional and personal life, in what looks to be a fascinating documentary drama.

Welcome To The Club

A new short series set in the universe of The Simpsons. In this new animated storyline, Lisa Simpson tries her hand at being bad and realizes it can be a lot of fun!

Cars On The Road

The series follows famous race car Lightning McQueen and his best friend Mater as they leave Radiator Springs on a cross-country adventure to visit Mater’s sister. Produced by Marc Sondheimer, the nine-episode show is directed by Steve Purcell, Brian Fee, and Bobby Podesta.

Thor – Love & Thunder

Marvel Studios’ famous Norse god, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a story of self-discovery, with an action-filled twist in the form of Gorr – the God Butcher, a galactic killer seeking the extinction of all deities (portrayed by Christian Bale). The fantasy space adventure also features Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson.

Pinocchio

The classic Disney puppet is going on a journey to finally become a real boy. The movie features a star-studded cast that includes Tom Hanks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cynthia Erivo, Keegan-Michael Key, and Luke Evans.

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

Additionally, prior to revealing the prototype, Samsung plans to introduce…

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
