The Galaxy S25 FE is finally here, and there’s good and bad news

TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone. The phone has larger battery and faster charging than the S24 FE, but retains most other features. The Galaxy S25 FE starts at $649 and goes on sale today. We were expecting a new member of the Galaxy S25 series to be revealed today. Now, Samsung has made it official and finally pulled the curtain back on the Galaxy S25 FE. Those hoping for a giant leap forward in most areas might be disappointed, but the new phone still brings a few k

Samsung Galaxy S26 dummies tease a long-awaited charging feature

TL;DR An image of Galaxy S26 dummies has been posted online, giving us our first look at Samsung’s 2026 flagship lineup. All three models have at least a partial camera island design, with the larger one on the Galaxy S26 Edge mimicking the iPhone 17 Pro. A circular ring on the back suggests Samsung may finally add Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series isn’t due until early next year, but the first dummy units have already surfaced, giving us a glimpse of what the lineup

I tried the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, and it got big upgrades in several ways

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung S25 FE lineup has officially launched with a starting price of $649. It features a better front camera, battery, and chipset, as well as a more compact form factor. With holiday sale season on the horizon, you can expect discounts on the flagship phones soon, making the price difference less enticing. As phones continue to get flashier features, more unique factors, powerful cameras,

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may ape the iPhone 17’s biggest design change

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. At least one phone in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 range may look a little different to what we were expecting, and a lot more like Apple’s iPhone 17 series. That’s going by a photo of dummy phones shared by leaker and journalist Sonny Dickson, who has a pretty good track record for sourcing accurate Apple and Samsung phone designs. Dickson’s photo shows three phones, which we’re expecting to be the Galaxy

Stable One UI 8 is finally here for one Galaxy S25 phone, the rest still have to wait

TL;DR The Galaxy S25 series is officially on One UI 8, starting with Samsung’s latest launch, the Galaxy S25 FE. The rest of the Galaxy S25 series will get the stable Android 16 update later this month. First off, apologies for that headline tease. I know Galaxy S25 series owners are counting the days until the Android 16-based One UI 8 update hits their phones, so this might sting a little. Yes, Samsung has finally kicked off the stable One UI 8 rollout for the S25 lineup, but there’s a twist

Galaxy S25 FE vs S24 FE: Here’s why I wouldn’t upgrade

It’s here. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, a phone that impresses in many ways and serves as an affordable alternative to the more feature-packed Galaxy S25 series. While I believe the phone is a solid purchase, the more important question for many is whether it’s worth upgrading to from last year’s Galaxy S24 FE. In short, the answer is no. The days when a yearly smartphone upgrade made sense for most people are long gone. The incremental changes between generations are simply not sign

Samsung launches the Galaxy S25 FE at IFA 2025

Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone at IFA. It's available right now, starting at $650. The handset is available in four colorways. This is a midrange member of the Galaxy S25 family, after the company released the S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra back in January and the ultra-thin S25 Edge in May . The base-level S25 starts at $800 , so this is a slightly cheaper way to get in on all of that Galaxy action. This phone actually ships with the company's One UI 8 operating system. The o

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE ‘Fan Edition’ Is a Cut-Down S25+ For $350 Less

You already know what to expect when you see the letter FE following a Samsung product name. Short for “Fan Edition,” FE devices are a Frankenstein of components packaged together and sold for less. In the case of the Galaxy S25 FE announced at IFA 2025, the $650 Android phone has the same size 6.7-inch display as the $1,000 Galaxy S25+, while costing less than the $800 Galaxy S25. Yeah, it doesn’t quite fit perfectly on a side-by-side chart comparing Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series phones, does it?

Samsung's $650 Galaxy S25 FE Gets Fast 45W Charging, Thinner Design

Samsung's new $650 Galaxy S25 FE is getting some of my favorite features seen on the more-expensive $1,000 Galaxy S25 Plus, with a number of hardware tweaks that bring down the price. Samsung revealed the phone as part of its Thursday morning Galaxy Unpacked livestream, which also features new Galaxy Tab S11 tablets. The Galaxy S25 FE launches with the company's One UI 8 overlay for Android 16, which we first saw on Samsung's new Z Fold and Z Flip phones last summer. One UI 8 has a refined desi

I’ve never been quite sure what to call the category Samsung’s Galaxy FE belongs to. Upper midrange? Midrange plus? Low flagship? Whatever we’re calling it, Samsung is bringing the concept back again this year in the Galaxy S25 FE, which continues to stand for Fan Edition. It’s still $650 like the S24 FE before it an

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge currently sells for $699 for the 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage configuration. With its sleek profile and solid hardware, this phone sets a new standards for mobile devices.

Amazon will sell you the Samsung S25 Edge for $400 off right now - it's lowest price ever

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung took the hard road when it launched the ultra-thin and lightweight Galaxy S25 Edge back in May. The phone had a mere 3,900mAh battery (not enough to be considered "diabolical," as the teens would say, but barely able to last a full day), lacked a dedicated telephoto lens, and demanded a $1,100 price tag. Unless wrist strain was your biggest issue with using smartphones, the S25 Edge just felt out of place. Also: The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewe

One UI 8 on Galaxy S23 feels incomplete without this highlight feature

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung started the One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23 yesterday. Despite receiving the latest update, the Galaxy S23 is not getting a notable Galaxy AI feature, which is Now Brief. Samsung first introduced Now Brief with One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25, though it subsequently rolled out to other devices with One UI 8 (stable and beta). After first announcing One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 back in July, Samsung is expected to bring it to other fla

New Galaxy S26 Edge battery leak keeps piling on the bad news

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Chinese regulatory filing suggests that the Galaxy S26 Edge could have a smaller battery than previously rumored. The listing hints at a 4,200mAh battery rather than a 4,400mAh battery. This would still be an improvement over the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the most polarizing Android phone of 2025. The device has a very slim and light design, but this form factor comes at the expense of battery life. We’re expecting a bigger

Galaxy S25 FE leak shows off every angle and color ahead of launch

TL;DR A leak shows the Galaxy S25 FE from every angle. The leak also shows off the device in all four of its color options. Today, Samsung announced it will hold a reveal event in a week from now. At that event, we’ll be introduced to “the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family.” This is definitely in reference to the Galaxy S25 FE. Before that unveiling, however, you can get at least one more early look at the device, thanks to a new leak. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?

ARMSX2 is the future of PS2 emulation on Android, and you can try it now

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR ARMSX2 is an upcoming Android fork of the PS2 emulator PCSX2. Test builds are now available, with the open-source 1.0 release coming to GitHub. This has the potential to overtake AetherSX2, which is based on an outdated PSCX2 build. While it’s certainly playable, PS2 emulation on Android has largely stagnated since AetherSX2 was abandoned in early 2023. Other devs have done an incredible job tweaking the closed-source code to add new features, but thos

It’s official: The Galaxy S25 FE launch is just days away

Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S25: The choice is clear for me

While Google’s Pixel line has gained momentum over the years, I’ve always felt that Samsung’s Galaxy S series was the safer bet. It delivered a more premium build, faster internals, and a strong reliability track record. But with the Pixel 10 series now officially announced, Google seems to have addressed those shortcomings head-on. That begs the question: Is the Pixel 10 good enough to take on the Galaxy S25 series? While we haven’t had extended time with Google’s flagship phones yet, even on

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Oppo Find X8 Ultra performs better than its Samsung rival in almost every scenario. The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes close in ultrawide camera comparison. Oppo's flagship has unique features like XPAN mode, Hasselblad color science, and Master mode. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra houses one of the most versatile camera systems on a mainstream phone, thanks to its two telephoto cameras and an ultrawide sensor coupled with a 200MP primary camera.

Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty. And while the Galaxy S25 might look

The $100 open-ear headphones that made me forget about my Shokz

I depend on earbuds to keep my runs from feeling like a chore. This is especially so during the hot summer months, when any distraction from the heat is a necessity. When I go on longer runs, I need earbuds that can not only tolerate my copious sweat, but also not constantly remind me that I have something on my ears. Because of the amount of sweat I produce when running, I can't wear traditional earbuds (I've destroyed at least a dozen pairs), which means I have to use either bone-conducting h
