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?

Samsung Is Announcing a New iPad Pro Killer at IFA Next Week

September, which starts *checks calendar* next week, is going to be a jam-packed month for new gadget announcements. In case you thought Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on Sept. 9 where it’ll announce the iPhone 17 family of phones, new Apple Watches, and possibly AirPods Pro 3, was the only big tech extravaganza, let me remind you that IFA is happening right after Labor Day next week. IFA is like CES, but smaller and in Berlin instead of Las Vegas. Coinciding with IFA, Samsung is doing yet another

Samsung inches closer to stable One UI 8 on Galaxy S25 with sixth beta

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR One UI 8 beta 6 is now out for the Galaxy S25 series. The update is now available in the UK, India, Germany, and Poland, with other regions expected to receive it soon. Besides bug fixes, the latest One UI 8 beta brings September’s security patch. Less than two weeks after releasing the fifth One UI 8 beta that fixed the purple moon issue, Samsung is rolling out its sixth One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S25. While it doesn’t add any evidently new features, t

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

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed a launch date for the Galaxy S25 FE. The new member of the Galaxy S25 series will arrive on September 4. Leaks point to upgrades like a larger battery, faster wired charging, and a new selfie camera. We’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to launch soon, and numerous retailer leaks only reinforce this belief. Now, Samsung has made it official and confirmed a launch date. Samsung confirmed in a blog post that it’ll hold a launch

Samsung sets the date for a Galaxy Tab announcement next week

Samsung TL;DR Samsung has scheduled a virtual Unpacked event for September 4. A promotion for reserving “the latest Galaxy Tab device” hints that we’re looking at the Tab S11 launch. Samsung has already had a busy summer for itself, with its Galaxy Unpacked event back in July introducing us to the Fold 7, Flip 7, and the Watch 8 series. While some of you may argue that the summer’s basically already over with August just about to wrap up, we’re still channeling summer vibes — and Samsung is s

Samsung will hold another Unpacked on September 4

Samsung is hosting another Unpacked event on September 4, and this time it'll only be available to watch virtually. The event will stream on Samsung's YouTube page and website at 5:30AM ET, following the in-person launch events the company held for the Galaxy S25 line in January and the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in July. With most of the company's smartphone lineup accounted for, Samsung will likely use this Unpacked to introduce new tablets. The company announced the the Galaxy Tab S10

Samsung's Next Galaxy Unpacked Event Will Be a Sept. 4 Livestream

Samsung will unveil new phones and devices for its Galaxy line during a Sept. 4 virtual event. The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event is timed just ahead of the IFA 2025 conference, a consumer tech event held in Berlin. The invite references a new Galaxy Tab that is available to "reserve" ahead of the event, but it's unclear what the new tablet is or what features it'll have. Samsung also typically announces new FE devices in the fall, which means we could see a Galaxy S25 FE phone or a similar FE

This Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra leak teases how much faster it is over last year’s model

TL;DR A bevy of Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra renders have leaked. The leak includes promo materials that reveal a few of the tablet’s specs. One of the images states that there’s a 24% CPU, 27% GPU, and 33% NPU improvement compared to the tablet’s predecessor. Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite earlier this week, but we know two more tablets are on the way. While leaks are pointing to an early September announcement for the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra, nothing has been officially confirmed. A

Galaxy S26 Ultra rumor hints at the return of a nostalgic design choice from 2021

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to get some major camera improvements. Those improvements could lead to Samsung bringing back the camera island. The design of the bump may be similar to the one we saw on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. For a few years now, Samsung has relied on nearly identical design language for its flagship Ultra phones. In fact, the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Ultra look so similar that you could easily confuse one for the other. But Samsun

US smart rings are getting more limited. Here are the 4 best ones you can still buy

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority If you’ve been thinking about buying a smart ring, your options are getting smaller. Over the weekend, Oura announced that the United States International Trade Commission (aka the ITC) ruled against RingConn and Ultrahuman for patent infringements against Oura. As a result, both RingConn and Ultrahuman have been issued cease-and-desist orders to stop selling their smart rings in the US. Although RingConn and Ultrahuman may not be the biggest names in the sma

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: I tested both Androids, and it's pretty darn close

The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (left) next to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (right). Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is one of the hottest new Android phones right now, but how does it stack up to the current champ? Ahead of last week's Made by Google event, I spent an intimate morning handling both the new Pixel model and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to determine which one deserves a spot in your pocket. The answer is... complicated.

Samsung’s latest ‘no shirt’ ad trolls iPhones for lacking intelligence and a fold

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has released an ad poking fun at iPhones for lacking AI features and the ability to fold. It’s no secret that Apple Intelligence has struggled to keep pace with Galaxy AI or Google’s Gemini. Samsung leans right into that weakness in the ad spot titled “A Real Upgrade.” Samsung and Google have been tag-teaming lately, poking fun at iPhones for being less “smart” than Galaxy phones and Pixels. Google has its snarky BestPhonesForever campaign, whi

Galaxy S25 FE US price leaks, and there’s good news

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Galaxy S25 FE pricing for the US may have leaked online. The phone is tipped to start at $649.99 for the 128GB model, while the 256GB variant is listed at $709.99 This would be in line with the Galaxy S24 FE’s US price. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is expected to launch soon, and we’ve already seen a steady stream of leaks. We’ve also seen some price leaks, and it looks like we’ve now got apparent US pricing too.

The device is powered by an 8,000mAh battery and runs on an Exynos 1380 chip.

Just bought a new Galaxy foldable? Watch out for this alert-hiding bug

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 suffer from a Do Not Disturb bug. Custom Do Not Disturb settings can reset automatically, removing your call or notification filters. A fix exists for the Galaxy S25 series in One UI 8 beta 5, but not yet for the Fold 7 or Flip 7. When you buy a flagship Samsung phone, the minimum you expect is smooth sailing with the core functionality. Still, early Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 owners might want to double-check th

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows why the punch-hole camera is here to stay, and I’m not mad about it

Ryan Haines / Android Authority After years of feeling a bit stagnant, Samsung’s rejigged Galaxy Z Fold 7 booklet foldable has found some new fans in the Android Authority team. Its wonderfully slim design, more comfortable aspect ratio, and stellar One UI software make this an ultra-premium foldable that’s truly worth the substantial investment. One change that’s flown under the radar is Samsung’s return to a punch-hole selfie camera, in place of the under-display setup from years gone by. Wh

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here's the winner

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year.

5 Galaxy AI features that actually make my life easier on a Samsung phone

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority I’ve been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 since its launch and recently switched to the Flip 7. Apart from the Good Lock features and One UI 8 customizations, there’s another Samsung feature that has stood out for me in recent times. To my surprise, I have grown used to certain Galaxy AI features. I am not heavily reliant on them, but they do make my life easier… sometimes. In fact, I miss parts of Galaxy AI when I put my SIM in other phones for testing. From regul

Bluetooth trackers are a handy piece of technology because they provide a cheap and easy way to locate lost items like your keys or pets that made a break for it.

Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst Ever Detected Hits Telescopes Across North America

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came from. Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy

Here’s how much the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra may cost in the US

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leak may have revealed the US pricing for the Wi-Fi versions of the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra. The 256GB Galaxy Tab S11 could cost $860. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is said to start at $1,200. Galaxy Tab S11 leaks have been ramping up as of late. Only a couple of weeks ago, a massive leak revealed the full spec sheet and the prices for Europe. Since European pricing usually differs from prices in the US, we were still left wondering exactly how much

Google Pixel Watch 4 Specs vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: Circle Takes On Squircle

Google's Pixel Watch 4 has arrived with a sleeker design, better battery life, first-of-its-kind emergency satellite connectivity, and an AI-powered health coach, giving even the most established smartwatches a serious run for their money. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8, on the other hand, builds on more than a decade of experience, pairing advanced health metrics like Vascular Load and Antioxidant Index with seamless integration across Galaxy phones and the broader Samsung ecosystem. As smartwatche

Deal: Remember, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still $300 off

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold may be the most talked-about foldable phone right now, as it was just announced. We can’t forget about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, though. Whether you like it better than Google’s alternative is a subjective matter. One thing is for sure, though: it is currently cheaper, thanks to a $300 discount. What’s best is that you don’t have to wait for it (the Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn’t actually launch until October). Buy the Samsung Galaxy Z

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge price drops further, saving you $270

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Some of us just want a smaller phone! Since those are becoming amazingly rare, the next best thing is to get a thinner device, and the hottest slim phone right now is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s been on a nice sale since last week, and the deal got even sweeter today. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for just $829.95 ($270.04 off) This offer is available from Amazon. This lower price is only available for the Titanium Jetblack color version. Other variants

I compared the two best Android smartwatches right now - and it was a close one

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Google just unveiled its new Pixel Watch 4, and upon first glance, it's pretty similar to the Galaxy Watch 8 Samsung released last month. They're both Android smartwatches with AI-powered health coaches, they have around the same battery life, brightness, and storage, and notably, they're the same price. Also: Everything announced at Made by Google 2025: Pixel 10 Pro, Fold, Watch 4, and more Of course, you'll get different watch bands and different brand styles, with Google's

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

Pixel 10 Pro vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: I know which one I’d get

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the smartphone equivalent of an all-inclusive holiday and costs about as much. Packing a massive screen, an impressive camera array, and plenty of push for even the pickiest power user, it’s not a smartphone you simply settle on. But, flagship devices only have a brief time in the sun before something new and potentially better comes along. The latest pretender is from Google and is in the form of the Pixel 10 Pro. Which would you buy: Pixel 10 Pro or Galaxy S25
