Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE is coming into focus, and here’s what to expect

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-23 08:29:08

TL;DR A new leak has revealed a more complete spec sheet for the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, Exynos 2400 chip, and 45W charging. It looks like the selfie camera will be bumped to 12MP, and the device will weigh around 190g. We’ve already got a pretty solid idea of what to expect from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, but the same leaker behind last week’s RAM and storage leak is back with a more substantial spec dump.

Microsoft Needs to Make Affordable 5G Surface Laptops a Reality

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-08-23 12:20:14

Microsoft didn’t launch its 2025 lineup of Surface devices with a 5G option. Instead, it waited a few months for interest to die down enough to release its business-end version with a starting price nearly twice that of the one built for the average joe. It shows that if users want a laptop that can connect to the internet without relying on spotty public or Starbucks Wi-Fi, they need to pay through the nose. Hopefully Microsoft’s new tech will get cheaper later, though only if laptop makers rec

The Pacific Dodged a Monster Tsunami After One of the Biggest Quakes Ever. Here’s Why

gizmodo.com Alan Dykes 2025-08-23 16:55:52

The earthquake near the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia on July 30, 2025, generated tsunami waves that have reached Hawaii and coastal areas of the U.S. mainland. The earthquake’s magnitude of 8.8 is significant, potentially making it one of the largest quakes ever recorded. Countries around much of the Pacific, including in East Asia and North and South America, issued alerts and, in some cases, evacuation orders in anticipation of potentially devastating waves.

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry.
