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

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-23 18:30:42

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?

At the turn of the millennium, during her teens and early twenties, Heather Chase was addicted to methamphetamine. To fund her addiction, she broke into cars and homes and forged checks, leading to several arrests and a year in jail. But she got sober in 2004 after attending a court-ordered recovery program in Salt Lake City. She moved on, ultimately graduating college in 2014 and earning a master’s degree in 2015.

There’s always something at risk when it comes to investing. But right now, it is definitely smart to keep your eyes open for major market disturbances. With the risk-reward balance in the U.S. equities market stabilizing, Wall Street has entered a pivotal stretch over the next 14 trading sessions that may determine its near-term direction. In a span often defined by uncertainty, key economic data and Fed policy will weigh heavily on investor sentiment. No sector is more vulnerable than tech.

Eufy’s Marswalker Is the First Robot Vacuum Designed to Climb a Full Flight of Stairs

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-23 17:30:00

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance. Even the best robot vacuums we recommend for their ability to cross obstacles, like the Dreame X50 Ultra and Roborock Saros Z70, can only handle thresholds between two and three inches. Eufy’s Marswalker may be the first robot vacuum to truly be able to tackle this problem. It’s a robot vacuum that looks a bit like a wheeled Mars

For the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s data and analytics team, January 5, 2025, felt a lot like kismet.
