Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to get an upgraded selfie camera
Samsung's Galaxy S25 FE is likely still a few months away at this point, given that its predecessor only launched last fall. Even so, we keep hearing new rumors about it - most recently we found out that it could be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 SoC, if we're lucky. If we're not, then it will stick with the Exynos 2400e that was also featured in the S24 FE.
Today a new rumor tells us that the S25 FE will come with an upgraded selfie camera. It will be a 12 MP unit, compared to the S24 FE's 10 MP snapper. The new camera may in fact be the same one used by the rest of the Galaxy S25 family.
That should make for nicer looking selfies. On the rear, the S25 FE will have a 50 MP main shooter, just like its predecessor. Unfortunately, details about the rest of the cameras haven't been outed yet.
The Galaxy S25 FE is said to arrive in September or October, practically a year after the S24 FE. It may launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, today's rumor claims, which is intriguing since we assumed the cheaper foldable would share the stage with the Flip7 and Fold7 in July, but maybe not. Perhaps Samsung wants to do an FE-only event in the fall. We'll have to wait and see. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

Realme GT 7 and 7T go global, first Nothing Phone (3) teaser, Week 22 in review
The Galaxy A57, which is expected in Q1 of 2026, will likely use a new Exynos 1680 chipset. The Exynos 1680 allegedly has the model designation S5E8865 and the codename Terra. No other details are known about it yet, but it is probably safe to assume that it will use an Xclipse GPU just like its predecessor. We saw the first glimpse of the Nothing Phone (3). More specifically, a macro shot of a part of the phone. Not much we can get from it, but perfectly in line with Nothing's style. Motorola's Moto G family is soon going to get another member, the Moto G96. It will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC and we saw images of it. The phone will boast 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. It will have a 6.67-inch pOLED curved screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a 5,500 mAh battery. On the rear, there's a 50 MP main camera using Sony's Lytia LYT-700C sensor, and an 8 MP macro camera. For selfies, you'll get a 32 MP snapper on the front. The device will be offered in Cattleya Orchid, Dresden Blue, Greener Pastures, and Ashleigh Blue colorways. It's expected to cost around INR 22,990 when it lands in India, which right now translates into approximately $270. It's unclear what other markets it might launch in. It hasn't yet been seen on the market. The new premium model will be unveiled in July. It will expand the G family even further. The vanilla costs INR 8,999, which is about $105/€90. The Realme GT 7 and GT 7T made their global debut. The GT 7 uses the Dimensity 9400e chipset and features a 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, 50 MP main and 2x telephoto cameras and an 8 MP ultrawide shooter. It's powered by a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging. The GT 7T uses the Dimensity 8400-Max, and lacks a zoom camera, but has the same 7,000mAh battery. The Pixel 10 Pro (or Pixel 10 Pro XL) was spotted on a public beach in Vancouver, Canada, where it was filmed for a TV ad. The video crew wasn't working hard on keeping the phone a mystery, and the person who stumbled upon the set even got a glance at the storyboard (a visual script of all scenes that make up the video clip). Google will launch the Pixel 10 with a new camera feature that will allow users to add multiple people to the same shot. The Pixel 10 series could come in August. The latest flagship killers bring Dimensity chipsets and massive 7,000mAh batteries with 120W charging. It could be the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL. Comes in four different variants. OnePlus announced a slew of AI features, which will debut alongside the OnePlus 13s. The phone has a dedicated Plus Key on the side, replacing the iconic Alert slider. The new key will summon the AI Mind Space, a place that collects and catalogs information that it can recall later for you. The RedMagic 10S Pro launched in China with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition SoC and up to 24GB of RAM. Keeping the temperatures in check is what is known as the ICE-X Cooling System, which uses liquid metal and active air cooling. The company claims it has 250% enhanced thermal conductivity and a 30% larger heat dissipation area that lowers CPU temperatures by an additional 5°C. The Red Magic 10S Pro has a massive 7,500mAh battery with 120W charging, a 6.85-inch 144Hz OLED, and is now on sale. The new customizable Plus Key on the OnePlus 13s to play a major role in accessing these features. Global launch to follow on June 5. The premium model among the trio of new earbuds from Nothing.

Deals: the Galaxy S25 Edge launches as the most expensive S25 phone, plus some iPad deals
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is now available in the US as the pre-order period ended on Friday. That means no more free storage upgrade, but it also opens a path for some discounts. Amazon pairs the S25 Edge with a $50 gift card and, if you buy the 512GB model, you will also get a $70 discount. It's not much, but the phone has been on sale for only a few days and it does mean that the difference between 256GB and 512GB is only $50. The Edge may be impressively thin (5.8mm) and light (163g), but it is also the most expensive Galaxy S25 model at the moment. Yes, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a higher MSRP, but it also has much bigger discounts at the moment. The base 12/256GB model is $50 less than the Edge (or the same, if you include the gift card) and the 512GB model is only $20 more. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is bulkier (8.2mm, 218g), but it has a larger battery (5,000mAh vs. 3,900mAh) and a larger display (6.9' vs. 6.7'). It also has a 200MP camera and can leverage two telephoto modules for zooming in – a 50MP 5x periscope (111mm) and a 10MP 3x tele (67mm), not to mention that its ultra-wide camera has a 50MP sensor (vs. 12MP). The extra bulk also helps with cooling, so the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy has better sustained performance in the Ultra than in the Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is the same height and width as the Edge, though it is thicker and heavier (7.3mm, 190g) – check out the 3D comparison to see how they stack up. The Plus doesn't have a 200MP camera – instead it is equipped with a 50MP main and a 10MP 3x (67mm) tele, its ultra-wide is the same as on the Edge (12MP). The battery is 1,000mAh bigger than the Edge. And here is the best part – the S25+ is $350 less than the S25 Edge. If weight is a concern, the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25 weighs 162g – that's 1g less than the Edge. Impressive engineering on the Edge, considering that the vanilla model has a 6.2' display, not a 6.7' one. However, the battery continues to embarrass the Edge – it is the smallest in the S25 family with the vanilla model beating it by 100mAh. The camera situation is the same as on the S25+. In terms of price, the S25 is under $700. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is even cheaper – the 8/128GB model is $545 at the moment, but you probably want the 256GB model as storage will get pretty tight over the years. That one is $610 – just $75 less than the vanilla S25 and $140 less than the S25+. The FE has a 6.7' screen like the S25+ (well, not quite, it's not an LTPO panel) and a similar camera setup (50MP main, 8MP 3x/75mm tele and 12MP ultra-wide). However, it uses the Exynos 2400e – a good chip, but not as good as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. You may want to spend extra and get an S25 flagship model as the savings with the FE aren't that big. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ is a 12.4' tablet powered by the Dimensity 9300+. It has DeX multitasking in all its forms – on its own screen and on external ones (both wired and wireless). The tablet is rated IP68 for water resistance and ships with an S Pen. It has expandable storage, four AKG speakers and a 10,090mAh battery with 45W charging. We also checked out Apple's offerings and the iPad starts at just over $300. This is the refreshed model from March with the Apple A16 chip – making it the one current iPad not to support Apple Intelligence. Oh well. This slate has an 11' IPS LCD (60Hz, of course) with Apple Pencil support. The Apple iPad Air 11 and 13 were also refreshed in March and now feature Apple M3 chips. These are massively powerful, but iPadOS doesn't quite know what to do with all that power. Yes, there is Stage Manager (Apple's multitasking solution for iPad), but it's not on the same level as DeX. Even the 13' Air costs less than the Galaxy Tab S10+, though, so it should be considered. Note that storage is not expandable. You can go a step up in power with the Apple iPad Pro 11 and 13 – these have the Apple M4. Again, you can't get quite as much use out of the M-series chip as you would with a MacBook. Still, the Pros have better displays – bright tandem OLEDs with 120Hz refresh rate, compared to the 60Hz IPS LCDs of the Airs. Note that the variants linked below have the regular glass. If you get a 1TB or 2TB model, you can also pick the nano-textured glass option (which cuts down on reflections), but that is a $100 upgrade (on top of a pricey storage upgrade). The Apple iPad mini was refreshed late last year – with an Apple A17 Pro chipset, which does run Apple Intelligence. The petite tablet is up to $100, depending on which storage option you pick. We don't see many small tablets with high-end chips these days, making the iPad mini something of a rarity. Finally, we noticed that the PlayStation 5 Pro is $50 off its launch price. That caught our eye because Sony recently raised prices in other parts of the world. Sony PlayStation 5 Pro $50 off You can also pick up an additional controller – the basic DualSense or the DualSense Edge. The Edge has extra controls (paddles on the back), remappable buttons and replaceable analog sticks. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Deals: the Galaxy S25 series comes with a free tablet, Google Pixels heavily discounted
Amazon UK is offering a free Galaxy Tab A9+ with its whole flagship line – but that's just the cherry on top. There are discounts across the board and you also get £100 Samsung Credit with each phone. This offer ends on June 26 – more details on how to claim the tablet here. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra deal is pretty wild – the phone is £150 off, then you get an additional £150 off at checkout. This drops the price of the 256GB model to below £1,000. Don't forget about the free tablet and Samsung Credit either. But the price is interesting because £1,000 is how much you would spend on an S25+ right now (despite discounts) and is £100 less than the S25 Edge price (not necessarily, read below). Speaking of, here is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. With pre-orders done, you actually have to pay extra for the upgrade to 512GB. However, a discount, some credit and a free tablet help soften the blow. Even more so if you are a Prime or Prime Student subscriber. The Galaxy S25+ is just not worth it at the moment – the 512GB variant has a minor discount, the 256GB has none, so they are just £21 apart. But you'd be better off getting the S25 Ultra – the 256GB variant is cheaper! The vanilla Galaxy S25 has a discount on all storage capacities, dropping it to £700 for the base 128GB. Keep that price in mind as we head over to the Pixel side of the store. The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL are £300 off. With that, the smaller Pro costs the same as the vanilla S25 – despite having 4GB more RAM and proper 48MP sensors in the periscope (5x vs. 10MP 3x on the Galaxy) and ultra-wide cameras. Here's a detailed comparison between the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL. As for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the 256GB variant is £50 less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. You don't get a free tablet, but you do get a £50 coupon for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. This coupon is available for all current Pixels except the a-models. Here's the Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra head-to-head article. If you want a smaller phone but don't want to spend Pro money, the Pixel 9 is £100 less than the 9 Pro. You can check out our Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article, but the better cameras and extra perks are a great upgrade for the price. For an actually cheap Google phone there are the Pixel 9a and 8a. The latter is a 2024 model, which means it uses the less-than-perfect Tensor G3, but it is around £100 cheaper than the 9a. Google Pixel 8a £177 off Read our review 8/128GB - £324 at Amazon UK Unlike the 8a and 9a, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold does come with a £50 coupon for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. However, even with a hefty £450 discount it is still quite pricey. Not as pricey as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, though, itself with a decent discount – and £100 Samsung Credit and a free Galaxy Tab A9+. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is also part of the offer with a nice discount of its own, Samsung Credit and the free tablet. Of course, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are a couple of months away from launch and they will have early bird deals – though their prices probably won't go this low for quite a while.
