These are (most likely) nearly all of the key Samsung Galaxy S25 FE specs

Phone Arena10 hours ago
With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE officially up for grabs now and the Galaxy S26 family unlikely to see daylight before January 2026, the most exciting Samsung phone left to be unveiled this year is probably the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition. Well, that and the as-yet-unnamed tri-fold device... very few of you will actually be able to buy once it's released at some point this fall. As you can imagine, the S25 FE is not shaping up to revolutionize the affordable Android flagship class, instead merely aiming to refine the design of its beloved predecessor while only improving a couple of key internal components. Pretty much all components (including the ones unlikely to be changed from the Galaxy S24 FE) are now out of the bag thanks to two equally reliable online sources, although one very important detail remains unclear. 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate technology;
Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection;
Samsung Exynos 2400 processor;
8GB RAM;
128 and 256GB storage options;
50MP primary rear-facing camera with OIS and f/1.8 aperture;
12MP secondary ultra-wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture;
8MP tertiary telephoto sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 3x optical zoom;
12MP single front-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture;
Android 16 with One UI 8 ;
with ; Galaxy AI ;
; 45W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities;
IP68 water and dust resistance;
161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4mm dimensions;
190 grams weight. Yes, a lot of these specs are bound to feel weirdly familiar to a lot of hardcore Samsung fans. That screen, the RAM count, the two storage variants, and all four cameras sound pretty much identical to what the Galaxy S24 FE offers in the same departments, and the Exynos 2400 SoC is not a big improvement over last year's Exynos 2400e either.

But then you've got a very interesting (and long overdue) upgrade from 25 to 45W charging technology, and perhaps even more impressively, radical weight and depth reductions from 213 grams and 8mm to 190 grams and 7.4mm respectively.
In a nutshell, Samsung is preparing to squeeze essentially all the same S24 FE internals into a significantly sleeker Fan Edition package this year, which sounds like a great engineering achievement in line with what the company is expected to do with the Galaxy S26 roster early next year. Something crucial that could make or break the Galaxy S25 FE's chances at becoming a big global box-office hit. Yes, the battery capacity. That's an especially delicate topic for a device expected to slim down its forerunner, which might explain the current lack of clarity in the rumor mill.

At the same time, Samsung is likely to pull off the impossible with the Galaxy S26 Edge in 2026, further reducing the S25 Edge's incredibly thin profile while beefing up the battery capacity, which could happen (at least in theory) with the S25 FE as well.
If the Galaxy S25 FE does end up pairing a hefty 4,900mAh battery with the aforementioned 45W charging tech, Samsung could well have a box-office winner on its hands, especially if the S25 FE's price points remain unchanged, which is obviously more than likely at this point.

New iPhone 17 Air battery leak might make you reevaluate the Galaxy S25 Edge

If you've been expecting Apple to outclass Samsung in terms of battery size in the newly established ultra-thin flagship phone category this year, then... you've probably not paid much attention to the iPhone 17 Air rumors floating around these last few months. The first-of-a-kind iOS handset expected to go up against the Galaxy S25 Edge starting next month has long been tipped (by more than one source) to pack a sub-3,000mAh cell, and now there's cold hard evidence supporting that theory. Obviously, no one knows the answer to that question (for sure) at the moment, but the freshly leaked images purporting to show the phone's battery paint quite a spectacular picture. Unfortunately, they also make it virtually impossible for the iPhone 17 Air to break the aforementioned 3,000mAh cell capacity barrier, with the exact number instead being very likely to sit at "approximately" 2,900mAh. That's a crazy thin battery by any standards. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu All this information comes from an insider who's been right about some things in the past and wrong about a few others, so it's not technically etched in stone just yet. But there's rarely (this much) smoke without fire around an unannounced product in the rumor mill, so you can probably say that the iPhone 17 Air is essentially guaranteed now to pack a considerably smaller battery than its direct rival. Yes, this astoundingly thin 2,900mAh cell might make the Galaxy S25 Edge look like a battery life champion considering that Samsung's 6.7-inch Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse with a 5.8mm waist stands at no less than 3,900mAh in the battery size department. Our Galaxy S25 Edge review, remember, was not exactly glowing with battery endurance praise, so you can imagine that the iPhone 17 Air is likely to deliver even lower numbers between charges if the 2,900mAh capacity rumor pans out. Of course, Apple does have a knack of squeezing the best possible times out of smaller batteries than the competition, but in this particular case, the tech giant may need a miracle to play in the same league as Samsung. And that's before the Galaxy S26 Edge will allegedly take things to the next level in early 2026 with a 4,400 or 4,500mAh battery. Pretty bad, I'm afraid, with last year's "vanilla" iPhone 16, for instance, standing at close to 3,600mAh, and this year's base iPhone 17 likely to more or less keep that figure unchanged. You have to go back to something like the 2020-released iPhone 12 to find a sub-3,000mAh battery (2,815mAh, to be specific) in a non-diminutive Apple handset, with 2021's iPhone 13 mini, of course, packing an even smaller 2,438mAh cell. Believe it or not, that's (allegedly) the iPhone 17 Air battery next to the iPhone 17 Pro battery. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu The problem with the iPhone 17 Air is that its screen size is rumored to come much closer to the 7-inch mark than 6 or 6.5 inches, so it's really hard to be optimistic that a 2,900mAh battery will be able to keep such a gargantuan (and undoubtedly high-resolution) Super Retina display going for reasonable times between charges. Sub-par battery life could prove especially problematic if the razor-thin device ends up costing $900 or more, as a number of sources have claimed in recent months. The iPhone 17 Air , remember, is likely to act as a follow-up of sorts to the rather unpopular iPhone 16 Plus, which starts at $899 in the US with a "normal" 7.8mm profile, large 6.7-inch screen, and fittingly hefty 4,700mAh or so battery.

Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ review

Tecno's Spark lineup has long been synonymous with budget-friendly smartphones that punch well above their price tag, and the new Spark 40 Pro+ is no exception. Announced in July 2025, this upper-tier Spark model aims to deliver a feature-rich experience that rivals more expensive competitors - all while maintaining an impressively low asking price of around $200. Despite the entry-level pricing, the Spark 40 Pro+ comes across as anything but basic. It's built around a vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and an impressive 4500 nits peak brightness - a spec sheet highlight that immediately sets it apart from the typical budget crowd. Protection duties are handled by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, while the body is IP64-rated and drop resistant up to 1.5m, offering durability rarely seen at this price point. Powering the device is the MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, a relatively new 6nm platform paired with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. While it's not a 5G-capable chip, it promises solid 4G performance and good efficiency, especially when paired with the large 5,200 mAh battery and 45W wired plus 30W wireless charging - yes, wireless charging on a phone that costs only $200. Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ specs at a glance: Body: 163.9x75.8x6.5mm, 160g; Plastic body, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i front; IP64 dust tight and water resistant (water splashes), Drop resistant up to 1.5m. 163.9x75.8x6.5mm, 160g; Plastic body, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i front; IP64 dust tight and water resistant (water splashes), Drop resistant up to 1.5m.

Photography duties are handled by a 50MP main camera with PDAF and dual-LED flash, capable of recording up to 1440p@30fps, while selfies are captured via a 13MP front shooter, also with dual-LED flash. Both cameras benefit from gyro-EIS stabilization. On the multimedia front, the Spark 40 Pro+ continues to impress with stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and support for Hi-Res Audio, both wired and wireless. You even get extras like an infrared port, FM radio, and reverse charging (wired and wireless) - features that have vanished from many modern midrangers. The Spark 40 Pro+ may not be a flagship killer, but it brings an impressive set of features, performance, and versatility to the budget segment. Let's see if it holds up under closer inspection. Unboxing The Spark 40 Pro+ ships in a rigid cardboard box that looks quite reassuring. Plus, there is a cradle on the inside for the actual phone, so there is little possibility of damage during shipping. Tecno's accessory package is extensive. You get a charger in the box - 45W, Tecno branded, plus a USB Type-A to Type-C cable. From what we can tell, the cable isn't proprietary and does not have extra pins, which is good. Also in the box is a grey soft TPU case for the phone, as well as a tempered glass screen protector and a kit to properly clean the display and apply it. Honestly, short of a pair of earbuds, there's not much else that could have been included in the box. Page 2

iPhone 17 Air's shockingly thin battery poses for the camera

Following a slightly confusing turn of events, we saw a report from last week claiming to showcase the iPhone 17 Air's battery, which later turned out to be the cell for the iPhone 17 Pro. We now have actual images of the iPhone 17 Air battery thanks to a post on Korean blog Naver. The images showcase a similar-looking L-shaped battery encased in a steel sheet like the iPhone 17 Pro's battery. iPhone 17 Air battery compared to iPhone 17 Pro's battery As per the new report, iPhone 17 Air's battery is just 2.49mm thick, including the metal casing. That's about three credit cards stacked on top of each other. As we can see in the second image, the 17 Air's battery is noticeably thinner compared to the 17 Pro's. This will be needed as Apple's thinnest phone to date is allegedly just 5.5 mm thick. A thin device like that will naturally feature less battery capacity than what we're used to. As per the latest rumors, the 17 Air's cell packs around 2,900 mAh of charge – a far cry from the iPhone 16 Plus (which the 17 Air is replacing) and its 4,674mAh cell. iPhone 17 Air (bottom) compared to iPhone 16 Plus (top) The iPhone 13 mini from 2021 was the last iPhone to feature a sub-3,000mAh battery, and that device powered a 5.4-inch screen, whereas the 17 Air is rumored to bring a 6.9-inch display. It remains to be seen if Apple will employ a silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery to help boost the 17 Air's endurance. Source (in Korean)
