The device is 4G-only, and comes with NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, a single "ultra-high volume" speaker, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and it runs Android 15 with Realme UI on top.

Samsung details how Galaxy Watch8 can help you prevent bad health habits
Samsung has detailed all the ways its latest Galaxy Watch8 series' health sensor and software enable preventive health care, by using insights from the smartwatches to help you build healthy habits. The Galaxy Watch8 series has enhanced ECG technology that can detect ectopic beats - premature heartbeats that often go unnoticed but can lead to arrhythmias, and even stroke or heart failure, if left untreated. Then there are the vascular load monitoring during sleep and an antioxidant index - both new on the Watch8 series. The vascular load monitoring uses PPG waveform to judge blood flow and vessel stiffness. Should the Watch8 deem your data troubling, it can then give you tips on lifestyle changes to reduce cardiovascular risk. This goes hand in hand with bedtime guidance, which tracks your circadian rhythms and sleep pressure to suggest your optimal sleep time. To give you a 0-100 Antioxidant Index, the Watch8 measures the carotenoids in your skin to gauge your fruit and vegetable intake. Samsung uses all of this data for early detection of issues and for forming long-term wellbeing.

You've gotta really love Samsung to want the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE
Galaxy S24 FE . | Image credit – PhoneArena Samsung drops a Fan Edition of its Galaxy S series every year like clockwork, and it looks like the Galaxy S25 FE is next in line. Leaks are already spilling everything from specs to price, and spoiler alert – the price might actually stay the same as last year. That's $650, in case you forgot. Which, let's be real, is already brushing up way too close to the base Galaxy S25 . So yeah, keeping the price flat is probably a smart move. Hike it up again and the whole point of the FE line just vanishes into thin air. But that's exactly what we need to talk about. Even at $650, is the Galaxy S25 FE still worth it? Or are there better phones sitting in that same price tier? Because if Samsung's not changing the price, it's also not really changing the phone. The Galaxy S25 FE recently leaked in four color options. Expected to land in September, the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up to be... well, more of the same. Leaks say it's getting a sleeker, thinner design with slimmer bezels. So yeah, it'll look more modern. But inside? Basically copy-paste from the Galaxy S24 FE. We are still talking about a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. And the camera setup? Identical to both the S24 FE and the base Galaxy S24: 50 MP main with OIS 12 MP ultra-wide 8 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom Which, to be fair, is a solid trio. The S24 FE already delivered great camera results, so you are not getting bad performance – just not better either. Inside, it is expected to run on the Exynos 2400, with 8 GB RAM and your choice of 128 GB or 256 GB storage. You might finally get 45W fast charging, but full battery details are still under wraps. It'll launch with Android 16 and One UI 8, plus a healthy promise of 7 years of OS and security updates. Galaxy AI will also be baked in – because what's a 2025 phone without a little sprinkle of AI, right? So to sum it up: probably, the biggest upgrades are a thinner body and lighter build. Everything else? Basically, déjà vu. Okay, but what else can you buy for $650? Here's where things get tricky. Even if you like what Samsung is offering, the competition makes the S25 FE a tougher sell. First up, the Pixel 9a. Pixel 9a launched earlier this year. | Image credit – PhoneArena This phone starts at $499 – and if you're lucky, even lower. As of now, you can snag it for $399 directly from Google. That's a whole $250 less than the S25 FE. Google Pixel 9a review: the best candidate for your $500? It's got a smaller 6.3-inch screen, but it packs a big 5,100 mAh battery – the biggest ever in a Pixel. It is smooth, snappy and absolutely swimming in AI features and Google Assistant smarts. Galaxy S25 FE vs Pixel 9a: The bona-fide affordable flagship battle Yes, it runs the stripped-down Gemini Nano XXS, not the bigger XS model used in the regular Pixel 9, so it lacks features like Call Notes. But unless you're deep into AI-generated bullet points, you probably won't care. You still get 7 years of updates, just like Samsung promises. And while the Galaxy S25 FE wins in the camera hardware game, that price difference is hard to ignore. Next up: why not just get the regular Galaxy S25 instead? It starts at $799, but Samsung (and every US carrier, including T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T) loves a good discount, and it is not unusual to see it drop close to $650 during sales or way lower with trade-in options. And honestly? That makes the FE model feel kinda pointless. The base S25 gives you a proper flagship experience – better chip, better build, and overall, more bang for your buck when it's discounted. Then there's the OnePlus 13R . Now this one's interesting. OnePlus 13R is the cheaper version of the flagship OnePlus 13. | Image credit – PhoneArena At $599.99, it's cheaper and more powerful than the S25 FE in some key areas. It runs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, has 12 GB of RAM (yes, twelve) and comes with a huge 6,000 mAh battery – the biggest on this list. OnePlus 13R Review: The best flagship-killer from OnePlus is here It is wrapped in Gorilla Glass 7i and aluminum, with a clean OxygenOS 15 experience powered by – you guessed it – more AI. It's future-proof, snappy, and bold in design. Downsides? No wireless charging, no microSD card support, and the cameras are still not up to Pixel or Samsung level. But everything else? Pretty great. It makes the FE feel like it's stuck in a safe zone.

And that's my big question – who exactly is this phone supposed to be for? It's not affordable enough to attract budget buyers. Samsung already has the Galaxy A series for that, with the Galaxy A17 right around the corner. But it's also not exciting or competitive enough to shine in the mid-range crowd. It just kind of... exists. And not in a good way. To be fair, Apple is playing the same game with its iPhone 16e – also going for $600 with watered-down specs. So this isn't just a Samsung problem. It's a "we're not sure why these mid-rangers exist anymore" problem. If flagship prices stay steady – and that's a big if – then honestly, these $650 "not-quite-flagships" start looking more like filler than value. And for $650, the Galaxy S25 FE just doesn't bring enough to the table to justify itself – not when the regular Galaxy S25 and multiple Android alternatives are right there, flexing harder. I'm not saying the Galaxy S25 FE is a bad phone – but I am saying it's getting really hard to justify its existence. If Samsung wants this lineup to matter, it either needs to lower the price or actually push the spec sheet forward. Right now, it's stuck in a no-man's-land between the A series and the S flagships. And with more phones offering more power, better design, or smarter software for the same price – or less – it might be time to ask: do we really need another FE? Because right now, the only thing "fan edition" about this phone is the fact that you really have to be a fan to pick it over the alternatives.

Extra 25% import tariff on Indian goods puts Apple in jeopardy ahead of iPhone 17 launch
The Trump administration is enforcing a new 25% tariff on all imports from India, which brings the total levies to 50%, currently making for the highest tariff rate on any country. The latest executive order will go into effect on August 27, with the reasoning behind the new levies based on India's imports of Russian oil. The move would be a major setback for Apple as Cupertino has been transitioning its iPhone manufacturing to India over the past years with plans to assemble all of its US iPhones in the country. The timing is specifically bad as Apple is expected to begin shipping its iPhone 17 series around that time ahead of their announcement in early September. An estimated 14% of all iPhones are made in India, and the number is expected to reach 25% by the end of this year. Apple has been making strides in establishing India as its leading device manufacturing hub following its supply chain diversification away from China. In related news, Trump also warned of a possible 100% tariff on all foreign semiconductor imports. Companies that invest in manufacturing facilities in the US would be exempt from the levies. Makers of semiconductor derivative products like smartphones, tablets and laptops would also be exempt if they have committed to or are in the process of moving manufacturing to the US. Source
