Wondering who bought the Galaxy S25 Edge? Turns out, A lot of people did.
TL;DR A Twitter leaker has posted purported Galaxy S25 series sales data, including figures for the S25 Edge.
The figures suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge sold 650,000 units during its first month of sales.
The numbers also point to significant growth for the Galaxy S25 series compared to the S24 series.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge a few months ago, and initial reports suggested that it saw lower-than-expected sales. Now, a leaker has posted apparent Galaxy S25 series sales data, which might give us a better idea.
Twitter tipster Ice Universe posted a table showing apparent Galaxy S25 series sales data compared to the Galaxy S24 series. The data was collected until the end of June. Check out the screenshot below.
We do have to exercise plenty of caution about these figures, though. The source of this data isn't clear, so it's entirely possible these figures aren't anywhere near accurate. Nevertheless, this table would tell an interesting story if it is indeed accurate.
The table suggests that Samsung sold 20.22 million Galaxy S25 series phones between January and June. The Galaxy S25 Edge only hit the market on May 30, so its purported 650,000 unit figure reflects a month of sales. This figure doesn't tell us much, as it's unclear how the other Galaxy S25 series phones fared following their first month of sales. However, it's worth noting that the Edge was released in fewer markets than the mainline S25 phones. Either way, it may have helped Samsung achieve 20 million units sold.
Otherwise, the purported figures show that the Galaxy S25 series achieved healthy growth over the S24 series. The three main S25 models may have achieved significant growth over their predecessors, ranging from 7.1% to 11.6%. The Ultra phone was apparently the most popular model once again, at 9.64 million units sold, followed by the base S25 (6.07 million) and then the Plus variant (3.85 million).
Again, we can't verify the source of these figures, so we'd recommend you take them with a pinch of salt for now. What seems more certain, however, is that Samsung might reshuffle the Galaxy S26 series. We discovered evidence that Samsung could drop the base Galaxy S26 in favor of a Galaxy S26 Pro, while the S26 Plus could make way for the Galaxy S26 Edge. So it seems like the Edge model might live on in 2026.

The Smartest High-Yield Energy Stocks to Buy With $2,000 Right Now
Key Points The energy sector is seeing a big shift, with the world moving from dirtier energy sources to cleaner ones. TotalEnergies is an integrated energy giant that's got a big yield and a growing electricity business. Enbridge is a high-yield midstream giant shifting toward natural gas and dipping into renewable power. 10 stocks we like better than Enbridge › Between 2020 and 2050, electricity is expected to rise from 21% of final energy use in the United States to 32%. That's a huge change and one that is directionally similar to the changes taking shape throughout the world. Some energy companies are sticking to their oil and natural gas roots. Others, like TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE) and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB), see the writing on the wall and are preparing now. If you have $2,000 to invest today, getting ahead of the curve could be a good call for your portfolio. What do TotalEnergies and Enbridge do? TotalEnergies is what is known as an integrated energy company. It has operations in the upstream (oil and natural gas production), the midstream (pipelines), and the downstream (chemicals and refining). Each of these segments of the broader energy sector operates a little differently through the energy cycle. And, thus, having an integrated business model helps to soften the peaks and valleys inherent to this commodity-driven business. Enbridge is focused on the midstream space. It essentially collects tolls from customers that use its energy transportation assets, including things like pipelines and storage. This model provides reliable cash flows as the volume passing through its midstream system is more important than the price of oil and natural gas. Focusing on the midstream is a good call for investors who want energy exposure but who would rather avoid commodity risk. What are TotalEnergies and Enbridge doing differently? Basically, the core of both of these businesses is still oil and natural gas. That's not a bad thing. Although there is an energy transition taking place, it is likely to be a decades-long affair. They are, thus, using profits from dirtier energy sources to fund their investment into cleaner energy sources, like renewable power. For example, both TotalEnergies and Enbridge have been investing in renewable power like solar and wind. TotalEnergies has also been buying electric utility businesses. Enbridge, meanwhile, has also been focused on increasing its exposure to reliable natural gas businesses, like regulated natural gas utility operations, which are expected to be important transitional assets as the world moves in a green direction. To be fair, neither TotalEnergies nor Enbridge is jumping in with both feet here. They are dipping their toes in, slowly building businesses as the world begins its transition away from carbon fuels. The idea is to change with the world, while many of their peers are simply sticking it out as long as they can with carbon fuels. If you like the idea of hedging your bets, however, TotalEnergies and Enbridge will be good choices for you. With $2,000, you can buy around 33 shares of TotalEnergies and 42 of Enbridge. You'll be rewarded with big yields, too The energy transition angle is interesting on its own. But the big story is that TotalEnergies has a lofty 6.5% dividend yield while Enbridge's yield sits at 5.9%. The average energy stock's yield is around 3.4%. And both have long histories of supporting dividends through the market cycle. Enbridge's record is better, with 30 annual increases. TotalEnergies' resilience shone through during the coronavirus pandemic when it maintained its dividend even as its European peers cut their dividends. There is one caveat here. Both Enbridge and TotalEnergies are foreign companies, so investors have to pay foreign taxes (a portion of which U.S. investors can claim back come tax time). And the actual dividends collected will vary along with exchange rates. But if you want to have energy exposure, collect large dividends, and prepare today for a future that's "cleaner", these two energy giants should be on your radar right now.

The Real Reason You Haven't Been Replaced by AI Yet
It's the ticking time bomb in the global economy, and every CEO knows it: AI is already powerful enough to replace millions of jobs. So why haven't the mass layoffs begun? The answer has little to do with technology and everything to do with fear. Corporate leaders are quietly waiting to see who will be the first to pull the trigger. My discussions about Generative AI reveal a stark generational divide. Most people under 35 are convinced that AI is a reality, not a gimmick, and that the displacement of human workers is an urgent, present-day issue. For many over 35, the assessment is more cautious; they believe the replacement will happen, but not for another five or ten years. The problem is that the second group is several steps behind. The AI revolution isn't being held back because the technology isn't ready. It's being held back for political reasons. CEOs are nervously looking at each other, waiting for someone else to make the first move and announce that they are eliminating a significant number of jobs because AI can do the work faster and cheaper. They are tiptoeing around what they already know. And they are telegraphing their intentions subliminally. Take Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp. During an interview with CNBC in August, he said: 'We're planning to grow our revenue … while decreasing our number of people.' Karp then continued: 'This is a crazy, efficient revolution. The goal is to get 10x revenue and have 3,600 people. We have now 4,100.' The subtext is clear: Palantir already considers 500 of its employees to be a surplus that AI could replace. It could increase its revenue by 10x while reducing its workforce by almost 12.2%. Look at Amazon. The company has more than one million robots (Hercules, Pegasus, and Proteus, its fully autonomous robot) in its facilities and believes that AI will help increase its robot mobility by 10%. The number of its robots is nearly equivalent to the 1.546 million people (full-time and part-time) that the company employs globally. CEO Andy Jassy has already warned his workforce of what's to come. 'We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' Jassy told employees in a memo last June. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce.' CEOs are waiting for political cover that isn't coming. None of them want to become the poster child for the revolution that killed human jobs in America. They don't want to become the target of politicians, knowing that on this issue, the attacks will come from both the populist left and the populist right. The problem is that politicians are just as unprepared as the over-35s. They seem to believe this is a problem for the next administration, a challenge for a few years down the road. They are wrong. The problem is here now. The questions are urgent: what will the displaced workers do? What safety nets need to be built? What happens to the healthcare of millions who are still a long way from retirement? These are questions politicians have not yet addressed, likely because they don't have the answers. So, for now, the CEOs are buying them time. Instead of mass firings, a quieter trend has emerged: hiring freezes. Increasingly, managers are being forced to justify why a human is needed for a role that an AI could potentially perform. This is already devastating the job market for young people. According to Handshake, a career platform for Gen Z employees, job listings for entry-level corporate roles have declined 15% over the past year. And for those who still think the great displacement is far away, the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported a few days ago that AI is already one of the top five factors contributing to job losses this year. Companies have announced over 806,000 private-sector job cuts since January, the highest number for that period since 2020. The tech industry is leading the charge. The machine is in motion. It's not that AI can't replace us, especially in knowledge jobs. It's that your boss doesn't yet have the courage to tell you they're firing you for a robot. They don't want to be the villain. They're waiting for one of their peers to be crucified before they enter the stage. But for how long?

Exclusive-SK Hynix expects AI memory market to grow 30% a year to 2030
By Heekyong Yang and Max A. Cherney SEOUL/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -South Korea's SK Hynix forecasts that the market for a specialized form of memory chip designed for artificial intelligence will grow 30% a year until 2030, a senior executive said in an interview with Reuters. The upbeat projection for global growth in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for use in AI brushes off concern over rising price pressures in a sector that for decades has been treated like commodities such as oil or coal. "AI demand from the end user is pretty much, very firm and strong," said SK Hynix's Choi Joon-yong, the head of HBM business planning at SK Hynix. The billions of dollars in AI capital spending that cloud computing companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet's Google are projecting will likely be revised upwards in the future, which would be "positive" for the HBM market, Choi said. The relationship between AI build-outs and HBM purchases is "very straightforward" and there is a correlation between the two, Choi said. SK Hynix's projections are conservative and include constraints such as available energy, he said. But the memory business is undergoing a significant strategic change during this period as well. HBM - a type of dynamic random access memory or DRAM standard first produced in 2013 - involves stacking chips vertically to save space and reduce power consumption, helping to process the large volumes of data generated by complex AI applications. SK Hynix expects this market for custom HBM to grow to tens of billions of dollars by 2030, Choi said. Due to technological changes in the way SK Hynix and rivals such as Micron Technology and Samsung Electronics build next-generation HBM4, their products include a customer-specific logic die, or "base die", that helps manage the memory. That means it is no longer possible to easily replace a rival's memory product with a nearly identical chip or product. Part of SK Hynix's optimism for future HBM market growth includes the likelihood that customers will want even further customisation than what SK Hynix already does, Choi said. At the moment it is mostly larger customers such as Nvidia that receive individual customisation, while smaller clients get a traditional one-size-fits-all approach. "Each customer has different taste," Choi said, adding that some want specific performance or power characteristics. SK Hynix is currently the main HBM supplier to Nvidia, although Samsung and Micron supply it with smaller volumes. Last week, Samsung cautioned during its earnings conference call that current generation HBM3E supply would likely outpace demand growth in the near term, a shift that could weigh on prices. "We are confident to provide, to make the right competitive product to the customers," Choi said. 100% TARIFFS U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States would impose a tariff of about 100% on semiconductor chips imported from countries not producing in America or planning to do so. Choi declined to comment on the tariffs. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office the new tariff rate would apply to "all chips and semiconductors coming into the United States," but would not apply to companies that were already manufacturing in the United States or had made a commitment to do so. Trump's comments were not a formal tariff announcement, and the president offered no further specifics. South Korea's top trade envoy Yeo Han-koo said on Thursday that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix would not be subject to the 100% tariffs on chips if they were implemented. Samsung has invested in two chip fabrication plants in Austin and Taylor, Texas, and SK Hynix has announced plans to build an advanced chip packaging plant and an artificial intelligence research and development facility in Indiana. South Korea's chip exports to the United States were valued at $10.7 billion last year, accounting for 7.5% of its total chip exports. Some HBM chips are exported to Taiwan for packaging, accounting for 18% of South Korea's chip exports in 2024, a 127% increase from the previous year.
