Best Phone in 2025
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is regarded by experts as the best phone available currently: Samsung has pushed the boundaries of hardware and software by integrating artificial intelligence at every level to deliver a seamless user experience. At the heart of the phone is the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor which offers lightning-quick performance for lag-free multitasking and media consumption. The huge 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers stunning colors and clear graphics so whether it's work or gaming, everything is a treat. Its battery life is long enough for you to use during a whole day (and maybe even more) of heavy usage without needing to worry that you'll be running out of power, which makes it ideal for business people, influencers, and others who use their phone all day long.
You will also adore its AI-driven camera system: The Galaxy S25 Ultra features a high-end quad-camera setup, including a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a second telephoto lens for versatile photography. The Audio Eraser camera captures stunning video in challenging low-light environments and eliminates background noise. So that you can relive your most cherished moments with less distraction and greater sharpness. The portrait features are optimized to sharpen skin tones while preserving natural texture so that each photo looks professional and stylish.
Other than photography, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is also great at keeping your day simple through its wide usage of AI: With features like 'Multiple Tasks With One Ask,' you can keep your day simple by instructing your phone to perform several tasks all at the same time with a single request. For example, you can have it search for a nearby vegan pet-friendly restaurant and text the results to a friend in one shot. It's this combination of premium hardware—like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and multi-purpose camera array—with smart AI features that makes the Galaxy S25 Ultra such a compelling choice for those seeking the best in performance and innovation.
If you're looking for a premium AI smartphone that makes life easier, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a great pick at its lowest price ever.

Trump Officials Weighed Broader China Tech Restrictions Ahead of Trade Talks

Commerce Department officials weighed new export limits on critical technology going to China ahead of recent trade talks in London, adding to the Trump administration's arsenal if tensions between Washington and Beijing escalate again. The Commerce Department unit overseeing export controls in recent weeks weighed tougher limits on semiconductors, including cutting off sales to China of a wider swath of chip-manufacturing equipment, people familiar with the matter said. Such a move would have covered equipment used to make everyday semiconductors, expanding beyond existing export limits on equipment for producing advanced chips.

Florida budget puts millions in reserves as economic uncertainty brews. Here's a look by the numbers

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — On the 105th day of what was supposed to be a 60-day session, Florida lawmakers gave final approval to a leaner state budget totaling $115.1 billion, marking the end of a lawmaking season that was largely defined by inter-party clashes in the Republican-dominated capitol . The new budget lacks some of the top priorities of legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, coming in $500 million less than the governor's proposed budget, and $3.5 billion less than last year's adjusted total, a goal of conservative lawmakers focused on scaling back state spending amid concerns of a broader economic slowdown . The state's legislative leaders had debated for weeks over competing tax cut proposals, initially pushing for broad sales tax relief for everyday Floridians before settling on a package that mostly benefits businesses. 'I don't view this on day 105 as a failure,' Republican Senate President Ben Albritton said. 'We dug in deep.' The budget now goes to the governor, who has the power to veto individual line items and is known for slashing into lawmakers' spending plans. Here's a look at Florida's budget by the numbers. While political and tropical storms loom on the horizon, Florida's legislative leaders have largely downplayed concerns about how President Donald Trump's aggressive and unpredictable economic policies could impact the state's budget, even as he pledges to phase out the federal agency that responds to hurricanes and other disasters that batter the state. But lawmakers have taken steps to shore up reserves, as forecasters warn of a busier than usual hurricane season and as economists fret over Trump's trade wars and a sweeping proposal to cut federal taxes and spending. Lawmakers crafted a compromise budget and tax cut package, which would save taxpayers and reduce state revenues by an estimated $1.3 billion a year, according to legislative staff. They've also taken steps to set aside an additional $750 million a year into a reserve fund for emergencies, pending voter approval. Republican House Speaker Daniel Perez said building up the reserves is about 'being prepared for the unexpected.' 'None of us know what the future holds,' Perez said. The legislature advanced a proposed constitutional amendment that would set aside $750 million a year — or an amount equal to up to 25% of the state's general revenue, whichever is less — into a reserve fund that lawmakers could only use for emergencies. The measure has to be approved by 60% of Florida voters to be implemented. The last time state officials tapped into the budget stabilization fund was in 2008, as the Great Recession blasted through Florida's tourism and development-heavy economy. Boosting the reserves is a prudent move, said Republican House Budget Committee Chair Lawrence McClure, and another way to cut state spending. 'We are doing this so that are we are truly prepared for a break the glass situation,' McClure said. Democrats have called the reserve fund a 'lock box' and said lawmakers should keep the funds on hand to support needy Floridians, at a time when many residents are priced out of their homes and schools and prisons are struggling to keep staff on the job. The Florida House had initially called for cutting the state's overall sales tax from 6% to 5.25%. A competing offer in the state Senate called for a tax break on clothing purchases under $75. Instead, the largest tax break lawmakers approved was for companies, by eliminating the state's business rent tax. They also approved tax cuts for a slate of special interests including casinos, airlines and NASCAR. Florida residents will get sales tax relief on hurricane supplies, sunscreen and bug spray, and a tax exemption on clothes and school supplies each August. State lawmakers are setting aside $4 billion for scholarships for private and religious education , two years after the Legislature expanded the state's voucher program to make all K-12 students eligible , regardless of family income. Since then, the state's indirect spending on private school tuition and homeschooling costs has risen dramatically, which critics warn is burning through the state's budget. Part of state lawmakers' push to cut back on what they see as government bloat is eliminating 2,238 vacant positions across state agencies from the department of health to the department of children and families. Many of the positions being cut have been vacant for three months. While the number of state jobs shrinks, state workers will receive an across-the-board 2% raise, while state law enforcement officers and firefighters will get a 10% total raise, and a 15% raise if they've been on the job for at least five years. The Legislature is also setting aside $3 million in grants for local jails that have contracted with the federal government to support immigration enforcement efforts. Florida has rushed to help the Trump administration carry out its mass deportation agenda and now leads the country in the number of local and state agencies signing on with the federal government to deputize their officers to carry out immigration enforcement. ___ Kate Payne is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Tensions Between Microsoft (MSFT) and OpenAI Reach ‘Boiling Point'

According to media reports, tensions between Microsoft (MSFT) and privately held OpenAI have reached a 'boiling point' and threaten to spill over into the U.S. courts. Confident Investing Starts Here: The Wall Street Journal was the first to report that executives at OpenAI are discussing the possibility of accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior during their current business partnership. Microsoft first partnered with OpenAI in 2019 and has since pumped $14 billion into the start-up company behind ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. In recent years, the relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI has soured to the point where OpenAI is now considering seeking a federal regulatory review of the terms of its contract with Microsoft for potential violations of antitrust laws, as well as a public campaign to discredit the technology giant. Bad Blood Such a move on the part of OpenAI would severely damage one of the most important technology partnerships in the AI field, and might even end the relationship between the two companies altogether. Analysts seem to agree that the partnership benefitted both Microsoft and OpenAI in recent years as they raced to the head of the AI technology pack. But now, OpenAI appears to be looking for ways to reduce its reliance on Microsoft. OpenAI has announced plans to adopt Microsoft rival Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, causing tensions between the companies to intensify. Last year, Microsoft gave up its observer seat on OpenAI's board of directors to address antitrust concerns. Is MSFT Stock a Buy? Microsoft's stock has a consensus Strong Buy rating among 36 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 31 Buy and five Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average price target on MSFT stock of $518.77 implies 9.22% upside from current levels.
