Galaxy S25 FE leak confirms an important battery upgrade
New listings for TÜV Rheinland certification have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might support 10V/4.5A or 15V/3A wired fast charging. Those numbers translate to a charging speed of 45W, which would be a significant upgrade over previous Fan Edition models.
Last year's Galaxy S24 FE only supported a 25W charging speed. The same is true for the current Galaxy S25 and the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge, which also charge with 25W.
If the Galaxy S25 FE charges with 45W, it'll match Samsung's ultra-flagship model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Galaxy S25 Plus.
The Galaxy S25 FE shapes up as one of the most significant upgrades to Samsung's Fan Edition devices. Earlier rumors have claimed that the device would have a redesign, which might make it much thinner than before and shrink its bezels. According to earlier information, the Galaxy S25 FE might be only 7.4mm thick, which is almost as thin as the base Galaxy S25 . Samsung's vanilla flagship is 7.2mm thick.The visual changes might not negatively affect the internals. If the rumors turn out to be true, we can expect the same 4,700mAh battery as inside last year's model, though some still hope for a little boost to 5,000mAh.

Samsung is very likely to choose its own Exynos 2400 chipset for the Galaxy S25 FE, which we've already seen inside another fan edition — the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The same chip was also inside the Galaxy S24 series.
Samsung usually releases its Fan Edition devices in the fall, and last year the Galaxy S24 FE was released in September. We could expect a similar timeframe for the release of the Galaxy S25 FE, though we don't have any official information yet.
I think the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up as a mighty competitor. If Samsung manages to keep the battery size and the price while trimming the body down and increasing the charging speed, this phone will be impressive. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Another source confirms the rumor that there won't be aPlus. The new plan for Samsung is to release theEdge along with the vanilla and themodels.A new report based on Korean supply chain sources reiterates that Samsung might release only threemodels next year, if we don't count a potential Fan Edition device. Those would be the following models:The new report comes shortly after theseries was spotted in GSMA database listings. The leaked listings had only three model numbers, corresponding to the same trio of potential a move from Samsung wouldn't be exactly shocking. Thehad the same 6.7-inch display as the S25 Plus, but in a much thinner body. The obvious trade-offs are the loss of a camera on the back and the significantly smaller battery, which also charges more slowly. However, all that makes thestand out from the rest of the lineup, which might be Samsung's that rumor is true, Samsung will end up with three very distinct flagship offerings, potentially attracting more attention. On the other hand, everyone who wanted a bigger phone, but without the extra features of the Ultra, would have to choose either a device with a smaller battery or one with an even bigger screen and a higher Apple's experience is an indication for Samsung's business, the Plus models aren't smash hits. The iPhone 16 Plus was the lowest-selling of the iPhone 16 series, so this year it might be replaced by the iPhone 17 Air . I believe it's safe to assume that Samsung's numbers are similar, and the Galaxy S25 Plus was probably the lowest-selling model of the with that in mind, I'd take these rumors with a grain of salt. We've heard that the Plus model would be discontinued many times before, but it always comes back. Besides, thedoesn't seem to sell particularly well either, so the age of the super-slim flagship might need to wait longer.

Honor X70 vs. excavator and fire hose
Honor is unveiling the X70 on July 15, and the brand has ramped up its teaser campaign for the phone now that it's mere hours away from becoming official. Have you ever wondered who'd win a confrontation between a yet-unannounced smartphone and a Sany SY205C-S excavator? Well, the video below will give you the answer. Spoiler alert: the phone is affixed to one of the excavator's bucket's teeth, and then the excavator does some good 'ol excavating, with the phone over there. At the end, after being exposed to a whole lot of dirt, it survives unscathed, as you'd expect. In the second part of the video, the phone is hit by the excavator's bucket, which makes it fly in the air for a while until it falls to the ground. Naturally, it's fine. And finally (and most insanely), it's 'pressed' by the excavator's bucket, once again making it through with no issues. Next up, a fire hose. This one's more straightforward - the fire hose shoots water directly at the phone, and it's fine thanks to its IP69 and IP69K water resistance ratings, even though other items aren't. The Honor X70 will have a record-breaking (for a mainstream smartphone) 8,300 mAh battery but will somehow still be less than 8mm thick and weigh less than 200g. It's going to boast a 6.79-inch 1200x2640 OLED screen, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC at the helm, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and MagicOS 9 out of the box.

Sony's issues with the Xperia 1 VII might be worse than anyone could've imagined
Sony Xperia 1 VII | Image credit — PhoneArena Sony appears to be significantly downscaling its smartphone business across Europe. The company has also stopped selling the Xperia 1 VII in Taiwan and Hong Kong, after suspending its sales and shipments in Japan. In a move that might signal the end of Sony smartphones in most of Europe, Sony has stopped selling its phones in Finland. The company has removed the listings for the Xperia 1 VII and other models from its Finnish website and those of local retailers and carriers, according to Suomimobiili (translated source) . In an official statement, Sony has confirmed that it's changing its focus and won't sell the Xperia 1 VII in Finland. Instead, the company is selling the phone in its stores and through Amazon in select markets in Europe. Here's the machine translation of the complete statement Sony shared with Suomimobiili: A quick check of Sony's local websites across Europe reveals that the Xperia 1 VII isn't listed on many of them. The ones with existing listings, like Germany, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, show that the flagship and most other models are out of would confirm the claims that Sony is downsizing its smartphone business, but it doesn't answer the question of why the company would do that. The answer might be darker than anyone would've guessed. At the beginning of July, Sony stopped the sales and shipments of the Xperia 1 VII in Japan. The reason was multiple reports for units that were turning off on their own, rebooting sporadically, or failing to turn on entirely. Soon afterwards, the company announced the same move in Taiwan (translated source) and Hong Kong (translated source) . Days later, the company notified consumers in the UK that it was investigating the cause of the issues and 'the extent of the affected stock.' Those issues add up to Sony's limited release of the Xperia 1 VII, and the rumors that the company might no longer build Xperia smartphones. Sony Xperia 1 VII | Image credit — PhoneArena I think there is a big chance Sony will exit the mobile business altogether. The Xperia phones have been facing significant challenges in recent years, leading to lower sales. The exit from the US market with the Xperia 1 VI, and the limited release of the Xperia 1 VII were signals that Sony doesn't want to keep investing in its mobile phones. Add to that all the recent issues the company has been having, and the future of Xperia phones appears dire. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
