As spotted by GSMArena in Europe's EPREL database, the Galaxy S25 FE is listed with 42 hours and 37 minutes of runtime and a 2,000-cycle battery rating — a very slight improvement over last year's model. It keeps the same A score for drop resistance and C for repairability.

Samsung has already confirmed the S25 FE will launch earlier than usual, with Korean reports pointing to a September 19 release in its home market. Leaks suggest it may add faster 45W wired charging and possibly Qi2 wireless charging.
The EPREL listings also show the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra at around 81 hours and 95 hours of battery life, respectively, but both drop to a 1,200-cycle rating from 2,000 last generation. They still have IP68 protection, a C repairability score, and an E for drop resistance. A recent leak points to 11-inch and 14.6-inch AMOLED displays, MediaTek MT6991 chips, and up to 16GB of RAM.
Finally, the next-gen Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is rated for almost 88 hours of battery life and 2,000 cycles, with a lower IP42 rating. It's expected to feature an Exynos 1380 processor, 10.9-inch LCD, and 25W charging.
Samsung hasn't announced any of these devices yet, but the Tab S11 series is expected to follow last year's September launch window.

Is CRISPR Therapeutics' (CRSP) Rising Net Loss a Sign of Bold Investment or Growing Pressure?

CRISPR Therapeutics AG recently reported its second quarter 2025 earnings, posting revenue of US$892,000, up from US$517,000 a year ago, but recording a net loss of US$208.55 million, up from US$126.41 million in the same period last year. Despite modest revenue gains, the significantly wider loss per share suggests rising costs or investment pressures are impacting the company's financial trajectory. We'll explore how the widening net loss and higher reported expenses could reshape CRISPR Therapeutics' investment narrative going forward. The end of cancer? These 26 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. What Is CRISPR Therapeutics' Investment Narrative? To be a shareholder in CRISPR Therapeutics, you need conviction in the promise of gene-editing breakthroughs and the company's ability to translate pipeline progress into eventual commercial returns. The latest earnings report, though, spotlights a widening net loss and sharply higher operating expenses. While ongoing clinical trials and recent index inclusions remain key near-term catalysts, the size of the reported quarterly loss raises questions around cash burn and the timeline to profitability. This new financial data could shift expectations for the pace of hiring, R&D investment, or the need for additional funding, potentially affecting sentiment around CRISPR's risk profile. On balance, the recent news does not appear to instantly derail the main product development catalysts investors were tracking, but it sharpens focus on the sustainability of current spending levels and paths to revenue growth in a high-cost environment. But with losses widening, funding needs are something every investor should watch closely. CRISPR Therapeutics' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be. Exploring Other Perspectives Eighteen members of the Simply Wall St Community offer fair value estimates for CRISPR Therapeutics, ranging from US$14.57 to US$150.97 per share. As these forecasts reveal, opinions differ widely on the company's trajectory, particularly given growing expenses flagged in the latest earnings.

These 2 FTSE stocks could benefit from the growth of AI and the demand for new data centres

In my opinion, there are two FTSE stocks — Segro (LSE:SGRO) and Tritax Big Box REIT (LSE:BBOX) — that look set to gain from the anticipated explosion in the demand for data centres. According to McKinsey & Company, by 2030, $7trn will need to be spent globally on building the physical infrastructure necessary to house the servers and other hardware required to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Closer to home, Barbour ABI has found nearly 100 live UK planning applications for such properties. And reflecting their energy intensity, Mordor Intelligence reckons the capacity of domestic data centres will grow from 2,590 MW in 2025 to 4,750 MW by 2030. That's equivalent to an average annual increase of 12.9%. The country's number one As the UK's largest real estate investment trust (REIT), Segro already has a significant foothold in the market. It owns Slough Trading Estate, Europe's largest business park and home to the continent's biggest cluster of data centres. It also leases other warehouses to companies operating in the sector. Its tenants include Equinix and Digital Realty Trust, two of the industry's largest players. But its share price has disappointed recently — it's down 28% since August 2024. And the commercial property market can be volatile. However, its balance sheet is strong — its loan-to-value was 31% at 30 June. Also, 73% of its lettable area is located in seven countries in continental Europe, which provides it with a certain degree of diversification. Another option Tritax Big Box REIT, the UK's largest owner of logistics facilities, now has two data centres in its portfolio and has announced plans to build a new one near Heathrow airport. It anticipates spending £200m on similar properties in 2025 and £100m-£200m annually thereafter. It estimates the annual rental yield will be 9%-11%. Not surprisingly, the trust views the sector as one of its key growth drivers. As part of its expansion plans, Tritax has made an offer to buy Warehouse REIT. If the deal is successful, it will create a combined £7.4bn property portfolio. The takeover target has 409 tenants at 60 sites in England and Scotland. Immediate cost savings of £5.5m a year are expected. The proposed merger reflects a trend in the investment trust industry where stock market valuations are often lower than the value of the underlying assets. This apparent lack of appreciation from investors has frustrated directors and shareholders alike. Tritax presently trades at a 28% discount. Warehouse is valued at 11% less than its book value. Good for income One of the principal attractions of REITs is that to qualify for certain tax exemptions they must return at least 90% of rental profits to shareholders. This means they usually offer generous yields. For example, based on dividends paid over the past 12 months, Tritax is presently (15 August) offering a return of 5.6%. For comparison, Segro's is 4.6%. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. However, the trust's dividend could come under pressure if interest rates remain at historically high levels. And possible vacancies remain an ever-present threat. But like Segro, I think Tritax has exposure to a sector that's going to see significant growth over the next decade or so. Those that agree with me could consider adding either of them to their portfolios.

iPhone 17 Air — here's where Apple can succeed where Samsung failed

Samsung intended to start a revolution when it launched the Galaxy S25 Edge not long ago, but the reality is that the phone turned out to be underwhelming. I've been using it for more than two months now, and given my experience with the ultra-thin phone, Apple certainly has the opportunity to steal its thunder with the iPhone 17 Air. It's one of the many new iPhones tipped for reveal at an upcoming rumored Apple September event. The iPhone 17 Air could end up being the most compelling model the company introduces in years. I've been keeping tabs on all the rumors and leaks, so while it's unlikely we'll see dramatic changes between now and its reveal, there are still ways Apple could make it a more compelling thin phone. I know there are areas where we could see compromises, but I'll explain how the iPhone 17 Air could still succeed where the Galaxy S25 Edge failed. Here's how. Since I'm a camera guy, I'm most interested in the cameras rumored to accompany the iPhone 17 Air — or should I say, camera? While I'm a bit forgiving about Apple's decision to give the iPhone 16e a single rear camera, it feels wrong to do it with the iPhone 17 Air. So far, the rumors suggest that it will have a single 48MP camera on the back, which isn't appetizing when you're used to a triple camera setup. This might be an area where I could say the Galaxy S25 Edge is better than the iPhone 17 Air, but Apple can still surprise us. That's because I need to just look back at my 200 photo shootout between the iPhone 16e and Pixel 9a, like the side-by-side shot above. Even though the iPhone 16e narrowly lost, it did impress me for its strong telephoto and dynamic range performances. It's proof of Apple's excellent image processing with its iPhones, so it could do the same for the iPhone 17 Air. Another thing worth pointing out is all the leaked images and renders of the iPhone 17 Air. The back of the phone shows a prominent camera bar that spans one side to the other, which could lead me to suspect that there could be a larger sensor in there — perhaps the same one for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. If so, that would give it more leverage. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The only thing it would lack is an ultrawide, but I wouldn't mind keeping it to just a single camera if its field of view ends up being a smidge wider. There's no denying that the iPhone 17 Air is going to be a remarkable feat of engineering for a modern device. So far, it looks like it's going to be thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge with rumors of it being as thin as 5.5mm. In comparison, the S25 Edge measures in at 5.8mm. As I've noted in my Galaxy S25 Edge review, the biggest compromise to designing a thin phone is that battery life is dramatically impacted. A thinner phone means less room for a battery, subsequently resulting in a much shorter battery life. However, Apple could squash any battery drain concerns with the iPhone 17 Air — by looking at what the current iOS 26 beta offers. Apple's latest iPhone software has a ton of features, but one that's overlooked is the new adaptive power mode. I suspect this could be the answer to addressing any anxiety about its battery endurance, by dynamically adjusting the phone's performance to get more juice out of the battery. Plus, I think the A19 Pro chip rumored to power the iPhone 17 Air would be power efficient enough to hopefully make it last longer than the standard iPhone 17. I'm hoping that the iPhone 17 Air ends up taking the same $899 price point that the current iPhone 16 Plus holds in Apple's lineup. However, I'm not as optimistic about that given the price of the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z Fold 7. There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Air could end up being even more costly than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Hopefully, that's not true because it would have an even tougher time convincing people (myself included). Realistically, Apple could fit the Air in between the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max — which would put it at $1,099, assuming Apple maintains its pricing structure from before. This would put it in direct competition with the Galaxy S25 Edge, but a higher price point still wouldn't make it a dealbreaker. Even though I'm all about the best cheap phones, I would be shocked if there aren't deals for the iPhone 17 Air at launch to bring down its price. Nearly every major carrier will offer some kind of deal because that's been their standard procedure with every major phone release. Take the iPhone 16 Pro Max last year when it dropped down in price to a penny less than a month after its launch. Sure, you'll have to sign off on some sort of phone plan, but the end result was getting a new iPhone on the cheap. This could happen for the iPhone 17 Air, so I'm not too worried about a higher price point. It would only really affect those buying the phone outright.
