Galaxy S25 FE shows up again, this time in full color
Light Blue
Black
White
This is how the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE might look like.
That said, we wouldn't rule out more options showing up later and Samsung might also decide to spice things up with more playful marketing names, as previously rumored. It is not unusual for a company to rename 'Dark Blue' into something like 'Navy Fog' just for the marketing punch.
Aside from the new colors, the S25 FE is said to bring a slimmer and lighter body, with thinner bezels that should help the design feel a bit more modern. However, internally, Samsung seems to be sticking to the same formula as last year, essentially cramming all the S24 FE hardware into a sleeker shell.
Galaxy S24 FE Review: The best Fan Edition yet
You are still getting a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and camera-wise, nothing is expected to change, either. That means the same setup as before – and actually, the same as the base Galaxy S24: 50 MP main with OIS
12 MP ultra-wide
8 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom
This trio already delivered solid results in our camera tests, so even without any upgrades this time around, users should still be happy with the overall performance.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected to run on the Exynos 2400 chip, with 8 GB of RAM and your choice of 128 GB or 256 GB storage. 45W charging should finally be on board too, although we still don't have the full battery details just yet.Samsung usually launches its Fan Edition models in the fall, so that is the window we are expecting again this year. If pricing stays the same, you are looking at a $650 starting price. That's notably higher than the Google Pixel 9a, which starts at $499 and often sees discounts, making the Pixel a tough competitor in this affordable flagship space.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might finally fix what's been slowing you down – and you'll feel the difference
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is going to be Samsung's 2026 flagship phone. And rumors about it have already started showing up online, with some great news for Samsung fans when it comes to charging. Apparently, rumor has it the Galaxy S26 Ultra may finally ditch the 45W charging... and now, yet again, this rumor gets corroborated with a trusted tipster giving us some hints about how much of an upgrade we should expect in the charging department. Right now, the leaks are all indicating the Galaxy S26 Ultra may support 60W charging, around 33% faster charging than what its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, sports (45W). Now, trusted leaker IceUniverse is giving us some figures on the phone's charging times. In a social media post on the Chinese website Weibo, Ice says that the Galaxy S26 Ultra 's 5,000mAh battery can charge up to 75% or even 80% within 30 minutes. A follow-up post of theirs indicates that these are Samsung's official numbers. And according to Ice, the tech giant is being conservative with those. On top of that, the tipster claims that in reality, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may be able to charge all the way up to 90% within just 30 minutes. A very welcome improvement. In our tests, the Galaxy S25 Ultra charged up to 68% in 30 minutes, while phones like the Xiaomi 14T Pro can reach a full charge within 25 minutes or so. You can judge for yourself the difference between 70-ish percent and 80 or even 90% for just half an hour of charging. If true, that would be a great improvement for Ultra fans. At the moment, the 0-100% charging times of the Galaxy S26 Ultra have not leaked. But it's quite possible that these charging times may be around 45 minutes. I personally think that in this day and age, when we have phones that can be fully charged from the bottom up in around 20 minutes, any improvement in this department is totally welcome. And I surely hope these rumors are true.

Samsung's next best-selling Galaxy is almost ready to get in your cart
Samsung Galaxy A17 5G. | Image credit – Samsung Samsung's next budget hero, the Galaxy A17, is just about ready to drop, and honestly, at this point, there is not much left to the imagination. Multiple leaks have spilled pretty much everything already. Just like before, Samsung is going with two versions: a 4G model and a 5G model. And now, we are getting another early peek at both. The Galaxy A17 5G is expected to come in three colors: The Galaxy A17 5G is already live at Samsung's Irish store. | Image credit – Samsung Meanwhile, the 4G version will launch in Black and Light Blue, with rumors hinting at a possible third option joining the mix, too. Galaxy A17 4G leaked in two colors. | Image credit – Evan Blass The Galaxy A17 will carry the torch from a long line of Samsung's best-selling budget phones – the Galaxy A14, Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A16 – which have consistently been the top-selling Galaxy models globally. Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Review: Some improvements, but one red flag remains And it is dropping soon. In fact, it is already live on Samsung Ireland's website, where the Galaxy A17 5G is listed with shipping scheduled for August 18. It has also popped up in other European markets, so an official announcement can drop any day now. And what is the difference between the 4G and 5G versions besides the obvious? First off, price. As always, the 4G version will be more affordable and early leaks suggest no price hike this time. So, you can expect the 5G variant to land at around $200 and the 4G one to come in at about $130. Under the hood, the 5G model is expected to pack the Exynos 1380, which is a bump up from the Exynos 1330 in the A16 5G. It is the same chip found in the Galaxy A35 5G and A54 5G, so expect decent day-to-day performance – not blazing fast, and sure, some stutters here and there, but solid for the price. The 4G variant, on the other hand, should be running the MediaTek Helio G99, a proven chipset in the budget space. Display-wise, don't expect any big changes. We are still looking at a 6.7-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, just like last year's model. On the camera front, things are mostly unchanged – except for one big upgrade: the main snapper is said to now come with OIS (optical image stabilization), which should help with sharper, steadier shots. Expected rear camera setup: 50 MP main (with OIS) 5 MP ultra-wide 2 MP macro Other key features? A 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, IP54-rated dust and water resistance, and support for expandable storage via microSD card. Software-wise, the both A17 versions should ship with One UI 7 based on Android 15, and Samsung is promising an impressive 6 years of OS updates and security patches – which is kind of a big deal in the budget space. So yeah, if you are hunting for a super affordable Android phone that won't feel outdated in a year, the Galaxy A17 might be worth the short wait. After all, it is already practically live, at least in Europe. We are just waiting for Samsung to push the launch button so you can finally click, add it to your cart and call it yours. And if you are not dead set on Samsung, you might also want to check out the CMF Phone (2) Pro by Nothing. It is a bit pricier (starts at $280), but it stands out with a more unique design and feel.
