Galaxy S25 FE shows up again, this time in full color
Galaxy S24 FE . | Image credit – PhoneArena Samsung is not done for 2025 just yet – there are still more Galaxy phones on the way, and one of them is the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition. It is the more budget-friendly alternative in the flagship Galaxy S lineup and while most of the specs have already leaked, we now also have a fresh look at the phone's design.A new image shows off (translated source) the Galaxy S25 FE in four color options and yep, the design once again sticks very close to last year's model. If you remember, the Galaxy S24 FE came in Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint and Yellow. This year's S25 FE is expected to launch in: Dark Blue 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 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.

Slimmer, smarter, sleeker : Samsung says Galaxy Z Fold7 is here to wow your world
Samsung Electronics has announced the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, the slimmest and lightest device in its foldable lineup, weighing just 215 grams. The flagship foldable combines Galaxy all with a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display, a wider screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio and a powerful hardware to deliver an ultra-premium smartphone experience in a compact form. The Fold7 features a redesigned 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display that is 11% larger than its predecessor, offering an expansive workspace for editing, multitasking, and immersive viewing. The device reaches 2,600 nits of peak brightness, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight. Samsung has engineered the device with a thinner Armor FlexHinge, a more durable titanium plate layer, and 50K thinner Ultra-Thin Glass. The frame uses upgraded Armor Aluminum for enhanced strength, while the cover display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, delivering significant performance gains, including a 41% boost in AI processing. It runs on One UI 8 based on Android 16, with Galaxy AI tools optimised for large screens. Features such as Circle to Search, Drag & Drop AI, and Gemini Live enable seamless multitasking and intelligent assistance. Camera capabilities also see a major upgrade, with the introduction of a 200MP wide-angle camera—making it the first of its kind in the Galaxy Z series. AI-powered imaging features enhance low-light photography, video clarity, and post-shot editing with tools like Generative Edit, Photo Assist, and Audio Eraser.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is my dream foldable
It was only a couple of months ago that I discovered the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's thinness was more than just a way to grab some headlines, and it made the phone genuinely more pleasurable to hold, use, and live with on a daily basis. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is set to be equally transformative, and after barely spending an hour with it. I couldn't be more pleased that Samsung has continued its dogged pursuit of thinness, as it has made the Z Fold 7 the big-screen foldable I could see myself using every day, without fooling myself into thinking I'm not making a compromise. Let's get straight into it. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is far thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and it makes a huge difference in the way the phone feels when you pick it up, hold it, and stow it in your pocket. It measures 8.9mm thick when closed and 4.2mm when open, weighing 215 grams. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was 12.1mm closed up and weighed 239 grams. The Z Fold 7 even manages to be lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra by a whole gram. These numbers don't reflect one of the other major changes, though. On the front of the Z Fold 7 is a 6.5-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio screen, which feels truly "normal," and the phone is easily used with one hand. You no longer have to perform a risky, potentially very expensive juggling act to reply to messages or open apps on the cover screen due to the 5mm increase in width. Open the phone, and you're now greeted by an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen, and it looks glorious. Look straight at the Z Fold 7, and you'll see the crease has been practically eliminated, visually, and you can barely feel it under your finger either. It's still kind of there from the side, but you have to make an effort to see it. Samsung has managed this by making the glass covering the open screen slightly thicker, increasing durability and strength at the same time. It's just one of the durability improvements in the Z Fold 7, which has a stronger titanium lattice work under the screen compared to the carbon fiber lattice used on previous models, and updated Advanced Armor Aluminum for the chassis and hinge. However, is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world? No, that um, honor, goes to Honor with the Magic V5, which is 4.1mm thick open and 8.8mm closed. That's only if you buy the Ivory White version, though, as the other colors are 4.2mm thick open and 9mm thick closed, and it's 217 grams in weight or 222 grams if you choose one other than the white model. Fractions of millimeters aside, both the Magic V5 and the Z Fold 7 are amazing feats of engineering, and shouting about being the thinnest foldable in the world actually obfuscates in meaningless bluster how much of a difference the size truly makes. How can I easily illustrate this difference? I spent some time with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the new Galaxy Watch 8 smartwatches at the same time as I tested out the Galaxy Z Fold 7. While I was playing with the smartwatches, I switched the Z Fold 7 between my front jeans pocket and the back pocket. It disappeared in both, and I mostly forgot it was there until I wanted it. The Z Fold 7 seems to have moved beyond the era of compromise, which afflicted its predecessors, where you had to put up with a foldable's size and weight to enjoy the dual-screen convenience. Now, it simply feels like "a phone," and that has been the dream since the first day I picked up the original Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy S25 Edge took traditional phone convenience to the next level, and the Z Fold 7 does the same for foldable smartphones. There was a case to be made for the Z Fold 6 doing something similar, but it was recommended you still go out and hold it for yourself before buying, as one person's definition of acceptable is another's unacceptable. You should still try the Z Fold 7 out for yourself, but I think you'll just say "wow" when you see it and pick it up, rather than immediately think about whether you'll be able to tolerate the size and weight long term. Samsung described the Galaxy Z Fold 7 as giving you an "Ultra experience," but has stopped short of actually calling it the Z Fold 7 Ultra. It means it has squeezed some really impressive technology inside the thin and light phone. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor is onboard, along with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, there's a 4,400mAh battery, and One UI 8 over Android 16. Yes, the Z Fold 7 will come with Google's latest OS installed, and it has been specially designed for foldables, right down to Gemini Live being adapted for use on the large, open screen. All the usual Galaxy AI features are available, although compared to the AI overload at the Galaxy S25 series launch, they were emphasized less here. Circle to Search has gained an interesting new in-game search feature, where it will provide real-time hints and tips without leaving the app itself. The Now Brief is back and includes weekly activity updates along with its daily roundups. Samsung will support the Z Fold 7's software for seven years. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung at the top of its game. The Galaxy S25 Ultra's 200-megapixel main camera sits alongside a 10MP telephoto camera for a 3x optical zoom, and a new 12MP wide-angle camera with autofocus and a macro mode. The open screen's under-display selfie camera has been greatly improved, and now has 10 megapixels and a 100-degree field of view. The higher resolution is immediately obvious, too. On the cover screen is another 10MP selfie camera. While some may complain about the 3x telephoto, the Z Fold 7's camera is a technical improvement over the Z Fold 6, and the ISP has been optimized to make the most of all the cameras. Evidence of whether all this makes a difference will come when we take more photos, as it was impossible to draw any conclusions taking them inside the event space, where I tried the phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung at the top of its game. The foldable feels superbly made, very high quality, and still suitably futuristic, even though we've seen similar phones for a good few years now. The thinner, lighter body is a massive leap forward compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and earlier, and it has finally reached the point where it won't feel like much of a compromise to use at all compared to a non-folding phone. If you have one of those earlier Samsung foldables, the Z Fold 7 is likely to be a substantial upgrade. For those yet to take the plunge on a big-screen foldable, this is the one to try. Such innovation and engineering don't come cheap. The basic 12GB/256GB model is $2,000 or £1,799, which is a lot to pay for any mobile device, but like the previous models, this is a phone you should be thinking about keeping for the next three years or so. Thanks to the Z Fold 7's streamlined new shape, durability enhancements, and close-to-top-spec camera, this will be easier than ever to do.
