Two days on one charge: Why the Samsung Galaxy S25 is a writer's best friend
Home » Two days on one charge: Why the Samsung Galaxy S25 is a writer's best friend Samsung Galaxy S25 in mint. Image: Samsung South Africa I recently spent time with Samsung Galaxy's newest addition to the S series – the S25 – I have a simple verdict: it's a beast of a device and you should buy it you are a journalist, writer or publisher who is pressed for time. While it does not look too different from its predecessor, the Galaxy S24, it packs ease, smart features, speed and reliability that made my life and work easier. Let's start with the battery life, by far the most impressive offering of the Samsung Galaxy S25. I fully charged the phone at 17:00 on 11 June and by 16:30 on 13 June, it still had 13% left. That's nearly two full days of regular use – scrolling social media, instant messaging, taking pictures, checking emails and using WordPress – all without needing a charger. It's perfect for people always on the move (and a klutz like me who loses power banks and always forgets to pack a charger). The speed and responsiveness is just as impressive. Apps open quickly. Switching between apps or opening web links from another app is quick and seamless. I gave it a Herculean test by using the WordPress app – usually heavy and temperamental on Android devices – but it passed with flying colours, which means I didn't have to swear at it. One of the coolest features is the Circle to Search. Although not new to the Galaxy S series, it is a wonder to use on the S25. You just draw a circle around an element on your screen – be it an object, image or text, and the phone instantly (and I mean instantly) searches for it. It's quick, smart and surprisingly accurate. To give you an example, I took a picture of a CNN guest's face on my TV, long pressed the home button to bring up Circle to Search, encircled the woman's face and boom – I had her name (Pam Bondi), designation and credentials in my hand. All of this in less than 10 seconds. Speech-to-text and transcriptions The speech-to-text feature has improved significantly in terms of accuracy. I first used it with the Samsung Galaxy S21+ and the results were poor. However, with the S25, it is a vastly improved experience. I recorded quotes by Floyd Shivambu, former uMkhonto weSizwe Party secretary-general, during his exit press conference in June, and it picked up his 'revolutionary English' with incredible accuracy. This is very useful if you're not adept at speedily taking notes. When it comes to photos and videos, the S25 does the job. Granted, I wasn't outside taking pictures of beautiful sunsets, but where it came in really handy was when I wanted to shoot pictures or footage from a TV screen, which usually ends in blurry mess. With the S25, my images were crisp and clear, with colours popping and motion handled well. See below The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a reliable, powerful smartphone that handles everything, from AI features to heavy apps, like a champ. It's fast, smart and keeps going without needing a charge every few hours. For South Africans looking for a solid premium phone that won't let you down, the S25 is well worth it.

I tried the Vivo X200 FE for a week; here's why it may be 2025's best compact phone
We all have favourite smartphone brands, and often that loyalty may cloud our judgement, until a new device comes along that challenges our expectations. I, too, have my loyalties, but I am always up for a challenge. To dive into the unknown, to experience something new, and to be pleasantly surprised. Perhaps this was the reason that piqued my interest when I heard about the Vivo X200 FE. Admittedly, I have no prior experience with Vivo flagship devices, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I got the Vivo X200 FE in the Luxe Grey shade, a colour that has grown on me. And the icing on the cake was its compact form factor – 6.31-inch size. The size of the phone appeals to me greatly. After the iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S25, and Xiaomi 15, I am of the opinion that compact phones are the way to be. They define convenience and everyday smartphone use. The Vivo X200 FE is shipped in sleek matte black packaging, which looks ultra-premium. For the review, I got the 16GB + 512GB RAM version of the phone. The first thing you notice about the X200 FE is its uncanny resemblance to the iPhones, especially the frame, which is built using aerospace-grade metal. It's got the luxe silky feel with the matte grey on the back, yet it's not slippery and does not attract any smudges, thanks to something the company calls a Metallic Sand AG finish. The phone has a peculiar camera bump that is much bigger than the Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16; however, it seldom feels out of place. The large camera island seems pretty much in harmony with the overall aesthetics of the X200 FE. On the whole, the X200 FE feels great in the hand, and if you are someone who prefers one-handed usage, the phone will not disappoint. The Vivo X200 FE sports a 6.31-inch flat pOLED panel, which is among its standout features. Additionally, the phone's narrow bezels bring an immersive visual experience despite its smaller footprint. It offers a 5,000 nits peak brightness, which to me is one of the brightest displays I have ever laid my eyes on. It works flawlessly on a warm day under bright sunlight. You no longer need to shade the screen outdoors or squint during daytime photography with this one. The Vivo X200 FE comes with a 1.5K resolution (around 2800×1260) and 460 PPI, or pixels per inch, that renders a sharpness ideal for reading, gaming, and watching videos. It comes with a P3 wide colour gamut (a wide-gamut colour space designed to deliver richer, more lifelike colours, especially in digital cinema and HDR displays), which offers colour-accurate viewing. I have been on a spree of watching classic Hollywood movies, especially known for their dreamy cinematography. On the Vivo X200 FE, watching 'A Beautiful Mind', 'Scent of A Woman', and 'Scarface' was a great experience; the picturesque locales felt soothing to the eyes. The device offers deeper blacks and richer highlights, as it offers HDR support for Netflix and other apps. As we know, with great brightness comes eye strain. However, Vivo has balanced it with some nifty features, like eye protection that reduces strain in low light or bedtime use. It also has a Smart Eye Protection Mode 2.0, which dynamically adjusts contrasts or brightness for comfortable viewing. The phone also comes with IP68/IP69 ratings that assure carefree usage in rain, hail, and storms. The most noteworthy feature of the Vivo X200 FE is its 50 MP periscope lens with ZEISS tuning. Without getting into the technical details, the cameras are outstanding for a phone this compact. I have been walking around the city with the phone, and it zoomed into streets and buildings just like a DSLR. Some of the features, such as Multifocal Portrait and Aura Light modes, rendered images a studio-like feel. The ZEISS Multifocal Portraits feature five different focal lengths – 23 mm for landscape or nature photography, 35 mm, which is ideal for street photography, 50 mm for classic portrait framing, 85 mm for intense close-ups, and 100 mm for extreme close-ups ideal for candids, travel, or even weddings. The phone features rear Aura Light that comes with an adjustable colour temperature, adding depth to images in low light conditions. On the front, it features a 32 MP camera with two tiny flashlights, making it the flashiest selfie cam out there. Some unfiltered photo samples below: The advanced camera technology is supplemented with some cool AI tools. Vivo has built AI Magic Tools into the albums, and these are AI Magic Move, Image Expander, Reflection Erase, AI Erase, Photo Enhance, Four Seasons Portrait, etc. Since these features are baked right into the albums, you need not rush to third-party expensive photo editing apps. Be it street photography or selfies, the combo of ZEISS colour tuning and some smart AI tools brings out lucid social media-ready images. The Vivo X200 FE packs a Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which makes daily usage, multitasking, and gaming feel like a breeze. This flagship-grade chipset is on par with flagship Android chips and is even roughly comparable with the standard A18 spotted on the iPhone 16. In real-world usage, the X200 FE feels fluid, fast, and efficient. From my usage, I feel that when it comes to performance, the Vivo X200 FE competes head-to-head with the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15, along with offering a premium photography-first experience with ZEISS cameras. On the software front, the device runs on Funtouch OS 2.0 on top of Android 14. It feels a lot lighter and cleaner compared to previous Funtouch iterations. The overload of bloatware, inconsistent UI/UX, ads, and aggressive battery management have been pain points for users of Funtouch OS. However, the X200 FE has somewhat eased those concerns. This time, the UI is cleaner, there are integrated AI tools, and more control over app permissions. While it is lighter, for those who are accustomed to Pixel or Galaxy, the Funtouch OS 15 may feel a bit rounded around the edges. The phone comes with extended UI customisations and some built-in privacy features like spam call blocking, app access logs, and screen share protection. Another major highlight is the built-in Google Gemini assistant replacing the usual Google Assistant in many ways, as it allows Q&A in natural language, Circle to Search directly from the screen, email drafting, etc. Also Read | Nothing Phone (3) review: A flagship smartphone for hipsters and geeks It is a treat for mobile gamers, as the all-big-core Dimensity 9300+ chip is capable of handling any game, be it Genshin Impact or BGMI. It offers sustained performance, and the phone seldom gets warm during extended sessions. The extraordinarily bright screen, stereo sound, and long battery life are likely to entice avid gamers. The biggest takeaway from the Vivo X200 FE would be its 6500 mAh battery. I am simply amazed at the battery life of this phone, which is the largest ever in a phone under 6.4 inches in size. I could easily use the phone for around two days after a single charge; this was a welcome change, as you rarely see a phone that sustains power for long. While most companies promise/claim to offer a carefree extended battery life experience, Vivo has actually done it. In real-world use, a single full charge will give you about 1.5 to 2 days of usage where you can easily manage all 5G + camera usage, GPS, Bluetooth, Google Gemini, long video calls, and gaming sessions. The device comes with a 90W FlashCharge (wired) brick that allows up to three hours of video playback with a mere 10 minutes of charging. The power management on Vivo X200 FE is remarkable, as it comes with features that auto-kill idle apps, shift low-power tasks to less power-hungry cores, and help with extended screen-on time. Despite being a premium device, one should note that the X200 FE does not have wireless charging. Verdict I explored the Vivo X200 FE, and I am pleasantly surprised. Everything from its design to build to cameras to performance, the device feels like a lot of thought has been put into understanding consumer needs. What surprised me the most has been the outstanding battery life. In 2025, a phone that features an excellent camera system, offers one of the brightest displays, and has a flagship-grade chipset is bound to throttle. But Vivo X200 FE does not. It is a value-for-money smartphone that I would recommend.

Amazon US: here are the best Prime Day smartphone deals
Peter, 10 July 2025 Two days have passed, two more to go - this year Amazon Prime Day is four days long. However, deals are available only while supplies last. We've already seen some models go out of stock, while the prices of others have changed. We start off with Samsung whose entire S-series is discounted. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is still the best phone in the family, unless you want something thin and light – here's how the S25 Ultra compares with the S25 Edge. Of course, the main reason to pick the Ultra is the advanced camera setup – here's our S25 Ultra vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL comparison for more on two of the best camera phones in the US market. If you're interested in the Pixels, scroll down a bit. One of the main complaints that we saw about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was the price – at $300 off, it's almost palatable. Of course, you can have an S25+ for $100 less. Here are our thoughts on the Galaxy S25 Edge vs. S25+ debate to help you decide. Speaking of the Samsung Galaxy S25+, it's not glamorous, but it's a sturdy workhorse. While it doesn't have the cameras of the Ultra, it has the same Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and DeX capabilities and it's a good deal cheaper. Of course, you can also go for the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25. It's pretty cheap right now and it is one of the smallest flagships that you can buy. Samsung Galaxy S25 $240 off Read our review 12/256GB - $620 at Amazon US As promised, here come the Pixels. Starting with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which doesn't have the fastest chipset around (the Tensor G4 is more of a mid-range chip), but it has stellar cameras. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL $350 off Read our review 16/128GB - $750 at Amazon US Those same cameras are also available on the smaller Google Pixel 9 Pro, which is surprisingly competitive with its Pro XL sibling. Google Pixel 9 Pro $240 off Read our review 16/512GB - $970 at Amazon US Moving over to the mid-range, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offers a good balance between price, performance and features. It's powered by the Exynos 2400e and has a 6.7' 1080p+ display, plus a 50+8+12MP camera with a 3x/75mm telephoto. It has DeX too, thanks to the USB-C 3.2 port. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE $180 off Read our review 8/128GB - $470 at Amazon US The Samsung Galaxy A36 is about the same size, but you lose on performance (Snapdragon 6 Gen 3) and DeX (the USB-C port is 2.0). There's no telephoto lens on this one either and it's an overall less premium model with a plastic frame (instead of aluminum) and an IP67 rating (vs. IP68 on the S24 FE). Samsung Galaxy A36 $100 off Read our review 8/128GB - $300 at Amazon US Samsung doesn't really have a small mid-ranger this year, but Google does, the Pixel 9. It has the same chipset as the Pixel 9 Pro along with the same main and ultra-wide cameras – but it misses out on the periscope and a few other features. Here is a detailed Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro comparison. Google Pixel 9 $250 off Read our review 12/128GB - $550 at Amazon US It's not small but it's quite powerful – the OnePlus 13R boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a 6.78' LTPO display, while costing less than the Pixel 9. It has a dedicated tele lens too, a 50MP 2x/47mm camera to go with the 50MP main and 8MP ultra-wide. There's no wireless charging like on the S24 FE or Pixel 9, but the large 6,000mAh battery supports 80W wired charging. OnePlus 13R $100 off Read our review 12/256GB - $500 at Amazon US We will wrap up with an all-out gaming phone, the RedMagic 10S Pro. It has an air-cooled Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version (similar to 'for Galaxy') and even though the fan doesn't do much, this is still one of the fastest phones around. And it is specced with tons of memory, 24GB LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 Pro storage. Plus, the 6.85' 144Hz OLED display has an under-display camera and no rounded corners that would eat into the game graphics. The massive 7,050mAh battery with 80W charging is worth mentioning too. RedMagic 10S Pro $175 off Read our review 24GB/1TB - $994 at Amazon US The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is powered by a Tensor G4, which already feels slow and one of the strengths of foldables is supposed to be multitasking. Still, Google is working hard on making Android better on foldables and the Pixel puts you in the front seat of that development. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 is down to $800 - that's $100 less than the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE pricing, despite having mostly the same hardware. "Mostly", the Z Flip6 uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, while the FE is powered by the Exynos 2400. Both chips are from last year, but the Snapdragon has a clear advantage in performance and efficiency. You can find more on Galaxy Z Flip7, Z Flip7 FE and Z Fold7 pricing here. The Motorola Razr+ 2024 is a bit cheaper than the Z Flip6. It doesn't have dust resistance (it's rated IPX8 compared to IP48) and it uses the weaker Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip compared to the 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. Other differences include a 50MP 2x/47mm telephoto camera instead of an ultra-wide (12MP on the Galaxy). Both phones have 4,000mAh batteries, but Motorola has faster wired charging (45W vs. 25W) and the same wireless (15W). Motorola Razr+ 2024 $300 off Read our review 12/256GB - $700 at Amazon US You can go even cheaper with the Motorola Razr 2024. The Dimensity 7300X is rather weak, but it's paired with a decent 4,200mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging ('decent' because the chip's efficiency hurts battery life). The 3.6' cover display is comparable to that of the Z Flip6, though, and you get a 6.9' 120Hz LTPO OLED on the inside. Motorola Razr 2024 $200 off Read our review 8/256GB - $500 at Amazon US We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Here are the best deals from Amazon Canada: smartphones, watches and headphones
Prime Day starts today and it encompasses so many products – strangely, many smartphone offers today aren't part of Prime Day. Oh well, that means that you can skip activating a subscription – some of the offers below are the lowest prices that we've seen this year, Prime Day or not. Let's start with the high-end segment. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ is not as glamorous as the S25 Edge, but it has better battery life (4,900mAh vs. 3,900mAh) and it costs less. The S25+ doesn't have the best cameras, however. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is more capable in this regard, even if it's not perfect. Plus, Google will continue to refine the phone with Pixel Feature Drops for years to come. Moving over to smaller but still capable models, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is about as small as modern flagships come. For comparison, it's 6mm shorter, 1.5mm narrower, 1.3mm thinner and 37g lighter than the Pixel 9 Pro. You can compare them in 3D to help you visualize the difference. Speaking of the Google Pixel 9 Pro, it's the same size as its Galaxy rival. The Tensor G4 is slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, but the Pixel has more RAM (16GB vs. 12GB). And it has the more capable telephoto (48MP 5x/113mm vs. 10MP 3x/67mm) and ultra-wide cameras (48MP vs. 12MP), the selfie is better too (42MP 17mm vs. 12MP 26mm). Are foldables the future? Probably not until their prices fall – the $400 discount on the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a good start. The phone has a 6.3' cover display (a surprisingly standard 20:9 aspect ratio) and an 8' inner display. It measures 10.5mm thick and weighs 257g. Moving on to mid-rangers, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE stands out with a performant Exynos 2400e and a telephoto camera – it's only an 8MP 3x/75mm, but it's better than nothing. The USB-C 3.2 port enables DeX on external displays and you get both 25W wired and 15W wireless charging for the 4,700mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE $220 off Read our review 8/128GB - $700 at Amazon CA The Google Pixel 9 is smaller (6.3' vs. 6.7' screen) but has the same 4,700mAh battery (27W/15W). While it lacks a telephoto camera, it does have a large 50MP sensor in the main (1/1.31') and a high resolution ultra-wide (48MP). It has more RAM than the S24 FE too (12GB vs. 8GB). The Samsung Galaxy A36 is a cheaper entry into the world of One UI. You lose the metal frame and DeX capabilities of the S24 FE, there's no telephoto camera or wireless charging either. That said, it costs $250 less. Samsung Galaxy A36 $180 off Read our review 8/256GB - $450 at Amazon CA Next up, smartwatches. The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is nice and round (the Galaxy Watch8 that will be announced tomorrow has a squircle shape). The 40mm model has a 1.3' display and a 300mAh battery. There's ECG and blood pressure monitoring plus 50ATM water resistance. Samsung Galaxy Watch7 Bluetooth $160 off The Apple Watch Series 10 is rectangular as always, but thinner than previous Apple watches (at 9.7mm) and it has a bigger display too (1.96'). It's also rated for 50ATM water resistance and has ECG. The Apple Watch Series 9 is a cheaper option, especially if you want 4G connectivity on the watch – this would allow you to leave your phone at home. The Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) is fairly bulky but offers battery life far in excess of what the Galaxy or Apple watches can achieve – up to 31 days (up to 11 days with always on display mode enabled). This model is optimized for training and adventure. Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) $500 off The Garmin quatix 7X Solar Edition can last up to 28 days – that goes up to 37 days if it gets enough sunlight. Instead of an OLED display, this one uses the transflective Memory-In-Pixel (MIP) type of display. The quatix series is built for sailing and fishing. It offers features like autopilot control, waypoint marking, anchor alerts, Garmin's fish forecast and more. Garmin quatix 7X Solar Edition $700 off We will wrap up with a couple of headphones. The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are currently the cheapest buds in the Galaxy lineup, but they still offer Active Noise Cancellation. The wingtip design is comfy and stable and you get up to 6 hours of continuous listening with ANC, up to 21 hours with the case. Samsung Galaxy Buds FE $50 off Apple's AirPods Max are still pretty pricey, even with a discount, but have a premium aluminum build and excellent audio quality. Note that these are the older model with a Lightning charging port. Apple AirPods Max Lightning $190 off We may get a commission from qualifying sales.
