Samsung Galaxy S25 FE just tipped for a surprising Ultra-level upgrade
A new report has revealed that the next phone in Samsung's affordable FE series, the Galaxy S25 FE, might feature one advantage over the Galaxy S25. With Galaxy Unpacked having come and gone, you might think Samsung's big phone launches are done for the year. However, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected for release later this year, and while the FE series often features slightly worse hardware, a new report has indicated a substantial charging upgrade for the phone. According to a report from SammyGuru, device quality and safety testers TUV Rheinland have published a listing with the model number SM-S731, which is believed to refer to the Galaxy S25 FE. While the listing in question contains few hardware details, there is one thing of note: the apparent confirmation of 45W charging speeds for the phone. This would mean that the cheaper Galaxy S25 FE would match the charging speeds seen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Plus, and exceed the 25W seen in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 FE. As we don't know the battery size of the phone, we can't state for certain how speedy a charge you'll get. However, when we tested the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its 5,000 mAh battery, it managed to reach 71% battery after charging for 30 minutes with a 45W charger. As such, if this news is accurate, we'd imagine the S25 FE to charge impressively quickly too. Aside from the battery, we've heard a few rumors about the rest of the Galaxy S25 FE's hardware. For instance, we've seen reports that the phone will feature the same camera setup as the Galaxy S24 FE, meaning a 50MP main lens, supported by 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto cameras. On the plus side, it appears that Samsung could update the selfie camera to 12MP, compared to the 10MP selfie camera on the current FE. We don't know much about the screen, but we'd expect the phone to at least have the same 6.7-inch display seen on the current S24 FE. There's also a lot of conflicting information when it comes to the chip coming with the phone. We've heard that Samsung could reuse the Exynos 2400e featured on the current phone. However, leaked benchmarks have shown the phone running the Exynos 2400, which would offer a marked performance increase, although it would still lag behind Samsung's other flagship devices and their Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon. Samsung released the Galaxy S24 FE in October last year. While we can't be certain Samsung will stick to the same date, it would seem fair to expect a Fall release date at least.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will have improved charging, unlike the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE has recently been rumored to come with support for 45W wired charging, a marked increase from its predecessor's 25W capability. Now, thanks to a TÜV Rheinland certification, this has been confirmed. Naturally, don't expect the phone to come with a charger in the box. TÜV Rheinland has also certified the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, and unfortunately this tablet didn't get the same treatment as the S25 FE, thus it will only go up to 25W charging. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (left) and Tab S10 Lite (right) certifications All the other members of the Tab S10 family do support 45W, but limiting the Lite model to 25W is one of the corners cut in what we assume was the idea to keep the price low. Of course, the actual price of this device isn't official yet - the tablet itself is yet to be announced - so it remains to be seen whether that actually pans out. Still, it should be the cheapest of the Tab S10 models for sure. The Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite could actually be launching together around October. Undoubtedly we'll be hearing a lot more about both until then, so stay tuned. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Via

SK On wins global cyber safety nod for EV battery
SK On announced Thursday that it has obtained an international Cyber Security Assessment for its battery management system, becoming the first company in Korea to receive such certification for an automotive controller. The CSA was awarded by TUV Rheinland, a leading global testing and certification organization, and is based on the ISO/SAE 21434 standard, which outlines best practices for managing cyber security risks in automotive systems. In addition, SK On also received a Level 3 Functional Safety Management System certification under ISO 26262, which evaluates a company's ability to manage functional safety throughout the entire product lifecycle from design through to production and post-deployment. The certified battery management system will be supplied to a major European automaker, along with SK On's battery cells and modules. Both certifications position the company to meet growing international regulatory requirements, including UN Regulation No. 155, which mandates certified cyber security systems for new vehicles sold in 56 countries, including those in the EU, North America and Asia. 'These certifications not only demonstrate the technological strength of our BMS but also affirm SK On's capabilities in managing cyber security and functional safety on a global scale,' said Ko Jeong-woon, head of system generic technology development at SK On. 'We plan to gradually expand the application of these certified solutions in collaboration with major global automakers.'
