Samsung Galaxy S25 FE chipset drama continues with an interesting Geekbench listing

Image
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE was first rumored to employ the same Exynos 2400e chipset as its predecessor. Then, we got word that there was a chance of Samsung going with the Dimensity 9400 instead. Today, it seems like neither of those rumors were true. A Galaxy S25 FE prototype has seemingly run Geekbench, and as always this has revealed its chipset, which is the Exynos 2400. Not the 2400e found in the S24 FE, but the 2400, which has a prime CPU core clocked 100 MHz higher. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE SM-S731U confirmed to feature Exynos 2400 chipset.Specifications🔳 Exynos 2400 SoC🎮... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/nZ9Dzvd

Samsung is preparing a new Galaxy AI gallery feature

Image
According to a tipster on X, Samsung is preparing to include an image-to-video generation feature in its Galaxy AI suite. Unfortunately, the tipster doesn't elaborate further and only mentions the image-to-video AI feature. This report comes shortly after Google announced the advanced video generation capabilities of Gemini. Given that the two companies work closely together and Gemini is already the default virtual assistant on Galaxy phones, Samsung may leverage Gemini's AI capabilities. Furthermore Honor is about to beat Samsung to it. The Honor 400 series will have the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/1ZPrNey

Additionally, the Reno14 Pro gets a 50 MP 16mm ultrawide camera with f/2.0 aperture and autofocus, which is quite a huge upgrade compared to the Reno13 Pro's measly 8 MP ultrawide.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series launched with Log mode for videos, a feature that was backported to the Galaxy S24 series with the One UI 7 update. Log videos can be recorded with all the rear cameras, but not the selfie camera – not yet, anyway.

Samsung might kill the Galaxy S26+ in favor of the S26 Edge

Image
Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge a few hours ago, and we already have a rumor about its successor, as apparently there will definitely be one. According to sources in Korea, the Galaxy S26 Edge will launch alongside the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra. In case you spotted what's missing, you're not wrong. The rumor says Samsung is currently considering giving up on the Galaxy S26+, as the Plus model has consistently been the worst seller in its flagship line for a few years now.

Canalys: global tablet market is up 8.5% in Q1 as people replace pandemic-era slates

Image
The global tablet market grew 8.5% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, reports Canalys. However, different markets had different reasons for the growth in shipments. There was a sharp uptick in tablet sales during the pandemic as people moved to work/study from home. However, those slates are now 4-5 years old and in need of replacement – that’s what pushed shipments in the US up in Q1. The Trump administration announced blanket tariffs but quickly made smartphones, tablets and chips exempt, so that didn’t move the needle much. However, tariffs will still have an effect –... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/qvReXgG

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7's edge-to-edge cover display confirmed in One UI 8 leak

Image
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series has undergone several evolutionary stages as far as its cover display is concerned. The original Z Flip had a teeny-tiny display – just enough to show a few notification icons. The Z Flip3 (which is the second generation model) had enough for two lines of text, the same goes for the Z Flip4. Then the Z Flip5 and Z Flip6 expanded that to a larger 3.4” display – large enough to use apps, but still with massive bezels.

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus 13T (13s) is popular, but limited availability limits its potential

Image
A great future denied – the OnePlus 13T (aka 13s) proved quite popular in last week’s poll, but most voters that are interested don’t live in one of the two countries where the 13T/13s will be available, China and India, respectively. Interestingly, less than 10% think that OnePlus cut too many corners – it did cut some, but it looks like none of the deleted features will be missed all that much. The main concern that we saw in the comments was about the cameras – no, not the missing ultra-wide module, but the image quality of the 50MP main and 50MP 2x telephoto.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might get a more exciting chipset after all

Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE was released in October, and we've already heard rumors that the company is working on its successor, the S25 FE. This was initially said to come with the Exynos 2400e chipset, which is the exact same one used in the S24 FE. Needless to say, this might have turned quite a few people off the new device. Interestingly, a new rumor today claims Samsung may go a different way after all, turning to MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 SoC instead. However, don't pop the bubbly just yet - the Exynos 2400e apparently remains Samsung's first choice. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE It... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/Q7wCDos

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7's full dimensions leak, the folding screen will have smaller bezels

A couple of days ago the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Ice Universe (or Ice Cat more recently) has shared the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7's thickness - 3.9mm when unfolded, 8.9mm when folded. That would make it the thinnest book-style foldable ever when unfolded, beating even the current king, Oppo's Find N5, which is 4.2mm thick. Today he's back with the Fold7's full dimensions, which are said to be 158.4 x 143.1 x 3.9 mm when unfolded. Compared to its predecessor, it's taller and wider, and of course thinner.

vivo introduces iQOO Buds 1i with 50h battery life

Image
The vivo brand iQOO launched a new pair of TWS earbuds over the weekend, called Buds 1i. This audio accessory is similar to the vivo Buds 3i sold in China, but features a stylish yellow and black color option. The iQOO Buds 1i are available in both China and abroad, but there are two different variants. The model sold in Indonesia offers a 50-hour battery life, while consumers in the domestic market must settle for only 45 hours. Interestingly, the vivo Buds 3i are also available (only in China) in these two battery configurations, which means the company has merely introduced a new... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/97J8gOm

Weekly poll results: vivo X200 Ultra could have been a global hit, X200s would have done well

Image
Last week’s poll shows that vivo has a hit on its hands with the X200 Ultra – which makes its reluctance to sell it globally even more confounding. Even the X200s did pretty okay, even though it’s a phone aimed at people who missed the original X200 launch. The vivo X200 Ultra had nearly half of the voters expressing their disappointment that the phone won’t be sold in their region. That is a lot of potential customers that vivo is ignoring – the X200 Pro is a great phone, but it’s not as great as the Ultra. A surprising number of people, one in five, are not discouraged so easily... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/cRd46wb

Early Motorola Edge 70 renders show a very familiar design

Image
The Motorola Edge 60 family has only been official for a little over a week now. Yet, the Edge 70 is seemingly already far enough in development to have its design revealed at least. Of course, this is not an official source, but if these early renders are to be believed, the Edge 70 looks extremely similar to the Edge 60. The phone features a dual-curved display on the front, an aluminum middle frame, and a vegan leather back with a gentle slope elevating into the triple camera island with an LED flash as the fourth module. Unfortunately, we don’t have any info on the phone’s... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/HJoedIf

Image
The hugely popular Samsung Galaxy A series got its annual overhaul recently. The headlining A56 didn't bring a whole lot of improvements over the previous generation, the most obvious being a chipset upgrade.
