Graphics go up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU.
The display is a 16.0-inch Full HD (1920 x 1200) IPS panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 144Hz refresh rate, and 45% NTSC color gamut. It has a 300-nit brightness and LED backlight.
The laptop supports up to 32GB of 5600MHz DDR5 RAM using two SO-DIMM slots. Storage options include 512GB or 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
For connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3. Ports include one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery 3.0, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 FRL port, a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and a DC-in power port.
The webcam is a 720p HD camera with a physical privacy shutter. The touchpad uses Mylar, and the keyboard is full-sized with a single-zone backlight and 1.7mm key travel. ASUS SonicMaster powers audio with built-in Dirac sound and an AI noise-canceling microphone array.
It comes with a 63Wh battery and a 150W AC adapter. The laptop weighs 1.95 kg and measures 357.0 x 250.9 x 18.0–22.0mm. The V16 is built for durability and meets the MIL-STD-810H standard.
Samsung is prepping the Galaxy S25 FE, the fifth model in its S25 lineup, for a late 2025 launch, per GalaxyClub. Codenamed R13 with model SM-S731B, this Fan Edition phone is expected to ship with Android 16-based One UI 8, aligning with Samsung’s foldables debuting in July.
The Galaxy S25 FE, following the S24 FE’s October 2024 release, is shaping up as an affordable alternative to Samsung’s flagship S25 series, launched in January 2025. GalaxyClub reports the S25 FE’s codename R13 and model SM-S731B, continuing the FE lineage from the S23 FE (SM-S711B/S721B). It’s slated for a Q3 or Q4 2025 release, likely September or October.
Exynos 2400e to be reused this year
Unlike the S25 trio’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, the S25 FE will reportedly stick with the Exynos 2400e, the same 4nm chip powering the S24 FE. For those unfamiliar, it’s a trimmed-down version of the Exynos 2400 of the S24 and S24+, which you can read more about here.
The Exynos 2500 (and its 2500e variant) likely isn’t ready yet, which may explain why Samsung is sticking with the 2400e for now. While its performance is respectable, it still falls short of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in power efficiency. The S24 FE’s 6.7-inch AMOLED (1,900 nits) and 4,700mAh battery set a high bar—expect similar or slightly upgraded specs.
One UI 8, based on Android 16, will likely debut with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in July, bringing revamped apps and AI video summaries. The S25 FE’s later launch ensures it ships with this software. Nonetheless, some fans question the Exynos reuse. Can Samsung’s tweaks to cameras or design offset the older chip? Only time will tell.

Following the Pixel 9a launch, Google is actively working on its next gen flagship smartphones. The highly anticipated Pixel 10 series is set to debut later this year, and a fresh report has hinted at a notable upgrade coming to the display. This might make the Pixel 10 better for your eyes, so here’s what we know.
Is the Google Pixel 10 getting high frequency PWM dimming?
The news arrives from an Android Central report after they directly reached out to the search engine giant. In the recent past, the Pixel 9 series suffered from screen flickering issues. So when Google was asked about possibly upgrading the PWM dimming rate or adding a flicker reduction accessibility option to the next gen Pixel flagships. The brand responded to this with a Google representative confirming that the team is aware of this issue and is working on a solution, which you “can expect updates later this year.”
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Leaked Render
For those unaware, the PWM dimming is a feature that lets smartphones make their display appear dimmer by turning the display on and off quickly. This gives an appearance of decreased brightness. While this isn’t noticeable for most people, there are some users that can get a headache while using devices with a lower PWM rate. Unfortunately, the Pixel phones are one of these devices.
The part where the brand mentioned later this year might be hinting at a notable upgrade in the Pixel 10 lineup. For those unaware, Google is set to unveil the Pixel 10 series globally sometime around August 2025. There might be a software upgrade to make the experience smoother for the older models, while the latest flagships get higher PWM dimming out of the box.

While Samsung is a leading smartphone brand across the globe, it is the Chinese companies that are known for pushing innovation. However, Samsung might be working on a cool new smartphone with a possible modular design for its camera system.
Samsung patents smartphone with a replaceable lens
A patent from the South Korean tech giant has revealed a possible Galaxy device that might feature a modular design. The patent was filed with the WIPO and carries the publication number WO/2025/084594 (Via 91Mobiles). Looking at the document, we can see design sketches that showcase a device with what appears to be a replaceable lens system. It lists a device that holds all the components, a lens assembly unit, an image sensor, and a motor/actuator that allows for movement of the lens assembly or image sensor.
This could allow users to adjust focus or zoom, and possibly include stabilization or alignment as well. The replaceable lens is apparently a built in solution, rather than offering an accessory that snaps onto a smartphone like the Vivo X200 Ultra. Users might be able to interchange lenses via magnets. Considering how the new lens system is built, it might allow for improved camera controls while also bringing access to additional replaceable accessories.
Vivo X200 Ultra with the Photography Kit
Unfortunately, the details are still at large, and we can only see the replaceable lens and image sensor. So it is unclear whether other accessories are also part of this system. Samsung could simply be covering all bases and may never build such a gadget.

Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 vs 7s Gen 3: Key differences that matter
Now that we’ve seen benchmark results, let’s break down the differences to understand the reason behind a significant gap in performance and other differences that really matter.
CPU
Both are octa-core processors built using TSMC’s 4nm process, yet they differ in terms of architecture and core setup. The 7+ Gen 3, for instance, uses 1+4+3 core configuration, featuring one high-performance Cortex-X4 core, four Cortex-A720 performance cores, and three Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.
On the other hand, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 uses 1+3+4, sacrificing one performance core over an efficiency core. It has one high-performance Cortex-A720 core, three Cortex-A720 performance cores, and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.
The Cortex-X4 in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is a flagship-class core with superior performance and power efficiency than Cortex-A720. It also runs at a higher speed, making it suitable for demanding applications.
GPU
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 has an Adreno 732 GPU, while the 7s Gen 3 brings an Adreno 810. At first glance, it may seem like the latter has a powerful GPU, but the reality is just the opposite. The Adreno 732 has higher shading units, total shaders, floating point operations per second (FLOPS), memory bandwidth, and pipelines, which translates to superior graphics capabilities. That means the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 devices will have significantly better gaming performance as compared to Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 devices.
Connectivity
The two also have notable differences in connectivity. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, for instance, has an X63 5G modem that offers up to 5 Gbps download speed and up to 3 Gbps upload speed, whereas the 7s Gen 3’s modem (Qualcomm has not revealed its name) has a much lower peak download speed of 2.9 Gbps.
The same goes for a Wi-Fi connection, which offers up to 5.8 Gbps speed on the 7+ Gen 3 but is limited up to 2.9 Gbps on the 7s Gen 3. Additionally, the 7+ Gen 3 chip also supports Wi-Fi 7, offering lower latency and better performance in crowded areas.
The only thing that favours Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is a newer Bluetooth v5.4 standard versus v5.3 on the other chip.
Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 vs 7s Gen 3: Verdict
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 clearly wins all cards over the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, with a big margin. It has a superior CPU and GPU that crushes the other chip on multiple benchmarks. Plus, the chip supports Wi-Fi 7 and allows significantly higher download and upload speeds for reliable connectivity, even in crowded environments.
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is clearly a no-brainer pick over the 7s Gen 3. However, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 still holds its own for budget-conscious buyers. It delivers respectable day-to-day performance and shines in sustained workloads with excellent thermal stability. So, If you’re after the best performance without jumping to a flagship chip, the 7+ Gen 3 is the obvious winner. But for casual users who prioritize efficiency and value, the 7s Gen 3 still makes a solid case.

This is the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. At first sight, everyone will be asking: Is it an iPhone 16? Yeah I kind of had the same question in my head when I first got my hands on it. Anyway, there are three highlights on this phone, first, the design, then the SnapDragon 8S Gen 4, and the massive 7550mAh battery.
Now this phone could be a POCO phone in the future, but if you want it right now, you can buy it from Geekwills, with a very friendly starting price. And there is a Harry Potter edition of it.
Design
In fact, this phone is just a Pro version that gets rid of some elements from the Turbo 4, which makes it more minimalist. The back panel, they call it soft matte glass, is indeed very fine and smooth, and it does not show fingerprints that easily. It is completely flat, and the frame extends a little bit to the back panel, so the feel in hand is very good.
Speaking of the frame, it is made of aluminum alloy with a very delicate finish. I know many of you were expecting a metal frame on the Turbo series, and finally it’s here, this makes the overall feel even better than the K series from Redmi. Lastly, like the special white version of the Turbo 4, the ring lights around the cameras are kept, to be used as notifications. You can customize the color and brightness of it, a good design to have.
At the front, the screen is also flat, 1.5K, 3200nits peak brightness at a 25% window, along with some other features. The lower bezel is 0.4mm thicker than the upper bezel, and honestly, I can’t really tell the difference, even after looking at it for a long time.
The phone is 6.83”, meaning a Pro Max size. Not iPhone 16 like now, huh!
So overall, it has a better design than you wouldn’t expect, and certainly worth the price tag so far.
Performance
Of course, the performance is the main thing when you look at the Turbo series. This phone comes with SnapDragon 8S Gen4, a 4nm processor, the first phone that comes with this chipset. The 8S Gen3 had a overall good reputation, so what about this 8S Gen4?
We ran Genshin Impact on it, the frame rate was maintained at 60FPS for the first 15mins, then it dropped to 50FPS in the last min. And the average power consumption is 6.3W. This performance is not the best, but since it’s close to the 8 Gen 3, it meets the expectation. And right after the test, the temp of the phone, front and back, got to 49 degrees Celsius. Which is a figure that my hands can’t stand anymore. What do you think about the performance? Let us know in the comment section.
For gaming, of course there is the Wild Boost mode for it, along with some gamer exclusive features.
Battery
Then the battery size is 7550mAh, bigger than the Turbo 4. Here is a table for a comparison with other phones released recently. As you can see, the regular phone battery capacity has stepped to 7000+mAh level, and this Turbo 4 Pro is taking the lead right now, it is safe to say without any real power use, it can last for 2 days without any problem.
It also comes with a 90W charger, it can charge the battery to full in about 50mins. It also supports 22.5W reverse charging, so it can definitely save your buddy’s iPhone and some earbuds without a problem. I’d say Redmi is very confident with the battery this time, and maybe this kind of high power reverse charging will be a standard in the future.
Overall Experience
The fingerprint unlock area is very close to the bottom, not quite a friendly design, but understandable as a budget-friendly phone.
The camera combo is exactly like the Turbo 4, nothing has changed. Here are some quick shots of the phone.
The HyperOS 2 on this phone feels very smooth, and the animation is very well designed.
Verdict
So overall, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is a phone that has a redefined design, with a flat screen and back panel, an aluminum frame, you would love to see these. And then it comes with 8S Gen4 processor and a massive 7550mAh battery, which will make day-to-day use and gaming a lot better. Still the camera performance is average. But with this kind of price, it’s already leading the competition. Again if you want to buy this phone, don’t forget to get it from Geekwills!
We’ve seen plenty of open-ear earphones announcements recently, but these models are still a niche, and can typically be quite pricey as well. Panasonic is the latest to jump on the bandwagon with its latest announcement, which is a pair of open-ear earbuds that are quite affordable. So let’s check it out.
Panasonic RB-F10: Why you may want to try out these budget open-ear earphones
For those unaware, the open ear design on the Panasonic RB-F10 allows users to enjoy music without having their ear canals blocked. In other words, users can still hear the music and be aware of their surroundings. While some may not prefer this as it could get in the way of their audio experience, these kinds of earbuds are quite handy for those on the road, say a cyclist or someone going for a run.

Nothing was quick with the Android 15 rollout. The brand wrapped it up months before many other Android brands. But, several brands, including Samsung and Infinix, are still busy sending out Android 15 updates to their devices. This could soon become an old thing as Google is gearing up for the Android 16 release faster than OS releases in recent years.
Interestingly, Nothing isn’t mentioned on the Android 16 beta partners list that Google shared with the Android 16 Beta 4 release. It was there last year for Android 15 beta. This could mean that users might have to wait longer for the beta releases, but not necessarily a delay in the stable release. I’m still hopeful that Nothing will be one of the first non-Google brands to push a stable Android 16 update.
Google has announced that stable Android 16 will be released in the second quarter, with many reports believing that it could arrive as early as May 2025. Either way, we are close to it; hence, it is the right time to check if your Nothing device is actually eligible for the next big upgrade. We’ve prepared the list below.
Nothing Android 16 eligible devices list
Nothing hasn’t shared the Android 16 update list yet, so we had to rely on the existing software update policy to prepare this list.
Nothing Phone (3a)
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
Nothing Phone 2
Nothing Phone (2a)
Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
CMF Phone 1 by Nothing
It takes no time to realize that the Nothing Phone (1), the company’s first phone, is missing from the list. That’s because it has already received three OS updates, as promised by the brand. Hence, it’s not eligible for Android 16 and future OS upgrades unless Nothing wants to surprise users with an extra OS release.
If you have any Nothing Phone other than the original Phone (1), you are guaranteed to get the Android 16 update when it rolls out. However, we aren’t sure if the Nothing OS version will see a bump to OS 4.0, knowing that Android 14 arrived with Nothing OS 2.5, not OS 3.0.
We are yet to hear anything about Android 16 from Nothing, but Google has already confirmed that the upcoming OS will bring progress-centric notifications, improved photo picker with support for cloud media providers, rich haptics, Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec, and improvements to predictive back, adaptive refresh rate, camera, and Health Connect. You can read more about Android 16 features and changes on this page.
While these features and improvements are part of Android 16, it’s the smartphone brand that decides which ones to integrate into their devices.

Poco F7 Ultra houses a 5300 mAh battery with blazing 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, fully charging in just 34 minutes. OnePlus 13 counters with a massive 6000 mAh battery, slightly slower 100W wired charging (full in 36 minutes), but adds 10W reverse wireless and 5W reverse wired options. While Poco wins on charging speed, OnePlus 13 offers longer endurance and more versatile charging methods, making it more practical for power users.
Verdict:
OnePlus 13 narrowly wins in this category due to its expandable memory configurations and a larger battery with multi-mode charging. Poco F7 Ultra remains a strong performer, especially for those prioritizing rapid charging.
3. Camera
OnePlus 13
Main and Secondary Lenses:
Both phones offer triple 50 MP setups, but OnePlus 13 elevates camera performance with a slightly larger sensor for the main camera, periscope telephoto with 3x zoom, and Hasselblad color calibration for pro-grade color tuning. Laser focus further aids in accuracy, especially in low light. Poco counters with a solid triple array, but its telephoto maxes out at 2.5x and lacks advanced tuning. OnePlus’s superior zoom and color science make it better for serious photography.
Selfie Camera:
Poco F7 Ultra features a 32 MP front camera capable of up to 1080p at 60fps, while the OnePlus 13 uses a similar 32 MP sensor but upgrades to 4K recording at 60fps.

Verdict:
The OnePlus 13 is the better photography phone, with Hasselblad tuning, a higher-grade zoom lens, and better video capabilities, even in the front camera. Poco performs well but doesn’t reach flagship-level tuning and versatility.
4. Pricing
OnePlus 13
Poco F7 Ultra is priced around $800, offering top-tier hardware at a competitive rate. OnePlus 13, at $985, reflects its added features, build refinements, and camera enhancements.
Verdict:
The Poco F7 Ultra is clearly the better value if budget is a key concern. It delivers flagship performance and a premium experience at a low cost. However, OnePlus 13 justifies its price with meaningful upgrades in display, camera, and battery versatility.
5. Conclusion
Poco F7 Ultra
OnePlus 13 stands out with its IP69 rating, reverse wireless charging, 24GB RAM variant, Hasselblad color tuning, and an extremely bright 4500-nit display, features rarely seen even in top-tier flagships. The LTPO 4.1 display adds efficiency for dynamic refresh rate control. It also supports eSIM and has broader HDR support, including Dolby Vision and HDR Vivid.
Poco F7 Ultra distinguishes itself with its ultra-fast 120W charging and higher-resolution display. It also supports Snapdragon Sound and a 1920fps slow-motion mode, features ideal for gamers and media enthusiasts.
Final Verdict:
Both phones are flagship-level and deliver excellent value, but they cater to slightly different audiences. The Poco F7 Ultra is a price-performance beast, perfect for users who want raw power, rapid charging, and a brilliant display at a competitive price. The OnePlus 13, however, offers a more refined and versatile experience across the board, with better camera tuning, more battery flexibility, a brighter display, and higher RAM/storage options.
If budget isn’t a major constraint and you want an all-rounded flagship experience with camera and display excellence, the OnePlus 13 is the better overall choice. But if you want 90% of the features at a lower cost, the Poco F7 Ultra remains a standout value flagship.
Qualcomm might tap Samsung Foundry’s cutting-edge 2nm node for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, according to SEDaily. Set to power the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 in late 2026, this chip could mark a big win for Samsung’s foundry, which hasn’t made Qualcomm’s flagship chips since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 failed to match expectations.
Galaxy S26 series to be based on Samsung’s Exynos 2600
As per a new report from SEDaily, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy will be fabricated on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm SF2 node, matching the Exynos 2600’s tech. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, slated for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 in H2 2026, won’t power the Galaxy S26 series, which could stick with the Exynos 2600 across all models—S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.
Although the Galaxy S24 Ultra was powered exclusively by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the S24 and S24+ featured the Exynos 2400 in most markets, a similar setup seems unlikely next year. The Samsung-made “For Galaxy” version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 reportedly won’t be ready in time for the Galaxy S26 launch. Sure, Samsung could opt for a TSMC-made 8 Elite 2—which might even perform better—but that would undermine the cost-saving goals of developing an in-house solution. Ultimately, much will depend on how well the Exynos 2600 performs and whether it can meet Samsung’s expectations, especially for the S26 Ultra.
Samsung’s SF2, with its GAAFET design, should theoretically edge out TSMC’s N3P FinFET in efficiency, but Samsung’s past struggles with power and performance raise doubts. Designing the same chip for two nodes—Samsung’s 2nm for foldables and possibly TSMC’s for others—could spark a “Chipgate” redux once again.
If Samsung Foundry nails the 2nm node, it could reclaim glory and power Samsung’s foldables without sacrificing sustained performance and power efficiency. But with TSMC’s track record, Qualcomm’s dual-sourcing gamble is a high-stakes play.
Motorola is doubling down on foldables in 2025, officially unveiling the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra (also branded as Razr (2025) and Razr Ultra) for global markets.
Building on the momentum of last year’s Razr 50 series, the new lineup introduces smarter AI experiences, more powerful hardware, and a fresh new design philosophy. There’s also a new Razr+ (2025) variant coming exclusively to the US market.
Here’s everything you need to know about Motorola’s latest foldables.
Performance
The Razr 60 Ultra headlines the lineup with a serious hardware upgrade. It is powered by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage.
It sports a stunning 7-inch 1.5K pOLED LTPO foldable display with a smooth 1-165Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness that hits 4,000 nits, making it one of the brightest foldable panels you can buy today. The external 4-inch QuickView display has also been upgraded, supporting the same refresh rate with 3,000 nits of brightness and rugged Gorilla Glass Ceramic protection.
Meanwhile, the standard Razr 60 houses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chipset. The internal display here is a slightly smaller 6.96-inch Full HD+ LTPO pOLED panel with 1-120Hz refresh, while the external screen measures 3.63 inches with a 90Hz refresh rate and 1,700 nits peak brightness, covered in Gorilla Glass Victus. RAM tops out at 8GB, paired with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.
Cameras, AI, and Smarter Interactions
Both Razr models come equipped with enhanced camera setups. The Razr 60 Ultra packs a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a surprisingly powerful 50MP front-facing shooter. Video capabilities reach up to 4K recording, ensuring sharp footage whether you’re capturing your surroundings or yourself.
The Razr 60, on the other hand, features a 50MP main sensor paired with a 13MP ultra-wide that doubles as a macro lens. It houses a 32MP selfie camera tucked inside the foldable screen.
But Motorola is betting big on AI this time. The Moto AI experience, featuring features like Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This, has been significantly evolved based on user feedback.
The Ultra model even introduces a dedicated AI Key for quick Moto AI access anywhere, anytime. In stand or tent mode, a new Look & Talk feature lets users interact with Moto AI using just their gaze and voice, no touch needed.
Battery and Charging
The Razr 60 Ultra is powered by a 4700mAh battery and supports 68W TurboPower fast charging alongside 30W wireless charging. Meanwhile, the Razr 60 houses a slightly smaller 4500mAh battery, supporting 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. Motorola claims both devices will easily power through a full day of intensive use, thanks to the more efficient LTPO panels and chipset optimization.
Design
Motorola is pushing new materials into foldables. The Razr 60 Ultra becomes the first smartphone to feature an Alcantara finish, crafted in partnership with an iconic Italian brand, while select models also introduce a wood finish option.
The hinge has been redesigned with titanium reinforcement for better longevity, and both phones carry an IP48 rating, offering protection against dust and moderate water splashes; an improvement, but still short of full water resistance like some competitors.
A Special Razr+ for the US
There’s a special model too. The Razr+ (2025), exclusive to the US, mixes elements of both devices. It pairs a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset with a 50MP main and 50MP telephoto camera, sports a similar external and internal display design, and carries a 4,000mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. It offers a more performance-focused option for users who want a smaller battery but faster internals.
Pricing and Availability
Motorola’s pricing strategy keeps things competitive:
Razr 60 Ultra: Priced at $1,300 in the US and £1,100 in the UK.
Razr 60: Starts at $700 in the US and £800 in the UK.
Razr+ (2025): Available at $1,000, shipping from June 3rd.
Pre-orders for the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra begin on May 7, with full availability through major carriers and retail partners starting May 15.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series was expected to get a hefty software update in May 2025, but a leak from tipster Alfaturk suggests the big changes have been postponed. Instead, the upcoming firmware might only bring the May 2025 security patch, leaving fans waiting for the promised camera and performance boosts.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – S Pen
Early rumors hinted at camera enhancements for sharper photos and better videos, alongside system optimizations. However, Alfaturk’s leak, shared on X, reveals Samsung has pulled back, with the May release now likely limited to a security patch.
The new firmware build swaps “U2” and “DB” for “S3” and “DA” in its bootloader and minor version, signaling a minor update, not a feature-packed one. While stock apps like the system launcher and camera might still get minor refreshes, major upgrades are off the table for now due to unspecified issues during testing. Samsung is known for tweaking updates until they’re rock-solid, so this delay could be a quality control move.
X posts show mixed reactions—some fans are bummed, others trust Samsung’s polishing the update for a later drop, possibly June or July. The S25’s 6.2-6.9-inch AMOLED displays and 200MP cameras (on Ultra) already shine, but enhancements could have pushed Galaxy AI features like Photo Assist further. For now, S25 owners can expect a leaner update via Settings > Software Update, keeping their devices secure but not transformative. Samsung’s next move will decide if this delay pays off with a bigger, better update soon.
For those considering an upgrade but unsure whether to wait for the S26 series, it’s worth noting that the successor may use Exynos chips in most markets—making the S25 likely the safer bet.
