Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S25 series, has achieved a remarkable milestone—1 million unit sales in just 21 days in South Korea alone. This marks the fastest sales pace in the history of the Galaxy series, breaking the previous record held by the Galaxy S24 series, which took 28 days to reach the same figure.

The Galaxy S25 series has also surpassed the Galaxy Note 10, which held the record for 25 days, making this the fastest-selling Galaxy lineup.

A record-breaking success

The Galaxy S25 series had already set the stage for success with 1.3 million pre-orders in just 11 days. Samsung attributes this achievement to the series’ improved performance (thanks to the Snapdragon flagship), slim and relatively lightweight design (S25 is just 162g), and the integration of personalized Galaxy AI features.

According to a company survey, the top reason for purchasing the Galaxy S25 series was its performance, including the latest processor and memory capabilities. It’s impressive to see the Galaxy flagships that used to struggle in sustaining heavy workloads now competing head-to-head with the performance-centric flagships.

On the surface, the Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 200MP camera and a titanium frame, which accounted for about 50% of total sales. Popular color options included Titanium Silver Blue and Titanium White Silver for the Ultra, while the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 saw high demand in Ice Blue and Silver Shadow.

Interestingly, all models of the series retain most of the design choices and specifications of their predecessors. While the new chip is more capable and more efficient, its the same for its competitors, such as the OnePlus 13.

The Ultra model does have rounded corners, and the camera modules look bigger this time due to the external metal ring. But most of the sensors inside have been there for over two years.

While most of Samsung’s competitors on the Android side have adopted the Si/C battery tech, Samsung didn’t even upgrade the battery capacity for its newest models. That said, the few design tweaks and the new chip might not be the sole reason for this sales record.

Innovative subscription program could also be a contributing factor behind the success

Samsung’s New Galaxy AI Subscription Club also reportedly played a significant role in driving sales. This program, available for self-pay models, offers a 50% residual price guarantee after one year of use and includes Samsung Care Plus benefits. The program proved particularly popular among younger consumers, with 60% of subscribers in their 20s and 30s.

Nothing Phone (3a) series teased at MWC 2025: chipset and design confirmed hours before launch

By

-

Mar 4, 2025

The highly anticipated Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro are set to debut on March 4. But ahead of the launch, Nothing has given fans one last glimpse of the devices. Showcased at Qualcomm’s booth at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, Spain, the phones confirmed their design and highlighted their Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, which promises a balance of performance and efficiency.

A focus on cameras

Nothing’s co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, emphasized “big upgrades in the camera department” during the event. According to a previous teaser, the camera setup of the (3a) Pro includes a 50MP “Shake Free” main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP telephoto camera with a periscope lens, an 8MP Sony-made ultrawide lens, and a 50MP front camera.

According to a previous rumor, the periscope telephoto offers 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and an impressive 60x “ultra” zoom capability. Nothing has so far offered only two back cameras – main and ultrawide – and it’s good to see the pro model include a periscope telephoto, which, paired with the 3x optical zoom, also suggests that the sensor size is reasonably large.

For the sake of comparison, Samsung is still using the age-old 1/3.52″ (10MP) sensor for the 3x telephoto in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The other models of the series pack an even smaller 1/1.3.94″ sensor for the purpose. By the way, if you’re interested in Samsung’s achievements in this aspect, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has ranked 24th in DxOMark’s camera test.

Of course, smartphone photography still heavily relies on software processing, with the latest addition being AI. In fact, phones like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra kick in AI enhancement by default as soon as you cross 20x zoom. Nothing is still a relatively new player in the smartphone industry, and it remains to be seen how it will compete with the big players.

That said, you won’t have to wait long to see the full details. The Nothing Phone (3a) series will be officially unveiled today at 10 AM GMT.

Viltrox just dropped a 25mm F1.7 lens that’s perfect for travel and street photography

By

-

Mar 3, 2025

Viltrox has unveiled the AF 25mm F1.7 Air, a compact, featherweight prime lens designed for APS-C cameras. Available in Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Nikon Z mounts, this lens strikes a compelling balance between portability, performance, and affordability, catering to both photography enthusiasts and content creators.

Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air Specifications

Viltrox is leaning hard into the concept of “lightweight without compromise.” Weighing just 170g, the AF 25mm F1.7 Air is barely heavier than a smartphone, making it an easy choice for on-the-go shooters. The design ditches unnecessary bulk while maintaining a solid metal mount, giving it a sturdy yet travel-friendly build. The absence of an aperture ring keeps the operation streamlined, with settings controlled directly via the camera body.

With an effective 38mm full-frame equivalent focal length, this lens sits in a sweet spot between standard and wide-angle views. The large F1.7 aperture provides strong low-light performance and creamy bokeh, courtesy of its nine-blade diaphragm. Internally, the lens features a 12-element, 10-group construction, including extra-low dispersion and high-refractive index elements, reducing chromatic aberrations and ensuring sharp, high-contrast images.

Viltrox has equipped the AF 25mm F1.7 Air with a stepping motor (STM) that delivers smooth, silent, and accurate autofocus. It supports eye and face detection autofocus, making it particularly useful for street photography, portraits, and vlogging. The autofocus system is snappy on supported camera bodies, tracking subjects with ease in both photo and video modes.

For video shooters, minimal focus breathing is a huge plus, preventing distracting shifts in framing during focus pulls. Combined with in-body stabilization from compatible camera bodies, this lens offers smooth, handheld shooting without excessive jitter. The near-silent autofocus also ensures clean audio capture during recording.

Price and Availability

The Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air is now available for purchase at an MSRP of $176 / €189 / £165.

TECNO Day 1 MWC 2025: Ultra Slim Smartphone, Tri-fold, AI, & More

By

Joel Joseph

-

Mar 3, 2025

Barcelona was busy today as tech enthusiasts, executives, and brands from all over the world flocked to the halls of Fira Gran Via for Mobile World Congress 2025. Me and my colleague Will went across a lot of booths to get you the best coverage from the event.

We also spent a considerable amount of time at TECNO’s booth (6B11, Hall 6) based on the “Create the AI Future” theme that promises more than just flashy tech, an AI practical for everyday users, especially in emerging markets.

Key Products from Tecno at MWC 2025

The CAMON 40 Series stole the spotlight on Day 1, showcasing some impressive camera capabilities. The “One-Tap FlashSnap” was interesting and helped capture fast-moving subjects with remarkable clarity.

TECNO’s booth also features their foldable phones—the PHANTOM V2 Flip 5G and PHANTOM V2 Fold 5G—which were launched in 2024.

What was the most interesting though was TECNO’s first-ever AI Glasses Series. These aren’t just smart glasses; they’re trying to bring smartphone-level photography capabilities to eyewear.

The Pro version takes things even further with AR display features that hint at a future where our screens might be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

However, the brand says we’ll get more details on that tomorrow on Day 2.

The Next Generation of Work and Play

The MEGABOOK S14 laptop was another standout at the booth. It is being touted as the world’s lightest 14-inch laptop with a 2.8K OLED display, and manages to pack serious AI functionality into an ultra-portable frame. The Ella AI Voice Assistant onboard offers more than just basic commands—brings contextual understanding in conversations.

Products of the Future

Probably the most interesting part of TECNO’s display was their concept corner.

The SPARK Slim showed off an ultra-slim profile in a beautiful silver design, while there was also the tri-fold PHANTOM Ultimate 2 with a tablet-sized screen that could fit in your pocket.

The Tecno Spark Slim is extremely thin at 5.75mm but doesn’t cut down on battery life since it features a healthy 5200mAh capacity one inside. I remember the older super slim smartphones like the vivo X3 could only feature a 2000mAh battery in such a slim form factor. It didn’t make sense back then given the battery cost, but today, 10 years later, 5.75mm with a 5200mAh battery sounds like a good idea.

The tri-fold was also an important highlight of the booth, featuring a beautiful, large tablet-sized device that can be folded into your pocket.

What’s Next

We are waiting for more details on the glasses, the CAMON 40’s Tecno AI, and the MEGABOOK S14, which should likely be unveiled tomorrow.

By

-

Mar 3, 2025

ZTE has introduced a new range of AI-powered 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Mobile Broadband (MBB) devices at MWC Barcelona 2025. The company, which has led the global 5G FWA and MBB market for four consecutive years, unveiled three products integrating next-generation technologies, including 5G-Advanced and Wi-Fi 7.

The newly launched products reflect ZTE’s approach to integrating artificial intelligence into wireless solutions. The AI-driven lineup includes the ZTE G5 Ultra, the ZTE G5 Max Wi-Fi, and the ZTE U60 Pro, all featuring AI-powered network optimization and management functions.

New AI-Enhanced 5G FWA & MBB Devices

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra ranks 24th in DxOMark’s camera test

By

-

Mar 3, 2025

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, despite topping DxOMark’s display rankings, has secured the 24th position in the platform’s camera test with a score of 146. The Galaxy flagship falls short of leading competitors like the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra (163 points) and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Honor Magic 6 Pro (158 points each) in numerous aspects.

Strengths and weaknesses of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera

DxOMark praised the Galaxy S25 Ultra for its strong zoom capabilities, where it retains reasonably good detail. The device also excels in exposure and dynamic range management in bright light conditions, which ensures well-balanced photos and videos. Skin tones appear natural in simpler scenes, and video color rendering remains authentic, with a neutral white balance in both indoor and outdoor settings.

However, several aspects of the camera managed to disappoint DxOMark. This device reportedly struggled with autofocus instabilities and exposure adaptation in video mode, leading to inconsistent performance. Noise is another downside of this phone, which becomes noticeable in low-light situations, both for photos and videos.

High-contrast scenes in low-light only make the situation worse—shots sometimes exhibit white balance casts. Additionally, the bokeh mode fails to activate sometimes, which makes the camera system less reliable than many of its competitors. Check out all the pros and cons in the image below.

The brand only upgraded the ultrawide this year, while most of the smartphone makers from Chima aimed to fit the latest and best imaging hardware in their flagships. On the other side, Samsung is still using the age-old 10MP, 1/3.52″ sensor for the 3x telephoto. The relatively new 5x telephoto and the main sensor are also quite small as compared to the ones inside the flagships from China, which kinda explains the noise problem.

Samsung introduced its ALOP lens tech last year, which reportedly makes it easier to fit larger sensors inside the phone without increasing the protrusion of the camera module. It remains to be seen how soon Samsung’s smartphone decision adopts the tech for their Galaxy flagships. We hope it happens soon, as it will not only benefit the Galaxy flgships but will also increase the competition for all brands in the space.

Nubia’s Flip 2 goes global with a bigger cover screen and waterproofing

Mar 3, 2025

After debuting in Japan earlier this year, Nubia is bringing its second-gen clamshell foldable to the global market at MWC 2025. The Nubia Flip 2 comes with a larger cover display, improved durability, and a new MediaTek chipset. Let’s get into the details here.

A bigger cover screen, same sleek foldable design

The Flip 2 keeps the 6.9-inch OLED main display from its predecessor, featuring FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. But the real upgrade is the cover screen—gone is the tiny circular display of the original Flip.

Instead, Nubia has opted for a 3-inch rectangular panel (422 x 682 pixels), making it more practical for quick notifications, app shortcuts, and widgets without unfolding the device.

Flanking the cover display is a dual-camera setup: a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. Inside, it has a 32MP lens for selfies and video calls.

Underneath, the Flip 2 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chipset, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Keeping things running is a 4,300mAh battery with PD 3.0 fast charging, which Nubia claims can go 0 to 100% in 55 minutes.

The Flip 2 also gets some durability improvements. While it’s not fully waterproof, it does come with an IPX2 rating (resistant to water drips) and IP4X protection (safe from objects larger than 1mm, like dust particles).

Price

The Nubia Flip 2 is priced at €699 for the 6GB/128GB variant and is available in Night Black and Lalic Purple color.

Mar 3, 2025

Xiaomi is now setting its sights on the global home appliance market. At MWC 2025, the company announced plans to expand the availability of its large home appliances, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers, to international markets later this year. This move positions Xiaomi as a direct competitor to established giants like Samsung and LG.

Xiaomi’s global ambitions

While Xiaomi did not specify which countries will be the first, it is likely that the initial rollout will target European and Southeast Asian markets. This expansion marks a significant step in Xiaomi’s strategy to diversify its product portfolio.

Xiaomi is mainly recognized as a brand for affordable, high-quality smartphones and smart home devices. By entering the global home appliance market, the company aims to replicate this success and offer consumers a broader range of products that integrate seamlessly with its existing ecosystem of devices.

Samsung, one of the world’s largest home appliance manufacturers, will face increased competition as Xiaomi brings its competitive pricing and innovative technology to the global stage. Xiaomi’s entry into this market could disrupt the status quo, particularly in regions where consumers are looking for cost-effective alternatives to premium brands.

The global availability of Xiaomi’s home appliances promises to deliver more choices for consumers. It may also increase the competition and motivate other brands to bring down the prices of their products or encourage innovation. With its reputation for combining affordability with advanced features, Xiaomi is expected to become a formidable contender in the home appliance industry.

It is clear that the company is not just challenging Samsung but also reshaping the competitive landscape of the global home appliance market. Consumers worldwide can look forward to more options and better value in the near future.
