As we prepare to start the first full week of the new year we see a phone on top that will likely be there more than a few times through the next 52 weeks. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will not make its official debut for more than two weeks, but it's already the most discussed smartphone on our website. Right behind it we have one of the first smartphones to be announced in 2025 - the Redmi Turbo 4. We strongly suspect its international version dubbed Poco X7 Pro that will be introduced on January 9 will do at least...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/01/weekly-deals-3/-184x111/gsmarena_us.jpg The Black Friday, Prime Day and holiday shopping events of 2024 are now behind us. Everyone who wanted a new phone probably got one during one of those promo campaigns. And there is a good chance they traded in their old phone, so let’s have a look at what the renewed aisle has to offer. We wanted to focus on iPhones this week as Apple devices rarely go on sale, so they are rarely featured in these weekly posts. We will start with the latest models and go back to the iPhone 13 series (which launched in late 2021). Surprisingly, there are renewed iPhone 16 models available....

The Redmi Turbo 4 is official with the Dimensity 8400-Ultra, and a 6,550mAh battery - sound familiar? These specs are similar to those of the upcoming Poco X7 Pro.

Here are the five that most stood out to me. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Let's start strong with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This phone has a unique feature that for some reason has remained exclusive to it, and in 2025 it seems like only its successor will also be able to boast it.

Known so far only by its model number, RMX5020, the device has been certified for sale by the FCC, a move which signifies a global launch.The RMX5020 has dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, nine 4G bands, and a 5,180 mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging.

This time around we have a couple of shots showing the Galaxy S25 or the S25+ (they look exactly the same, the only difference is the size) on one hand, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra on the other.There's an interesting detail in this first image, namely that the outer part of the camera 'rings' matches the color of the phone's back, at least in this rather dark blue hue.As you can see, the frame is flat, the screen is flat, and the bezels are insanely thin (and thinner than last year). Moving on to the Ultra, the color matching of the camera...

This will work because it will be linked to the associated debit card or account, not to your Samsung Wallet. So the transaction itself will be handled through Mastercard and Visa.

While the app is still available to use freely in the US, it’s been removed from the App Store and Google Play. There are plenty of suitors ready to buy TikTok but one ByteDance board member believes there’s still a chance for a solution that does not involve selling the social media app. Bill Ford, who serves as chairman and CEO of General Atlantic equity firm and is also a member of ByteDance's board of directors,...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/01/samsung-galaxy-s25-seamless-updates/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg The rumors were true - Samsung's flagship smartphone line finally supports seamless updates, with the release of the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Korean company has been a holdout for many, many years, and finally implemented the functionality in the Galaxy A55 last year. We assume that was meant to test the waters, and apparently everything has been fine with the A55, so now the feature finally made its way to the S line. What "seamless updates" means is that your device will be unavailable to use for less time when it's updating. That's because the update is...

Yesterday, we could only shoot photos at the event venue, but today we went wandering around San Jose with both Ultras in hand, so we have more photos to share. Many of the changes (if not most) will be coming from the new Snapdragon 8 Elite ISP – Samsung kept most of the camera hardware the same, all but the ultra-wide module. Starting with the main 200MP camera set to its default 12MP mode, the difference in image processing is more noticeable than it was indoors. The older Galaxy...

The Galaxy S25 Edge is officially coming "around April", according to a new report quoting an unnamed Samsung representative speaking at the event. That's reasonably in line with past rumors saying it would land in May at the latest. The phone's obvious main selling point will be its thinness, which has been rumored to be 6.4mm but hasn't...

That’s the case with the Galaxy S25 series and its support for satellite connectivity. As it turns out, the three S25 series are the first phones to officially support Snapdragon Satellite which would allow users to send and receive messages via satellite over narrowband (NB) to non-terrestrial networks (NTN). Qualcomm confirmed the feature in a press release following the S25 series launch.

The company has just announced this seemingly out of nowhere - last we heard anything about the OnePlus Watch 3, it was allegedly launching internationally alongside the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R in January. Needless to say, that never happened. But it will happen next week, and OnePlus isn't shy about showing us the Watch 3 in all its glory and in both of its colorways. The similarities to the OnePlus Watch 2 from last year are hard to ignore. The company promises that the Watch 3 will have up to five days of battery life in...

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/02/weekly-poll-apple-iphone-16e/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg This week saw the hotly-anticipated launch of the new iOS mid-ranger – though with a new starting price of $600/€700/ £600/₹60,000 (128GB storage), “mid-ranger” no longer sounds true. To be fair, this isn’t a new iPhone SE (the last one started at $430 for a 64GB phone). Apple iPhone 16e This is the Apple iPhone 16e. It’s iPhone 16 hardware – a binned Apple A18 chip and just the 48MP main camera from the back – stuffed inside an iPhone 14-style body and using the same 6.1” 60Hz OLED display with a notched Face ID (Touch ID is gone from the phone).

The S25 Ultra is low on dramatic changes, the 16 Pro Max was a polishing job itself - perhaps we've reached a point where we need to focus on and appreciate the little upgrades.

The perception of this phone is that OnePlus fixed some of the major complaints about the 12R (mainly the camera). This led to a positive score on the poll and one major complaint – the price. The 13R matches the price of the 256GB 12R, but the 12R also had a cheaper 128GB model. Well, actually, in Europe and India the 13R got a small price hike. Anyway, while OnePlus phones aren’t regulars at the discount section in stores, they do get price cuts and promos often enough. Things...

The Apple iPhone 16e is the same size as the 16 and it is almost as expensive – it starts at $600/€700/£600/₹60,000 for a 128GB model.

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/03/iphone-16e-impressive-sales/-184x111/gsmarena_000.jpg Once the iPhone 16e came out, it was ridiculed by many as it's substantially pricier than its predecessor, the iPhone SE, and the upgrade since 2022 is underwhelming, to say the least. However, according to a Bloomberg report, the iPhone 16e recorded 60% more sales than its spiritual predecessor. Sure, the iPhone 16e supports Apple Intelligence to some extent, gets a new, more modern design and display, but it's still stuck with one camera, and it costs $170 more than iPhone SE from 2022, which is a lot, even if you account for inflation. However, users don't seem to care, and there...

The former is on sale as of this week, the latter will arrive in about a week’s time (it can be pre-ordered right now, though). The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro share most of their hardware. They use the same 6.77” 1080p+ display (120Hz, 10-bit, HDR10+), the same Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, same 5,000mAh battery with 50W wired-only charging, same IP64 rating (dust-tight, splash resistant) and same Glyph lights on the back....

https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/25/03/weekly-deals-14/-184x111/gsmarena_de.jpg This week, the Nothing Phone (3a) launches as a number of older and not-so-old devices see steep price drops. The Nothing Phone (3a) is a mid-ranger and is available in two configurations, both under €400. Nothing doesn’t do small phones, so this one is equipped with a 6.77” 1080p+ display (120Hz, 10-bit, HDR10+, 3,000 nits). Instead of a Dimensity chip, the company picked a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 this time around. The battery is a 5,000mAh cell with 50W wired-only charging.

That could be thought of as a single issue since both concerns plug into the value-for-money equation, but the result is the same – people don’t feel like they are getting their money’s worth with these A-series phones. Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy A56. It’s pretty clear that most people want to see a discount before considering this phone. It starts at $500/€480 and you can easily find a Galaxy S24...

But we've heard that one before, at least a couple of times. There were rumors right before the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 series releases claiming that the Ultra would either replace the Pro Max or sit above it. Now, the very same rumor is back. According to a report on the Naver blog, the upcoming iPhone 17 Ultra will replace the Pro Max. The claim stems from supply chain market analysis, suggesting that Apple is preparing to launch a phone with new hardware features. For instance, the Ultra will likely adopt a...

Such reports are nothing new, we’ve been hearing about a wireless-only iPhone since at least 2019. Apple reportedly decided to keep the USB-C port for now, allegedly because it feared a port-less phone would be against EU regulations.That is not the case, however. European Commission press officer Federica Miccoli confirmed to 9to5Mac that a device that supports only wireless charging is perfectly within the rules:Yes.
