They are said to be under the "Fan Edition" series, but details are rather scarce at this point.

This signals a slightly different strategy compared to the standard S FE lineup, which tends to get the latest chipset, albeit a...

Motorola Edge 50 reached our office and we are about to run it through our review course. Our unit has a Vegan Suede back named "Koala Grey," although it also comes in the Pantone 2024 Color of the Year Peach Fuzz version.The Edge 50 is rather impressive with its lightweight feel. The back panel has nothing to do with the fuzzy touch of natural suede; it is closer to the thick, buttery feel of synthetic microfiber material.Motorola also provides a protective case in the retail box, which hides the color and offers a more familiar in-hand sensation. It is also snapping only on top...

Samsung's Galaxy S25 family is coming in January, though there's currently a bit of confusion as to whether it will land in early or late January.

That's a nice step up from the 8GB of the entry-level S24, although that one did have a 12GB iteration as well. We're hoping the S25 loses the 8GB tier entirely, but we can never be 100% sure until the actual announcement, so do keep that in mind. The Galaxy S25 models will either all go with...
