Samsung Galaxy S25

Next week, Google will take to the stage to announce, among other things, the Pixel 10 lineup. It’s been a long time coming; we first started hearing about the Pixel 10 over two years ago, when word of its TSMC-made Tensor G5 chipset first started leaking. As is usual for Google launches, countless renders and rumors have painted a pretty clear picture of the entire series, pairing an all-too-familiar exterior with, seemingly, some pretty meaningful under-the-hood changes.

Solid evidence that Samsung is looking to make lineup changes for its Galaxy devices is mounting. A recent earnings call from the company detailed an earlier launch for what might be Samsung’s new base model Galaxy S device – the Galaxy S25 FE.

Samsung is planning a big expansion of AI features on Galaxy phones, and claims that a huge percentage of its users are already leveraging AI features in one way or another.

Even though it feels like Samsung just launched the current version of One UI, One UI 8 is already seemingly around the corner. A new update to the Galaxy S25 sets the phone up to receive Samsung’s next-gen software.

Samsung’s One UI 8 update based on Android 16 is now available to download, and there’s a whole new process for entering the beta program. Here’s how to install One UI 8 on your Galaxy S25.

After weeks of rumors, Samsung has just released the first One UI 8 beta, based on Android 16, for the Galaxy S25 series in select regions.

Samsung’s flagship series has been in a rough state for a few years, but the company is apparently off to a great start with the Galaxy S25 series, seeing a 40% bump over the Galaxy S24’s numbers so far.

In its latest quarterly revenue announcement, Samsung is teasing the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge launch while touting “strong” sales of the Galaxy S25 series.

Magnetic charging has been a big part of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 launch despite the fact that these phones don’t have magnets built in, but an odd note was the disappearance of a neat 3-in-1 wireless charger. Finally, it has resurfaced, but it’s still not shipping to customers yet.

Android announced a new set of cross-device services last year, and both have been made available for the company’s Pixel lineup. Nearly a year later, Google has updated support for cross-device services like instant hotspot to include the Galaxy S25, and maybe more of Samsung’s devices.

Following Verizon’s announcement yesterday, Spectrum Mobile and Xfinity Mobile have both confirmed that Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 owners on their networks will be getting satellite messaging “in the coming weeks.”

Verizon has announced that its customers can now use satellite texting to any phone number, but only if they’re using a Google Pixel 9 or Samsung Galaxy S25 device.

The Galaxy S25 series has been a surprisingly exciting addition to Samsung’s similar yet barely different lineup of phones, and Now Brief is a big part of that. The function acts as a way for you to catch up on the day, with pertinent information summarized in one place. There’s just one problem — it’s incredibly bland.

After launching for iPhone in 2024, the Clicks keyboard case is coming to Android, with support for Pixel 9, the Galaxy S25, and the Motorola Razr+.

Before One UI 7, Samsung’s OS has always been a little hit or miss in some areas. I could never get fully invested in the ecosystem with proprietary apps that just weren’t as good as what Google offered. In Samsung’s latest One UI version, the Edge Panel is filled with apps I’ll actually use, which means it might stay activated this time.

One UI 7 did a lot to bring Samsung’s phones up to a new standard, and some cool little features that usually fly under the radar are included in that. One UI 7 lets you change your power button shortcut to much more than a launcher for a handful of Samsung apps, like changing Modes in an instant. Here’s how it works.

The Galaxy S25+ looks almost exactly like the phone that came before it, and everything on the inside is almost exactly the same, too, minus a couple of small improvements. But for some reason, the Galaxy S25+ feels dramatically different and finds itself in my favorites list with relative ease.

Samsung’s latest smartphones still don’t have proper Qi2 support, but the company is selling a “Magnet” case for the Galaxy S25 series, and those cases are now finally available widely for purchase.
