Galaxy S25 FE leak confirms an important battery upgrade
New listings for TÜV Rheinland certification have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might support 10V/4.5A or 15V/3A wired fast charging. Those numbers translate to a charging speed of 45W, which would be a significant upgrade over previous Fan Edition models.
Last year's Galaxy S24 FE only supported a 25W charging speed. The same is true for the current Galaxy S25 and the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge, which also charge with 25W.
If the Galaxy S25 FE charges with 45W, it'll match Samsung's ultra-flagship model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the Galaxy S25 Plus.
The Galaxy S25 FE shapes up as one of the most significant upgrades to Samsung's Fan Edition devices. Earlier rumors have claimed that the device would have a redesign, which might make it much thinner than before and shrink its bezels. According to earlier information, the Galaxy S25 FE might be only 7.4mm thick, which is almost as thin as the base Galaxy S25 . Samsung's vanilla flagship is 7.2mm thick.The visual changes might not negatively affect the internals. If the rumors turn out to be true, we can expect the same 4,700mAh battery as inside last year's model, though some still hope for a little boost to 5,000mAh.

Samsung is very likely to choose its own Exynos 2400 chipset for the Galaxy S25 FE, which we've already seen inside another fan edition — the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The same chip was also inside the Galaxy S24 series.
Samsung usually releases its Fan Edition devices in the fall, and last year the Galaxy S24 FE was released in September. We could expect a similar timeframe for the release of the Galaxy S25 FE, though we don't have any official information yet.
I think the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up as a mighty competitor. If Samsung manages to keep the battery size and the price while trimming the body down and increasing the charging speed, this phone will be impressive. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra might steal the Oppo K13 Turbo's most interesting feature
Oppo is unveiling the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro on July 21, and both devices will feature a built-in active cooling fan, but also IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance despite the presence of the fan. Now a new rumor out of China says OnePlus is looking very closely at what its sister brand has done and might in fact decide to steal the K13 Turbo range's unique pairing. Oppo K13 Turbo's fan Apparently, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra could feature both a cooling fan and impressive water resistance, just like Oppo's K13 Turbo devices. At the moment, OnePlus hasn't decided on the matter, at least that's the vibe we're getting, but it may do so soon, considering the Ace 5 Ultra launched in May and so its successor will probably arrive around the same time (or around a month earlier) next year. According to the source of this rumor, many more brands are currently testing built-in fans for future smartphones, so this may become the next big trend out of China, even eventually reaching flagships.

Huawei's comeback continues as it reaches a goal for the first time in over four years
For the first time in years, Huawei has returned to the top of the Chinese smartphone market. During the second quarter of 2025, which ended in June, the beleaguered manufacturer owned 18% of the Chinese smartphone market according to IDC. Overall the number of smartphone shipments made in China during Q2 declined by 4% to 69 million units. Against this backdrop of weakness in the country, other Chinese smartphone manufacturers, such as Oppo and vivo, also showed signs of slumping. Even though it did take the top spot in its home market for the first time in over 4 years, Huawei did report a 3.4% decline in shipments for the quarter. The 12.5 million phones it delivered over the three months left it with an 18.1% market share. During the quarter, Huawei released the latest version of its photography-based flagship series, the Pura 80. The four models in the line included: Pura 80 Pura 80 Pro Pura 80 Pro+ Pura 80 Ultra The largest decline in Chinese smartphone shipments year-over-year during Q2 belonged to vivo. This weakness took vivo out of first place where it was during last year's second quarter and moved it to second behind Huawei. During the quarter, vivo's smartphone shipments dropped 10.1% to 11.9 million units, leaving it with a market share of 17.3% Apple fans are asking, "Where's Apple? Certainly, Apple is next?" But the answer to that is a resounding "NOPE." Actually, Oppo took third place, and the 10.7 million smartphones it delivered during the second quarter were 5% less than it shipped during the same quarter last year. Oppo finished the second quarter with a 15.5% slice of the Chinese smartphone market pie. For the first time in over four years, Huawei tops the Chinese smartphone market during Q2. | Image credit-IDC So now we are about to divulge which company was the fourth largest smartphone shipper in China during Q2, and we can tell those Apple fans out there that not number four. That spot belongs to Xiaomi, a company once known as China's Apple due to the designs of its smartphones that paid homage to Apple's iPhones at the time. Xiaomi was the only firm to hike its smartphone shipments in China during the second quarter, raising the number of units delivered by 3.4% to 10.4 million, giving it a market share of 15.1%. Lastly, in fifth place after shipping 9.6 million iPhones in China during the June quarter, Apple saw its phone shipments slip 1.3%. That left Apple with a 13.9% market share in China for the second quarter. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7's greatest strength came from Exynos
This year, Samsung used its in-house Exynos 2500 chipset in the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable phone. Using Exynos, and not a Snapdragon alternative, is primarily the reason why the company was able to price the Flip 7 the same as its predecessor: the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 saw a considerable price bump over the Fold 6, due in part to the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor inside. Not only did Samsung avoid ( translated source ) that with the Flip 7 , but it also introduced a new budget foldable line this year with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. The Exynos 2500 is the same 3 nm chip that Samsung had initially planned to debut across the Galaxy S25 phones. Unfortunately for Samsung, yield issues prevented that from happening in time, and the company had to rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite instead. Now, Samsung is trying its best to make sure that the 2 nm Exynos 2600 is perfected in time for the launch of the Galaxy S26 phones next year. If that happens, then the company may have a similar price-related surprise in store. Especially considering that Qualcomm has reportedly decided to increase the costs of its chipsets. The entire Samsung Galaxy S25 series uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite. | Video credit — Samsung Of course, it's no secret that many Samsung users prefer Snapdragon processors over Exynos. Historically, Samsung's processors have lagged behind Qualcomm's chips, both in performance and efficiency. If Exynos doesn't catch up soon, then the pricing upsides will come with the downside of somewhat reduced performance.I've been a proponent of the Exynos chips for quite a while now. Samsung may one day make the same kind of leap that Apple did when it introduced the M-series chips to the Mac and MacBook. For now, however, it's a bit of a compromise. The latest reports indicate that Samsung is still trying to improve the yields of the Exynos 2600. I really do hope that the chips can be ready in time, because otherwise we're very likely to see a price increase for the Galaxy S26 phones. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
