Galaxy S25 FE vs regular Galaxy S25: What sets the newcomer apart?
Galaxy S25 FE sets itself apart from the regular S25 in multiple ways.
It uses Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chip instead of the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, has 8GB of RAM instead of 12GB, and comes with an 8MP telephoto lens compared to the S25’s 10MP one.
Even after having a slightly toned-down configuration, the Galaxy S25 FE offers a large display with a higher refresh rate than the iPhone 16 and a massive battery capacity.
On the camera front, the integration of a telephoto lens is nothing short of a steal on a top-notch Galaxy model under $700.
What further complements the overall profile of the latest Galaxy handset is Samsung’s AI tools like Generative Edit for photos, Gemini Live, and the Now Brief hub that keep users posted with updated news, weather, and more.
Galaxy S25 FE camera features
The Galaxy S25 FE boasts a three-lens camera system on the sidelines of a range of new camera functionalities and AI improvements.
While it's not featuring the megapixels found in many top-tier smartphones these days, the Galaxy S25 FE is a value considering its price.
The South Korean tech giant has also announced that the triple camera system will now work in a more integrated manner with Gemini Live than before. This means that it will now more easily learn the pronunciation of difficult food names.
Top-of-the-line features of the Galaxy S25 FE are also photo assists and Audio Eraser that complement your photography experience.
Galaxy Tab S11 prices revealed
Next up, the Galaxy Event 2025 also lifted the veil off the Galaxy Tab S11.
As per the official announcement made during the live Galaxy Event keynote, the all-new Tab S11 comes in $799, while the high-end Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra can be had for $1,199. This one has been claimed as the most powerful Galaxy tablet ever manufactured by the consumer electronics giant, packed with a plethora of AI features and whatnot.
Everything about Galaxy Tab S11 series
The Galaxy Tab S11, the standard variant, has been shipped with a cutting-edge 3nm processor and an 8,400 mAh battery. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra boasts a relatively larger 11,600 mAh battery. The identical property of both Galaxy Tab S11 models is that they both come with 12GB of RAM.
The most standout feature of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra
The most outstanding capability of the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is that its storage can be expanded to 16GB, giving a margin of customisation to those who often deal with graphically challenging stuff on their phones.
Both the Galaxy Tab S11 trims have a solid IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, with their screens shining at a peak brightness of 1,600 nits with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Circle to Search in real time
Samsung has disclosed that Circle to Search will soon have the capability to translate in real-time, making it easier to grasp comics.
Other notable aspects around the Circle to Search include Gemini assisting in gathering information and data. This way, Gemini provides feedback while being able to make some sense of what it views through your camera.
An updated S Pen
The newly refreshed S Pen looks a bit sturdier and has a design that offers better grip and usability while sketching. Besides, the upgraded S Pen allows you to tap the side button to easily access the Pen tools, making the tablet and S Pen an ideal pair.
