With this year's Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung brings the model much closer to the S25 Series. Size- and design-wise, it's identical to the Galaxy S25+, while it shares the full-fledged Exynos 2400 SoC with last year's Galaxy S24+. Compared to the S25+, the Galaxy S25 FE is around 30% cheaper in Europe and almost 50% cheaper in the US (when you account for storage and you shop from third-party retailers). Based on pricing and the specs sheet alone, the Galaxy S25 FE is the go-to option between the two if you are on a budget, and if that's the case, well, it's already settled. But if...

Flip phones used to rule the world – then touchscreens made them obsolete and then advancements in touchscreens brought them back. The tech industry can be funny that way. The US is missing out on most of the foldable action, but two of the best flips are available. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is a major upgrade from its predecessor – the roomy 4.1” cover display with a regular shape makes using the phone when closed so much easier than the weirdly-shaped 3.4” display on the Z Flip6 ever did. Also, the new model is thinner (6.5mm opened and 13.7mm closed vs. 6.9mm and 14.9mm) with a...

Alongside it in the box you'll find a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a 45W charger. Here's where the tablet becomes a true value proposition. Because it shares a base with the Xiaomi Pad 7, you can accessorize it in a few ways. Poco sells a $99 Focus...
