We’ve had some eyebrow-raising smartphone designs this year – and we will have some next year. Did you see yesterday’s leak that showed the Galaxy S26 series dummies? The S26 Edge stood out with a particularly chunky camera island. CAD-based renders have now hit the web, created by OnLeaks. They confirm the overall design and give precise dimensions: 158.4 x 75.7 x 5.5mm. This is 0.3mm thinner than the current S25 Edge, though it doesn’t account for the camera island. Said camera island brings the total thickness up to 10.8mm. That’s... a lot. Especially considering that it spans...

This is the Galaxy S25 FE, and it looks like its predecessor both on paper and in real life. Unsurprisingly, it also ships in a similar box with the same single USB-C cable. The similarities with the Galaxy S24 FE include the 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel, the 8 GB of RAM, the triple camera system, and the design. The Exynos 2400 chipset is also not too different from the 2400e on the outgoing model. The new phone adds 200mAh of battery capacity, although the already slower than most charging speeds are unchanged - 45W wired and 25W wireless. However, the Galaxy S25 FE feels...

The board of course houses the Tensor G5 SoC. The display isn't very easy to remove, being glued very tightly....
