We’ve almost certainly gotten our first look at the official Samsung Galaxy S25 renders, even if they weren’t shared by an official source. Reliable tipster Evan Blass sent these renders out through his mailing list, and appear as official as they get. Not only do the phones look good, but they also show a lot of detail for the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, including some expected colors: light blue, light green, dark blue, and silver.

The renders don’t really provide any new information, but they do corroborate what we’ve seen, and give us a closer look at the phones. All of the Galaxy S25 models have narrow bezels and a punch-hole camera on the front. The phone appears to be flat on both the front and back, as well as the sides.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra takes things a step further with notably rounded corners and slightly different colors, although this wasn’t unexpected. We’ve known the S25 Ultra would have titanium colors for a while now: blue, silver, black, and gray.

You might notice the S25 Slim isn’t included in these renders. That’s a pretty firm confirmation that the rumored phone won’t be announced at Galaxy Unpacked, but possibly later in the year, and perhaps around the same time as the next Galaxy FE would normally be released. The renders come at the perfect time, just as marketing materials for the S25 series give us another look at the device and illustrate some of the new AI features to expect on the Galaxy S25.

You can expect to see the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra at Unpacked on January 22, and while the S25 Slim might get teased at the event, we don’t expect it to hit shelves until May.

The App Store is filled with premium task managers, and like Things 3, Todoist, and OmniFocus, despite buying and switching between several of them, I keep coming back to Apple Reminders.

Google may finally ditch Samsung’s modem in the Pixel 11, and Tensor G6 could be better for it
FCC paperwork for Google’s next foldable points to MediaTek, raising hopes for lower power use and a cleaner break from Tensor’s Exynos roots

Google may be preparing its biggest Tensor hardware split yet. As spotted by Android Authority, FCC testing for an unreleased foldable Google phone includes a reference to MediaTek radio-frequency software, adding weight to reports that the Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 could leave Samsung’s Exynos modem behind.

Every previous Tensor chip has used Samsung modem hardware. Changing suppliers won’t guarantee better battery life or reception, but it gives Google a fresh path after years of leaning on the same underlying technology.

Apple’s iPhone Ultra could one-up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a bigger battery
4,883mAh total capacity, two cells, and two screens drawing power. Somewhere between "fine" and "I hope Apple's software does the heavy lifting."
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple's foldable iPhone is getting closer to its September announcement. Despite rumors of a delay, a recent report claimed that Foxconn is hiring temporary workers to ramp up production of the Ultra. Now we have a number for one of its most important specs: the battery.

I'll be honest: when I saw the battery figure, my reaction was somewhere between "that works" and "I was hoping for more."
