TENAA revealed Samsung W25 Flip design ahead of launch
Samsung could be launching the W25 Flip (Galaxy Z Flip6) in China soon. The company has recently announced a special event aimed at a Special Edition foldable product unveiling.
Recently, an alleged Samsung W25 Flip appeared on China’s TENAA certification. The smartphone shares design language with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 launched globally in July this year.
Samsung will launch Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition on October 21 in South Korea. It looks like the company is bringing the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 to China as W25 and W25 Flip models.
The Special Edition foldable is rumored to be available in South Korea and China only. The phone brings some major upgrades over the Galaxy Z Fold 6 to compete against Chinese rivals.
The W25 (Fold6) has the model number SM-W9025, whereas the W25 Flip gets SM-W7025. The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition may end up being sold in China as the Samsung W25.
TENAA revealed that the W25 Flip has the same dimensions as the Z Flip6, but comes in at a heftier 198g. It differs from the 187g of the Z Flip6, suggesting a difference in build material.
The device sports a 6.7-inch main screen, a 3.4″ cover display, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 under the hood, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 50MP camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10 MP selfie snapper.
Samsung could launch Galaxy A26 5G with a faster Exynos 1280 chipset. The company is developing a mid-range smartphone with improved specifications. It could be announced later this year or early next year.
The Galaxy A26 5G has appeared on Geekbench with a faster Exynos 1280 chip. The processor’s performance cores are clocked at 2.6GHz. The S5E8825 chip features two Cortex-A78 CPU cores, six Cortex-A55 CPU cores and ARM’s Mali-G68 GPU.
The SoC usually runs at 2.4GHz, hence, the A26 5G could get a slightly faster variant. It appears that the Korean tech giant has tweaked the performance core’s frequency to a level that won’t crush its efficiency and heat management.
The handset was carrying model number SM-A266B (via SamMobile). It will support 5G network connectivity and run the latest Android 15 operating system. The prototype model was equipped with 6GB of RAM, probably with 128GB storage.
We’ve recently seen the renders of the Galaxy A36 5G smartphone. The company could introduce a brand new camera island design with the device. A vertical camera island, containing tripel camera sensors will be featured on the A36 5G.
As the competition is rising, we wish Samsung to equip the A26 5G with a modern punch-hole display. It would have a 5000mAh battery and 25W fast charging support apart from 50-megapixel primary camera.
A stunning Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leak reveals bold color shades. The company’s next flagship will be available in four standard colorways. A leaker has recently revealed the hues that will be offered after the official debut.
IceUniverse revealed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra color options ahead of launch. The tentative shades include Black, Green, Blue, and Titanium. It would be more pleasing to hear the official marketing names of these colors.
Here, the Green and Blue appear to be a different shade from the S24 Ultra. These shades seemingly replace the Yellow and Purple colorway of the S24 Ultra. The current Ultra model offers Titanium Gray, Black, Violet, and Yellow.
Samsung opted for a Titanium frame in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to use an even more durable and lightweight Titanium frame. We’ve already heard rumors of a lightweight flagship next year.
Last heard, the Galaxy S25 Ultra would not continue to boxy design with sharp corners. Instead, the corners are now “slightly” rounded, making it easier to hand longer. The corners will no longer crush your palm while using it for a longer duration.
The middle frame’s thickness is also reduced so the phone can feel even more sleek. It would be marginally narrower than the S24 Ultra. The alleged increment of 0.1mm in screen size makes it taller than this year’s Ultra flagship.
The rear side is also getting design refinements. Samsung is sticking with the camera sensor placement under its signature design philosophy. The rings, meanwhile, getting tweaked with the addition of textured circles inside, inspired by Fold6.
Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 series in the first quarter of the next year. TM Roh is said to be joining Snapdragon Summit to finalize the Snapdragon deal for Galaxy. Many more exciting developments are yet to come!
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G is set to debut a brand new camera island design. The phone’s launch is expected in March next year. Giznext collaborated with Onleaks to reveal the first look at this upcoming mid-range smartphone.
The company seemingly differentiating its Galaxy S series design from mid-range phones. The current generation of Galaxy A features a signature design. There’s no camera island for the sensors, with all appearing separately.
Galaxy A36 5G could bring a brand new design, replicating the Z Fold 6 camera island. The sensor placement is unchanged, but the sensors have a surrounding island. It’s a major design shift after three generations of identical appearance.
The vertical pill contains three camera sensors, with the inner area painted Black. This approach differentiates the camera island from the remaining area on the back panel – making it look stand out of the previous models.
Additionally, the frame is flat featuring Key Island design the same as its predecessor. The display remains modern with punch-hole camera cutout. The bezel profile also remains same with minimal changes in overall thickness.
The report notes that the Galaxy A36 5G will have a relatively thin profile with its dimensions measuring roughly 162.6 x 77.9 x 7.4mm and 9.6mm thickness (with camera bump). On the right spine, the power button and volume rockers are placed.
There’s a possibility of an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone’s side key doesn’t integrate the fingerprint scanner for biometrics authentication. The remaining slots including the USB Type-C port, and SIM card tray are placed at the bottom.
A recent Geekbench listing suggested that the Galaxy A36 5G will use a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. The chipset will fuel additional AI capabilities, making the A36 5G compatible to run more new AI-derived features.
