Samsung starts Galaxy A13 5G production in India, launch seems near
In early December 2021, Samsung introduced the Galaxy A13 5G smartphones in the US market. Now Samsung Galaxy A13 5G production begins in the Greater Noida factory in India. It means that the phone may launch in a few weeks in the country.
Basically, the device was expected to launch in India last month, however, there seems to have been some delay. Now the March 2022 launch is expected but when exactly is yet to be revealed. Well, the Galaxy A13 4G is also gearing up to introduce in India, probably, the company could launch both 4G and 5G devices on the same day.

Samsung Galaxy A13 5G India:
Samsung Galaxy A13 5G is a budget smartphone that comes with a 6.5-inch display, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 1600 x 720 pixels resolution. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, which features eight CPU cores supported by 4GB RAM.
Moreover, the device features a 50MP triple rear camera setup that consists of a 50MP (f/1.8) main sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth shooter. On the front, it has a 5MP selfie camera.
Aside from these, the Galaxy A13 5G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging. It has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB C-Type port for charging.
While considering the software, recently the Galaxy A13 4G launched with pre-installed Android 12-based One UI 4.1, there are chances that the Galaxy A13 5G will come with the same software system.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus could look the same as S24 Plus from the front. The company has reportedly reduced side bezels on the vanilla and Ultra variants. Meanwhile, the lineup’s middle child could introduce no bezel refinements.
The Galaxy S25 Plus could have wider bezels than S25 and S25 Ultra. Tipster IceUniverse claims that the move is aligned with differentiating the Plus from Ultra. It’s also said that the recently leaked renders have frame appearance errors.
The S25 Ultra is said to be slightly thicker and more squarish than the S25 Plus. This is highly due to identical display size with a difference of only 0.1mm. The backplate will have notable differences due to distinct cameras and sensors.
Samsung’s next-gen flagships will likely debut in January next year. Details about the upcoming phones are floating heavily, fading the One UI 7 trend. However, things may change with time as early rumors couldn’t be considered final specs.
A bad news,S25+ will be the widest bezel among the three models, which is almost the same as S24+.
It may be that Samsung did this on purpose to make way for S25 Ultra.

I have a more accurate CAD than onleaks, which contains lines that were missing before, so I know this.

The Galaxy S25 Plus could be equipped with a 4900mAh battery. Similar to the S24 Plus, it would support 45W fast charging technology. Yet, you can expect even longer battery performance due to the enhanced application processor.
Samsung will either use Exynos 2500 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Both chipsets will be developed using the next-generation 3nm chipset. Improved display technology may further push the power efficiency, offering even more juice to run.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra would be super sleek against the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple recently launched its new iPhone lineup, with shipments starting on the 20th. Samsung will likely debut the new flagship phones in January 2025.
A new rumor suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra camera lens is greatly sleek as compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Leaker IceUniverse compared the thickness of both flagships’ camera lenses, suggesting a notable difference.
Per the info, the Galaxy S25 Ultra lens could be just 2.4mm thick. Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max comes with a 4.3mm thick camera module. It’s over 1.5x of the camera thickness of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Despite equipping better camera hardware, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could maintain its thickness. Camera modules on Chinese phones are already monstrous (in size), which won’t create a sleekness load against the upcoming S25 Ultra.
If the rumor is true, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the finest and sleekest flagship in 2025. The company has reportedly upscaled the hardware game, with the design department also working hard to make the device vastly acceptable.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to be 8 grams heavier than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Samsung reduced the thickness of the middle frame, as part of reducing the weight. However, things may be cleared as the time of official debut comes close.

At least three Android vendors set to copy iPhone 16’s Camera Control button. I wish Samsung to bring a camera control button to Galaxy phones. Meanwhile, we might see it on at least three different Android phones this year.
Realme, Oppo, and Nubia could debut the iPhone 16-like Camera Control button on their upcoming device. After confirmation from Oppo and Nubia, a Realme exec has posted a video of a camera button on one of the brand’s phones.
The camera button on that Realme model works quite similarly to the iPhone 16. It’s a touch feedback button, which offers different adjustment tools. Zoom in and Zoom out in the camera viewfinder will be the most useful addition.
It isn’t the first time Chinese vendors blindly stealing Apple’s iPhone features. When the Dynamic Island was introduced by iPhone 14 Pro, many Chinese phone makers brought a replica on their entry-level smartphones.
In particular, Nubia has confirmed that its next smartphone will offer a camera shutter button. OPPO is also said to offer a camera shutter button on the Find X8 series. Beyond that, Realme demonstrated the feature in a real-life unit.
Sony has kept a physical camera shutter button alive on its flagship models. Apple just made good use of the key, fueling it with additional controls. The software magic is worth praise, triggering a notch-like area on the screen for visibility.
Apple says the iPhone 16’s Camera Control is a tactile switch that powers the click experience. The button has a high-precision force sensor, which realizes the light press gesture, and a capacitive sensor to offer touch-based interactions.
Samsung waits and replicates Apple?
One UI 6 copied a lot of features and customization tools from iOS 17 last year. We are hearing that the Galaxy S25 series could debut iPhonified design. The frame could go flat, with Samsung already ditched its iconic curved screen.
