Only the Galaxy S25 Ultra will get a camera upgrade, S25 and S25+ to retain the same hardware

Samsung's top-tier Galaxy S25 lineup is more than six months away, but GalaxyClub claims to reveal the trio's camera specs. Unfortunately, only the Galaxy S25 is getting a notable camera upgrade, while the vanilla S25 and the S25+ will settle for the same hardware as their predecessors.

The report claims that the Galaxy S25 and S25+ will get the same triple-camera setup on the back and retain the 12MP selfie unit on the front. This means that the S25 and S25+ will be the fourth generation in a row with the same camera hardware.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra, on the other hand, will boast...

The European Union has reportedly settled with Apple over its use of near-field communication system (NFC) to allow access for third-party payment platforms.

Leaked images show the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, plus the Galaxy Ring in its charging chase

Here is another look at the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring, this time without the pixelization filter. These images were posted by Ice Universe on Weibo and show the new flagship smartwatch in two colorways and the charging case for the ring.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is shown in dark gray and in silver, both with an orange color accent on the digital crown. This is a new development – Galaxy Watches don’t have crowns, they use a rotating bezel for navigation (either a physical or a virtual bezel). Note that while we’re calling this a “crown”, it might just be another...

Sony Xperia 1 VII camera rumor points to larger telephoto and ultrawide sensors

A tipster from China shared some early info and renders for the Sony Xperia VII’s cameras. There is plenty of room for doubt regarding the validity of these rumors as the tipster does not have a solid track record of prior leaks but it's still interesting to see what Sony could be up to with its next-generation Xperia.

Sony is reportedly looking to break up the vertical camera alignment seen on past Xperia 1 devices and separate the telephoto lens from the main and ultrawide cameras. This move is said to free up enough space inside the device for a 1/2.3-inch telephoto sensor compared to...
