The front design shows that the display has changed to Infinity-U instead of Infinity-V which Galaxy A13 has. It looks like the Korean company saved the punch hole design for the next generation of this series which could be known as Galaxy A15.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 smartphone reportedly features a larger 6.8-inches FHD+ LCD screen compared to the 6.6-inch panel of the A13 and has dimensions of 167.7 x 78.7 x 9.3mm.
Moving on, the flat frame and circular camera designs are also similar to the previous model. It’s worth mentioning the new devices feature a triple camera setup rather than the predecessor’s quad camera.
Other than these, the back panel seems to have a plain gradient design, currently, it’s only showcased in black color but the company will surely introduce more colors. Lastly, the renders also suggets a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for privacy.
Besides, the remaining design aspects including the positioning of the power key-integrated fingerprint scanner and the volume rockers on the right spine are identical. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and the speaker grille at the bottom of the phone.
Other than these, Samsung is suggested to launch the new Galaxy A-series smartphones in early 2023. Meanwhile, if the company goes with this year’s Galaxy A-series launch schedule, the Galaxy A14 might launch at the end of this year.

Will Galaxy S25 Ultra support Bluetooth S Pen in future?

Samsung removed the Bluetooth support from the S Pen of Galaxy S25 Ultra, disappointing many users. Popular features like Air Actions and remote camera controls, which were powered by Bluetooth, were no longer available with the new S Pen. However, a recent teardown of the Galaxy S25 Ultra hints that Samsung may have left the possibility open for a Bluetooth S Pen.
In the teardown video, a tech YouTuber recently discovered a charging coil inside the S25 Ultra. This coil is the same one used in older models to charge Bluetooth-enabled S Pens.
This coil similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra seems to be odd as the S Pen that comes with the Galaxy S25 Ultra doesn’t need charging or Bluetooth features. So, why would Samsung leave a charging coil in the phone if it’s not being used?
There are two possible reasons for this. First, Samsung might have simply overlooked removing the charging coil, even if it’s no longer needed.

The second reason could be that Samsung left the charging coil as a backup. If enough people complained about the lack of Bluetooth S Pen features, Samsung could have used the coil to release a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen later on.
Samsung has already confirmed that the S Pen of Galaxy S25 Ultra won’t support Bluetooth. But this hidden charging coil raises questions. Could Samsung change its mind and add Bluetooth features back in the future?
Maybe the company is planning to remove the S Pen slowly or could surprise users with an upgrade later. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung Galaxy S25+ teardown highlights simplified repair process

Samsung Galaxy S25+ (Plus) has started reaching customers who pre-order and with it comes the first teardown video. This video reveals some interesting details about the repairability of this new phone.
According to PBKReviews, Samsung has made minor improvements to the Galaxy S25+ design to make it slightly easier to repair compared to the Galaxy S24+. It is one of the most repair-friendly Galaxy smartphones.
Galaxy S25 Plus Teardown Details
The teardown video of the Samsung Galaxy S25+ shows a redesigned battery pull pouch, which makes it easier to remove the battery during repairs. To access the internals, the back glass that is made from Gorilla Glass Victus 2 needs to be heated up to soften the glue.
Once that’s done, a pry tool and suction cup are used to remove the panel. Inside the phone, the battery is covered by a Qi wireless charging coil.

After disassembling 21 screws, other parts of the phone are revealed, including three rear cameras, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and the phone’s memory and storage. The phone also has a larger copper vapor chamber to help with heat management.
The Galaxy S25+ has an IP68 rating, which means it is dustproof and water-resistant. The SIM card tray and speakers are sealed with rubber gaskets to keep the phone protected.
Moreover, the sub-board that includes the USB Type-C port, SIM card slot, and primary microphone is also part of the internal setup. Some versions of the phone may include an mmWave antenna for faster 5G speeds.
The Galaxy S25+ has a higher repairability score (9/10) than its predecessor. The battery is now a little easier to replace, but the repair process is still much similar to last year’s Galaxy S24+ phone.

Samsung G Fold leak reveals launch timeline, unique design

At the Galaxy S25’s Unpacked event, Samsung teased a potential G Fold smartphone. Reports suggest that the company is swiftly working on a tri-fold phone. Meanwhile, a new leak reveals details about its launch timeline, design, and new display technology.
According to the information, Samsung might not launch the Galaxy G Fold in 2025. Instead, the device is expected to be introduced early next year, likely in January. The company isn’t rushing commercialization despite pressure following Huawei’s entry into the tri-fold market.
The latest leak aligns with recent rumors indicating a different design from the Mate XT or Flex S prototypes. The G Fold may join the Galaxy device lineup, with production nearly finalized for the design based on previously showcased Flex G prototypes.
The Galaxy G Fold is said to feature a 9.96-inch main AMOLED screen. The cover (folded) display may measure 6.54 inches, which is smaller than the S25 Ultra’s screen but taller due to the device’s different form factor.
Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, Samsung’s tri-fold is expected to feature a folding mechanism where both sides fold inward. This approach aims to address durability concerns, as Huawei’s tri-fold reportedly suffered damage early on.
The Huawei Mate XT weighs 298 grams, and Samsung’s model is expected to have a similar weight. However, its different design approach may result in the Galaxy G Fold being slightly thicker than Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone.
Samsung is also developing new display and protective technologies for its tri-fold. The device will be equipped with a newly developed screen and protective film, which have not been used in Samsung’s existing foldable smartphones.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Teardown: What Samsung didn’t tell you

Galaxy S25 Ultra 5G’s teardown video shows what’s inside Samsung’s new flagship. The smartphone’s design has been tweaked while retaining its signature appearance, offering an appealing look while maintaining aesthetics.
A video posted on the YouTube channel PhoneRepairGuru shows the teardown of Samsung’s latest flagship. The device is easier to repair than the previous models, reiterating the company’s commitment to offering effortless repairability.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Teardown Insights
The teardown started with the use of a massive suction cup to lift the back glass, which came off effortlessly, proving the S25 Ultra is repair-friendly.
The internal layout is familiar yet subtly modified. The wireless charging coil, which now features Qi 2 tech, was positioned differently, suggesting an optimization for the new charging standard.
The YouTuber highlighted redesigned battery pull tabs. The adhesive for the battery now wraps around it, making removal straightforward, which is also reusable.
Another internal tweak is the integration of an NFC coil that detects the presence of the S Pen, indicating a shift in how the accessory interacts with the smartphone.

It has been noted that the S25 Ultra’s motherboard is slightly smaller. It would have helped Samsung reduce weight by better-integrating components to free up space.
The teardown also showed that the camera module’s integration into the phone’s structure is unchanged, with the same physical layout for the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto sensors.
The SIM card tray and USB-C port were easily accessible, with a rubber gasket around the port for water resistance. A green spacer was noted to ensure the port sits flush against the screen.
Repairability
The S25 Ultra’s internals are fitted in a way, which continues to support DIY repairs, with components like the battery, display, and camera setup being easy to access and replace.
The teardown reveals Samsung’s commitment to a design that’s easy to repair. These changes show Samsung’s incremental approach to improving user experience in maintenance and modification.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Charging Test: Speed and heat results are surprising!

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra replicates S24 Ultra battery and charging specs on paper. However, the new flagship offers decent upgrades over its predecessor in real-life usage. TechDroider put the S25 Ultra to a charging test to evaluate speed and heat.
OnePlus charger and cable are unsupported
Before the test, the YouTuber tried the OnePlus charger and cable, which didn’t trigger fast charging on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Meanwhile, Nothing’s PD charger and cable are supporting Samsung’s fast charging mechanism.
Speed and heat results
Galaxy S25 Ultra took 57 minutes to fully charge the battery (from 0% to 100%). It’s a notable difference as compared to the S24 Ultra which usually takes 1 hour and 11 minutes. Here’s a breakdown of events from the video:
- 17% – 10 minutes
- 40% – 20 minutes
- 60% – 30 minutes
- 80% – 40 minutes
- 96% – 50 minutes
- 100% – 57 minutes
Using the genuine 45W charger and cable, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 5000mAh battery took 10 minutes to reach 17%, 20 minutes to 40%, 30 minutes to 60%, and 40 minutes to 80%. Here, the charging speed momentum fluctuated slightly.
The phone charged 16% in 10 minutes after the 40 minutes of charging, reaching 96% mark in 50 minutes. The remaining 4% of charging took 7 minutes, filling up the battery cell to 100% within an hour (57 minutes as tested by TechDroider).

Temperature
Following the conclusion of the battery charge, the S25 Ultra was at 25.7-degree. It was slightly higher than the room temperature of 21.3-degree, which makes sense as the device was on a charge using a 45W adapter for 57 minutes.
