Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a major problem: it does not sell
Samsung is facing serious issues with the Galaxy S25 Edge, its latest and thinnest flagship to date. Despite hyping up the phone and defending it against criticism from media and fans alike, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't sell well at all.
In fact, Samsung has been forced to considerably lower the number of Galaxy S25 Edge units it produces each month, a new report claims. What's worse is that the Galaxy S25 Edge was released as a test to see if there's an audience for very slim flagships. The South Korean company plans to replace the Galaxy S26 Plus with an Edge model, but after the Galaxy S25 Edge 's fiasco, it's unclear what will happen with the last member of the Galaxy S26 series.Samsung has been trying for years to convince people to buy the Galaxy S Plus model, but this specific model performed poorly in comparison to the other versions of the Galaxy S flagship.
Typically, new phones sell well in the first three months, but Galaxy S25 Edge sales were even lower than Samsung's lowest expectations, which is the South Korean giant decided to cut its losses and stop producing so many units.

In related news, sources familiar with Samsung's plans claim the company is now looking to increase production of foldable phones specifically aimed at the US market. The main reason is the threat of US tariffs, which are expected to take effect around the time Samsung will launch its foldable flagships on the market.The report also mentions that Samsung plans to manufacture around 600,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 units in June alone, all aimed at the US market. This is a 200,000 increase from the initial plan.
If this proves to be accurate, it means the global production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be lower because Samsung has decided to focus on the US market. Stocks will continue to be increased throughout July when Samsung plans to ramp up production to meet expectations. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Weekly poll: which (if any) would you rather have, Pura 80 Ultra or one of the other three?
Huawei has not detailed plans for a global rollout of the new Pura 80 series, but given that the Pura 70 models are available in places like Europe, Indonesia and others, it's hard to imagine that the new generation will be available only in China. So, assuming the Pura 80 phones are available near you soon, would you buy one – and which one? Huawei Pura 80 • Huawei Pura 80 Pro • Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ • Huawei Pura 80 Ultra Starting with the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, that has a crazy complicated camera system that moves the same 50MP 1/1.28' sensor between two lenses – 3.7x/83mm and 9.4x/212mm. The phone also has a 1'-type 50MP main sensor and a 40MP ultra-wide camera. The 6.8' LTPO display is backed by a 5,700mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro+ mainly differ in areas like memory and satellite connectivity. Both keep the 1'-type main camera from the Ultra, but settle for a single telephoto camera – a 48MP 4x/93mm module. The ultra-wide is still 40MP. The display and battery are the same as the Ultra too. The vanilla Huawei Pura 80 has a smaller 6.6' display, still an LTPO OLED, and a 5,600mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. The camera system is more basic, but still quite capable with a 50MP 1/1.3' main, 12MP 5x/125mm tele and 13MP ultra-wide. Note that the Pura 80 launch is still pending. Huawei is keeping chipset details under wraps, but we think it's the same chipset as on the Mate X6, at least at the top of the Pura 80 range. And these phones don't run Android but HarmonyOS. The global variants should get EMUI instead, though. Here are pricing details for the Huawei Pura 80 family, but keep in mind that the USD amounts are simple conversion and the real global price will likely be different. Pura 80 Pro Pura 80 Pro+ Pura 80 Ultra 12GB/256GB CNY 6,500 USD 905 - - - - 12GB/512GB CNY 7,000 USD 975 CNY 8,000 USD 1,115 - - 16GB/1TB - - - - CNY 10,000 USD 1,390 12GB/1TB CNY 8,000 USD 1,115 CNY 9,000 USD 1,250 - - 16GB/1TB - - - - CNY 11,000 USD 1,530

Apple doesn't mind that its new processors won't be as powerful as Qualcomm's new AP
The A19 and A19 Pro application processors (APs) will be focusing on efficiency this year instead of performance. As a result, when compared to Apple's 2025 APs, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy will probably be able to outperform the chips earmarked for the iPhone 17 series. On China's Weibo social media platform, tipster Fixed Focus Digital says that Apple is focusing on making the iPhone 17 series the best when it comes to battery life and doesn't mind giving away the top of the performance leaderboard to the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy. Apple's goal for the A19 Pro AP, which will be produced using TSMC's third-generation 3nm process node (N3P), is to score single-core and multi-core scores on Geekbench of 4000+ and 10000+ respectively. As a measure of comparison, the A18 Pro, which powers the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, had Geekbench scores of 3539 (single-core) and 8772 (multi-core). While MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 (produced on TSMC's third-generation 3nm node) and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 both will be looking to blow away the A19 and A19 Pro with their performance numbers, Apple's application processors should deliver improved battery life for the iPhone 17 series. The A19 and A19 Pro APs will focus on efficiency instead of performance. | Image credit-Wccftech Where the focus on efficiency over power for the A19 and A19 Pro APs will come in handy will be with the iPhone 17 Air. Thanks to its thin build, the device is expected to come to market with a puny battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh. The A19 and A19 Pro can handle more work than the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 over the same time period. That's because the new Apple APs have higher Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) scores than the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. This means that Apple's chipset will have more efficient CPU cores. A higher IPC means that the CPU can do more work per clock tick. Even if the A19 has a lower clock speed than the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, if it handles more instructions per cycle, it can do more work in a shorter period of time. Here's a shocker. Should Samsung Foundry get its yield on 2nm production up to 60% or higher, the 2nm Exynos 2600 AP could end up powering the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 + in most markets. That could make those two models the first smartphones to be powered by a 2nm chipset. Recently, the iPhone has been the first to the marketplace with a 7nm AP (iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, A12 Bionic, September 2018), a 5nm AP (iPhone 12 series, A14 Bionic, October and November 2020), and a 3nm AP (iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, A17 Pro, September 2024). Unless Samsung is unable to obtain enough 2nm chips for the Galaxy A26 and Galaxy A26+, the iPhone will not be the first smartphone to feature a cutting-edge 2nm chip. That honor appears to be heading to the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 +. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Apple starts displaying energy efficiency labels on iPhone and iPad's pages in EU
Starting June 20, manufacturers are required to sell their smartphones and tablets in the European Union (EU) with an energy efficiency label in the box. We don't know about the boxes, but with the regulation in effect, Apple has started displaying this label on iPhone and iPad's pages on its website in EU countries. If you visit an iPhone or iPad's main product page or purchase page, you'll see a colorful little icon, and upon clicking it, you'll see the energy label of that product. iPhone 16 Pro's product page on Apple Ireland's website • iPhone 16 Pro's purchase page on Apple Ireland's website This label is accompanied by a product information sheet that provides the device's repairability information and general parameters, including rated battery capacity, screen scratch resistance on the Mohs hardness scale, minimum guaranteed availability of security updates, and IP rating. iPhone 16 Pro's product information sheet shared by Apple The energy label, on the other hand, displays seven pieces of information about the product, including an overall energy efficiency class rating on a scale of A to G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least. Here's a sample energy efficiency label You can check the energy labels for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and iPad Pro 11" (M4) below. iPhone 16 Pro's energy efficiency label • iPad Pro 11" (M4)'s energy efficiency label Apple found certain aspects of the EU's regulation and testing procedure to be "ambiguous" and, therefore, voluntarily downgraded the ratings of its products. Here's what Apple said: "As an additional cautionary measure, Apple went one step further and downgraded some of its scores to factor in test method ambiguities and variance. For example, Energy Efficiency Index scores for iPhone models on the EU market in June 2025 all qualified for the highest 'A' grade, but Apple chose to voluntarily derate scores to a 'B' grade to minimize the probability that a third-party tester interpreting the regulation differently would achieve a lower grade. We also downgraded scores for the Repeated Free Fall Reliability Class for the same reason." You can read the 44-page document shared by Apple here regarding this matter for more details, and head this way to learn more about the new EU energy efficiency labels.
