Of course, if you care more about things like battery life, camera versatility, and S Pen convenience than a super-slim profile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is clearly a smarter choice at a pretty hard-to-beat discount of its own in an identical storage variant. Incredibly enough, the Motorola Razr Plus (2025) foldable is currently more affordable than both the S25 Ultra and S25 Edge (and even the S25 Plus and "vanilla" Galaxy S25), at least in a love-it-or-hate-it "Hot Pink" colorway that's somehow marked down by a whopping $300 from a $999.99 list price with no special requirements. $250 off (45%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 6.6-Inch P-OLED Display with 2400 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Processor, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 68W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, Vegan Leather Finish, Midnight Blue Color Buy at BestBuy $200 off (29%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X Processor, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch AMOLED External Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Single Selfie Snapper, 4,200mAh Battery with 30W Charging Capabilities, Two Color Options Buy at BestBuy 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6.78-Inch AMOLED Display with 2780 x 1264 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and Up to 4500 Nits of Peak Brightness, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 50 + 50 + 8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Front-Facing Camera, 6,000mAh Battery, 80W Charging Support, Nebula Noir and Astral Trail Color Options, Free $100 Gift Card Included Buy at BestBuy $250 off (28%) 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.82-Inch LTPO AMOLED Display with 3168 x 1440 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and 4500 Nits Peak Brightness, 50 + 64 + 48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Selfie Shooter, 5,400mAh Battery with 80W Wired and 50W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Flowy Emerald Color Buy at BestBuy $300 off (30%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Processor, 6.9-Inch Main Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch Secondary LTPO AMOLED Screen with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Support, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 4,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Vegan Leather Finish, Spring Green and Midnight Blue Color Options Buy at BestBuy 5G, Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Android 14, Google Tensor G4 Processor, 6.8-Inch LTPO OLED Display with 2992 x 1344 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 48 +48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 42MP Front-Facing Camera, Gemini Integration, 5,060mAh Battery, Obsidian Color Buy at Amazon 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 7-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2912 x 1224 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch Secondary LTPO AMOLED Panel with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Capabilities, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 16GB RAM, Android 15, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 50MP Single Front-Facing Camera, Dual Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos Technology, 4,700mAh Battery, 68W Wired Charging, 30W Wireless Charging, Four Color Options Buy at Amazon Obviously, the aforementioned Razr Plus (2025) is not the best foldable money can buy in 2025, but the Razr Ultra (2025) might be just that, both before and after Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 come out in a few weeks. Motorola's ultra-high-end flip phone is sold by Amazon at an unrivaled discount in a 512GB storage configuration, but naturally, that's not enough to make the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse truly affordable. And that's where the Motorola Razr (2024) and Razr Plus (2024) come in at $200 and $300 off their regular prices respectively, while the non-foldable mid-range Motorola Edge (2024) is ideal for the most cash-strapped Android users around at only $299.99 at Best Buy with no strings attached. Not a fan of Motorola devices... or Samsung Galaxy handsets? Then you might want to consider last year's OnePlus 12 super-flagship, this year's budget-friendly OnePlus 13R powerhouse, and Google's jumbo-sized Pixel 9 Pro XL at their latest discounts. I'm not going to lie, the latter phone has been available at even lower prices a few times before. But the OnePlus 13R is pretty difficult to turn down with a $100 Best Buy gift card bundled in, and the OnePlus 12 could be discontinued in the near future, warranting a little attention today at $650 instead of $900 with a generous 16GB RAM count and 512 gigs of internal storage space. $40 off (20%) Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 4GB RAM, 10.1-Inch IPS Screen with 1920 x 1200 Pixel Resolution, Android 14, Two Guaranteed OS Updates, MediaTek Helio G85 Processor, 5,100mAh Battery, 15W Charging Support, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, All-Metal Design, Polar Blue Color Buy at Lenovo $93 off (24%) Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 12.7-Inch LCD Screen with 2944 x 1840 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Android 14, MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Processor, 10,200mAh Battery, 45W Charging Support, Quad JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, Luna Grey Color, Lenovo Tab Pen Plus Included, TABLETSAVE E-Coupon Required Buy at Lenovo Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 10.9-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2304 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Samsung Exynos 1580 Processor, Android 15 with One UI 7, Galaxy AI, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, 8,000mAh Battery, 45W Charging, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, microSD Card Slot, Dual Speakers with AKG Technology, Three Color Options, S Pen Included, US Version, Two-Year Manufacturer Warranty Buy at Amazon $100 off (18%) 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 8.8-Inch LTPS Display with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Android 14, 6,550mAh Battery, 65W Charging, Two Superlinear Speakers with Stereo Audio and Dual X-Axis Haptics, 13 + 2MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, ColdFront Vapor Chamber Tech, Eclipse Black Color, Folio Case and Rapid Charge Adapter Included Buy at Lenovo 128GB Storage, Wi-Fi Only, Apple M3 Processor, Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2732 x 2048 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, All-Day Battery Life, Landscape Stereo Speakers, Two Microphones, USB Type-C Port, Space Gray Color Buy at Amazon Depending on your budget, it shouldn't be too hard to choose between the dirt-cheap Lenovo Tab (now cheaper than ever), the slightly costlier and significantly higher-end Lenovo Idea Tab Pro with a massive 12.7-inch screen in tow and a bundled stylus, and the even pricier but still far from prohibitive hardcore gamer-friendly Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 with a compact 8.8-inch display and ultra-advanced cooling technology. But what if you don't like Lenovo gear... for whatever reason (like sub-par long-term software support)? Well, that's what Samsung's brand-new Galaxy Tab S10 FE mid-ranger is for (with a built-in pen of its own), not to mention the super-powerful and almost shockingly affordable 13-inch iPad Air (2025) with an Apple M3 processor under its hood. Now that makes your choice a lot tougher, although at the end of the day, it still all comes down to how much you're willing to pay for your next tablet. 40mm, GPS, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wear OS, 1.2-Inch Super AMOLED Display with 396 x 396 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal Glass, 5 ATM Water Resistance, ECG, Heart Rate Monitor, Fall Detection, Sleep Coaching, Body Composition, Three Color Options, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Amazon GPS, Bluetooth, Aluminum Case, 1.3-Inch AMOLED Display with 432 x 432 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 300mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Cream Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Amazon I'm sorry, iPhone users, I simply haven't been able to find any decent Apple Watch offers to recommend this week. Not with the Android-exclusive 4G LTE-enabled Galaxy Watch FE and GPS-only Galaxy Watch 7 available at the same phenomenal price after hefty new discounts of $50 and $100 respectively. So which of the two impressively affordable Samsung smartwatches on sale at special prices right now should Android smartphone owners choose? Frankly, I'd get both of them, keep one for myself, and gift the other to my better half next Christmas. I know it's only summer, but you can never be too prepared, right?

Analysts reset Qualcomm stock price target, send warning
Analysts reset Qualcomm stock price target, send warning originally appeared on TheStreet. Keeping a business afloat is hard. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 50% of small private businesses typically fail within five years. This five-year span seems like the breaking point. If your company is still in business after five years, it means you've likely overcome many setbacks and made many tough decisions. There's plenty that can derail even the best businesses. Suppliers may go bankrupt, fail to meet deadlines, or produce shoddy items. Marketing plans may go awry. Workers may defect to rivals. Even your best customers may eventually sour on your solutions, forcing you to pivot your business company that seems to have been quite unlucky in choosing its business partners is Qualcomm. Apple is one of its biggest customers, and it is slowly but steadily ditching Qualcomm's modems in favor of its own, creating a crisis for the technology company and forcing it to rethink its business. Qualcomm was founded in 1985, and for a business to be turning 40 is an incredible achievement. The company has two different branches of business. One is Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) and the other is Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL). QCT revenue streams are handsets, automotive, and Internet of Things, while QTL controls the patent licensing business. According to Bloomberg and the Bank of America Global Research estimates, Apple's contribution to QCT's handset division was 15% in 2024. On June 9th, Qualcomm () announced that it plans to acquire Alphawave Semi, a producer of high-speed wired connectivity, chiplets, and custom silicon. Artificial intelligence training and inference require highly parallel, memory and bandwidth-intensive computations. Accelerators are built on GPUs or custom chiplets, and need better, more efficient interconnections and AlphaWave's technology enables that. 'Alphawave Semi has developed leading high-speed wired connectivity and compute technologies that are complementary to our power-efficient CPU and NPU cores,' said Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm pivot to the data center markets may prove a good plan to recoup the lost revenue due to Apple's increasing reliance on its own modems. This acquisition of Alphawave Semi is expected to be completed during the first calendar quarter of 2026 and isn't final. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time) Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms move Google plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move According to Gartner, semiconductor revenue in data centers almost doubled in 2024 to reach $112 billion, and the firm expects global semiconductor revenue to total $705 billion in 2025. Qualcomm revenue in Q2 of fiscal year 2025 reached $10.9 billion, a 17% increase year-over-year. Majority of the revenue came from QCT part of the company, which had revenue of $9.5 billion. Handset division revenue was $6.9 billion, automotive revenue $959 million and $1.6 billion came from IoT. Bank of America analyst Tal Liani and his team recently updated their opinion on Qualcomm shares. Analysts noted that the Internet of Things and automotive have significant growth potential and were up 27% and 59% year over year in the most recent quarter. However, they warned that smartphones, representing 73% of Qualcomm CDMA revenues, have peaked. They forecast that Apple's contribution will drop from 15% in 2024 to 6% of total handset revenues by fiscal year 2027 and drop to zero beyond 2027. The analysts believe there are only limited near-term catalysts for the stock and lowered their estimates and price objectives to reflect their updated growth outlook. They set a Qualcomm stock price target of $200, down from $245, equal to 15 times their calendar 2026 earnings estimates. Previously, their target price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 17. Qualcomm's forward P/E ratio is currently they reduced their target, they still think the upside is enough to justify maintaining their buy rating on the stock. However, they did highlight three risks that could limit Qualcomm's stock in the near term: The handset market is mature and without any visible growth catalyst. They expect recent smartphone growth to reverse, as the impact of product launches and channel fill in China erodes, and share gains at Samsung will subside. Apple will start using its own modem for non-Pro phones. Analysts concluded that "AI PC and data center connectivity could contribute to growth but may take time [to] carry enough weight to offset the smartphone trends."Analysts reset Qualcomm stock price target, send warning first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

The best Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge deal (sans trade-in) just got better with an enhanced $250 discount
Released just last month at a starting US price of $1,099.99, the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge scored a $220 discount with 512GB internal storage space earlier this week that looked pretty much unbeatable. But believe it or not, Amazon's killer deal on Samsung's latest ultra-high-end handset has already been eclipsed by... Amazon. Yes, the e-commerce giant has somehow managed to outdo itself today, charging a whopping 250 bucks under the S25 Edge 's $1,219.99 list price in the same top-of-the-line 512 gig storage configuration and two color options. We're talking Titanium Icyblue and Titanium Silver hues, the official names of which instantly reveal one of this bad boy's key selling points and major strengths over many of the best Android phones out there right now (minus the Galaxy S25 Ultra). 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 6.7-Inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 Protection, Android 15, 200 + 12MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 3,900mAh Battery with 25W Charging Support, Galaxy AI, Titanium Construction, Two Color Options Buy at Amazon In addition to rocking a wasp 5.8mm waist and a fittingly low 163 grams weight number, the Galaxy S25 Edge also offers a super-robust titanium frame, thus matching (at least in theory) the long-term durability of Samsung's aforementioned S Pen-wielding flagship. Of course, this 6.7-incher is a flagship in its own right too, packing a cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a generous 12GB RAM count in combination with both 256 and 512 gigs of local digital hoarding room. Unfortunately, our recent in-depth Galaxy S25 Edge review more or less confirmed my biggest battery life fears, which obviously came as no surprise given the phone's teeny-tiny 3,900mAh cell capacity. Said battery's outdated 25W charging support is perhaps even more disappointing, although the super-high-quality LTPO AMOLED 2X screen and 200MP primary rear-facing camera undeniably make up for the premium smartphone's glaring flaws, consolidating its astounding value proposition, especially at this new record high discount. Naturally, Amazon's newly improved deal comes with no obligatory device trade-in or any other special requirements, making the 256GB Galaxy S25 Edge variant irrelevant and Samsung's official e-store offers (both past and present) pale in comparison. You are strongly advised to hurry, though, as either the $250 price cut or the S25 Edge inventory on the whole is likely to go away before long. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
