Samsung, the South Korean tech maker, recently unveiled its latest Galaxy S25 series flagship devices with the Android 15 based One UI 7 custom skin onboard, however, as per recent updates, the official version for other previous Galaxy smartphone models are said to be delayed and will likely only be rolled out by the end of next month onwards. Amidst this, a new One UI 7 build has been uploaded on the brand’s official server for last year’s Galaxy S24 series models.

Here’s more about it.

New One UI 7 Build for Galaxy S24 Series Updated on Server – ‘BYA6’

As per what has been shared, from the ‘BYA4’ build, the brand’s official server has been updated with the ‘BYA6’ One UI 7 build for the Galaxy S24 series. Its build version is mentioned to be ‘S928NKSU4BYA6/ S928NOKR4BYA6/ S928NKSU4BYA6’.

Speaking more, it has already been revealed that there will be one more beta update (One UI 7 beta 4 update) for the Galaxy S24 series before the official version gets rolled out, and it will be announced or informed to users via the Samsung Members app.

Also, according to what was revealed officially in a press release, Samsung plans to polish its One UI 7 custom skin with the feedback received via the beta program, and the official version is thus expected to be only made available from the end of February 2025, or in March 2025, if everything turns out right. To add, it will be first rolled out to the Galaxy S series flagship models, and later to the other series devices.

Stay tuned for more tech updates.

The South Korean smartphone manufacturer, Samsung, very recently launched its Galaxy S25 series flagship smartphone models globally and three of the latest devices are currently available for pre-booking.

Now, the expected key specs of this smartphone have been tipped online.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Tipped Key Specs

As per this new update received via WHYLAB, the Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, the brand’s thin form factor device of the Galaxy S25 series (which was initially said to be called ‘Galaxy S25 Slim’), is tipped to have specs such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip (overclocked version with 4.47 GHz primary clock speed), 6.7″ straight display screen, 3900 mAh battery backup, 200MP (main) + 50MP (ultra-wide) dual camera unit, and 6.4 mm thickness.

Speaking more, based on the device that was showcased at the event, the Galaxy S25 Edge obviously has a very thin design and in one way or the other shares some similarities with the Galaxy S25+ model, but with quite evident differences. The main difference and what makes the device stand out from the other already-launched Galaxy S25 series models apart from the thin design is the camera module. The Galaxy S25 Edge has a slightly projected pill-shaped unit which houses two even more projected camera sensors and an LED flashlight. Also, as per rumors, Samsung could make this Galaxy S25 Edge model available to customers in the month of May 2025.

Just to add, the ‘Edge’ naming in the moniker is surely to portray the thin design of the smartphone, however, it also marks the brand’s return to using ‘Edge’ in its smartphone monikers and notably the 2016-released Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was the last to launch with it.

More updates concerning the latest Galaxy S25 Edge device are likely to be shared in the coming days, which will probably shed more light on its specs, features, and launch date. Stay tuned until then.

Tecno, a Chinese smartphone maker, is reportedly in the works with its next Camon 40 series devices and now, the Camon 40 Premier 5G has made its appearance on the FCC certification platform. Via the new certification listing, few of its key specs and design of the upcoming smartphone have been revealed.

Here’s more about it.

Tecno Camon 40 Premier 5G – FCC Certification  

The Camon 40 Premier 5G device of Tecno bears the model number of ‘CM8’ and has received the FCC certification with the FCC ID of ‘2ADYY-CM8’. This device is suggested to measure 164 x 74 x 8 mm in dimension, and will support 2G/3G/4G/5G network, Wi-Fi with dual band support, Bluetooth, and NFC connectivity. It is also pointed out to pack a battery with a battery range of DC 3.86V, with fast charging support of up to 70W (charging adapter model number – ‘U700TSA’). Also to note, the FCC listing also confirms that there is also a 12GB/256GB storage model for the device too.

Coming to its design, we get to see the schematic and internal design images of the smartphone via the FCC database. Based on these, this upcoming device is also expected to feature a dual tone rear panel just like its predecessor, sporting a centrally-placed circular camera module again with four circular interior units. From what it appears, the first two and last internal units are likely to occupy camera sensors, and there is a periscope telephoto lens inside the fourth circular interior unit. To add, the LED flashlight is placed outside the camera module at the top-left corner of the rear panel.

Notably, the right side panel has the volume rocker and power button, and at the left side panel, there seems to be an additional key, which could be an action button. Moreover, both the rear panel and side panels are flat, along with rounded corners.

Previously, this Tecno Camon 40 series smartphone with the model number – ‘CM8’ was also spotted on the EEC and IMEI databases, however, while the EEC listing mentioned the moniker as Camon 40 Premier 5G, the IMEI listing suggested the moniker to be Camon 40 Pro 5G. But based on the design and specs revealed, it is likely to be the next Camon 40 Premier 5G itself (due to certain similarities with the previous Camon 30 Premier 5G rather than the Camon 30 Pro 5G). Apart from the Camon 40 Premier 5G and Camon 40 Pro 5G, the Camon 40 and Camon 40 Pro 4G devices are also reportedly in work.

Stay tuned for more updates.

As per what previous updates have already revealed, Apple, the Cupertino-based tech maker, will be introducing a new iPhone 17 Air model in its flagship iPhone 17 series this year instead of the plus model, and while we recently came across the expected thickness and battery range of this upcoming device, via a new update, its possible rear panel design and other key specs have been revealed.

Here’s more about it.

Apple iPhone 17 Air – Possible Rear Panel Design and Expected Key Specs

This update has been shared via a tipster (Experience more) on the Weibo platform, and according to what have been revealed, the iPhone 17 Air could be arriving with a similar design when compared with (certain) iPhone 17 series models. Based on the possible rear panel design image, it is suggested to feature an integrated middle frame, which could be a metal body (or not), and a pill-shaped projected horizontally-placed camera module is pointed out to be present at the top of the rear panel.

Speaking more, the pill-shaped camera module is revealed to feature a single rear camera at the left side, and on the right, an LED flash and microphone hole can be spotted. However, even if certain similarities are there with respect to the other three iPhone 17 series models, unlike the iPhone 17 Air, the three other smartphones could be having an integrated aluminium frame and glass back panel. To add, the glass back panel is to ensure wireless charging, and unfortunately the iPhone 17 Air may not support wireless charging.

[A rear panel design image of the iPhone 17 Pro model has also been shared along to depict this difference, featuring three triangularly-placed camera sensors inside the rectangular-shaped camera module with rounded corners, as well as the glass back area for wireless charging.]

Other expected specs of the iPhone 17 Air include the A19 processor, 6.6″ display screen with the Dynamic Island, 8GB RAM, single speaker unit, 3K+ mAh battery, and likely no physical SIM card slot. Furthermore, the thickness at its thinnest point is reportedly 5.5 mm.

Apple’s biggest competitor, Samsung, also has a new ultra-thin model in this year’s Galaxy S25 series – Galaxy S25 Slim, and it is said to be unveiled today on the 22nd of January 2025 at the Galaxy Unpacked event. On the other hand, Apple is probably going to launch its iPhone 17 series in September (or October) 2025 as it always does.

Stay tuned for more updates.
