A new Samsung Galaxy event has been set for September 4 (a few days ahead of Apple’s event) where the company is going to debut its new FE smartphone from the S25 family along with the new Galaxy Tab S11 series tablets. Ahead of the launch, the Galaxy Tab S11 has also been leaked in detail.
Samsung Galaxy Event: What to Expect?
”Join us on September 4 to discover a more seamless mobile experience across a wider range of devices — from premium AI tablets to the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family,” said Samsung in a newsroom post. The event will be streamed live on Samsung’s website and its YouTube channel at 11:30 a.m. CEST (3:00 p.m. IST), September 4.
Galaxy S25 FE
As for what to expect, you will be seeing the Galaxy S25 FE at the event which has been leaked multiple times in the past. It will sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED Display running at 120Hz refresh rate. It will feature a 50MP rear camera joined by 12MP and 8MP sensors. These specs look similar to the S24 FE, which means these should be ultra-wide angle and telephoto sensors.
As for upgrades, the front-facing camera will be a 12MP sensor, replacing the 10MP sensor on the S24 FE. The Chipset in use will be the Exynos 2400, replacing Exynos 2400e found in the S24 FE. RAM and storage variants will include 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB. The battery, however, seems to have been downgraded from 4700mAh in the S24 FE to 4500mAh in the S25 FE which is likely due to the reduced thickness of the handset. There will still be support for 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging.
Galaxy Tab S11 Series
The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra render has been leaked before but this time, the new leak from @MysteryLupin on X sheds light on the design of the Tab S11 as well as the specifications of both the tablets. The two tablets seem to have retained the same design as last year’s models but with the Ultra having a smaller water-drop notch on the front with an single camera instead of the bigger one on previous models with two cameras. However, this year, there’s no leak for a Plus model so far. The Tab S10 series didn’t have a base model and the Tab S11 series could bring that back but at the cost of the Plus model.
Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, as per the leak, sports a 14.6-inch WQXGA+ (2960 x 1848 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. Further, the Tab S11 has a smaller 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a Resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. Both the models also have dynamic Refresh Rate support up to 120Hz, and also have an anti-reflective coating.
The Galaxy Tab S11 series will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ SoC. As for RAM and Storage, they get 12GB/16GB RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB storage options. Both of them also have support microSD card storage expansion up to 1TB. An 11,600mAh battery backs Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra while the S10 has a 8400mAh battery, and both of them charge at 45W speeds.
The tablets run on One UI 8.0 based on Android 16 and pack support for the full suite of Galaxy AI features. At the back, the S11 Ultra has a 13MP primary camera sensor, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor. The front of the Tab S11 Ultra has a single sensor now, which is a 12MP camera. The Tab S11 has a single 12MP ultra-wide angle sensor for video calls on the front and a single 13MP sensor on the back.
Connectivity options on the two include optional 5G (Sub-6), Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth v5.3. Additional features on the tablets include quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, S-Pen included in the box, IP68 rated tablet body and S-Pen, and an in-display optical fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
Oppo’s much acclaimed Reno series saw new additions in India recently, and out of the two, we’ll be checking out the Oppo Reno 14 5G in detail. Here’s everything you’d want to know about the device, from how it feels in hand to how its optics perform. Is it worth considering for Rs 37,999? Let’s find out.
Design & Display
The Reno series has always been built well according to our previous experiences with these devices and this time it’s no different. The Oppo Reno 14 5G is built impressively in every way. The shape, size, and the in-hand feel are perfect. It’s rounded off enough at the corners for good appeal and in-hand grip.
The flat aluminium frame makes it feel like a flagship in hand while the weight distribution is great, too. The buttons are tactile when clicked while the rear panel’s matte finish of the newly announced Mint Green version further adds to the premiumness. While I personally prefer the Forest Green shade, Mint Green also looks clean and minimal.
The camera module is similar to what we have seen on the OnePlus 13s in terms of looks, but again, the device looks as good as it feels in the hand. While it can feel a little slippery in the hand, the grip is still decent for one-handed uses. Overall, we have no complaints with regards to design. To top it off, it is also IP68/69 rated so water and dust aren’t an issue for it to handle.
The Haptics are tight and strong enough to give it a premium feel. The stereo speakers offer balanced audio with ample loudness. However, don’t expect a lot of bass in the sound. Despite that, the experience of listening to music through these speakers was great.
Coming to the display, the Oppo Reno 14 5G features a 6.59-inch AMOLED flat screen with a 1.5K Resolution of 2760 x 1256 pixels, 1200 nits of peak brightness, HDR10+ support, 460 ppi, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, 3840Hz PWM dimming, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
As much as it looks like a great panel on paper, it is so in real life, too. The content being shown is sharp with vivid colours and excellent viewing angles. While outdoor brightness can leave you desiring for more in some scenarios, it is still decent for the price.
The slim and even bezels around the panel are a cherry on top. The touch sampling rate is high enough for quick actions in games, while a 120Hz Refresh Rate provides a fluid experience for daily use. Even the Netflix App shows that it supports HDR 10, which resulted in an excellent viewing experience on the device. Again, there’s nothing to complain about with this panel.
The in-display optical fingerprint sensor works nicely. It’s fast and accurate to recognise the fingerprint without any issues as such.
Software & Performance
The Oppo Reno 14 5G is powered by the Dimensity 8350 chipset, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. While these may not be the highest-end specs out there, they are quite decent for the price. While my experience with the device in terms of performance was largely positive, there were some downsides involved as well.
Upsides first, the animations and the overall fluidity are top-notch, as has been the case with ColorOS for the past couple of years. Paired with a decent chip, ColorOS can handle anything you throw at it and in the Reno 14 5G, it did that, at least for the most part.
RAM management is impressive, even on our 8GB model. Switching through apps was a breeze and multitasking wasn’t an issue either.
However, my main issue with the device was heating, where it could heat up unusually without any demanding tasks running in the background. Like when on 5G, I could feel it getting a little hot and even while gaming, at times, it could get hot to the touch, but most of the time, it remained cool.
It handles gaming well and can run titles like Call of Duty and BGMI at impressive graphics and frame rate, but again, the heating, at times, causes the frame rates to drop and cause lag.
The inconsistency across the UI was another issue, as I occasionally encountered minor stutters while quitting some apps, such as the Camera app, or when opening an image from the camera app, or when quitting an app while YouTube was in PiP. There was another major issue with the camera about which I’ll talk in the camera segment.
There was a considerable amount of bloatware present; however, all of it was removable, so that wasn’t an issue.
Aside from that, you get a plethora of features, both in terms of customisation and convenience. Customisation includes fully implemented AOD with flux themes, fingerprint animations, the ability to change colours, and more.
You can change the speed of the app closing and opening animations. Aside from that, there are AI features too, such as the AI studio, AI features in the gallery to increase resolution, remove objects, etc., AI VoiceScribe, AI search, and Mind Space as well. AI VoiceScribe wasn’t of much use for me, but AI search works well for searching for stuff across Oppo’s own apps, including File Manager, Settings, Notes, Calendar, and Mind Space.
Mind Space is similar to Nothing’s Essential Space and can store memories (screenshots) you save in it, as they are automatically tagged and summarised. Again, I hardly used the feature as it didn’t have enough utility factor for my usage.
Features like Live Alerts, which work similarly to the Dynamic Island, various gestures and motions, icon customisation, App lock, hide apps, Private Safe, System Cloner, etc., are all here that further add value to the operating system.
The device received the July patch on time, but we haven’t received the August 2025 security patch so far. The device is set to receive five major Android OS updates and six years of security patches so that’s an advantage for those who plan to keep it for long.
The device’s connectivity performance, including that of the IR blaster, Wi-Fi, 5G, and Bluetooth, remained optimal. Surprisingly, the device lacks NFC support at this price point and that is a major disappointment.
Battery Life
The Oppo Reno 14 5G features a 6000mAh battery and supports 80W fast wired charging. The battery backup I was getting with the device was exceptional. It could get me through 2 days of normal use without breaking a sweat.
I was getting close to 7 hours of screen-on time with more than 3 hours of gaming and without gaming, I have also touched the 9-hour mark with my day-to-day usage with about 1.5 days of total use.
My regular usage patterns include chatting on social media apps, taking a few calls, listening to music through the speakers, scrolling through Instagram, and watching videos on YouTube.
On days when I pushed it to its limits, such as gaming, shooting outdoors, or using Google Maps with wireless Android Auto, I still wasn’t able to kill it in a day. By the end of such days, I still had about 10 to 20% left.
As for charging times, the device took about 52 minutes to charge from 5% to 100% with the included 80W charger which isn’t bad by any means.
Cameras
The rear-facing triple camera system of the Oppo Reno 14 5G features an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 f/1.8 primary camera, an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 50MP f/2.8 telephoto sensor with OIS, 3.5x optical zoom, and up to 120x digital zoom.
The Reno 14 5G’s cameras perform impeccably outdoors under bright sunlight. The shots are well-detailed with vivid colours and a highly impressive dynamic range. The photos appear sharp and are well-suited for use on social media.
The only complaint I have regarding the camera is that it fails to capture shots at times. You’ll press the shutter button once or even twice at times, and the device won’t shoot anything, which is a major flaw. It can result in poor timing for certain types of shots and also raises questions about the camera’s reliability. Again, this can be fixed with a software update, but one wouldn’t expect such an issue to exist in the first place, especially in a camera-centric device.
Coming to ultra-wide-angle shots, again, these are nothing short of impressive. Most sensors I have tested always show poor detailing, and while the detailing of such shots in Reno 14 5G also need a little improvement, they’re still far better than some of its competitors. The dynamic range stays on point and so do the colours. The photos appear sharp even when zoomed in.
Speaking of the telephoto sensor, it does help in zoomed photos and portraits. Shots at 2x zoom appear decent enough but are using a crop from the main sensor so the details take a slight hit. At 3.5x, these details come back into the shot and the photos begin to appear sharp. At 7x, the shots start looking a little soft again, followed by 30x and 120x zoomed shots which are barely usable as they look like an oil painting.
2x3.5x7x30x120x
Portrait shots are a hit or miss with these cameras, as the device keeps telling you to move away from the subject for an ideal bokeh effect. However, it then captures a wide scene where the subject is not clearly identified sometimes, and EDGE detection goes for a toss, as you can see in the image above. If you like to shoot portraits of close-up subjects, it’s better to use the regular and telephoto sensors and shoot a normal photo than switching to the Portrait mode which was essentially useless to me.
Shots under artificial lighting are, once again, not disappointing at all. The colours remain natural and there’s a good amount of sharpness and detail in the photo. Under low lighting, while the photos look slightly soft, they don’t have any amount of noise, which is good. Turning on Night mode doesn’t help much with image sharpening either.
When it comes to selfies, the Reno 14 5G performs reliably well. Skin tones look true to life, colours stay natural, and the dynamic range is handled impressively. While a touch more sharpness would have been welcome, the overall results are pleasing, making it a dependable option for selfie lovers.
September 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting months of the year for smartphone enthusiasts. Apple is all set to unveil its next-generation iPhones, while Samsung, Oppo, and others are also lining up new launches. Here’s a roundup of both confirmed and expected smartphones launching in September 2025.
iPhone 17 Series (Global & India Launch)

Apple’s annual iPhone refresh is easily the biggest highlight of September, and 2025 will be no different. The iPhone 17 series smartphones launching in September 2025 are set to debut with several improvements in design, performance, and cameras. The lineup is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Leaks suggest the Air could measure just 5.5–5.6 mm thin, making it the slimmest iPhone ever—designed to replace the long-standing “Plus” variant. However, it is also expected to sport a 2900mAh battery which could be a potential issue but we can’t say for sure as Apple may have pulled some serious software and chip optimisation to make it last long.
As expected, Apple will limit the feature to the Pro models while the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will miss out on it. However, the 17 and 17 Air are set to get their own display upgrades, especially support for 120Hz refresh rate. Previous leaks suggest that it won’t support the ProMotion technology, though, which means these won’t be LTPO panels so the Refresh Rate won’t go down till 1Hz like in the Pro models.
Design-wise, the Pro models may ditch titanium for sleek aluminum frames and incorporate a new rectangular rear camera bar. The iPhone 17 design is expected to be the same as the iPhone 16, while the 17 Air will have a pill-shaped module with a single camera sensor. Camera upgrades include 48 MP telephoto capabilities (especially in the Pro Max) and enhanced AI camera processing.
iPhone 17 Series: Launch Date (Confirmed)
Apple has confirmed its Awe Dropping event for September 10, 2025. The iPhone 17 series should likely on pre-orders in select countries within days, with India sales beginning later in September.
iPhone 17 Series: Expected Price
Pricing is likely to remain similar to last year’s iPhone 16 lineup. The base iPhone 17 could start at around Rs 80,000 in India, while the Pro Max might cross Rs 1,50,000.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (Global & India Launch)
Samsung is preparing to bring back its “Fan Edition” series in September 2025 with the Galaxy S25 FE. Positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S25, the FE model will retain many premium features while cutting down costs.
The device is rumoured to feature a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 2000 nits brightness. Under the hood, it may come in two variants — one powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (for select regions) and another with the Exynos 2500 (for markets like India).
On the camera front, the S25 FE could include a triple setup with a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto with 3x zoom. A 12MP front camera is expected for selfies. A 4800mAh battery with 45W wired Fast charging and wireless charging support should also be part of the package.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE: Launch Date (Expected)
The S25 FE is expected to debut globally in mid-September 2025, alongside or shortly after the iPhone 17 launch.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE: Expected Price
The device is likely to be priced between Rs 55,000 and Rs 60,000 in India, positioning it as a flagship alternative at a lower price point.
Oppo F31 Series (India Launch)
Oppo is preparing to launch its F31 series in India this September, following the success of the F29 lineup earlier this year. The series will reportedly include the Oppo F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+.
All three phones in the lineup will pack a large 7,000mAh battery. The top-end Oppo F31 Pro+ is expected to feature a flat display and run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It will be the top-end smartphone in the F31 series.
The Oppo F31 Pro is tipped to be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 SoC, while the vanilla Oppo F31 may come with the Dimensity 6300. Both the F31 and F31 Pro are said to support 80W fast charging.
Oppo F31 Series: Launch Date (Expected)
The Oppo F31 series is expected to debut in India between September 12 and September 14. We’ll know more about the devices once Oppo officially starts teasing them.
Oppo F31 Series: Expected Price
The Oppo F31 could start around Rs 20,000, while the Pro models may range between Rs 25,000 and Rs 35,000.
Samsung Galaxy A17 5G (India Launch)
Samsung is also expected to expand its A-series lineup with the Galaxy A17 5G in September. Positioned as a mid-range device, it is aimed at users who want reliable performance and 5G support at a more affordable price.
The Galaxy A17 5G has a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (2,340 x 1,080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. An octa-core Exynos 1330 SoC powers the phone. It comes with a built-in storage of 128GB, which can be expanded to 1TB with a microSD card. There’s support for 4GB of RAM.

The A17 5G includes a 5,000mAh battery that supports 25W wired fast charging. It further gets a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. Connectivity options on the device includes Bluetooth v5.3, Wi-Fi 5, GPS, NFC, and a USB-C port for charging. The handset is also IP54 rated as well.
Samsung Galaxy A17 5G: Launch Date (Expected)
The device is expected to debut in India by late September 2025.
Samsung Galaxy A17 5G: Expected Price
The Galaxy A17 5G could be priced under Rs 20,000 in India, making it a strong competitor in the mid-range 5G segment. The handset is priced at EUR 239 (approx Rs 24,000) for the 4GB + 128GB version in Europe.

Spotify Messages is the latest feature the music streaming platform has announced where users will now be able to share music and talk about it on Spotify itself. DMs on Spotify are the result of feedback from users which said that “they want a dedicated space within the App to share songs, podcasts, or audiobooks they’re excited about with friends and family, and an easy way to keep track of recommendations.”
Spotify Messages will start rolling out to Free and Premium users aged 16 years and older in select markets on mobile devices.
What Are Spotify Messages?
Messages are a fast and convenient way to share and chat about what you’re listening to with the people you care about, the company says. “Messages also open up new opportunities for artists, authors, and creators—more users can spread the word about an artist’s track or creator’s podcast with their friends and family, helping drive discovery,” according to a blog post shared by the platform.
Messages are one-on-one conversations where you can share Spotify content and react with text and emojis. Here’s how you can use it:
Share Spotify content and start a message in-app with people you’ve interacted with before through Spotify.
When listening to a song, podcast, or audiobook in the Now Playing View, tap the share icon, select a friend, and hit send.
Once you accept a message request, you’ll be able to react with emojis, send texts, and seamlessly share Spotify content back and forth. Access Messages by going to your profile photo in the top left corner.
Messages are for the conversations you’re already having about music, podcasts and audiobooks with your friends and family. It’s easy to start a chat in the app with people you know and have previously shared Spotify content with. You’ll also see suggested people to message based on things like whether you’ve previously shared Spotify content with them, joined Jams, Blends, or collaborative playlists together, or if you share a Family or Duo plan.
The company confirmed that users can continue to share music on other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and more, and that Spotify Messages is meant to “complement these integrations, not replace them.”
Further, users will have the choice to accept or reject message requests from friends and family. Further, conversations are protected with industry-standard Encryption in transit and at rest. “This means your data is protected by encryption when it’s stored and when it’s on the move.” “In keeping with our platform best practices, Spotify will utilize proactive detection technology to scan messages for certain unlawful and harmful content, and our moderators will review reported content,” the company’s blog post read.
Apple Awe Dropping event has been announced for next month where the company will be introducing its next iPhone lineup of devices alongside other expected accessories, such as the AirPods Pro 3 and the Apple Watch series 11. Here’s everything to expect from the Apple event scheduled for September 2025.
The Apple Awe Dropping event 2025 will take place on September 9 at 10:30 PM IST where the company will announced new hardware. Here’s everything to expect from Apple at its upcoming event.
iPhone 17 Series and the New “Air” Model
The focal point of the event is expected to be the iPhone 17 line, debuting not just the standard, Pro, and Pro Max models, but also an ultra-thin variant—tentatively called the iPhone 17 Air. Leaks suggest the Air could measure just 5.5–5.6 mm thin, making it the slimmest iPhone ever—designed to replace the long-standing “Plus” variant. However, it is also expected to sport a 2900mAh battery which could be a potential issue but we can’t say for sure as Apple may have pulled some serious software and chip optimisation to make it last long.
As expected, Apple will limit the feature to the Pro models while the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will miss out on it. However, the 17 and 17 Air are set to get their own display upgrades, especially support for 120Hz refresh rate. Previous leaks suggest that it won’t support the ProMotion technology, though, which means these won’t be LTPO panels so the Refresh Rate won’t go down till 1Hz like in the Pro models.
Design-wise, the Pro models may ditch titanium for sleek aluminum frames and incorporate a new rectangular rear camera bar. The iPhone 17 design is expected to be the same as the iPhone 16, while the 17 Air will have a pill-shaped module with a single camera sensor. Camera upgrades include 48 MP telephoto capabilities (especially in the Pro Max) and enhanced AI camera processing.
Power Under the Hood: A19 and A19 Pro Chips
Under the hood, Apple is expected to introduce a new generation of processors. The standard iPhone 17 and the Air may run on the A19 chip, while the Pro variants likely feature the more powerful A19 Pro, built on a 2 nm process. These chips are poised to deliver faster performance, smarter multitasking, and improved battery efficiency.
Apple is also set to refresh its wearable lineup with debut options such as the Apple Watch Series 11, Watch Ultra 3, and potentially the Watch SE 3. The Ultra 3 might also include advanced health tracking features like blood-pressure monitoring.
In addition, the event may unveil the AirPods Pro (3rd Generation), highlighting updates in design and spatial audio performance. These earbuds could get a new chip for ANC, better drivers, touch controls, and a more compact design. Alongside, Apple may also debut all-new TechWoven MagSafe cases—sporting fabric materials in eye-catching colors.
Software Upgrades and AI Features
A fresh wave of software unveilings is on the horizon with iOS 26, featuring a revamped “Liquid Glass” design, AI-enhanced Siri, and tools like live translation, call screening, and a dedicated Games app. These updates align with Apple’s broader push into AI integration across its ecosystem.

The UX leverages individual red, green, and blue Mini-LEDs across thousands of dimming zones, unlike conventional single-color LEDs. This results in 95% BT.2020 colour coverage and peak brightness of up to 8,000 nits. “The result is cinema-grade accuracy, vivid and pure hues, precise dimming with 3×26-bit control, energy-efficient brightness, and low blue light technology for eye-friendly viewing,” said Hisense India.
The technology uses Hisense’s exclusive H7 picture quality chipset, driven by a 2-TOPS NPU for lifelike depth and clarity. The Hisense UX ULED series gets the Hi-View AI Engine X, which fine-tunes picture, sound, and energy efficiency in real time, ensuring optimal performance whether watching sports, movies, or gaming.
For audio, the UX delivers cinema-grade sound through its 6.2.2 channel CineStage X Surround system, co-engineered with Devialet. Top-firing speakers and a built-in subwoofer create immersive, multidimensional sound, while WiSA SoundSend and eARC support seamless, high-quality wireless audio.
Visual performance is enhanced by 3D Colour Master PRO with PANTONE-validated accuracy, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ, IMAX Enhanced, and MEMC for smooth, vivid playback. The TVs run on the VIDAA Smart OS, offering fast, secure access to entertainment, support for 28 languages including Hindi, and an industry-leading eight-year update guarantee.
For gamers, the UX offers native 165Hz Game Mode Ultra with VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for tear-free gameplay, and a dedicated Game Bar for real-time performance management.
In line with its commitment to sustainability, the UX features a solar-powered, USB-C rechargeable remote, reducing disposable battery waste while offering convenient, eco-friendly control.
