The Galaxy S25 is yet another competent phone from Samsung. If you've been on your current device for a few years and you're shopping for something small and new, it's a fine pick. Still, I wish Samsung had moved the ball forward a little more this year — this is another in a line of very iterative Galaxy updates.

The budget Galaxy F06 5G will ship with One UI 7, while most of Samsung's lineup remains without any information about the Android 15 update.

We’re now keeping our phones longer between upgrades, which is why the guaranteed minimum support periods are extending across the board. It is clear that this update decision from Samsung will affect millions of users, and while three-monthly updates is better than no updates, it doesn’t help when there’s an urgent fix mid-cycle.

One of the attractive devices is the Galaxy SmartTag, although its biggest downside is it’s a Samsung exclusive and only works with Galaxy phones. Until now, that is. As detailed by 9to5Google, there’s now an app available called uTag (universal tag) that expands support for all.

Many Samsung phone users are eagerly awaiting the update to One UI 7, which brings many improvements and new features. However, not everyone will get it, and the rest will have to patiently wait their turn.
