With the possible exception of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim, Samsung’s releases for this year are likely ending. As a result, the focus is shifting toward the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to debut in January. While there has been minimal information about these phones, the latest news isn’t positive.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is more polished, feature-rich, and expensive than ever, with a starting price of $1,899 for the 256GB variant.

Samsung's Galaxy AI is mostly stuff we're used to by now, like AI-assisted live translation and writing help. One of Galaxy AI's more novel features, "sketch to image," lets you insert realistic AI-generated objects into existing photos by sketching over top of them. It's a fun enough gimmick, but it doesn't take many repetitions for putting AI-generated hats on people to lose its novelty.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.
