Samsung has unveiled its latest offerings, the Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Tab S11 series, continuing its tradition of releasing value-driven devices. The Galaxy S25 FE, priced at $650, maintains the same cost as its predecessor, the S24 FE. It features a 6.7-inch display, appealing to consumers seeking substantial functionality without breaking the bank, reports 24brussels.
The Galaxy S25 FE boasts incremental improvements, including an upgrade in battery capacity from 4,700mAh to 4,900mAh and enhanced selfie capabilities, raising the resolution from 10 to 12 megapixels. The device is powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset and is available with 8GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB. Despite these updates, the 8-megapixel telephoto lens remains underwhelming compared to the flagship S25 and S25 Plus models.
Alongside the smartphone, Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, featuring a 14.6-inch screen, and the standard Tab S11 with an 11-inch display, priced at $1,199 and $799, respectively. Notable features of the S11 Ultra include an anti-reflective display coating, tailored for users who may utilize the tablet as a laptop alternative. Furthermore, both tablets come equipped with a stylus, a notable inclusion absent from Apple’s tablet offerings.
Samsung emphasizes the S25 FE and Tab S11 series as part of its strategy to compete aggressively in the midrange market segment, positioning the S25 FE against models such as the more expensive Pixel 10, which retails at $799. While the Pixel offers optical zoom, the S25 FE serves to entice potential iPhone buyers with its lower price while providing comparable camera features.
All devices ship with One UI 8, based on Android 16, and are available for purchase starting today, catering to a market increasingly focused on value without sacrificing quality.

Mike Pence has said that he has “no doubt” that Russia will cross a Nato country’s border if it wins in Ukraine. Appearing on Newsnight on Friday (5 September), Donald Trump’s former vice president said that the US and its European allies would have to “confront him militarily” if the Russian president expanded his war efforts further into the continent. He said he envisages the US as a “backstop” to confronting aggression, though European allies would “be at the forefront”. Mr Pence went on to praise the “coalition of the willing” for “formulating the kind of security guarantees that would create the conditions for a just and lasting peace”, adding that it has “captured Putin’s attention”.

Iran Criticizes Western Nuclear Proliferation Concerns Amid New Developments
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, declared on September 6, 2025, that the perception of “Western hysteria over nuclear proliferation in our region is nothing but fluff.” His comments highlight the growing concern over the contrast between recent conflicts and ongoing activities at the Dimona nuclear reactor in Israel, which, according to a report by the Associated Press, may be related to the development of nuclear weapons, reports 24brussels.
On social media platform X, Araghchi criticized the West for not addressing the expansion of Israel’s nuclear capabilities, stating that their real concern lies not in nuclear arsenals but in determining who is allowed to pursue scientific advancement, even for peaceful purposes.
“It is therefore not a surprise that there is deafening Western silence over the apparent expansion of the only nuclear weapons arsenal in our region—the nukes in the hands of their genocidal ally,” he stated, referring to Israel.
He added that while the E3 nations (France, Germany, and the UK) and the United States may choose to deny these developments, their silence undermines their credibility in discussions around nuclear non-proliferation.
Recent reports indicate significant construction activity at the Shimon Peres Nuclear Research Center in the Negev desert, where the Dimona reactor is situated, shrouded in secrecy regarding the project’s true nature.
Tesla has been working on modified Model Ys for its Robotaxi program

Tesla Robotaxi opened up a waitlist for all iOS users on Wednesday.
Some users were able to get off the waitlist but were put right back on it.
It’s just one example of how the service is in its early stages as it quickly moves to expand.
Finally, after a few months of waiting — and even flying out to Austin just to ride in a Tesla Robotaxi — I scored a golden ticket for the service late Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, Tesla made the Robotaxi app available to all iOS users, allowing the public to join a waitlist for the service.
I downloaded the app and joined the waitlist around 8:30 p.m. PT on Wednesday. To my surprise, I saw that I was taken off the waitlist in about three hours. Users on X reported a similar experience.
I was surprised because the public rollout of the app didn’t come with an announcement from Tesla or Elon Musk that Robotaxi would add more cars to the San Francisco Bay Area or Austin, where the service currently operates.
More cars mean a better ability to meet the demand. A Tesla spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
If users like me were taken off the waitlist that fast, without clarity on whether more cars were put on the roads, what would this do to pick-up times?
During my brief time with the app, the pick-up ETAs were high. Estimated times ranged from 12 minutes to up to 40 minutes. Twelve minutes can be par for the course in SF for Uber or Waymo’s robotaxis; but 40 minutes? It doesn’t even take that long to travel across a congested SF.
Then, on Thursday evening, I noticed my access was revoked. For reasons unclear, I had to sign up again to be put back on the waitlist.

Some users on X reported the same thing.
“I had access to @robotaxi all day and all of a sudden I’m back on the waitlist screen,” one user wrote. “Tried reinstalling the app too. Bug?”
Early days for Tesla Robotaxi
This story is not to air out frustrations about getting booted. (Although, it’d sure be nice to get it back!) My experience and that of others are a reminder that it’s still early days for Tesla Robotaxi, which launched in Austin in June.
By the time of my Austin trip, Tesla had already expanded the geo-fence just a few weeks after the start of the pilot launch. Tesla’s VP of AI software, Ashok Elluswamy, said at the end of July thatthere were a “handful” of Tesla Robotaxis on the roads.
Robotaxis on the road are still working out some kinks. As I reported in my “Robotaxi vs. Waymo” story, I saw an error that required the safety monitor in the passenger seat to pause the trip.
Some early-access users have also noted interventions, while others have reported incident-free experiences.
Pick-up times during my trip to Austin also weren’t always consistent.
After a second geo-fence expansion, Tesla said on August 26 that the service area now stands at 173 square miles. The company said that it “increased # of cars available by 50%” in the city but did not provide a specific count. So a handful and a half?
By comparison, Waymo covers about 90 square miles with about 100 robotaxis in Austin.
Meanwhile, Tesla also started taking riders in the Bay Area on July 31. The service area included all of San Francisco, San Jose, and parts of the East Bay Area, including Berkeley. But can we call it a “robotaxi?”
Due to California regulations, Tesla put a safety monitor directly behind the wheel. In Austin, a safety monitor sits in the front passenger seat.
In Texas, Tesla Robotaxi started to take riders on the highway this month — a notable milestone considering Waymo isn’t taking public riders on the highways yet.
However, the in-car safety monitor moves to the driver’s seat for highway rides. Tesla said on X that it was doing so out of an abundance of caution.
For this and other reasons, some critics say Tesla Robotaxi isn’t quite there.
“It’s (rather obviously) not a robotaxi if there’s an employee inside the car,” John Krafcik, the ex-Waymo CEO, told me in August.
However, Tesla analysts I’ve spoken with wouldn’t count out Musk’s company from the robotaxi race.
Alex Roy, a former director at Argo AI, a self-driving startup, and general partner at New Industry VC, told me in June that he sees a method to the madness.
He called Tesla’s steps necessary to keep up with the “perception of real progress.” Instead of waiting to remove the safety driver, for example, Tesla will move ahead and add more cities or expand geofences, Roy said.
In Wednesday’s case, Tesla made the app widely available to iOS users in the US and Canada. That won’t mean much if you’re outside of the geofence in the Bay Area and Austin.
Then, of course, you’ll have to get off the waitlist.
As part of this year’s training plan, the Azerbaijani Navy has conducted exercises on “Organizing Anti-Submarine Sabotage Defense of the Ship” and “Ensuring Ship Survivability While in Port,” Azernews reports, citing the Ministry of Defense.
