It appears that today’s news is all about smartphone colors. Earlier, we mentioned that an upcoming Google Pixel 9 could be available in a bright pink color. Now, we have information about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE colors.

According to leaker Ross Young (posting on X, formerly Twitter), Samsung plans to release its next “Fan Edition” phone in black, gray, light blue, light green, and yellow. The Galaxy S23 FE is currently available in graphite, purple, cream, mint, tangerine, and indigo.

In June, OnLeaks shared the first potential look at the Galaxy S24 FE in light green, as you can see above. That, combined with Young’s track record, is a pretty good indication that these are, in fact, the colors Samsung will have for the S24 FE.

Galaxy S FE models typically combine some of the top features of the regular Galaxy lineup while leaving out others to keep the price lower. For instance, the Galaxy S23 FE is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, one generation behind the Galaxy S23’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Galaxy S23 FE also has a slightly less advanced camera system than the regular Galaxy S23.

However, the current FE model does offer some improved features compared to the Galaxy S23. This includes a larger display and battery at a lower price.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 FE in October of last year, while the previous model, the Galaxy S21 FE, was released in January 2022. Assuming Samsung sticks to the same general timeline, the Galaxy S24 FE should arrive no later than the end of the year or early in January. Until then, the company is poised to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 on July 10 at a Galaxy Unpacked event.

Rumors about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series are slowly emerging, some more believable than others. The latest rumor falls into the “take it with a grain of salt” category.

Samsung is expected to unveil new products at a press event in Paris, France, on July 10. Although we’ve known which devices will likely be showcased for months, a new leak has confirmed at least one of the devices in the lineup.

Forget the Galaxy Z Fold 6. This new folding phone already beat it

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro held in hand.

Foldable phones are pretty darn expensive. This means buying more than one is usually off the table for most folks, including those who already have the money to buy one. So if you buy a foldable that good but not great, you're most likely going to end up with buyer's remorse and even end up hating the form factor altogether.
That brings me to Vivo's newest sideways folding smartphone: the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. It's the most put-together foldable phone I have used to date, leading with many superlatives in the category. This includes the brightest display on a foldable, the fastest charging on a foldable, and arguably some of the best cameras paired with Zeiss' incredible science. It may very well be the best Android phone -- not just the best foldable -- I have used so far.

The X Fold 3 Pro is Vivo's third Fold, as the name gives away. But it's only the first time that Vivo has the confidence to release it outside of China. The phone is still only selling in parts of Asia for now, and while there is some hope for it to launch in Europe, that may depend on its success in the existing markets. For Vivo, however, it's more of a statement piece than just a product, which is why it has gone above and beyond in making it one of its most likable devices so far.
I have been using the phone for about three weeks, and I feel it challenges the limitations that incumbent leaders in the category blame for their lack of innovation -- save the folding screen. Here's why I thnk it is the best foldable and may have beat the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 even before its formal announcement.
