Is your old smartphone slowing down? It might be time for an upgrade, and Black Friday is an incredible time to score major savings on a new phone. We’ve seen discounts on a wide range of devices today, but one of the best markdowns is on Samsung’s latest budget smartphone. Right now, you can save 27% on the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, bringing the price for the 128GB model down to $475.
That’s a considerable discount for a phone released just a few months ago. But the deal won’t be around for long because we’re in the final hours of Black Friday, so you’ll want to wrap up your shopping soon.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is designed as a more affordable entry into the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup. Its list price is $150 lower than the standard Galaxy S25 smartphone, though its size is more comparable to the S25 Plus with a 6.7-inch wide display. It offers a lightweight design with a slim profile, and is made with a sturdy aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus glass.
CNET’s Mike Sorrentino tested the Galaxy S25 FE and found the software features such as the AI-powered text calling to be standouts. Text Call lets you to text your response on a voice call and have Samsung’s robotic voice will read it out loud. Sorrentino found it to be a helpful feature when trying to get through voice-activated menus. He also noted that the phone has a «solid-performing processor» that launches apps quickly and could handle games like Fortnite well even on high graphics settings.

Google races to put Gemini at the center of Android before Apple’s AI reboot
Google is using its latest Android rollout to position Gemini as the AI layer across phones, Chrome, laptops and cars.
Google is using its latest Android rollout to make Gemini less of a chatbot and more of an operating layer across the phone, browser, car and laptop, just weeks before Apple is expected to show its own Gemini-powered Apple Intelligence reboot at WWDC.
Ahead of its Google I/O developer conference next week, the company previewed a number of Android updates, including AI-powered app automation, a smarter version of Chrome on Android, new tools for creators, a redesigned Android Auto experience, and a sweeping set of new security features.
Alphabet is counting on Gemini to help Google compete directly with OpenAI and Anthropic in the market for artificial intelligence models and services, while also serving as the AI backbone across its expansive portfolio of products, including Android. Meanwhile, Gemini is powering part of Apple’s new AI strategy, giving Google a role in the iPhone maker’s reset even as it races to prove its own version of personal AI on the phone is further along.
Sameer Samat, who oversees Google’s Android ecosystem, told CNBC that Google is rebuilding parts of Android around Gemini Intelligence to help users complete everyday tasks more easily.
“We’re transitioning from an operating system to an intelligence system,” he said.
As part of Tuesday’s announcements. Google said Gemini Intelligence will be able to move across apps, understand what’s on the screen and complete tasks that would normally require a user to jump between multiple services. That means Android is moving beyond the traditional assistant model, where users ask a question and get an answer, and acting more like an agent.
For instance, Google says Gemini can pull relevant information from Gmail, build shopping carts and book reservations. Samat gave the example of asking Gemini to look at the guest list for a barbecue, build a menu, add ingredients to an Instacart list and return for approval before checkout.
A big concern surrounding agentic AI involves software taking action on a user’s behalf without permissions. Samat said Gemini will come back to the user before completing a transaction, adding, “the human is always in the loop.”
Four months after announcing its Gemini deal with Google, Apple is under pressure to show a more capable version of Apple Intelligence, which has been a relative laggard on the market. Apple has long framed privacy, hardware integration and control of the user experience as its advantages.
Google’s Android push is designed to show it can bring AI deeper into the device experience while still giving users control over what Gemini can see, where it can act and when it needs confirmation.
The app automation features will roll out in waves, starting with the latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, before expanding across more Android devices, including watches, cars, glasses and laptops later this year.
The company is also redesigning Android Auto around Gemini, turning the car into another major surface for its assistant. Android Auto is in more than 250 million cars, and Google says the new release includes its biggest maps update in a decade and Gemini-powered help with tasks like ordering dinner while driving.
Alphabet’s AI strategy has been embraced by Wall Street, which has pushed the company’s stock price up more than 140% in the past year, compared to Apple’s roughly 40% gain. Investors now want to see how Gemini can become more central to the products people use every day.
