The best Samsung Galaxy S20 screen protectors

With more processing power than the average laptop, a 64-megapixel camera, and a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, you’ll want to keep your new Samsung Galaxy S20 as safe as possible. After spending your hard-earned cash on a new smartphone, the last thing you want is to have your phone screen scratched or damaged because you didn’t safeguard it. We’ve included both TPU and tempered glass protectors in our list of the best Samsung Galaxy S20 screen protectors, but it’s worth noting that tempered glass screen protectors can sometimes interfere with the S20’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensors — so if you use this feature, you might want to stick with the flexible film options.

Bad news, Samsung fans. The Galaxy S25 series might get a price increase
The purple Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus resting against a white pole.

The Samsung Galaxy S25's rumored launch date is just over a month away, but leaks still pour in seemingly every day. Unfortunately, the latest bears bad news: a potential price hike. The Galaxy S25 price may rise by roughly 150,000 won (around $105 USD), according to The JoongAng newspaper. The South Korean Won (KRW) has weakened compared to the USD (and currently sits at around 1,432 won to 1 USD), which means higher costs for importing components, according to Yonhap News, a South Korean news site.

The average price of Samsung devices is lower in foreign markets compared to Korea, but a major change in the home market pricing will spill over into foreign pricing, too. The recent political turmoil in South Korea, paired with increased exchange rates, is apparently driving the potential increase. The Samsung Galaxy S24 launched at $800 for the base model. The potential price increase means the Galaxy S25 could start at $900 or higher. Following that trend, we could see a starting price of $1,000 for the Galaxy S25 Plus and $1,400 for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The S24 Ultra was already $100 more expensive than the previous generation.

Some big Galaxy S25 news has left us disappointed
Three Galaxy S24 Plus models laying on a table, including the white, gray, and yellow ones.

Three Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones have been certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While that’s good news because it means the official launch is getting closer, it’s also a bit disappointing because it’s not four new Samsung phones being certified. What do we mean? The devices are almost certainly the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, so where’s the so-called Galaxy S25 Slim?

The FCC certification registers devices by model number rather than name, and lists the SM-S931B/DS, the SM-S936B/DS, and the SM-S938B/DS as new entries. The SM-S931 model number follows on from the Galaxy S24’s model number of SM-S921. The case is the same for the Galaxy S24+’s SM-S926 model number and the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s SM-S928 model number. The letter B signifies the certified model is an international version, while DS denotes a dual-SIM capability.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 colors have been the subject of a lot of speculation, as well as multiple other leaks. Now, the color choices have been confirmed once again, this time through photos of the SIM card slot. Previously, known tipster Ice Universe hinted at several of the possibilities, followed by Ross Young and then again through Evan Blass.

A set of original, presumably official SIM card tray replacements has leaked, confirming black, green, purple, blue, and white color choices. Tipster Roland Quandt (@rquandt030) at Threads shared the photos.
