iPhone 17, Galaxy S25 FE, Huawei Watch GT 6, Silksong: Everything Dropping This September

September 2025 is packed with major tech releases, from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to Apple’s iPhone 17 series with iOS 26, Huawei’s Watch GT 6 and Mate XT, plus the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong. Here’s everything you need to know.

1. Apple: iPhone 17 Line-up and iOS 26

Every September, Apple takes centre stage, and this year all eyes are on the iPhone 17 series. Apple is expected to roll out the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The spotlight will likely be on the Pro models, which are rumoured to introduce slimmer bezels, improved cameras, and even more advanced AI integration for photography and video editing.

Alongside the iPhones, Apple will also roll out iOS 26. For iPhone users in Nigeria and across the globe, this update promises smoother performance, deeper personalisation options, and stronger privacy controls.

Apple typically reserves some of its biggest software features for its latest iPhones, but older models will still receive a decent share of the new features.

For those in Nigeria who rely heavily on their phones for work, business, or entertainment, the iPhone 17 launch is particularly important because it often sets the tone for mobile trends for the next year. Expect plenty of talk around pricing too, especially with the naira exchange rate influencing how quickly people upgrade.

2. Samsung: Galaxy S25 FE

Samsung isn’t taking a back seat this month either. The company is preparing to launch the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, a fan-edition smartphone designed to deliver flagship-level performance at a more affordable cost.

According to reports, this device will not feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip but will instead rely on Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 processor in most markets. That’s an interesting decision because many fans associate Snapdragon with stronger performance, but Samsung seems confident in its chip’s ability to compete.

The Galaxy S25 FE is also expected to feature a triple-camera setup, a vibrant AMOLED display, and a sufficiently large battery to support busy everyday usage. Nigerians who want premium Samsung design without paying Galaxy S25 Ultra prices will definitely be watching this one.

3. Samsung: Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

For people who prefer bigger screens, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is another major September launch. This tablet is designed for heavy users, think creatives, designers, and professionals who want a device that can replace a laptop in some situations.

Rumours suggest it will have a 14.6-inch AMOLED display, support for Samsung’s S Pen, and up to 16GB of RAM. With Android tablets steadily improving in recent years, the Tab S11 Ultra is expected to compete strongly against Apple’s iPad Pro.

In Nigeria, tablets like these are popular with students, professionals, and even small business owners who need portable devices for presentations and remote work. Expect this release to spark conversations around which is better for productivity, Samsung’s new Ultra tablet or Apple’s iPad ecosystem.

4. Huawei: Watch GT 6 and Mate XTs

Huawei is also dropping fresh devices this month. The highlights are the Huawei Watch GT 6 and the foldable Huawei Mate XTs. The Watch GT 6 is designed for fitness and lifestyle enthusiasts. It is expected to feature improved health tracking, longer battery life, and upgraded software support.

For Nigerians who enjoy outdoor workouts or simply want a smartwatch that can last days without constant charging, this release could attract attention.

On the other hand, the Mate XTs continue Huawei’s push in the foldable phone market. Foldables are still a niche market, but they’re gradually finding their place, and Huawei’s Mate series has often impressed with its durable designs and flexible displays. The Mate XTs will likely compete directly with Samsung’s foldables, offering an alternative for users who want premium design with unique Huawei features.

5. Qualcomm: Snapdragon Announcement

September will also see an important chipset announcement. Qualcomm is reportedly preparing updates around its Snapdragon line. While full details are under wraps, Snapdragon processors power many of the Android smartphones Nigerians use every day.

These announcements typically set the tone for performance improvements in the coming year, including enhanced gaming, faster AI processing, and more efficient power usage. For readers who may not be concerned with chip names, consider Snapdragon as the engine inside most Android phones. When Qualcomm upgrades its chips, your next phone becomes smoother, faster, and more capable.

6. Hollow Knight: Silksong Finally Arrives

Moving away from hardware, one of the most anticipated gaming releases in years is finally here, Hollow Knight: Silksong. After years of waiting, fans will finally be able to play it this September.

Developed by Team Cherry, this sequel to the original Hollow Knight promises expanded worlds, new characters, and challenging gameplay.

What’s exciting is that Silksong will launch at a price point of $29.99, and it will be released globally simultaneously, meaning Nigerian gamers won’t have to wait extra months to play.

With gaming on the rise in Nigeria thanks to better internet access and more affordable consoles, Silksong could easily become one of the most talked-about games of the year.

Why These September Tech Releases Matter

For tech lovers in Nigeria, these releases aren’t just international headlines; they directly influence the devices and software we’ll be using. The iPhone 17 and iOS 26 will set the direction for mobile updates, while Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE offers a more wallet-friendly flagship alternative.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra could change how students and professionals approach productivity, and Huawei’s Watch GT 6 and Mate XTs bring more choice in the smartwatch and foldable markets.

On the gaming side, Hollow Knight: Silksong reflects an inclusion of Nigerian gamers who are now part of the global conversation, playing new releases on the same day as everyone else. And Qualcomm’s Snapdragon announcements will quietly power many of the phones hitting shelves in 2026, shaping experiences even if most people don’t realise it.

September 2025 is packed with launches that cut across phones, tablets, wearables, software, and gaming. For Nigerians keeping an eye on what’s worth buying or upgrading to, these are the releases to watch closely.
