Last week Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 FE, a refined version of the S24 FE from last year. Among the upgrades are the full Exynos 2400 chipset paired with a 10% larger vapor chamber and a larger 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging (up from 4,700mAh and 25W on the 2024 phone). In a teardown video, channel PBKreviews offers a look inside the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE and how these components have changed compared to the previous model.
I've never been quite sure what to call the category Samsung's Galaxy FE belongs to. Upper midrange? Midrange plus? Low flagship? Whatever we're calling it, Samsung is bringing the concept back again this year in the Galaxy S25 FE, which continues to stand for Fan Edition. It's still $650 like the S24 FE before it and still comes with a 6.7-inch screen, making it a big phone for the value-conscious buyer.
On Thursday next week, Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 FE and the new Galaxy Tab S11 flagship slates. There are no official details for the S25 FE yet, but we've seen leaks and we can guess that it will be an evolution of last year's S24 FE with a new chipset. Speaking of the Galaxy S24 FE, it started at $650 for the base 8/128GB model.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will have the same design as last year's model but will switch to Armor Aluminum for a slimmer, lighter profile, measuring 7.4mm and weighing 190g.
