Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, expanding its Fan Edition lineup with measured yet substantial upgrades in battery, performance, and software—while preserving much of the design familiarity fans loved in the S24 FE.
Design & Build
The phone maintains a similar aesthetic to its predecessor but gains a slimmer and lighter physique thanks to the Armor Aluminum frame. It measures just 7.4 mm thick and weighs 190 g, compared to the S24 FE’s 8 mm and 213 g. It also retains Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Available in Icy Blue, Navy, Jet Black, and White, the S25 FE offers both style and durability.
Display
The device features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with up to 120 Hz refresh rate (non-LTPO, toggles between 60Hz and 120Hz) and a maximum brightness of 1,900 nits—matching last year’s model but still delivering vibrant visuals.
Performance & Thermals
Under the hood is Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chip paired with 8 GB RAM and up to 512 GB storage. A new vapor chamber cooling system, about 10% larger, helps manage thermal performance during intense use.
Battery & Charging
One of the most notable upgrades: the battery capacity jumps to 4,900 mAh—a clear improvement over the S24 FE’s 4,500 mAh. It supports 45 W wired charging, achieving 65% charge in 30 minutes, while wireless charging remains at 15 W (with Qi2 support, but no embedded magnets).
Cameras
The rear triple-camera setup remains unchanged: 50 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide, and 8 MP telephoto (3× optical zoom). However, the selfie camera sees a boost—from 10 MP to 12 MP—enhancing clarity for selfies and video calls.
Software & AI Features
The Galaxy S25 FE arrives with Android 16 atop One UI 8, the same version found in Samsung’s latest foldables. It embraces a suite of Galaxy AI tools: Now Brief, Now Bar, Circle to Search, Generative Edit, Instant Slow-mo, Audio Eraser, ProVisual Engine, and more. Buyers also receive six months of Google AI Pro, granting access to advanced tools like Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM.
Software Support
Samsung pledges seven generations of Android and One UI updates, along with seven years of security updates, starting from the global launch—matching or even exceeding the support of its premium flagship siblings.

Availability & Pricing
Announced at IFA Berlin on September 4, 2025, the Galaxy S25 FE is now available in select markets. In Spain, pricing starts at €759 for the base model (8 GB/128 GB) with a six-month Google AI Pro plan included. U.K. pricing begins at £649, with higher storage variants up to £799, along with promotional trade-in offers and a Galaxy Watch7 bundle.
Conclusion
The Galaxy S25 FE smartly builds upon its predecessor by delivering meaningful upgrades—especially in battery, charging, front-camera quality, and software innovation—while retaining the sleek FE design and expanding access to Galaxy AI. With robust long-term support and competitive pricing, it’s a compelling choice for those seeking flagship-level features without the flagship-level cost.
