Samsung Unveils the Galaxy S25 FE with Significant Upgrades
Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S25 FE, introducing a series of exciting enhancements to its popular Fan Edition smartphone/mobile lineup. This new device builds on the foundation of the Galaxy S24 FE while bringing key upgrades in battery technology, performance, and software, all wrapped in a familiar and durable design.
Design and Display: A Familiar Yet Refined Look
The Galaxy S25 FE features a sleek design that closely resembles its predecessor. It boasts a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a Full HD+ resolution. The screen is impressively bright, reaching up to 1,900 nits of peak brightness, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight.
For enhanced security, the phone now includes a faster and more consistent ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. The device also maintains its IP68 water and dust resistance rating and is protected by durable Gorilla Glass Victus+ and a sturdy Armor Aluminum frame. It is available in four stylish colors: Jetblack, Icyblue, Navy, and White.
Performance and Software: Power and Longevity
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 FE is powered by the 4nm Exynos 2400 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM. This powerful combination ensures smooth performance for all your apps and games. To keep the phone cool during intense use, Samsung has included a 10% larger vapor chamber, which significantly improves thermal management.
The device comes with Android 16 and Samsung’s latest One UI 8.0 interface. Samsung has set a new standard for longevity by promising an impressive seven years of OS and security updates, matching its flagship support policy. This means your phone will stay current and secure for years to come.
The S25 FE also features a suite of advanced AI tools, including:
- Gemini Live
- Circle to Search
- ProVisual Engine
- Generative Edit
- Audio Eraser
Upgraded Cameras for Creative Photography
The S25 FE features a versatile triple-camera system on the back. The main camera is a high-resolution 50MP sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). It is joined by a 12MP ultrawide lens with a 123-degree field of view and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. For selfies, the front-facing camera has been upgraded to 12MP. The phone supports 4K video recording and includes new AI-enhanced features like dual video mode and instant slow motion.
Battery and Charging: A Game-Changer
One of the most notable upgrades is the battery. The Galaxy S25 FE is equipped with a 4,900 mAh battery, a slight increase over the S24 FE. More importantly, it features new silicon carbon battery technology, allowing for a larger capacity in a slimmer design. The phone supports 45W fast wired charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in just 30 minutes. It also supports wireless and reverse wireless charging for added convenience.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy S25 FE is now available, with the base model starting at approximately $875 in Europe. While this price is higher than its predecessor’s launch price, Samsung expects prices in regions like the US and India to be more competitive.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE offers a compelling package of powerful performance, a long-lasting battery, and robust software support. With its focus on key upgrades and enhanced features, it stands as a strong contender in the premium mid-range smartphone market.
