The S25 FE uses last year’s Exynos 2400 – however, you can get a phone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite from this year for less money.
Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 FE this week, a more affordable variant of its flagship S-series. Also new this week are flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra. Let’s have a look at what kind of offers are available.
There’s no pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, the phone went on sale immediately. You still get a perk for getting in early, though, a free storage upgrade (i.e. 256GB for the price of 128GB).
Offers for last year’s Galaxy S24 FE have dried up – we will revisit that in the coming weeks, maybe offers will return if there is enough stock. For now, let’s concentrate on what the new model brings over the old.
Samsung shaved 23g off the weight of the new FE and 0.6mm off the thickness (to 190g and 7.4mm). At the same time, the company increased the battery capacity to 4,900mAh (+200mAh). Not just that, wired charging rate was boosted to 45W (0-65% in 30 min, compared to 0-50% in 30 min on the old FE) and wireless to 25W (up from 25W and 15W, respectively). Also, the regular Exynos 2400 chipset (instead of the 2400e) has higher clock speeds.
