Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, the latest addition to its flagship lineup, bringing subtle upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 FE.

At first glance, the new device looks quite similar, both in design and packaging, arriving in the familiar slim box with just a USB-C cable inside.

The Galaxy S25 FE retains many of the popular features of last year’s model, including a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, 8GB of RAM, and a triple rear camera system. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset, which offers modest improvements compared to the Exynos 2400e found in the previous edition.

One of the noticeable upgrades comes in the form of a larger battery. The Galaxy S25 FE packs a 200mAh boost in capacity, delivering better endurance. However, Samsung has kept the same charging speeds—45W wired and 25W wireless—which are slower than many competitors in the same price segment.

Despite housing a bigger battery, the Galaxy S25 FE is actually lighter than the S24 FE. Samsung managed to reduce the overall weight by 23 grams, giving the phone a more comfortable feel in hand. Combined with its matte glass back and flat metal sides, the S25 FE feels more refined and premium to hold compared to its predecessor.

In terms of design, users will find a sleek and durable build, offered in four stylish colors: Icy Blue, Jet Black, Navy, and White. The device also comes in multiple storage configurations—128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, each paired with 8GB of RAM.

Pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE starts at €749 ($875) for the base 128GB model, €809 ($945) for the 256GB version, and €929 ($1,084) for the 512GB variant. With competitive specifications, a refined design, and a lighter build, the S25 FE is shaping up to be a strong contender in the premium mid-range smartphone market.

Tech enthusiasts and Samsung fans can now look forward to detailed reviews as the Galaxy S25 FE undergoes testing to see how it performs in real-world use.
