Galaxy S25 FE

Released September 2025

The Galaxy S25 FE is the lower-priced model in Samsung's Galaxy S25 family, with a 6.7-inch 120 Hz screen, the Exynos 2400 and a triple camera with 3× telephoto, suited to people who want the core Galaxy S experience for less.

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it has a premium build and an excellent screen, with long software support, but the Exynos chip trails flagship performance and the cameras lack fine detail. Battery life divides them: Tom's Guide found it poor and GSMArena unremarkable, while Tech Advisor was impressed. TechRadar and GSMArena felt a discounted Galaxy S25+ is better value.
