Samsung has introduced the Galaxy S25 FE, the latest Fan Edition model, at IFA 2025. Positioned as a gateway to the Galaxy AI ecosystem, this new entry delivers flagship-level features at a more accessible price point.
Slimmer, Lighter, and More Refined Design
The Galaxy S25 FE brings back premium hallmarks with a redesigned Armor Aluminum frame, offering improved durability while trimming down to just 7.4 mm thick and weighing a feather-light 190 g—a notable upgrade from its predecessor. The device is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+ and retains an IP68 rating, keeping it resilient against real-world use.
Brilliant Display and Fluid Visuals
Sporting a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, the S25 FE delivers Full HD+ clarity and up to 1,900 nits of brightness—ideal for outdoor visibility. A 120 Hz refresh rate keeps interactions fluid, though it lacks the adaptive down to 1 Hz of higher-end models.
Performance that Keeps Pace
Driving the device is Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chip, paired with 8 GB RAM and your choice of 128, 256, or 512 GB storage. Notably, Samsung has upgraded the thermal performance with a 13% larger vapor chamber, improving sustained performance during longer usage sessions.
Bigger Battery with Faster Charging
The Galaxy S25 FE steps up battery life with a 4,900 mAh unit, paired with 45W fast wired charging that reaches around 65% in just half an hour—plus 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging for convenience.
Cameras Get Smarter with AI
Photography-wise, the S25 FE sticks with a 50 MP OIS main rear sensor, paired with 12 MP ultrawide and an 8 MP 3× telephoto lens. The big leap comes with its 12 MP upgraded front camera, powered by the ProVisual Engine for enhanced AI selfies, Nightography, Generative Edit, Instant Slow-mo, Audio Eraser, and more—making editing and enhancements effortless.
Software and AI Features: Smarter Than Ever
Running on Android 16 with One UI 8, the S25 FE brings an array of Galaxy AI tools to everyday use. Now Brief gives contextual updates, Now Bar offers quick-access shortcuts, while Circle to Search, Gemini Live, and other generative tools power smarter productivity. All these are backed by the device’s Knox Enhanced Encryption for enhanced privacy.
Availability and Pricing
The device goes on sale from September 4, 2025, in select markets. In Spain, the base 8 GB + 128 GB model starts at €759, and comes bundled with six months of Google AI Pro, enhancing access to features like Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM.
Final Thoughts
With the Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung delivers a compelling mix of premium design, AI-driven features, and performance—without the flagship price. Its slimmer build, stronger battery, and improved AI capabilities make it a smart choice for users who want modern innovations like Generative Edit, Audio Eraser, and 7 years of software updates, without compromising value.
