Samsung has officially confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will be released earlier in the year than the Galaxy S24 FE (€ 403.00 *). The market launch is expected to take place in August or early September 2025 at the latest and not at the end of September. In terms of technology, the device relies on tried-and-tested components such as a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120 Hz, the Exynos 2400e chip, 8 GB RAM and a choice of 128 or 256 GB storage. This is complemented by 45-watt fast charging, Android 16 with One UI 8 and seven years of update support.
Market launch – earlier date planned
As part of its financial results for Q2 2025, Samsung stated that the Galaxy S25 FE will launch faster than its predecessor. While the Galaxy S24 FE was presented at the end of September 2024, Samsung is aiming for a launch as early as the end of August or beginning of September 2025 this year. This strategic time shift is intended to boost Christmas sales and make room for further product launches such as the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, new Galaxy A models and the Project Moohan headset.
Hardware and design – solid evolution instead of revolution
The design remains true to the familiar fan edition look, with very narrow screen edges and a reduced case height of around 7.4 mm compared to 8 mm for the predecessor. In terms of technology, the Galaxy S25 FE offers a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits. Inside is the Exynos 2400e, a powerful but slightly slimmed-down processor compared to the S25 series.
It is supported by 8 GB of RAM and a choice of 128 or 256 GB of internal memory – just like the previous model. When it comes to colors, Samsung brings a breath of fresh air to the fan edition: Navy, Icy Blue, Jet Black and White replace the previous options. The camera equipment includes a triple camera on the back with a 50 MP main sensor, 12 MP ultra-wide angle and 8 MP telephoto zoom with triple optical zoom. The front camera is expected to offer 12 MP.
Samsung also relies on solid battery performance – a battery with around 4,700 to 4,900 mAh is fast-charged with 45 W via cable. The device also supports the current Qi 2.1 wireless standard for wireless charging. Other features include a fingerprint sensor integrated under the display, IP67 certification for water and dust protection, stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and Galaxy AI features, which can also be found on the top models in the S series.
Rating for those interested in technology
The Galaxy S25 FE is an attractive option for technology enthusiasts who are looking for a well-equipped mid-range smartphone with high-quality workmanship and long software support. The early market launch in particular opens up more scope for price promotions and bundles, for example during the back-to-school period or just in time for the fall business. The long update guarantee of seven years should also be a clear argument for many users, especially if security and regular function updates are important to them.
The use of the Exynos 2400e is understandable from a cost perspective, but could be a minor drawback for demanding gamers or power users – especially in comparison to devices with Snapdragon chips. The comparatively moderate RAM of 8 GB could also reach its limits in a few years. For the broad target group, however, the S25 FE offers a good overall package that meets modern standards and makes many functions of the flagship class accessible at a significantly lower price.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is coming sooner than expected – probably in August or early September 2025. With a slim design, fast 120 Hz AMOLED, quick charging function, strong software support and regular mid-range pricing (around 600 euros), it offers a convincing overall package for buyers interested in technology. If you can do without the top performance of the Samsung Galaxy S25 (€ 905.11 *), you get a well-balanced smartphone with long-term update security.
