The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is anticipated to launch later this year as the follow-up to the Galaxy S24 FE, which is currently available in India and other global markets. The Galaxy S24 FE was powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400e chipset, a slightly toned-down variant of the more powerful Exynos 2400 found in the premium Galaxy S24 flagship models last year. Unlike the Galaxy S24 series, which featured different processors depending on the region, the Galaxy S25 lineup moved to a unified platform with all models equipped with the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC. However, recent leaks have sparked fresh speculation about the processor that will power the Galaxy S25 FE.
A recent Geekbench listing, spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav, has added to the ongoing rumors about the Galaxy S25 FE’s chipset. The listing reveals details such as the device’s model name, benchmark scores, RAM, and software version. Interestingly, it contradicts earlier reports that suggested the device might feature a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. Instead, the Geekbench data points to an Exynos 2400 chipset powering the phone, raising questions about Samsung’s strategy for the FE model this year.
While MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chip is considered a strong contender thanks to its superior performance at 3.62GHz and efficient 3nm manufacturing process, the Exynos 2400 remains a capable choice, having powered the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus in India last year. The initial speculation around the Galaxy S25 FE indicated that Samsung might continue using the same chipset as the Galaxy S24 FE or even opt for MediaTek’s processors if there were production issues with Exynos chips. The Geekbench listing, however, confirms the presence of the Exynos 2400 in at least one variant of the Galaxy S25 FE.
The model number revealed in the benchmark, which includes a ‘U’ suffix, suggests that the US version of the Galaxy S25 FE could be the one powered by the Exynos 2400, similar to Samsung’s previous approach with different chips for different regions. Meanwhile, other markets may receive a version equipped with a MediaTek processor, although this remains unconfirmed. Overall, Samsung’s chipset strategy for the Galaxy S25 FE continues to be a topic of speculation as we await official details closer to the phone’s launch.
