Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Spotted on Geekbench, US Variant May Sport Exynos 2400 Processor
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.
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE May Reuse Exynos Chip from Galaxy S24 FE, Report Claims
Samsung appears to be working on the Galaxy S25 FE, the next entry in its popular ‘Fan Edition’ line of smartphones. While the company has yet to officially confirm the device, industry sources suggest it could launch by late Q3 or early Q4 of 2025. Designed as a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship Galaxy S25, the upcoming model may carry over several specifications from its predecessor—including the processor.
According to a report from Android Authority, the Galaxy S25 FE is internally codenamed R13, following the naming sequence used for previous models (R12 for the Galaxy S24 FE and R11 for the S23 FE). Leaked firmware information reveals that the device is expected to use the same Exynos 2400e chipset found in last year’s S24 FE, with the codename “siop_r13s_s5e9945” hinting directly at the processor’s part number.
If these details are accurate, Samsung may be opting to reuse its Exynos 2400e chip in the new FE model, rather than upgrading to a newer SoC. This could help the company manage production costs, especially with the Fan Edition series aimed at offering flagship-like features at a more affordable price point. However, sticking with the same chip means the S25 FE may lag behind competitors powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chips—possibly even trailing the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in performance benchmarks.
In related news, the report also notes that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy M36 5G for the Indian market will be powered by the same Exynos 1380 processor used in the Galaxy M35 5G. This further suggests Samsung is focused on maintaining consistency across its midrange devices, though some fans may be disappointed by the lack of significant performance upgrades in the S25 FE. As always, more details are expected to emerge closer to the official launch window.
