Samsung is gearing up to release the Galaxy S25 FE in select global markets later this year, continuing its tradition of offering a more affordable version of its flagship phones. According to recent leaks, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected to come with notable camera upgrades, particularly an improved front-facing camera compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 FE, which sports a 10-megapixel selfie sensor. However, reports now indicate that the telephoto and ultra-wide camera modules on the new model may closely resemble those found on the current Fan Edition phone.
The Galaxy S25 FE is rumored to feature an 8-megapixel telephoto lens supporting 3x optical zoom, maintaining parity with the Galaxy S24 FE’s telephoto shooter. Additionally, the ultra-wide camera is expected to remain unchanged, using a 12-megapixel sensor equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens. These camera choices suggest Samsung aims to balance cost and performance, delivering familiar and reliable optics for fans of the FE series.
In terms of launch timing, the Galaxy S25 FE may debut in late September or early October, possibly alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE—a foldable phone rumored to be the first Fan Edition foldable model. Beyond the rear cameras, the Galaxy S25 FE is also tipped to feature a 12-megapixel front camera, offering a slight bump in selfie resolution from the previous model’s 10-megapixel sensor. The main rear camera is likely to stay consistent with the Galaxy S24 FE’s 50-megapixel primary sensor.
On the performance front, a Geekbench listing revealed the Galaxy S25 FE (model number SM-S731U) might be powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 chipset, contradicting earlier rumors about a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. There are also reports suggesting the phone could use the same Exynos 2400e chip as its predecessor. Regardless of the exact processor, the upcoming FE model is expected to continue offering solid mid-range performance, appealing to consumers looking for flagship-like features at a more accessible price point.
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.
