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.
