Samsung has officially launched its latest Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S25 FE, at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Blending premium hardware from the Galaxy S25 series with an accessible price point, the new handset promises flagship-grade performance without the flagship sticker shock. It debuts OneUI 8 on Android 16, introduces enhanced Galaxy AI capabilities, and sports a sleeker, lighter design.
Specifications and Features
- Display: 6.7” Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 1900 nits peak brightness (Vision Booster)
- Processor & Memory: Exynos 2400 chipset, 8GB RAM, up to 512GB storage
- Thermal Management: Expanded vapor chamber with liquid thermal system for sustained peak performance
- Software Enhancements: OneUI 8 on Android 16 featuring Now Bar, Now Brief, Circle to Search gameplay integration, Gemini Live, Audio Eraser, plus KEEP Knox security
Design and Battery
The Galaxy S25 FE sports a matte-glass back, aluminium frame, and measures 0.6 mm thinner than its predecessor. Weighing just 190 grams, it balances a large display with ergonomic comfort. Power comes from a 4900 mAh battery, supporting up to 45W wired fast charging for rapid top-ups.
Camera System
Samsung retains its signature triple-camera layout:
- 50 MP main sensor
- 12 MP ultrawide lens
- 8 MP telephoto lens with 3× optical zoom
On the front, a 12 MP selfie camera replaces last year’s 10 MP unit, improving low-light performance and video-call clarity.
Price and Availability
Available in Navy, Jet Black, and White colour options, the Galaxy S25 FE offers three storage configurations: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 8GB + 512GB. Purchasers receive a six-month Google AI Pro trial, unlocking tools such as Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM. Samsung will announce Indian pricing and the official sale date in the coming weeks.
Looking Ahead
Samsung is expected to roll out early-bird trade-in discounts and launch-day bundle offers, including Galaxy Buds and protect-your-screen packages. In the sub-Rs. 60,000 segment, the S25 FE will go head-to-head with the Google Pixel 9a, Vivo X200 FE, Oppo Find X8 and OnePlus 13R, both targeting performance-minded buyers. Thanks to its upgraded vapor cooling and Exynos 2400, the S25 FE may set new standards for sustained gaming and multitasking in its price bracket.
