SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has become a stalwart in integrating Al into phones.

- REVIEWED BY GABRIEL PE

Since introducing Galaxy Al with last year's Galaxy S24 lineup, Samsung has continued refining how Al fits into everyday smartphone use—and they've also been generous in making it accessible to more users through the Fan Edition line.

The Galaxy Fan Edition, or FE, has built its reputation as a mid-range alternative to Samsung's flagship S-series. It offers a near-flagship experience in both software and design, and this year's FE device pushes that even further, coming closer than ever to the real thing.

DESIGN

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE features a 6.7-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display that's vivid, sharp, and easily comparable to the rest of the S25 series. It's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both sides and framed in aluminum, making it lighter than its predecessor without losing its premium feel.

Design-wise, it follows the familiar S-series aesthetic, complete with the now-iconic triple camera layout at the back. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of Samsung's choice to keep the same look for three years, but to be fair, it still works. The clean, minimalist design feels refined, not dated.

At the front is a 12MP selfie camera, while the back houses the 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. Around the frame, you'll find the speaker and USB-C port at the bottom, the dual nano-SIM tray, and the power and volume buttons neatly placed on the right.

HARDWARE

Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 FE runs on Samsung's own Exynos 2400 chip, the same SoC found in last year's Galaxy S24 and S24+. It comes with 8GB of RAM and three storage options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
