Samsung has officially confirmed that the Galaxy S25 FE will be launched on September 4, just a few days before Apple introduces its iPhone 17 series on September 9. The Fan Edition phone is expected to bring a balance of performance, premium features, and relatively more affordable pricing compared to the flagship Galaxy S25 models.
What to Expect from the Galaxy S25 FE
Leaks and reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1080 x 2340 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
For cameras, Samsung is expected to include a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, buyers could see an upgrade to a 12MP selfie shooter, up from last year’s 10MP unit.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the device is rumored to run on the Exynos 2400 processor, which should offer better performance compared to the Exynos 2400e used in the previous Galaxy S24 FE. Storage options are likely to include 8GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage.
The battery is also getting a small boost. The Galaxy S25 FE is tipped to carry a 4,900mAh battery, paired with 45W fast charging and 15W wireless charging support.
Software and Long-Term Support
Samsung is expected to ship the S25 FE with One UI 8 based on Android 16. Like its more expensive siblings, the phone will reportedly get seven years of OS updates and security patches, which is a strong selling point for users looking for long-term value.
Pricing Details
Reports suggest the Galaxy S25 FE could start at $649.99 (around ₹57,000) for the 128GB variant, while the 256GB model may be priced at $709.99 (around ₹62,000). Indian pricing may vary slightly, but for context, the Galaxy S24 FE launched at ₹59,999 and ₹65,999 for its two variants.
The Bigger Picture
Samsung’s timing with the Galaxy S25 FE is no coincidence—it lands just ahead of Apple’s iPhone 17 launch, giving buyers an alternative in the premium smartphone segment. With strong specs, long-term software support, and competitive pricing, the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated phones of September.
