Galaxy S25 FE leak essentially suggests that Samsung's budget flagship will get the Edge treatment
In addition to three or four new foldable devices widely expected to see daylight in just a few weeks, Samsung is almost certainly preparing an upgraded non-foldable high-ender for an official announcement by the end of the year too. The existence and impending arrival of the Galaxy S25 FE have been basically set in stone by a number of recent rumors and leaks, and now we finally know exactly how the S24 FE's sequel is supposed to look on the outside. Predictably enough, the new inexpensive Android flagship is not tipped to completely reimagine its predecessor's design, although there are at least a couple of changes in the pipeline destined to put a big smile on the faces of a lot of cash-strapped power users and hardcore Samsung fans. As much as we'd all love to see companies like Samsung break new aesthetic ground with every upgraded member of families like the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z, it's important to acknowledge that reinventing the wheel (or the classic rectangular slab look) is not easy... or very feasible in this day and age. As such, maintaining a family identity and a coherent design language while slowly but steadily improving key little details like product weight and thickness is probably the best thing Samsung can do year in and year out. Enter the Galaxy S24 FE -similar S25 FE with a 7.4mm waist. Nowhere near as thin as the S25 Edge, the S25 FE could be just about as eye-catching as the Galaxy S25. That's considerably thinner than the S24 FE's 8mm measurement, and although it obviously can't rival the industry-leading 5.8mm thinness of the first-of-a-kind Galaxy S25 Edge, it's pretty clear that this is a trend now that Samsung plans to keep going for at least a little while longer. At 7.4mm, the S25 Fan Edition will be almost as slim as the "vanilla" Galaxy S25 (which rocks a very slender 7.2mm profile of its own), but hopefully, this won't impact battery life in any noticeable way. Interestingly, the Galaxy S25 FE is also expected to be slightly shorter and narrower than the S24 FE, at 161.4 and 76.6mm respectively (compared to 162 and 77.3mm), which means a reduction in bezel size is virtually guaranteed too. That's because the S25 FE is likely to retain its predecessor's 6.7-inch screen diagonal, as well as the super-high-quality AMOLED technology, 120Hz refresh rate support, and decent albeit not glorious resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. Unfortunately, that's a strong possibility after today's highly detailed leak. Especially if Samsung manages to keep the 4,700mAh battery capacity unchanged, or even better, bump that up (somehow) to 5,000mAh. With great improvements comes a strong possibility of a (small) price increase. Under the hood, a few disappointing rumors have hinted at the use of the same Exynos 2400e processor found inside last year's Galaxy S24 FE, which would make it pretty hard for Samsung to justify any potential price hike. On the bright side, some insiders believe the Galaxy S25 FE could offer as much as 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage space in an entry-level configuration, so if that ends up costing $700 in the US instead of the $650 list price of a Galaxy S24 FE with 8GB RAM and 128GB local digital hoarding room, the value proposition might prove extremely difficult to argue with.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design revealed through CAD-based renders
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 next month, and their renders that leaked yesterday showed us the phones in different colors. However, Samsung's next high-end smartphone after these foldables won't come in 2026 but before the end of 2025. We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, which has appeared in CAD-based renders shared by SammyGuru in collaboration with OnLeaks. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design hasn't changed much from its predecessor - the Galaxy S24 FE. The smartphone has a metal build with flat frames, sports a punch-hole display on the front, and features a vertically aligned triple camera setup on the rear. On the right side of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE are the volume rocker and power button, and at the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by a SIM card slot and a speaker grille, which could also be housing a microphone. Up top is another mic. While the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's design language remains identical to that of its predecessor, the dimensions are different. According to the source, the S25 FE measures 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4 mm, compared to the S24 FE, which measures 162 x 77.3 x 8 mm. This makes the S25 FE slightly shorter than the S24 FE, but despite that, the source says that the S25 FE packs a 6.7" display - the same as the S24 FE. That's courtesy of thinner bezels. The source didn't mention the screen resolution but said it's a Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits of peak brightness. The S25 FE is also thinner than the S24 FE, and we hope that the 0.6 mm difference doesn't translate to a reduction in battery capacity, as Samsung has been allergic to using Si/C batteries in its smartphones. There's no word from Samsung about the Galaxy S25 FE. However, rumors claim that the smartphone will be powered by either the Exynos 2400 or Dimensity 9400 SoC and have 12GB of RAM onboard. It will have 256GB and 512GB storage options and could run Android 16-based One UI 8 out of the box. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE's front camera will use a 12MP sensor, while the triple camera setup on the rear will comprise 50MP primary (with OIS), 8MP telephoto (3x optical), and 12MP ultrawide units.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE tipped to feature slim design and even thinner bezels
Before Samsung could make it official, a new leak revealed a few details around the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE. The company brings the FE variant with every Galaxy S series, and the S25 is also expected to witness the same. While it is a toned-down version, the phone may cut the edge on a few specs as compared to the Galaxy S25 variant. However, the new leaks suggest that the design will go slim, and the bezels will be even slimmer. This latest sneak peek comes courtesy of leaker OnLeaks and the tech site SammyGuru. And although it's hardly surprising that someone's dug up these renders, what's really exciting is that this is the first proper look at the S25 FE's design so far. Let's take a Galaxy S25 FE design leakThat design, it seems, is an evolution rather than a full overhaul. The Galaxy S25 FE doesn't stray too far from the visual language of its predecessor, last year's Galaxy S24 FE, but there are some welcome tweaks. According to SammyGuru, the new model features noticeably slimmer bezels that will help it look more modern and refined. Another key change is its profile; at just 7.4mm thick, the Galaxy S25 FE is leaner than last year's 8mm version. When you put those numbers side by side — 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm — you can see Samsung is serious about slimming things down without shrinking the screen. advertisement Speaking of screens, the Galaxy S25 FE is tipped to pack a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That's par for the course for Samsung at this point — its Galaxy S24 FE and S25 flagship series already sport smooth 120Hz panels. The big question is whether this one will offer the adaptive refresh rate tech Samsung reserves for its priciest phones. Given that it's already present across much of the range, it would make sense for Samsung to continue this tradition in the S25 FE Galaxy S25 FE: What to expect Of course, the hardware under the surface is just as hotly anticipated. Prior leaks and rumours have hinted that the S25 FE will get an upgraded front camera and a refined main camera setup on the back, perfect for anyone who loves their social selfies or capturing crisp shots on the move. That said, we'll need to wait for more concrete details before knowing exactly what new tricks the cameras can of this 'Fan Edition' range will also be glad to see that Samsung appears to have carried over its trademark aesthetic — a clean, minimalist style with a neat arrangement of cameras. And while these renders don't give away every secret feature, they do include a 360-degree video that lets you explore the device from every angle. SammyGuru has uploaded this clip too, so tech-watchers can pore over every curve. Ultimately, the Galaxy S25 FE looks set to deliver exactly what its audience expects — a flagship-style phone with some premium perks, a refreshed look and an affordable price. Given Samsung's proven track record in the FE space, there's every reason to believe this will also be amongst the competitive mid-premium smartphones of the these renders reveal several details, we advise you to wait for an official notification. Until then, take these details with a pinch of salt.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak points to thinner bezels
TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the Galaxy S25 FE. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung may have upgraded the front camera to 12MP. In January, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra. The company then followed that up with the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge in May. Samsung could finish up the S25 series in the next few months by launching a Fan Edition, and we may have just gotten our first look at it. In collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, SamMobile has shared a few CAD renders of what's believed to be the Galaxy S25 FE. According to the outlet, the FE will come with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That display may offer a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, but that number hasn't been confirmed. We could also see the front camera upgraded from 10MP to 12MP. Additionally, the report mentions that we can expect the dimensions to be 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm. While there are no details about the price, the outlet speculates that the price could go up by $50. For reference, the Galaxy S24 FE launched with a price tag of $650. It's also unclear what chip will be sitting inside, but potential options could be an Exynos 2400 or a MediaTek Dimensity 9400. These renders also seem to suggest that the bezels will be thinner than last year. It's believed that Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 FE in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year. When the handset arrives, it should be running on One UI 8 out of the box. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs. Galaxy S25 FE: Thin premium phone takes on cheaper alternative
Samsung's Galaxy S25 lineup may have begun with the three new flagship phones introduced at the start of the year, but it's certainly not ending there. Already, the company has added a new Galaxy S25 Edge to the mix, and reports are that a fifth model — the Galaxy S25 FE — is coming this fall. That's why a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs. Galaxy S25 FE comparison is so vital. The two phones represent very different approaches on Samsung's part, with very different appeals. To find out which phone you should consider getting, it's best to compare what we already know about the Edge with what's expected from the less expensive FE. The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung's first stab at building a thinner premium phone that has more in common with its higher-end flagships. You'll find many key elements from the Galaxy S25 Ultra on the Edge — though there are some key omissions. But the Edge's biggest selling point is its thin, light profile. If the rumored Galaxy S25 FE is anything like past FE models, we're looking at a stripped-down version of Samsung's flagship phones, where a few features are sacrificed in the name of a lower overall price. Just what features could fall by the wayside is key to this Galaxy S25 Edge vs. Galaxy S25 FE face-off. Here's what we know so far. Galaxy S25 Edge Galaxy S25 FE (rumored) Display (refresh rate) 6.7 inches (120Hz) 6.7 inches (120Hz) Chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite Exynos 2400 RAM 12GB 8GB Storage 256GB, 512GB 128GB, 256GB Rear cameras 200MP main with 10x digital zoom, 12MP ultrawide 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 8MP teleph0to with 3x optical zoom Front cameras 12MP 12MP Battery 3,900 mAh 4,700 mAh The Galaxy S25 Edge is available now. You can buy the 256GB base model for $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,849. Upgrading to 512GB of storage brings the cost to $1,219. Galaxy S25 Edge deals can help you pick up the phone at a discount. We'll have to wait a bit longer for the Galaxy S25 FE, which is expected to arrive some time in the fall. For what it's worth, the Galaxy S24 FE shipped in October 2024, and most observers expect Samsung to repeat itself with the new release. Pricing details are still up in the air, but the S24 FE costs $649, which is $150 cheaper than the next model in the Galaxy S lineup, the $799 Galaxy S25. If Samsung holds the cost on the Galaxy S25 FE, that would mean you'd be able to buy that model for $450 less than the Galaxy S25 Edge — though the Edge features twice the storage in its base model. Regardless of what form the Galaxy S25 FE takes, it's a safe bet that it won't be as thin as the Galaxy S25 Edge. After all, a light, thin design is the calling card for this 5.8mm thin phone from Samsung. That said, there are reports that Samsung is looking to slim down the FE from the 162 x 77.3 x 8mm frame of the Galaxy S24 FE. That phone also weighed in at 7.51 ounces, decidedly heavier than the 5.75-ounce Galaxy S25 Edge. Part of the reason why the Edge is able to weigh so little is that Samsung uses a titanium frame for the phone, which also helps improve durability. Given the FE's mandate to keep costs down, you're unlikely to see the Galaxy S25 FE use anything other than the aluminum and glass materials featured on the current model. There could be one element in common between the Galaxy S25 Edge and the Galaxy S25 FE — the screen size. The Galaxy S25 Edge checks in with a 6.7-inch display, which matches the size of the panel on the S24 FE. Samsung isn't expected to change the screen size on the Galaxy S25 FE, which should also retain an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. The Edge figures to have the sharper resolution, though. One of the big selling points for past FE models has been the presence of a dedicated telephoto lens — something you don't typically see on phones that cost less than $700. The Galaxy S24 FE has one, even if the telephoto sensor isn't as sharp as the one on other flagship Samsung phones. Get used to the Galaxy S24 FE camera specs — a 50MP main shooter that's accompanied by 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto lenses. That's because Galaxy S25 FE camera rumors claim that Samsung isn't changing a thing for this year's FE. That said, the front camera on the Galaxy S25 FE could feature a 12MP sensor. That's an upgrade over the 10MP front camera that the S24 FE offers. Even if most of the cameras on the Galaxy S25 FE remain unchanged from its predecessor, it still holds an advantage over the Galaxy S25 Edge setup in one respect — there's no telephoto camera at all on the Edge. Instead, that phone relies on pixel-binning shots from the main camera. Even with a 200MP main sensor, the Edge would have a hard time keeping up with the 3x zoom that the S25 FE is likely to support, as we've seen when comparing zoom shots from the Edge with those from other phones. Of course, that 200MP camera on the Edge figures to be a lot more powerful than what the S25 FE offers. In our testing, the Galaxy S25 Edge's main camera produced detailed, colorful shots, even in less than ideal lighting. Like the other phones in the S25 lineup, the Galaxy S25 Edge uses an optimized Snapdragon 8 Elite system-on-chip. As a result, its CPU test speeds are in line with what we've seen from the rest of the S25 models, though GPU test numbers are a little bit behind what the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra produce. Still, the S25 Edge handles graphically intense games very well. Rumors about the Galaxy S25 FE's silicon are all over the map, and none are very encouraging. Some sources claim the new model will use the same Exynos 2400e chipset found in the Galaxy S24 FE, which would mean the updated version would lag behind the Galaxy S25 Edge in terms of performance. Subsequent rumors have suggested the Galaxy S25 FE could feature either a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 or Exynos 2400 chip. (The latter is more powerful than the 2400e.) Even with that extra boost from either silicon, Galaxy S25 FE performance would have a hard time measuring up to what you get from the S5 Edge. One area where the Galaxy S25 Edge came up short in our review centered around its battery life. The limited space inside the Edge means that Samsung has to use a smaller battery, and that impacts just how long the phone can last on a charge. When we put the Galaxy S25 Edge through out battery test — we have a fully charged phone surf the web over cellular until it conks out — the phone posted an average time of 12 hours and 24 minutes. That's about 2 hours better than the average phone does on our test, but it's 3 hours shy of the Galaxy S25's time. And remember, that phone is $300 cheaper than the Edge. So battery life would seem to be an area where the Galaxy S25 FE could outperform the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, the battery test results posted by the S24 FE suggest the new phone could have a hard time, especially if there's no upgrade over the 4,700 mAh battery inside last year's model. The Galaxy S24 FE's battery test result was an hour worse than what the Galaxy S25 Edge subsequently posted. That's probably a byproduct of a less power-efficient chip inside the FE. Unless the Galaxy S25 FE sees improvement in that area, we have a hard time imaging that the upcoming phone can outlast the Galaxy S25 Edge. Barring a changing in charging speeds, the Galaxy S25 FE should offer the same 25W wired support found on the Galaxy S25 Edge. FE models have traditionally offered wireless charging as well. By the time the Galaxy S25 FE arrives, it should come with One UI 8 based on Android 16 pre-installed. Samsung's already put out a One UI 8 beta for Galaxy S25 phones, including the Edge. Since the Galaxy S24 FE offered the same support for the Galaxy AI features found on the other S24 models, we're expecting the Galaxy S25 FE to take the same approach with the AI capabilities Samsung has built into the S25 lineup. That would give the FE a boost over the Edge, as you'd be able to experience the same AI capabilities for hundreds of dollars less. The Galaxy S25 FE should find itself on even ground with the S25 Edge in the area of software support, too. Samsung flagship phones get the same seven years of software and security updates — even if it's for an FE model. A Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs. Galaxy S25 FE comparison raises a rather intriguing question — do you opt for the unique design of the Edge or the lower price of the FE when deciding which new Samsung phone to buy? Certainly, the FE should offer some things the Edge can't, like a dedicated telephoto lens, while also matching the AI capabilities of the more expensive phone. But then, the Galaxy S25 Edge's performance is likely to be better than what you get from the FE, and the battery life could be better on Samsung's thinner phone, too. A lot of questions will be answered should the Galaxy S25 FE surface in the fall as expected. But if the Edge's $1,099 price is putting you off that thinner phone, remember that a cheaper Samsung flagship could be on the way.
