Samsung Galaxy S25 FE debuts as affordable AI-powered flagship

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE at IFA Berlin on September 4, positioning it as a cheaper member of the S25 family that brings flagship design and Samsung’s full Galaxy AI suite to a lower price tier. The 6.7 inch phone ships with an Exynos 2400 processor, 8GB of RAM, up to 512GB storage, a 4,900mAh battery and a triple rear camera array, and is now available in many markets with regional pricing and launch discounts that make it markedly cheaper than Samsung’s standard S25 models.

On paper the S25 FE borrows heavily from its pricier siblings. It features a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh, a reported peak brightness around 1,900 nits, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on front and back and an aluminum frame Samsung calls Enhanced Armor. The phone measures about 7.4mm thick and weighs roughly 190g, making it thinner and lighter than some competitors. Samsung also promises extended software support and has integrated Galaxy AI tools across the interface, including on-device transcription, translation, generative photo and audio edits, and realtime assistance powered by Gemini.
