Galaxy S25 FE: Thinner Design, Smaller Battery, Faster Charging

The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 50MP rear camera, and Exynos 2400 chipset. The front-facing camera will be a 12MP sensor, and the device will have 8GB of RAM. The battery capacity will be reduced to 4,500 mAh, but charging will be upgraded to 45W. The device will also have a thinner profile and be lighter at 190g. The Galaxy S25 FE is likely to be released in August or September.

Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition (FE) earlier than anticipated, potentially in late August or early September. This move comes after the company's VP of Mobile Experience division, Daniel Araujo, confirmed the earlier release during Samsung's Q2 2025 earnings call [1].

The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to retain the design language of its predecessor but with a more premium feel, thanks to the shift to Armor Aluminium construction [2]. The device is tipped to be slimmer and lighter, measuring 7.4mm in thickness and weighing 190g, down from 8.0mm and 213g in the Galaxy S24 FE [2].

In terms of specifications, the Galaxy S25 FE will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection [2]. It will be powered by Samsung's Exynos 2400 processor and come with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage [2]. The smartphone is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens [2]. The front-facing camera is likely to be a 12MP unit with autofocus [2].

The battery capacity of the Galaxy S25 FE has been reduced to 4,500mAh from 4,700mAh in the Galaxy S24 FE, but charging has been upgraded to 45W wired and 15W wireless [2]. The device will also have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance [2].

Samsung's early launch of the Galaxy S25 FE could be a strategic move to boost sales during the crucial holiday quarter and capture more attention with its marketing efforts [1]. Additionally, releasing the Galaxy S25 FE early will give the company's marketing team enough room to ensure all products get their due spotlight, including the upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and the first tri-folding device [1].
