Samsung is reportedly planning to reveal its next Fan Edition phone, the Galaxy S25 FE, significantly earlier than usual. Industry sources indicate the device is expected to launch in South Korea on September 19, 2025, with a global rollout likely following shortly after.
Launch Timing & Strategy
This marks a proactive shift from Samsung, with the Galaxy S24 FE having launched much later in the year. The earlier schedule may be intended to maintain the Galaxy S25 series’ momentum and potentially align with major tech events in September.
Spec Highlights & Design Changes
While the design will remain familiar, the S25 FE is expected to be slimmer and lighter—around 7.4 mm thick and 190 g in weight, compared to the S24 FE’s 8 mm and 213 g.
Expected features include:
- 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of around 2,600 nits, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2
- Exynos 2400 processor with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB storage options
- Triple rear cameras: 50 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide, 8 MP telephoto with 3× zoom
- 12 MP front camera
- 4,500–4,900 mAh battery with 45 W wired and 15 W wireless charging (rumored)
- One UI 8 based on Android 16 with seven years of software updates
Market Positioning & Pricing
The S25 FE is expected to be priced under KRW 1 million (approximately USD 720), aiming to deliver near-flagship performance at a more affordable cost.
