Samsung Galaxy S25 FE: 27 grammes lighter and larger battery

Samsung has only made a few changes to the Galaxy S25 FE, making it slightly slimmer and thinner. More relevant, however, is the faster charging speed.

Samsung completes its S25 series with the nominally cheapest model. The Galaxy S25 FE only has a few new features compared to its predecessor. But even these details make it a better device.

Slim, thinner and lighter

Samsung has made the Galaxy S25 FE smaller in all three dimensions. At 161.3 × 76.6 × 7.4 millimetres, it is 0.7 × 0.6 × 0.6 millimetres smaller than its predecessor. The weight is reduced from 217 to 190 grammes. The display remains the same size at 6.7 inches. This also applies to the resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels, the refresh rate of 120 hertz and the peak brightness of 1900 nits.

Samsung uses Armor Aluminium 2 for the frame, as with the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. The back and front are covered with Gorilla Glass Victus+ and the entire housing has been awarded IP68 certification. This means it is dustproof and has withstood 30 minutes in 1.5 metres of water.

New image sensor

Samsung has left the camera setup almost unchanged. A new image processor should nevertheless ensure that the cameras have better image quality. The three cameras on the back are still a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and an eight-megapixel telephoto camera with triple zoom. Samsung has increased the resolution of the front camera by two to twelve megapixels.

Known chipset and faster charging battery

Seven years of updates and lots of AI

Samsung delivers the Galaxy S25 FE with Android 16 and the One UI 8 user interface. The smartphone will receive seven Android updates and seven years of security updates.

The Galaxy S25 FE has access to all Galaxy AI functions. This means it can edit or create images with the help of AI. Translation tools, text suggestions, an audio eraser and automatic trimming of highlight clips from longer videos are also part of the AI offering.

Price and availability

128 GB storage capacity

256 GB storage capacity

In Switzerland, free in-ear headphones are included with the Galaxy S25 FE until October

As a primary school pupil, I used to sit in a friend's living room with many of my classmates to play the Super NES. Now I get my hands on the latest technology and test it for you. In recent years at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, now at Digitec and Galaxus.
