Samsung Galaxy S25 FE in for review

05 September 2025
On paper, it's the same phone, but in the hand, it feels different.

pl2rts, 06 Sep 2025Why not give USB-A to USB-C cable with the phone when they ... moreThis may have been true when they initially removed the charger back in 2021, but the vast majority of chargers currently either have more C ports than A ports or no A ports at all (my current one is like this), and a lot of the multiport chargers I've seen people actually own are fairly recent. An A-C cable isn't useful in that scenario, and also doesn't support the 45W fast charging of this device.

Currently looking at pricing where I live the S25+ is about 100 more than the FE as it's on discount at some retailers, though I suspect the FE will also go on discount very quickly and also have a good amount of carrier deals, so it'll probably work out cheaper than it currently appears.

    It's not 25W wireless charging according to their own website, and would be weird if it was because no Samsung has gone above 15W wireless. 45W wired is a pretty significant improvement over the 25W of the last phone though, which is probably far more relevant than wireless charging speed if a quick top up is needed anyway.

        GSMARENA, please rectify some mistakes in specifications. Firstly the charging speed is up from 25watt wired to 45watt wired. It has changed, unlike you mention "unchanged". And wireless charge is 15watt Qi on both S24 fe and S25 fe. It's NOT 25watt!!! Change both here and in specs

              Anonymous, 05 Sep 2025Why didn't they put Exynos 2500 in this? They don't want you to buy it, they want you to buy it S25 other members.

                S10 came with 8GB of RAM in 2019, yet I'm late 2025 Samsung producing flagship phones with 8GB of RAM, pathetic.

                        samsung is awarding ,,fans" with thick bezels,rigid oled screen,abysmal battery and hey!-8mp telephoto from the original FE

                          rizki1, 05 Sep 2025Pixel 10 or S25 FE choose one..Both are good phones. The Samsung should offer better battery life though which is a big plus as neither offer very fast charging. Samsung haven't updated the cameras since the S23 FE which is a bummer but Google has downgraded the cameras in the Pixel 10 so it evens out.

                          Both offer very good software support but the Pixel is obviously ahead. And lastly the S25FE while having a last gen chipset is still faster than the Pixel in raw performance.

                            ChiranjitB, 05 Sep 2025I'm not interested in samsung mobile.becouse of irrita... moreThat's down to personal preference. I love Samsung phones but others would not. It's a well selling device so a lot of people definitely do like them

                              Please do side by side comparison with pixel 10 as they both compete in same segment

                                So, why is this lighter than before, still a mystery? I'm also wondering why the S25U is lighter than the S24U.

They've been around for a long time. If you buy a phone for 800-ish bucks, you will have a USB-C charger, or it is definitely high time to get one.

                                    Samsung used to bundle USB cables with USB-A/C adapters. That was a long time ago.

                                      GSMArena, you should post just IDEM and a link to S25 FE

                                        Why not give USB-A to USB-C cable with the phone when they dont have charger in the box ? For the reason to not make e-waste so use your old charger but the old charger have USB-A port

                                        USB-A port chargers are still fairly new thing while they stopped adding charger in the box with USB-A port chargers

                                        Also it's probably better to go with S25+ over this one that is probably cheaper or with same price but at least is with SD 8 Elite that has better performance. Even tough that dont much matter is it 1.77 million points in antutu with that 2400 or 2.1 million with 8 elite
