Processor and Performance Review
The Galaxy S25 FE is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2400 SoC, which is the full-fat version of the chip seen in the rest of the Galaxy S25 range, instead of the reduced version dubbed “2400e” in the Galaxy S24 FE.Galaxy S25 FE uses Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chipset, the full-fat version of the chipset found in the rest of the Galaxy S25 range, rather than the cut-down version known as “2400e” in the Galaxy S24 FE. This is a 10-core architecture consisting of one Cortex-X4 prime core clocked up to 3.2GHz, 6 Cortex-A720 performance cores and 4 Cortex-A520 efficiency cores, supported by a Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU.
Unlike the previous Galaxy S series, the S25 FE is based on an Exynos chip that is used worldwide, instead of region based Snapdragon and Exynos versions. The chip offers good CPU performance for everyday use, multitasking and casual gaming, but reviewers point out that its GPU and performance under sustained load is behind the Snapdragon-powered chips; while the chip’s clock speeds taper off during prolonged stress test scenarios, its 65% larger heatsink suggests it can sustain hotter temps. It also comes with 8GB of RAM in all storage variants, equipped with quick UFS 4.0 storage and lacks a microSD expansion port.

Samsung S25 FE Camera Performance Review
Galaxy S25 FE has a triple-camera setup on the back, which features a 50MP f/1.8 wide sensor with dual-pixel PDAF and optical image stabilisation, an 8MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation, and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor with a 123-degree field of view. The zoom camera, formerly located on the S24 FE, is now in the same position as the Galaxy S25+’s periscope camera, although the sensor resolution is lower than the Plus version.
The primary 50MP sensor is a sturdy, reliable shooter, especially in well-lit and outdoor settings, according to reviewers, but it has some aging problems when compared to the latest flagships in more challenging lighting. Of course, the rear camera is also 8K at 24/30fps, 4K to 120fps, and also features electronic stabilisation and HDR10+ with gyro assistance. In front, a new 12MP f/2.2 selfie camera could be an upgrade to the front sensor in the S24 FE, and will be used to shoot video calls and portraits, which are capable of up to 4K resolution.

Battery Life and Charging
A 4,900mAh battery powers the Galaxy S25 FE, a modest increase over the S24 FE’s cell and matching the capacity used in the Galaxy S25+. In GSMArena’s testing, the phone recorded an active-use score of just under 12 hours, and an EU-label endurance rating of roughly 42.5 hours across standby, calls, browsing and video playback.
It charges over USB Type-C at up to 45W wired (with Samsung reporting around 65% charge in 30 minutes with a compatible charger), and also supports 15W wireless charging that is Qi2-compatible, along with reverse wireless charging for accessories such as earbuds.

Samsung has committed to seven major Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates for the device, matching the support window offered on the standard Galaxy S25 series and making it one of the longer-supported phones in its price segment.
One UI 8 on the S25 FE includes Samsung’s usual customisation options such as Dark Mode, Digital Wellbeing, Secure Folder and edge-panel shortcuts, alongside privacy features like Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) and a Personal Data Engine that Samsung says keeps AI-related user data processed and stored on-device, secured through Knox Vault.

The phone has NFC support and is USB-Type-C 3.2 with OTG support, but lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio.
It also features an under-display optical fingerprint sensor for security and orientation, and an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and barometer for orientation, security, and stability while playing. Samsung DeX and Wireless DeX are also supported, offering a desktop-like experience when connected to an external display.

AI Features
The Galaxy S25 FE features Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite, which is based on the successful Galaxy S25 series. This encompasses Circle to Search, which allows users to search on-screen content; a Now Bar / Now Brief feature that displays relevant daily information on the lock screen; an Audio Eraser tool for eliminating audio background noise from videos; and a Generative Edit tool for editing away backgrounds and objects in photos.
It also includes Google’s Gemini Live as an assistant that enhances the voice interaction with the screen and improves responsiveness to what’s on screen or in the camera, all of which One UI 8 brings to the table. For the camera, on-device scene recognition is said to be able to automatically adjust the colour and exposure of images of food, landscapes and portraits; Samsung claims that its Personal Data Engine ensures most of the processing of AI personalisation stays on-device instead of in the cloud.
Audio and Multimedia Experience
The Galaxy S25 FE pairs its 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display — rated for 120Hz refresh, HDR10+ playback and up to 1900 nits of peak brightness — with a set of stereo speakers, where the bottom-firing speaker is joined by the earpiece acting as a second channel. GSMArena’s lab testing rated the speaker loudness as “very good.”
There is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired listening requires a USB-C or Bluetooth 5.4 connection; the display itself supports Android’s Ultra HDR standard for punchier photo playback in the default gallery app.

Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE comes with all the hallmarks of Samsung’s flagship approach: an impressive-looking build and display, high refresh rate AMOLED screen, a very capable triple-camera setup, and software support. It’s an Exynos 2400-powered phone with larger 4,900mAh battery, 45W charging speed, and better selfie camera, which is noticeably better than its predecessor S24 FE in most aspects, even if the Exynos GPU is not as powerful as Snapdragon-based phones in sustained gaming. The Galaxy S25 FE is a reasonable choice for buyers looking to prioritize display, camera, and build quality over raw gaming specs in the mid-range segment, as it will likely offer up years of software updates.
