Design and Display: Thin But Charming
Galaxy S25 FE boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, silky-smooth 120Hz refresh screen, and up to 1900 nits peak color brightness for colors that come alive and leap out in the sunlight. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. It’s housed in a 7.4mm slender body that weighs only 190 grams. The phone features a glass rear and an Armor Aluminum structure that both offer resilience as well as that high-end touch. It is also IP68 rated, so it is dust-proof and can handle one meter of water for 30 minutes.
Performance and Battery: Power That Lasts
Internally, the Galaxy S25 FE runs on the Exynos 2400 chip with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. One of the biggest upgrades from its counterpart is its 4,900mAh battery, a step up from the S24 FE’s battery at 4,700mAh. It features 45W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging, which is perfect for users who always seem to be in need of a power boost. This setup provides more extended screen usage without constant recharging, even for those who heavily use their devices.
Software and AI Features: Future-Proof Support
The phone comes with Android 16 and One UI 8, which loads up on Samsung’s newest Galaxy AI features like Gemini Live, Now Bar, Circle to Search, and Generative Edit. Samsung, in a sweeping gesture, has brought the S25 FE to parity with its flagship lineup by committing to seven years of OS updates and security patches. It is hence among the longest-updated phones on the market, offering long-term stability to users.
Camera System: Comfortable but Capable
The camera setup at the back is the same as the S24 FE with a 50MP primary sensor, 12MP ultra-wide-angle, and an 8MP telephoto with 3x zoom. Samsung has also enhanced the front selfie camera to a 12MP sensor for better video calls and selfies as well. Not a whole new thing, but the new features make it a reliable camera system for regular photography.
Pricing and Availability: Competitive Offers
Galaxy S25 FE would come in Navy, Jetblack, and White color options. The prices would begin at ₹59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB, ₹65,999 for the 8GB + 256GB, and ₹77,999 for the 8GB + 512GB model. It would go on sale from September 29 on Samsung.com, Exclusive Stores, major online websites, and retail stores. Even the buyers get launch benefits such as a ₹12,000 storage offer, ₹5,000 bank cashback, and up to 24 months of EMI-free.
Verdict: A Solid Mid-Premium Choice
Its lightweight, solid hardware, and long software support make the Galaxy S25 FE an incredible value for users who desire flagships without flagship prices. Although its cameras fall short of the Galaxy S25, AI aspects, sufficient battery life, and long updates overall make it among the most cutting-edge phones in its class.
