Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Vs Galaxy S24 FE Vs Galaxy S23 FE Vs S21 FE: Samsung’s Galaxy S Fan Edition (FE) series has always been famous for offering flagship features at a pocket-friendly price. With each new generation, Samsung has refined the formula further, and so far we are seeing the journey from S21 FE to S25 FE. So let’s understand in a little detail what’s new and improved in each model.

Trends and Changes

The evolution of the FE series has been quite interesting. The most noticeable things are: processors have gradually become more powerful and efficient, batteries have a slightly increased capacity and wired charging speed has jumped a lot. Software support has become quite strong – now FE models offer flagship S-series level updates. There is a continuous improvement in the brightness and durability of the display, and finally, there is the introduction of Galaxy AI features, which were not there in the older models.

Performance and Processor Evolution

The S21 FE had the Exynos 2100 or Snapdragon 888 chip, which was based on 5nm architecture. The S23 FE got a major upgrade with the Exynos 2200 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which was quite noticeable for performance and gaming. The S24 FE got a refinement with the Exynos 2400e, and the S25 FE got a full-fledged Exynos 2400 (4nm) upgrade to the processor. This latest processor provides an extremely smooth experience in gaming, video editing and heavy multitasking.

Display and Design

The S21 FE and S23 FE had a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which offered a 120Hz refresh rate, but the brightness was a bit low. The display in the S24 FE became 6.7-inch and the peak brightness was boosted to 1900 nits, which is quite helpful in outdoor sunlight. The S25 FE maintained this brightness and improved overall display refinement and durability. There are also incremental improvements in design, such as Gorilla Glass Victus+ front and back and IP68 rating, which give the FE series a premium feel.

Camera 

There was a big jump in terms of camera from S21 FE to S23 FE. The main sensor has been upgraded from 12MP to 50MP, which brings major improvements in detail and low-light photography. Ultrawide and telephoto lenses remain consistent across generations. The S24 FE and S25 FE have received camera refinement and front camera upgrades, which improve selfies and video calling experience. The FE series also sees improvements in photo processing and video editing with the integration of Galaxy AI.

Battery and Charging

Battery capacity has gradually increased – 4500mAh in S21 FE and S23 FE, 4700mAh in S24 FE, and 4900mAh in the latest S25 FE. This incremental increase is quite helpful for long gaming sessions and heavy usage. The biggest change is in wired charging – the S21 FE and S24 FE had 25W charging, but the S25 FE has now moved to 45W fast charging, which is extremely convenient.

Software and AI

Software support is also a major highlight. The S21 FE got 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, but the S24 FE and S25 FE are offering 7 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches, which is quite impressive. Galaxy AI features, such as Circle to Search and Live Translate, were introduced with the S24 FE and give a more refined and smooth experience in the S25 FE.

Final Verdict

Bhai log, the evolution of FE series is quite clear – from S21 FE to S23 FE, there has been a major upgrade in camera and performance. From S23 FE to S24 FE, there has been refinement, display improvement and a boost in software support with Galaxy AI. And finally, from S24 FE to S25 FE, there has been a noticeable improvement in performance, battery and especially wired charging speed.
