The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to run Android 16-based One UI 8 software out of the box, offering potential efficiency gains and improved computational photography enhancements [1]. It will also feature a more powerful Exynos 2400 processor, a slight upgrade from the Exynos 2400e chip in the S24 FE [2].
In terms of battery and charging, the S25 FE is set to offer significant improvements. It will likely come with a larger 4,900 mAh battery, providing about 200 mAh more capacity than its predecessor for longer battery life [2][4]. Charging speeds are also expected to improve, with 45W wired charging support on the S25 FE, a marked upgrade from the 25W wired charging of the S24 FE [1][2].
The device is also rumoured to retain 15W wireless charging and the ability to juice up other devices using reverse wireless power share [1]. The build quality of the Galaxy S25 FE is hoped to be improved compared to the S24 FE [1]. For added durability, Gorilla Glass Victus is expected to protect the device [1].
The design and display of the S25 FE are expected to remain similar to its predecessor, with a 6.7-inch OLED screen featuring a 120Hz refresh rate [1][2]. The front camera is reported to have a more powerful 12-megapixel sensor [2].
The imaging department of the Galaxy S25 FE will likely offer a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel sensor for ultrawide capture, and a 10-megapixel sensor for long-range photography [2]. The device is also rumoured to be IP68-certified for dust and water resistance [1].
No official announcement regarding the Galaxy S25 FE has been made yet, but based on past launch history, it is expected to arrive in the coming weeks [1]. If the price remains unchanged, the S25 FE will have no trouble outshining the iPhone 16e at a $50 premium [1].
In conclusion, the Galaxy S25 FE focuses on incremental upgrades in battery, charging, and software refinements while maintaining a similar design and display as its predecessor. It's shaping up to be a compelling choice for those seeking a high-performance smartphone without breaking the bank.
