The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is readying to launch with the flagship Galaxy S25 line this year. While Samsung is yet to info anything officially, new 5K renders shared by OnLeaks through SammyGuru have provided us a closer look at what the phone looks like. While the leaked design and initial specs hint that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is going to be a big upgrade over its predecessor, design-wise and in terms of performance.
Galaxy S25 FE to Arrive with Thinner Form Factor
According to these high-definition renders, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE looks to take the same contemporary design language as the Galaxy S25. The thing has flat sides, a nice flat frame, and some awfully skinny bezels. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE also features a triple-camera array on the back, like the Galaxy S25, which consists of three separate lenses arranged vertically.
In terms of size, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could come in at 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm. That’s thinner than the Galaxy S24 FE’s 8mm thickness, but a tad thicker than the 7.2mm Galaxy S25. Samsung is definitely working on slimming down the build to make the Galaxy S25 FE slimmer and more ergonomic to hold.
Improved Display for More Immersive Viewing
Rumours claim that the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE would have a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display having a 120Hz of refresh rate. That is the size and refresh rate as the Galaxy S24 FE, but Samsung could reportedly increase the peak brightness from 1,900 nits to an eye-watering 2,600 nits. This upgrade would mean the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is a lot more readable in direct sunlight and perfect for watching HDR content on the move.
Expectations and Performance Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE was previously rumored to arrive with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. But a recent Geekbench listing associated with the model implies that Samsung may instead opt for its own Exynos 2400 processor – the same SoC that powers the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 FE. This potential shift indicates performance continuity, but with increased emphasis on thermal considerations and efficiency.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is also said to sport a 12MP selfie sensor, up from the 10MP snapper on the S24 FE. This may not sound like much, but it is completely in-line with what I’ve been told by sources who believe Samsung has big camera plans for the new device and want to talk about them.
Software and Launch Timeline
The Galaxy S25 FE is likely to come running Android 16 out of the box with Samsung’s One UI 8 skin on top. That would pair well with the company’s typical schedule for its flagship and FE lineups of disseminating major Android updates.
If Samsung follows its usual calendar — and there’s no clear reason it wouldn’t — then the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will launch in October, same as the Galaxy S24 FE. The phone is also tipped to be launch in India alongside its global debut.
What to Look for in the Galaxy S25 FE:
- Galaxy S24 FE: Slimmer screen profile than the Galaxy S24 FE
- 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate
- Possible Exynos 2400 chipset
- Highest ever peak brightness at 2600 nits on a mobile smartphone for better viewing under direct sunlight.
- Triple rear cameras; 12MP front camera
- Android 16 with One UI 8
- Expected October 2025 launch
Summary
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is seemingly building on its predecessor with a thinner design, brighter screen, and possibly even better selfie shooting. And if leaks are to be believed, it’ll also be not too shabby with the Exynos 2400 chip beneath the hood and Android 16 out of the box. Just like always, we’re sure fans of Samsung will be curious to find out what other surprises are in store at the big reveal, which is expected to take place this October.
