Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Could Get A Big Upgrade That People Will Like: What We Know
Last Updated:
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could have more interest if the company decides to make an important change in its hardware.
After launching the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE last year, the brand is apparently working on its upgraded version which should be called the Galaxy S25 FE. Most reports have claimed that Samsung will power the device with an Exynos chipset once again, but latest updates are offering some positive changes that will excite people.
According to a recent report, Samsung might switch to a MediaTek SoC if it is not able to manufacture enough units of Exynos 2400e chipset for the Galaxy S25 FE. This means we could actually see the Galaxy S25 FE launch with a MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 chipset, which should be more powerful than the Exynos chip.
Having said that, Samsung would ideally prefer to go with its in-house Exynos 2400e version that will make it easy to keep the product cost lower. And the Dimensity 9400 is likely to work out as a backup in case its original plan does not come through.
Samsung does have enough resources to manage producing enough units on the Exynos chip but it seems the company is also likely to use the same SoC for the supposed Flip FE model.
So, it might be challenging for the brand to have units needed for both the devices, forcing Samsung to consider looking outside to support its product roadmap later this year.
The Dimensity 9400 SoC has shown its flagship-like traits and won't be the worst option for Samsung to power the next FE model.
As for the features, the upcoming Fan Edition model should be offered with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage. It is likely to have a triple camera setup with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens. For selfies, it may use a 12MP front-facing camera.

Oppo Pad SE launching on July 3 alongside the Reno 14 5G series
Oppo is set to launch its Pad SE tablet in India on July 3, coinciding with the release of the Oppo Reno 14 5G series. The company announced the tablet's key features and colour options ahead of the event. The Indian variant is likely to closely match the specifications of the global model introduced in May. The Oppo Pad SE features an 11-inch LCD Eye-Care display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a brightness level reaching up to 500 nits. The screen holds TÜV Rheinland certifications for Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free performance, which aims to reduce eye strain. The device houses a 9,340mAh battery with 33W SuperVOOC fast charging support. The tablet also includes a 'Smart Power Saving Mode' that switches off the tablet automatically after seven days of inactivity, which extends standby time up to 800 days, claims the company. Oppo also states that the tablet holds a 36-month Fluency Protection certification for consistent performance. Under the hood, the Oppo Pad SE is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity G100 processor and runs on Android 15-based ColorOS 15.0.1. It comes equipped with a 5MP camera on both the front and back. For connectivity, the tablet includes Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi, and a USB Type-C port. The tablet will be available in two colour options in India: Starlight Silver and Twilight Blue, both featuring a dual-tone finish. The price and other details have not been revealed yet. For context, the Oppo Pad SE sells in China with three variants: 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant at CNY 899 (roughly Rs. 11,000), 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant at CNY 1,099 (roughly Rs. 13,000), and 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant at CNY 1,299 (roughly Rs. 15,500). Indian consumers can expect similar options when the tablet becomes available.

Project Moohan – The Android alternative to Apple's Vision Pro
Samsung, Google and Qualcomm have all come together to launch Android's response to Apple's Vision Pro. 'Project Moohan' is the code name given to Samsung's extended reality (XR) headset. Moohan means infinity in Korean, and it reflects Samsung's ambition to deliver limitless immersive experiences within the XR space. With this offering, Samsung intends to join the same space as Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Quest 3. While there are many VR headsets, they are not quite in the same league as Vision Pro or Quest 3. The Samsung Moohan headset will be the first Android XR headset to launch in the market. The headset's design bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Vision Pro.(Samsung) The headset's design bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Vision Pro — and to be fair, if you're going to take inspiration, Apple's design is a strong place to start. There are, however, some key differences. For instance, unlike the Vision Pro, Moohan doesn't display the user's eyes externally. Its battery cable is compatible with any external power bank, offering more flexibility. While the Vision Pro relies heavily on eye tracking for control — alongside hand, touch, and peripheral inputs — Moohan leans into voice control as its primary interface, thanks to its deep integration with Gemini. Still, it retains support for eyes, hands, and peripherals, much like Apple's Moohan also features a touchpad on the right strap for added input. Its design prioritizes balanced weight distribution, with an adjustment knob at the back to customize the fit. Both the top and bottom light seals are detachable and optional, allowing users to remain more connected to their physical surroundings if desired. The main components include a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor, a chip specifically optimised for extended reality that boasts a 20% higher CPU and 15% higher GPU frequency compared to its predecessor, enabling smoother performance and richer graphics. Visuals are delivered through high-resolution 4K micro-OLED panels which are rumoured to be supplied by Sony. Qualcomm is working with Google to extend the platform and hence we can expect many more OEM partners like Lynx, Sony and XREAL to develop Android XR based devices. This device is the first to be built on the Android XR platform, a special OS by Google for extended reality (XR) with AI as its centerpiece. This implies compatibility with Google Playstore is a given. Apart from this there are special Spatial apps that can be used on the Moohan tailored for the Mixed reality experience. Both Samsung and Google are not new to the XR/VR space. Samsung's early Gear VR initiative, launched in 2014, played a key role in bringing mobile VR to the hands of consumers, offering valuable insights into both hardware and content. Around the same time, Google experimented with VR through Cardboard and Daydream, before ultimately shifting focus to smartphone-based AR with ARCore and phasing out Daydream. These initiatives have paved the way for the more ambitious Project Moohan and combines Samsung's evolved hardware with Google's Android XR platform and Gemini AI, aiming to deliver a truly unified and immersive mixed reality experience. The AI Edge Though the form factor and the hardware may look similar, what would likely set this device apart is Gemini integration. Gemini can now see & hear the real world through the cameras and the mics in the headset. This enables the user to ask contextual queries about what the user is seeing or hearing in the real world. Gemini can even carry on a conversation with the user. It remains to be seen what kind of a memory Gemini will be endowed with. Google claims Gemini can understand your intent, help you plan, research topics and guide you through various tasks. Gemini can be accessed through the headset at any point with a dedicated button or a hand gesture which will enable a multimodal conversational experience through the headset. Imagine a scenario where you have your AI-based personal fitness trainer on your Moohan, gaming with your friends across the globe, learning to drive in a safe setting. This form factor is suited for use within a relaxed home or office environment. Productivity and entertainment applications will likely shine on the Moohan given the level of immersion and capabilities. For portable applications, AR/AI Glasses will be more suitable like we have seen on the Meta Rayban. After some delays, the release of the product has been pushed to late 2025 and will be first targeted at developers building for the Android XR platform. While the Apple vision pro costs $3499, and the Meta Quest 3 starts at $499, it will be interesting to see at what price Samsung positions Moohan, as it is marketed as a premium product with AI features. It is expected to cost somewhere between the two and the resultant lower price point should enable more people to have access to the device. Authored by: Varun Krishnan
