Samsung Galaxy S25 FE camera: All you need to know
Although Samsung has released all kinds of Galaxy phones so far this year, it's far from over for the largest Android manufacturer out there, as another Galaxy S25 version is reportedly scheduled to arrive later this year (possibly in October). That's right, the Galaxy S25 FE is likely coming sometime around October with a design that's very closely following the Galaxy S25 and pretty much the same hardware as the mid-sized flagship phone. The Galaxy S25 FE will be thinner and lighter in contrast with the Galaxy S24 FE, with an Armor Aluminum build, the Exynos 2400 chipset, a larger battery with faster charging, and finally, a 6.7-inchFHD+ display with a 1-120 Hz refresh rate. Overall, this phone shapes up to be a very decent successor to the Galaxy S24 FE , but it remains to be seen if all these rumored changes will turn out to be real. Apparently, the Galaxy S25 FE will come with the same camera system as the Galaxy S24 FE . This means that we will likely get a 50MP main camera with an F1.8 aperture, an 8MP telephoto with 3X optical zoom, and finally a 12MP ultrawide camera. No hardware changes in the main camera system, as far as we can see. The only change that's hinted to be coming to the Galaxy S25 FE is a new 12MP selfie camera, a slight upgrade from the 10MP one on the Galaxy S24 FE . This 12MP selfie camera will most certainly turn out to be the same one that's currently making the rounds on the rest of the Galaxy S25 range, so we expect it to be an autofocusing one. Here's how the Galaxy S25 FE will likely stack up against the Galaxy S24 FE if we take all these rumors into account. These days, software plays an equal, if not a bigger part inimage processingg than hardware. Time and time again, Samsung has revealed that it can greatly shake up the image processing and therefore the image quality between two phone generations that come with basically the same hardware at the back. This makes us think that even though the Galaxy S25 FE will carry the same rear cameras as its predecessor, it might take drastically different photos and videos. Remains to be seen what direction will be taken with this upcoming phone. Galaxy S24 FE camera spider chart (Image by PhoneArena) The few proverbial flies in the ointment were the slight oversharpening with the telephoto camera and the inconsistent color science, which sometimes delivered too oversaturated colors. Video quality had room for improvement, too. All of those issues sound like they can be fixed with software and algorithm optimizations, as the hardware on board will definitely have the same potential as the Galaxy S24 FE . Overall, we are pretty optimistic about the Galaxy S25 FE's potential performance in our custom camera test, where it might perform just as well as the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup.

Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S23 FE: Is it finally worth upgrading your Fan Edition?
Samsung's Fan Edition series has always been about offering flagship-level features at a lower price, and the Galaxy S23 FE hit that sweet spot in 2023. It had its excellent display, well-rounded camera system, and solid performance. The S23 FE proved to be one of the most well-balanced FE models yet. But now, the Galaxy S25 FE is on the horizon, and it's aiming to raise the Galaxy S25 FE is expected to bring a larger battery, faster charging, and more RAM, while refining what made the S23 FE so great. A switch to the Exynos 2400 chip could mean better sustained performance, and we're also expecting a significant jump in screen brightness. But is that enough to justify an upgrade? In this comparison, we'll break down the expected differences in design, display, performance, camera, battery, and software, so you can decide whether the S25 FE is worth the wait, or if the S23 FE still holds its ground. Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S23 FE expected differences: *rumored/expected Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary From the outside, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected to closely follow Samsung's updated design language, but with a thinner and lighter build compared to the S23 FE. The S23 FE had a slightly smaller footprint, but it also had a much smaller display than what we expect to see on the S25 FE. The S23 FE also weighed around 209 grams, and featured sharp edges that some users found uncomfortable. The S25 FE is rumored to slim down to 7.4mm in thickness and 190 grams in weight, which should significantly improve ergonomics. Materials are expected to remain high-end. The S23 FE used Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides, while the S25 FE is expected to match the Gorilla Glass Victus+ and aluminum frame combo seen on the S24 FE. Both phones are IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. *rumored/expected The S23 FE came in vibrant finishes like Purple, Mint, and Cream. Color options for the S25 FE haven't been confirmed yet, but we expect a similar variety. And as usual, we don't expect the new model to have a charger in the box — just like the S23 FE. Display Differences Samsung's Fan Edition phones are known for having great screens, and the S23 FE nailed it with a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel, HDR10+ support, and 120Hz refresh rate. But the S25 FE will inherit the larger 6.7-inch display from last year's model, and it will get a huge jump in peak brightness — from 1450 nits on the S23 FE to 2600 nits on the S25 FE. *rumored/expected In our review, the S23 FE's display impressed us with its color accuracy and contrast, though it fell a bit short in peak brightness compared to its S23 siblings. The S25 FE could improve outdoor visibility significantly, especially in harsh sunlight. Biometrics remain unchanged: both phones offer a fast in-display fingerprint scanner and a basic face unlock system for convenience (but not for security-critical use). The Galaxy S23 FE shipped with either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Exynos 2200, depending on the region. In our testing, the Exynos version delivered solid day-to-day performance, though it lagged behind the S23 flagship series in benchmarks. Gaming and multitasking were generally smooth, but thermal throttling could occur under extended S25 FE, on the other hand, is expected to debut with the Exynos 2400 — the same chip found in the Galaxy S24 series, offering improved sustained performance and better efficiency. RAM is also expected to increase from 8 GB to 12 GB. *rumored/expected The S25 FE will likely ship with Android 16 and One UI 7, and benefit from Samsung's new 7-year software support policy. That's a step up from the S23 FE, which launched with Android 13 and is only guaranteed four OS updates. Expect Galaxy AI on both phones, but a more refined experience on the S25 FE. While the S23 FE handles AI tasks like object erasing and edit suggestions well, features like Note Assist and Generative Edit may work better — or faster — with the newer hardware. Samsung is expected to reuse the same camera system on the S25 FE as it did on the S23 FE. That means a 50 MP main camera, 12 MP ultra-wide, and an 8 MP 3x telephoto lens. Only the selfie camera will be upgraded from 10 MP to 12 MP. *rumored/expected That may sound underwhelming, but the S23 FE already had one of the best camera systems in its price range. In our review, we praised the main camera's daylight and low-light performance, while the telephoto lens delivered surprisingly good results at 3x zoom. The ultra-wide camera was decent, though some HDR inconsistencies were quality was generally good, especially from the main camera, but secondary sensors struggled in low-light footage. Stabilization and transitions were smooth, however, and should carry over to the S25 FE. If Samsung improves processing — particularly HDR and skin tones — the S25 FE could squeeze more quality from the same sensors. The Galaxy S23 FE came with a 4,500 mAh battery, which delivered great results in our tests: over 16 hours of web browsing, 8 hours of video playback, and nearly 9 hours of gaming. However, charging was limited to 25W wired and 15W wireless, with a full charge taking a little over an hour. The S25 FE is expected to raise battery capacity to 4,900 mAh and support 45W wired charging. That would put it much closer to the S25+ in terms of battery capacity and charging speed, and could cut charging times significantly. *rumored/expected Wireless charging support remains unchanged between the two. But given the larger battery, the S25 FE will probably take more time to charge wirelessly. A quick overview of the expected Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S23 FE specs: *rumored/expected The Galaxy S25 FE doesn't radically reinvent the Fan Edition series, but it refines it in meaningful ways. The jump to a brighter display, more efficient and poweful processor, bigger battery, and faster charging should all add up to a smoother daily experience. And with 12 GB of RAM and seven years of software support, the S25 FE feels more future-proof. That said, the Galaxy S23 FE still holds its own. It shares the same great camera hardware, smooth display, and flagship-grade build quality. Not to mention that you can probably find it at an excellent price right now — be it refurbished or second hand. If you already own the S23 FE, you likely don't need to upgrade unless the battery and performance boosts matter to you. But if you're buying new, the S25 FE looks like the smarter long-term choice — assuming Samsung keeps the price between $600-$700. Stay tuned for our full tests and final verdict once we get the Galaxy S25 FE in hand.

Leak: Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to have an LTPO display and a bigger battery with 45W charging
There is still no word on when Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S25 FE, but leaks have painted a fairly complete picture – the new FE will be a mix of flagship and some not-so-high-end features. It will have largely the same design as last year, though a switch to Armor Aluminum will enable a slimmer and lighter design – 7.4mm thick and weighing 190g, compared to 8.0mm and 213g on last year's model. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will get some premium features like an LTPO panel for its 6.7' display with a variable refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz. It will still be a 1080p+ panel with Gorilla Glass Victus+, though, unlike the S25+, which has a 6.7' 1440p+ display with Victus 2. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, photo by WPC The new FE will get a 200mAh bump in battery capacity for a total of 4,900mAh. More importantly, it will gain support for 45W charging, which is gradually spreading to new Galaxy models (though many are still on 25W). Wireless charging is not explicitly mentioned, so it should be the standard 15W that premium Samsungs usually get. Interestingly, Samsung will use the Exynos 2400 chipset for the S25 FE – not the 2400e that we saw on the S24 FE. It's basically the same silicon, though the non-e version runs at higher clock speeds, so we can expect a slight improvement in performance but no more. Benchmarks have shown 8GB of RAM, a 12GB option seems unlikely. Storage will come in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. Like its predecessor, the S25 FE will have software support for 7 years after launch, matching the premium S-series models. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE speculative renders (image credit) The only camera to get an upgrade may be the selfie one, which is expected to have a 12MP sensor (up from 10MP last year). If this is the same hardware that is used in the S25, it would bring an autofocus lens. As for the rear cameras, they sound the same as last year: a 50MP main, 8MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide cameras. The last two Galaxy S FE models launched in early October, so that's the most likely time frame for the Galaxy S25 FE. Source (in Greek)

Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Does Samsung's stab at a low-cost foldable phone miss the mark?
For a while now, I've wanted a cheaper edition of one of Samsung's foldable phones in the worst way. And looking at the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, that seems to be exactly what Samsung's delivered. All right, that's a little harsh on the newly announced budget version of Samsung's foldable flip phone, which certainly isn't a bad device on paper. The fact that you can now get a foldable phone from Samsung that costs less than $1,000 — the first time we've been able to say that since the Galaxy Z Flip 5 two years ago — is a welcome move for anyone watching their bottom line. And it would be unreasonable to expect that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE to match the more impressive Galaxy Z Flip 7 feature for feature. The entire point of Samsung's whole FE approach is to scale back some features for the sake of offering a more affordable model. The problem emerges when you compare the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE to another one of Samsung's phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 that's been out for more than a year. Because when you do, you won't spot a lot of distance between the two devices. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Starting price $899 / £849 / AU $1,499 $1,099 / £1,049 / AU$1,799 Interior screen 6.7-inch AMOLED (2640x1080; 1-120Hz) 6.7-inch AMOLED (2640x1080; 1-120Hz) Exterior screen 3.4-inch AMOLED (720x748; 60Hz) 3.4-inch AMOLED (720x748; 60Hz) Chipset Exynos 2400 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 RAM 8GB 12GB Storage 128GB, 256GB 256GB, 512GB Rear cameras 50MP (f/1.8) main, 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide 50MP (f/1.8) main, 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide Selfie cam 10MP (f/2.2) 10MP (f/2.2) Battery size 4,000 mAh 4,000 mAh Charging speed 25W wired, 10-15W wireless 25W wired, 10-15W wireless Size 6.5 x 2.83 x 0.27 inches (open), 3.35 x 2.83 x 0.58 inches (closed) 6.5 x 2.83 x 0.27 inches (open), 3.35 x 2.83 x 0.58 inches (closed) Weight 6.6 ounces 6.6 ounces Look at that chart, and I defy you to find more than a dime's bit of difference between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, ostensibly a new phone, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The dimensions are the same. The camera specs are the same. The battery is unchanged. The standard Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be getting bigger screens, but on the FE, they're not any different from what the Galaxy Z Flip 6 offered. That said, a few specs are different from last year's Flip, though the differences aren't always to the Z Flip 7 FE's credit. You get less RAM and storage in the base model of the Galaxy Z Flip FE, though, to be fair to Samsung, if you pre-order the FE, you can upgrade to the 256GB model without any price increase. That means you'll have the same amount of storage as a base model Galaxy Z Flip 6 without having to pay extra. The chipset is also different between the two phones, with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE turning to an Exynos 2400 as opposed to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset that Samsung used last year. These are both older chipsets, so that's not a big difference in theory, even though Snapdragons tend to perform a little better than their Exynos counterparts. Samsung would protest that the above specs comparison doesn't capture a crucial difference between the two phones — the Galaxy Z Flip FE enjoys all the latest Galaxy AI features, such as the Now Brief feature on the outer Flex Window to alert you to your daily schedule, the weather and other matters of interest. And that's a fair point — Galaxy AI is a big part of the case for getting a Samsung phone, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE's $899 price lets you get an up-to-date handset for a relatively low cost of admission. But is the price of admission low enough? Samsung would argue less, as you can pick up a new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE for $200 less than what you'd pay for a regular Galaxy Z Flip 7, even if you're essentially buying last year's phone. After all, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 started at $1,099, too. But that doesn't acknowledge that the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 isn't likely to stay at $1,099. I realizing I'm writing this during the midst of Amazon Prime Day, and prices on phones are dropping across the board. You can currently pick up a 512GB Galaxy Z Flip 6 at Amazon for the same $899 price as the entry-level Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Drop the storage down to 256GB on the Galaxy Z Flip 6, and you'd pay $799 — which is less than the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Now, that discounted price on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is likely to end when Amazon Prime Day sales do. But I'd be willing to wager that prices on last year's Flip are likely to fall once the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series goes on sale for good on July 25. To put it another way, why pay $899 for a device with the specs from last year's phone when last year's phone is probably going to cost less soon enough — especially since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is getting Android and security updates for another six years? The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE doesn't just exist in a world of Samsung phones. There are other foldable devices out there, particularly when it comes to flip phones, and Samsung's new affordable model is hardly the cheapest of the bunch. That honor goes to the Motorola Razr (2025), a $699 foldable flip phone that also makes some compromises to deliver that lower price tag. The entry-level Razr runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X system-on-chip, which I don't imagine will trouble the Exynos 2400-powered Z Flip 7 FE when I test those devices head to head. But in other aspects, the Razr has better specs than the Flip. Motorola's phone offers bigger main and cover displays, has a bigger battery and more memory and storage. I wouldn't find taking a performance hit for gains in those other areas. And if you do value performance above all, the $999 Razr Plus (2025) isn't much more expensive than the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It has even larger screens, additional memory and a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. And you're still paying a little less than $1,000 for that particular model. I'm not saying the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE won't outperform either of these phones once we get a chance to test Samsung's new lower-cost foldable. But I do think that when faced with a chance to produce a stripped-back phone for a lower price, Samsung put a little too much emphasis on the former part of the brief and not enough on the latter part. Those AI features on board the Flip are really going to have to shine through to take the sting out of that.
