Samsung Galaxy S25 FE renders just leaked — here's your first look

For the most part whenever Samsung releases the affordable Galaxy S25 FE we don't expect to see more than some minor upgrades to phone compared to the Galaxy S24 FE. A new set of renders leaked this week won't disabuse you of that notion. The images come from regular render-tipster OnLeaks via SammyGuru. Compared to the Galaxy S24 FE, these renders reveal a phone that looks pretty identical to last year's model. According to SammyGuru, the S25 FE dimensions are 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm (or 6.35 x 3.01 x .29 inches), which is basically the same as the S24 FE, and maybe a couple of millimeters smaller and thinner. The handset is rumored to retain the 6.7-inch AMOLED display and 120Hz refresh rate, though the bezels might be a bit slimmer. The only real upgrade we think you'll see is a bump up to the same 12MP front camera as the other S25 phones but the the same 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto setup on the S24 FE. There are conflicting rumors on the chipset the S25 FE might feature. These range from re-using the same Exynos 2400e chipset from the S24 FE to a slightly better Exynos or a Mediatek Dimensity 9400. The latter two would give the S25 FE a modest boost in performance and power. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Otherwise, the new Galaxy S25 FE should have One UI 8 out of the box with a number of new AI features introduced with the S25 launch earlier this year. Though with Samsung's seven years of software and security update support, it's likely the S24 FE will quickly have the same features and operating system. Now that we've seen a first glimpse of the Galaxy S25 FE the big questions left to answer are the release date and price. Last year's model launched $649 — $150 less than the Galaxy S25. This year, Samsung hasn't raised prices like it did in 2024, so we think, barring tariffs, that the S25 FE could keep a similar price. No release date has been leaked yet or shared by Samsung, but the Galaxy S24 FE showed up in October last year. Assuming history repeats itself, that seems like enough distance from the mainline S25 launch for Samsung to debut the S25 FE.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE tipped to feature slim design and even thinner bezels

Before Samsung could make it official, a new leak revealed a few details around the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE. The company brings the FE variant with every Galaxy S series, and the S25 is also expected to witness the same. While it is a toned-down version, the phone may cut the edge on a few specs as compared to the Galaxy S25 variant. However, the new leaks suggest that the design will go slim, and the bezels will be even slimmer. This latest sneak peek comes courtesy of leaker OnLeaks and the tech site SammyGuru. And although it's hardly surprising that someone's dug up these renders, what's really exciting is that this is the first proper look at the S25 FE's design so far. Let's take a Galaxy S25 FE design leakThat design, it seems, is an evolution rather than a full overhaul. The Galaxy S25 FE doesn't stray too far from the visual language of its predecessor, last year's Galaxy S24 FE, but there are some welcome tweaks. According to SammyGuru, the new model features noticeably slimmer bezels that will help it look more modern and refined. Another key change is its profile; at just 7.4mm thick, the Galaxy S25 FE is leaner than last year's 8mm version. When you put those numbers side by side — 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm — you can see Samsung is serious about slimming things down without shrinking the screen. advertisement Speaking of screens, the Galaxy S25 FE is tipped to pack a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That's par for the course for Samsung at this point — its Galaxy S24 FE and S25 flagship series already sport smooth 120Hz panels. The big question is whether this one will offer the adaptive refresh rate tech Samsung reserves for its priciest phones. Given that it's already present across much of the range, it would make sense for Samsung to continue this tradition in the S25 FE Galaxy S25 FE: What to expect Of course, the hardware under the surface is just as hotly anticipated. Prior leaks and rumours have hinted that the S25 FE will get an upgraded front camera and a refined main camera setup on the back, perfect for anyone who loves their social selfies or capturing crisp shots on the move. That said, we'll need to wait for more concrete details before knowing exactly what new tricks the cameras can of this 'Fan Edition' range will also be glad to see that Samsung appears to have carried over its trademark aesthetic — a clean, minimalist style with a neat arrangement of cameras. And while these renders don't give away every secret feature, they do include a 360-degree video that lets you explore the device from every angle. SammyGuru has uploaded this clip too, so tech-watchers can pore over every curve. Ultimately, the Galaxy S25 FE looks set to deliver exactly what its audience expects — a flagship-style phone with some premium perks, a refreshed look and an affordable price. Given Samsung's proven track record in the FE space, there's every reason to believe this will also be amongst the competitive mid-premium smartphones of the these renders reveal several details, we advise you to wait for an official notification. Until then, take these details with a pinch of salt.

It also made it clear that the era of experiments by major players is coming back. With both thin and compact smartphones making a comeback. Coming back, measuring just 5.8mm, the S25 Edge is noticeably thinner than its siblings. That alone sparks both excitement and skepticism. On one hand, it's impressive to see a flagship device packed into such a slim form factor. On the other, it raises questions about what compromises may have been made to achieve it. Striking the right balance is what users expect, and it's exactly the lens through which we reviewed this device.

However, if you're looking for something with more flair, the Jet Black Titanium variant might be more your style. While we haven't tested that one, it's worth noting that the Titanium Gray finish is a bit of a smudge moving on to display, the S25 Edge comes with a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with a max refresh rate of 120Hz. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge offers a display that's both smooth and highly responsive, making day-to-day interactions feel seamless.

That makes it a future-proof investment, promising fresh features and security enhancements well into the next is where the compromises of a thin form factor start to become apparent specifically when it comes to heating and battery life. The Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC. This custom-tuned 8 Elite chipset has delivered strong performance for Samsung in the past, and for the most part, it performs well here day usage on the Edge feels smooth, thanks to the 12GB of RAM. Multitasking is a breeze you can keep several apps running in the background and pick up right where you left off. Whether you're browsing, scrolling through social media, or watching videos, the experience is consistently gaming is where things get a bit tricky. While the S25 Edge isn't designed as a gaming device, you do expect a standard of performance from a flagship. Here, it does tend to heat up when playing demanding titles at high settings something noted by my peers as well. That's the inevitable trade-off when you're working with a chassis this thin. Testing the device in Delhi's summer heat only made things more our sessions with BGMI and Genshin Impact, the heating was noticeable enough to impact the experience. That said, lowering the graphics settings helped ease the issue considerably so think of this as a heads-up if gaming is part of your daily life is another area where the slim design places limits.

But compared to standard phones or the Ultra and Plus variants there's definitely a step 3900mAh battery delivers about 5.5 hours of screen-on time with an active internet connection, regular calling, and everyday use. For such a slim device, that's not a bad number but it's tough to call it flagship-grade. Unfortunately, the 25W charging cap doesn't help the situation either something we've highlighted in our other S25 reviews as Galaxy S25 Edge comes equipped with a dual-camera setup on the back, completely omitting long focal length lenses. That omission is understandable—given the ultra-thin design, there simply isn't room for large camera modules, and telephoto systems are typically too bulky to fit without compromising the sleek form ultrawide camera is carried over from the S25 and S25+ models, but this time it gets a notable upgrade with the addition of autofocus, enhancing its versatility for both wide landscapes and close-up selfie camera on the Galaxy S25 Edge uses the same 12MP sensor found across the entire S25 lineup, so there are no surprises on that front. It delivers consistent results in line with its Galaxy S25 Edge's main camera delivers excellent results in good lighting sharp images with wide dynamic range, accurate color tones, and natural-looking colors, much like the S25 Ultra, thanks to shared hardware and software. Even 2x zoom photos hold up well, with minimal sharpness loss despite the lack of a dedicated telephoto ultrawide camera performs decently but isn't quite flagship-tier. It shows some softness and limited dynamic range, though autofocus adds versatility for both wide shots and close-ups. The macro mode is effective, but automatic switching between lenses when shooting close can be inconsistent thankfully, you can turn it performance, however, is where the Edge falls short. The camera doesn't reliably trigger Night mode automatically, and unless manually selected, you'll often get soft, noisy images with clipped highlights and imbalanced contrast. The 200MP mode also underwhelms in sharpness sticking to the default 12MP binned mode yields far better results did miss having a telephoto camera on the Galaxy S25 Edge especially given how often we shoot content. A telephoto lens helps capture distant details that simply aren't reachable with standard or ultrawide lenses. And with the S25 Ultra offering one of the best telephoto systems in the industry, its absence on the Edge is definitely Galaxy S25 Edge offers the same video recording capabilities as its S25 siblings.

It strikes a compelling balance between aspiration and execution, making it a solid recommendation for many buyers. That said, potential users should be aware of the compromises, especially around battery life and thermal Edge is clearly built for someone who's tired of bulky phones and wants something sleek, distinctive, and premium. But if you're fine with a more traditional flagship experience and don't mind the extra weight, the Galaxy S25 Ultra remains the obvious choice.
