Samsung appears to be finalizing details for its upcoming Galaxy S25 FE, with new leaks shedding light on what buyers can expect in terms of storage and color choices. The device, which follows last year’s Galaxy S24 Fan Edition, is expected to arrive in the early fall, likely maintaining its position as a mid-range alternative to the flagship Galaxy S series.
According to reliable sources, the Galaxy S25 FE will be available in four main color options: Navy, Icy Blue, Jet Black, and White. While not particularly adventurous, these shades suggest a departure from last year’s more vibrant selection, which included Mint and Yellow. Whether this shift represents a design direction toward more neutral tones or simply a pared-down palette remains to be seen. The current leak doesn’t rule out additional hues, so Samsung may still introduce limited or regional variants closer to launch.
On the hardware side, storage and memory options appear to be conservative. The S25 FE is expected to ship with two configurations: 128GB or 256GB of internal storage, both paired with 8GB of RAM. There’s no indication of a 512GB or 12GB RAM model at this time, keeping expectations firmly in the midrange tier. This move aligns with Samsung’s likely goal of keeping costs in check, especially as it positions the Fan Edition below the core Galaxy S25 lineup.
From a pricing perspective, the Galaxy S25 FE is rumored to start at the same $650 price point as its predecessor. That places it higher than Google’s expected Pixel 9a, but potentially below the base model of the upcoming Pixel 10. Samsung’s challenge will be justifying that price in a category where consumers now expect increasingly capable hardware for less.
One area where the Galaxy S25 FE may offer modest improvements is its design and battery capacity. Reports suggest the phone will feature a thinner profile at 7.4mm—down from 8mm on the previous model—along with a slightly larger 4,900mAh battery. This should help the device feel sleeker without sacrificing battery life. Charging speeds are also expected to improve, with support for 45W wired charging. The front-facing camera may receive a bump to 12MP, though the rear triple-camera setup—comprising 50MP, 8MP, and 12MP lenses—is likely to remain unchanged.
Internally, the use of Samsung’s Exynos 2400e chip suggests performance may not take a significant leap forward. The same processor powered the S24 FE, and while it’s capable for everyday tasks, it’s unlikely to match the efficiency or thermal performance of newer silicon in competing models.
The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is expected to stay the same, offering the same resolution and refresh rate as before. For users who prioritize screen quality and size, this consistency may be welcome, though those looking for a more compact form factor may still gravitate toward the standard Galaxy S25.
The Galaxy S25 FE doesn’t appear poised to redefine the midrange smartphone segment, but it may offer enough refinement—through subtle design changes, battery improvements, and streamlined software support—to appeal to users who value brand familiarity and a larger screen without paying flagship prices. With a likely launch window in September or October, the full picture should become clearer in the coming weeks.
