Fans of Samsung’s flagship mobile phones are eagerly anticipating the launch of the main Galaxy S25 series. The phones are expected to arrive during the first quarter of 2025. On the other hand, the company should announce a flagship-killer FE variant by the end of next year. A new leak has revealed the first key details about the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE.

In recent years, the Galaxy S FE series has maintained a conservative line in terms of design and improvements. Samsung even skipped the Galaxy S22 FE in 2022, leading to long-term speculation about the discontinuation of the brand’s FE phones. That said, it is possible that the Galaxy S25 FE will finally bring some noticeable changes in terms of design, mainly in the thickness department.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE would bet on thinness

According to South Korean media, Samsung wants the Galaxy S25 FE to stand out for its thinness. Its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 FE, is 8 mm thick, and Samsung could be aiming to at least match the thickness of the base Galaxy S24 (7.6 mm). Recent reports also suggest that Apple is working on an iPhone 17 Slim (or iPhone 17 Air), so Samsung would like to have a direct competitor in a similar price segment.

To achieve the thinness of the Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung would use a new battery that is thinner but wider. For now, the capacity of said battery is not known. The current Galaxy S24 FE mounts a 4,700 mAh cell. The leak claims that the device will keep the same 6.7-inch screen size as the current model. Hopefully, the combination of the same-sized screen and thinner body does not imply a reduction in battery capacity. Samsung will have to completely redesign the motherboard to make everything fit without making sacrifices.

Allegedly powered by the Dimensity 9400 chip

Another source reported that Mediatek’s Dimensity 9400 chip will power the Galaxy S25 FE. Negotiations between Samsung and MediaTek initially involved using the SoC in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+. However, a change in negotiations would have moved the chip to the more affordable next-gen Galaxy S25 FE. Using MediaTek hardware would allow Samsung to maintain a competitive price.

That’s all we know about the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for now. Since there is still a long way to go before the phone’s launch, it’s normal for most of the key specs to remain secret. Anyway, let’s hope Samsung surprises us next year with some big improvements in more key areas.
