Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 FE has a fatal flaw for its $649 price. Here’s what you must know.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is here, and it brings some of the best design features of the Galaxy S25 Plus in a more affordable package. But after spending some time with it, I think you should be patient and wait. In this hands-on review, I’ll break down the major compromises Samsung made, especially with the processor, which is a step back to last year’s Exynos 2400.

What nobody seems to mention is the price difference between buying this phone new from a retailer compared to an upgrade via your phone carrier.. I just upgraded for just over $200 (over 36 months) from an S23FE. It was a no-brainer.
Forgot to mention, we’ll have that hundred dollar Amazon gift card so technically the phone 549
Not sure where you got your phone. I’m getting mine on Monday in white brand new frames from Samsung 649 256 GB model.
The RAM is another issue…. FE only has the 8GB version. Not sure how it will fair in 3-5 years!
I have a S20fe and thinking of making the jump. Samsung currently offering $200 buyback and double storage 256 gb for $649. So $449 total
Should be compared with other phones in the same price range instead of s25+ .
Appreciate your efforts 👍🏻.
I bought an unlocked one and I can't connect to my carrier. They are saying LTE isn't on the phone. What the heck!
I bought directly from the samsung website, and they offered to give me a 300 dollar exchange value for my s23 fe, which to me is an insane value. I really liked my S23 fe but my biggest issue with it is that it drains the battery super fast and it is les than a year old. And I have to always keep carrying battery bank for emergencies. So I was looking to have my phone updated, and I was essentially able to get the s25 fe – 256 gb model for literally $400 after tax.
Let's see how the battery performance is like. If I am not happy with it, I will probably return it, and stick with s23 fe and save the 400 dollars.
i was able to bought it at $530
I'm loving the super white 🤍 S25FE. I'm gonna buy one on eBay in about 6 months for around $380 bucks I can't wait to check out that chip.
So its still better than my s21…
Will the case of the S25 plus fit the S25 FE?
Wow everyone is copping apple nowadays like it's a good thing, I just changed my Fe21 with a Xiaomi 15.
As a Pixel user, the SoC used on this FE is still superior lol
S24 FE has a better color choices than this, the only upgrade for this phone was less bezels and that's it. Idk man 2025 phones are so trash.
Those glasses can they solve problems in math physics and chemistry just of a look at the question
As someone who already bought the phone, I bought it on Amazon for around $700 with a $100 dollar gift card and 256GB storage; and I had been waiting for this phone since the release of the S25 series, I know it does not have the best processor and is not necessarily an upgrade from the S24 FE, but I had the S21 FE which to me is a huge upgrade, I also don't necessarily use my phones for gaming or much for the camera, and for the price and offer that Amazon was offering, I simply decided to buy it as soon as it released on the Amazon website. I have been using Samsung since I started high school maybe 7-8 years ago now, and although I have noticed that it seems that Samsung is no longer innovating as much as they could (or should) I still prefer Samsung because I have already bought into their ecosystem, and find it hard to move to something like a iPhone or android competitors (such as Google, OnePlus, Motorola, etc.). So although there is a small sliver of regret after buying this phone and watching this video, I have to say that I am still grateful that Samsung even bothered releasing an FE version years after I bought the S21 FE.
Why is Ryan Reynolds reviewing phones?
I really like the Silver Frame with the phone being another colour! Last we saw this was S6/S7.
Slim Bezels. Premium design especially on the edges. All colours are great. Light enough at 190g.
They finally got it right this time!
at least they didnt release this the same hour as Xiaomi 15T Pro's launch stream
I don't think, S25+ price would drop soon, since it is a last of its kind in S lineup.
Galaxy S25 FE 5G
Finally a fan edition worth buying after s21fe but in sale😅
samsung playing lazy here, its not worth it. skip it
Im just bought s 24 fe yesterday…wtf
