Samsung may release a Galaxy S25 FE model after all.
Leaks suggest the Galaxy S25 FE won't cost more than its predecessor.
A recent leak suggests the US pricing for the upcoming Fan Edition model may remain consistent with the current version. Previous speculation has now been seemingly supported by listed prices.
The Galaxy S25 FE has appeared on the website of IT solutions firm SHI, with color options including Icy Blue, Jet Black, Navy, and White. The base 8 GB/128 GB model is listed with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $649.99, while the 8 GB/256 GB model is priced at $709.99. The 512 GB version is not yet listed.
The listed prices match those of last year's model.
If accurate, this indicates no price increase for 2025, a positive development considering new US tariffs, especially as the main Galaxy S25 series also maintained its pricing.
However, this leak should be approached with caution, as the source is not a well-known one. Still, the $650 price point is plausible, as mid-range phones like the FE have limited room for price increases before consumers consider purchasing a flagship model instead.
The appeal of the S25 FE, especially with any price increase, may be limited. While not a poor phone, its price needs to be low enough to justify choosing it over the Galaxy S25 or even the older Galaxy S24.
The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to feature the following camera specs:
* 50 MP main sensor with OIS
* 12 MP ultrawide lens
* 8 MP telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom
The display is anticipated to be a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. It will likely be powered by the Exynos 2400 chip, also used in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and the Galaxy S24 in some markets outside the US.
The S25 FE may include a 4,900 mAh battery, a slight increase from the S24 FE's 4,700 mAh. It is expected to support 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging.
The Galaxy S25 FE could be released soon. The S24 FE was announced on September 26 of last year.
