Samsung’s new budget phone, the Galaxy S25 FE, is latest model in the Galaxy S25 series, and it’s already discounted despite being released this week. At its latest Galaxy Event, the company unveiled three other devices along with the S25 FE: the Galaxy Tab S11, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, all of which are seeing similar deals. The deal runs until Sept. 21.
Samsung’s FE series stands for “Fan Edition,” and it’s the budget version of its devices. The Galaxy S25 FE comes with a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, with a FHD+ resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 and a 120Hz refresh rate. As far as processing power, you get the Samsung Exynos 2400 chip, which features 8GB of RAM. The S25 FE still gives you access to all the S25’s Galaxy AI features, such as the Now Bar and Now Brief, Circle to Search, and Auto Trim videos. This deal gets you the 256GB storage version, which is the highest storage option you can get.
The battery is slightly better than last year’s S24 FE, going up to 4,900 mAh from 4,700 mAh. You can charge it fast with 45W or with 15W wireless charging. The camera has a 50MP primary wide lens, a 12MP ultra-wide, and an 8MP telephoto, along with a 12MP selfie camera. You also get some of the same bells and whistles from the other higher-end phones, including an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, facial recognition, and wireless support for Samsung DeX.
What do you think so far?
If you have an older phone you want to get rid of, Amazon is offering up to $650 in trade-in in the form of Amazon gift cards. This is separate from the $100 Amazon gift card you already get.
