Samsung Galaxy S25 FE hands-on: flagship-adjacent

A photo of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE.

Samsung's latest premium (but not quite flagship) smartphone, the Galaxy S25 FE, was announced at IFA 2025 alongside the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, and after 48 hours with it, there's plenty for Samsung fans to get excited about.

It's called the S25 FE, but a more accurate name would be S25 Plus FE, as its screen size matches the middle child Galaxy, missing out on that small phone charm of the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S25. With a lower price than both flagships, the S25 FE could be a great entry point to Samsung's AI tools across language and imaging. This is all part of Samsung's strategy to "double the number of devices using Galaxy AI to 400 million by the end of this year", set out by Annika Bizon, Mobile Experience VP of Product and Marketing, UK & Ireland, at the phone's launch in Berlin.
