Samsung has already confirmed that it’s launching the Galaxy S25 FE earlier in the year than its predecessor (which was unveiled on September 26). You may have been wondering exactly when to expect the S25 FE to make its debut, and a new report from Samsung’s home of Korea claims to have the answer.
It will allegedly be introduced on September 19. That’s exactly one week earlier than the S24 FE, so it does count – then again, you may have been hoping for “earlier” to mean this month or in early September.
The S24 FE actually became available on October 3, so if the September 19 date is when its successor will be released, that’s a bit earlier still – due to machine translation it’s not very clear if the Korean report is talking about the announcement or the actual availability date.

Over in Korea, the S25 FE is expected to cost less than KRW 1 million, which at the current exchange rates means approximately $721 or €620. How that will translate into pricing for other regions remains to be seen – it’s never as simple as a straightforward currency exchange as you may know. The report also claims the S25 FE’s price will either be identical to its predecessor’s, or only slightly increase.
The Galaxy S25 FE is rumored to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2400 SoC, a tiny improvement compared to the Exynos 2400e in the S24 FE. It should boast a 6.7-inch 1080×2340 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus on top, a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP selfie snapper, and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
The phone allegedly measures 161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4 mm and weighs 190g. It’s IP68 rated for dust and water resistance and should launch with One UI 8 atop Android 16. Compared to its predecessor, it’s slightly shorter, narrower, thinner, and lighter, but at the expense of a battery that’s smaller by 200 mAh (though it charges faster). Aside from the new SoC used, the main upgrade is in the selfie camera.
