Samsung Galaxy S25 FE battery: All you need to know
Samsung is apparently readying itself to release yet another, final addition to the Galaxy S25 lineup. The Galaxy S25 FE will likely come our way this fall, and judging from the leaked specs and features, it might very well turn out to be the best value among all Galaxies. That will seemingly mirror previous Galaxy FE devices, which were mainly released roughly six months after the main flagship releases but cut some corners and carry a slightly more appealing price tag, making them a good bang for the buck. The same appears to be the case with the Galaxy S25 FE, which will closely follow the Galaxy S25 Plus in terms of design language and overall build. Even the dimensions and weight will reportedly be similar: around 7.4 mm in thickness and roughly 190 gr in weight, which will certainly be an improvement over the Galaxy S24 FE, which was 8 mm thick and heavier at more than 210 gr. Let's walk through all the battery improvements that the Galaxy S25 FE will reportedly carry. Apparently, the Galaxy S25 FE will have a 4,900mAh battery, which will be 200mAh more than the Galaxy S24 FE . That would bring the Galaxy S25 FE pretty much on the same level as the Galaxy S25 Plus and pretty close to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which comes with a 5,000mAh battery. *-rumored capacity So far, so good, but it remains to be seen if the battery life will be better than the rest of the Galaxy S25 series, as the phone will reportedly use the Exynos 2400 chipset, which could either deliver a slightly better or slightly worse battery life. What about the charging situation? Well, it appears that Samsung will be giving yet another cool upgrade to the Galaxy S25 FE, which will introduce 45W wired charging, up from 25W on the Galaxy S24 FE . This will bring the upcoming Galaxy straight into Samsung flagship territory, as both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Plus both come with 45W wired charging, but the regular Galaxy only supports 25W. This will potentially make the Galaxy S25 FE the best-value upcoming Samsung phone to consider getting instead of the vanilla Galaxy, which sounds like a worse and worse deal with every year that passes. Yes, the Galaxy S25 FE will most certainly have wireless charging, but we don't expect an upgrade over the standard 15W wireless charging. Such a common wireless charging speed has been the recurring theme with most Galaxies in the past few years, and it's quite doubtful that an FE model will introduce a major improvement in this regard. Yes, we expect that the Galaxy S25 FE will also get reverse wireless charging, but like with most Galaxies, it will probably max out at around 5W. That's not very fast, but enough to charge your earbuds or Galaxy Watch in emergencies. Alas, the Galaxy S25 FE will most certainly come without a charger in the box, which has been the standard way of doing things for the past few years (thanks, Apple). There will most certainly be a USB-C cable in the box, though. Thus, to achieve the best compatibility, the Galaxy S25 FE will best pair with Samsung's 45W fast charger, which will definitely deliver the best charging speeds to the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE just tipped for a surprising Ultra-level upgrade
A new report has revealed that the next phone in Samsung's affordable FE series, the Galaxy S25 FE, might feature one advantage over the Galaxy S25. With Galaxy Unpacked having come and gone, you might think Samsung's big phone launches are done for the year. However, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected for release later this year, and while the FE series often features slightly worse hardware, a new report has indicated a substantial charging upgrade for the phone. According to a report from SammyGuru, device quality and safety testers TUV Rheinland have published a listing with the model number SM-S731, which is believed to refer to the Galaxy S25 FE. While the listing in question contains few hardware details, there is one thing of note: the apparent confirmation of 45W charging speeds for the phone. This would mean that the cheaper Galaxy S25 FE would match the charging speeds seen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Plus, and exceed the 25W seen in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S24 FE. As we don't know the battery size of the phone, we can't state for certain how speedy a charge you'll get. However, when we tested the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with its 5,000 mAh battery, it managed to reach 71% battery after charging for 30 minutes with a 45W charger. As such, if this news is accurate, we'd imagine the S25 FE to charge impressively quickly too. Aside from the battery, we've heard a few rumors about the rest of the Galaxy S25 FE's hardware. For instance, we've seen reports that the phone will feature the same camera setup as the Galaxy S24 FE, meaning a 50MP main lens, supported by 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto cameras. On the plus side, it appears that Samsung could update the selfie camera to 12MP, compared to the 10MP selfie camera on the current FE. We don't know much about the screen, but we'd expect the phone to at least have the same 6.7-inch display seen on the current S24 FE. There's also a lot of conflicting information when it comes to the chip coming with the phone. We've heard that Samsung could reuse the Exynos 2400e featured on the current phone. However, leaked benchmarks have shown the phone running the Exynos 2400, which would offer a marked performance increase, although it would still lag behind Samsung's other flagship devices and their Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon. Samsung released the Galaxy S24 FE in October last year. While we can't be certain Samsung will stick to the same date, it would seem fair to expect a Fall release date at least.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will have improved charging, unlike the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite - GSMArena.com news
14 July 2025 Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 FE has recently been rumored to come with support for 45W wired charging, a marked increase from its predecessor's 25W capability. Now, thanks to a TÜV Rheinland certification, this has been confirmed. Naturally, don't expect the phone to come with a charger in the box. TÜV Rheinland has also certified the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, and unfortunately this tablet didn't get the same treatment as the S25 FE, thus it will only go up to 25W charging. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (left) and Tab S10 Lite (right) certifications All the other members of the Tab S10 family do support 45W, but limiting the Lite model to 25W is one of the corners cut in what we assume was the idea to keep the price low. Of course, the actual price of this device isn't official yet - the tablet itself is yet to be announced - so it remains to be seen whether that actually pans out. Still, it should be the cheapest of the Tab S10 models for sure. The Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite could actually be launching together around October. Undoubtedly we'll be hearing a lot more about both until then, so stay tuned. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Via

OnePlus Nord 5 shows Samsung how to make the perfect Galaxy S25 FE
About three weeks ago, a rather interesting phone landed at my doorstep. It was OnePlus' latest budget pleaser, which neither falls in the 'mid-tier' segment, nor sniffs too close to the flagship summit. Yet, the value it offers at an MSRP of around $400 redefines the whole concept of the class that we often refer to as 'budget flagships.' The Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition phones are the quintessential definition of this honor, at least for the competition-starved US market. After using the OnePlus Nord 5, I've come to the realization that this is what a true Fan Edition phone should look like. One that delivers where it matters, without a confoundingly high price tag slapped on the box. I believe it's a recipe for Samsung to emulate for its next Fan Edition phone. It commands a second glance I've extensively written about Samsung's identity crisis in design. The company has been recycling the same fundamental look for years — from thousand-dollar flagships to dirt-cheap plastic-made phones. The current-gen Galaxy S24 FE is not different. Plus, in our review, it got flak for its 'cheap and hollow' in-hand feel. Recommended Videos OnePlus Nord 5 skirts around that dilemma by going with a fresh look, one that is a dramatic deviation from the all-metal OnePlus Nord 4. The rear shell is an all-glass affair, while the sides are polycarbonate with a metal-mimicking coat of paint over it. The surface finish is the real standout element. It looks like natural marble, but has a beautiful satin-like finish. The rear shell is pleasant to touch, though it's a tad slippery. Unlike the Galaxy S24 FE, the OnePlus Nord 5 looks and feels a lot more premium. That's pretty wild because the Samsung phone is about 47% more expensive than its OnePlus rival. My only pet peeve is that in its quest to make a well-built phone with a large battery, the OnePlus Nord 5 reached a weight profile of 211 grams, and its footprint is also pretty wide. I have no complaints with the lovely 1.5K OLED display. Far from it, actually. It is a 144Hz panel that can handle HDR content and doesn't struggle with touch sensitivity even with water droplets on the screen. It's the uniformly thin bezels, however, that give it the aura of a much pricier phone. Outclassing the heavy-hitters One of the biggest concerns I've had with 'big flagships' over the years is the cuts they make in certain crucial areas. Think of display, processor, camera, or battery life. The latest OnePlus warrior is not entirely shielded from that trend, but at the same time, it also delivers a few unexpectedly good surprises. The phone comes fitted with a massive 6,800 mAh battery. Save for the Red Magic 10s Pro, this is the biggest battery I have ever used in a phone, and the beefiest for a mainstream brand doing business in the US. For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra only features a 5,000 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S24 FE sticks with an even smaller 4,700 mAh battery. With moderate usage, I was able to go two days without charging the phone. On days that I mixed things up a bit with games, extended music streaming sessions, and outdoor navigation, the phone would still end the day with 30-40% juice still left in the tank. With power saving thrown into the mix, the mileage only goes up. Another underrated, but crucial benefit is fast charging. Seeing the phone go from empty to 100% in just an hour is a huge relief, thanks to support for 80W charging. With just 10-15 minutes of plugged-in time, you can get enough juice to last half a day with ease. For comparison, Samsung's best phones are still stuck close to the halfway mark in terms of charging speed. Moreover, you don't need to pay extra cash for that ultra-fast charging convenience, as the 80W charging brick comes bundled in the retail package. Are you seeing this, Samsung and Apple? Going a step further, OnePlus has enabled passthrough charging on the Nord 5. So, let's say you are playing games. Once this mode is enabled, the power is supplied only to keep the phone running, but not stored in the battery. This avoids heating of the Li-ion cell and is claimed to keep the battery in a healthy shape in the long run. Talking about heat, the OnePlus Nord 5 offers something you won't usually find in a budget-centric phone. A large vapor chamber cooling system. It did an admirable job handling the stress of Wuthering Waves and Call of Duty Mobile at a cool 144 fps, thanks to the built-in Adaptive Frame Booster system. The rear shell gets warm, but the Nord 5 didn't get as toasty as phones with a metallic rail, under stress. My biggest hardware gripe is that the in-display fingerprint sensor is positioned uncomfortably close to the lower edge, which means you need to adjust the phone's position in the hand to get a proper scan. On the software side, OnePlus is promising four years of yearly Android upgrades and security patches for six years. That's not the best out there, but acceptable for a phone in this price bracket. The software is your usual OxygenOS affair, with its own set of perks such as the excellent OnePlus Mind Space for cataloging content using AI and the side bar. Getting the basics just right OnePlus has armed the Nord 5 with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, which is neither the latest, nor its fastest top-end silicon. The day-to-day performance, however, is way above the benchmark you would expect from a $400 phone. Synthetic benchmarks suggest that it is neck to neck with MediaTek's Dimensity 8350 Extreme Edition powering the Motorola Edge 60 Pro. Moreover, compared to the Nothing Phone 3a Pro (which costs $460 in the US and relies on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 silicon), the Nord 5 proves to be twice as powerful on AnTuTu and single-core Geekbench tally. At graphics-intensive GFXbench and 3DMark tests, the OnePlus Nord 5 proves to be nearly 30% more powerful, on average. What surprised me the most was the phone's stability under load. After running a 20-minute-long test on 3DMark, the phone achieved a stability score of 83.9% and locked the frame rate to a small fluctuation range instead of a sustained drop. The Exynos 2400e inside the Galaxy S24 FE is no slouch, but the phone can't handle heat and sustained load nearly as well as the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inside the Nord 5. Coming to the cameras, I quite like the main 50-megapixel snapper on the latest from OnePlus. The optically stabilized main sensor takes sharp pictures with a health level of surface detail and realistic color output. Even the 2x in-sensor cropped shots turn out pretty well. The color processing is different compared to the OnePlus 13, which offers a lot more character in stills. The Nord 5, however, does an admirable job of retaining the skin tone, even though it occasionally struggles with surface details and harsh highlights. Daylight shots are slightly on the warmer side. With slight exposure adjustment, the Night Mode can overcome its light bleeding issues, too. It, however, struggles with retaining the color tone of objects and usually defaults to a higher ISO ceiling than needed. A bit of software tuning can fix it, hopefully. The 50-megapixel selfie camera also fares pretty well and draws full benefits of pixel-binning tech. The only notable miss is the telephoto camera, which you get on the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. But if you look around, even the mainline iPhone still sticks with the same main + ultrawide dual camera approach despite their much higher asking price, so the OnePlus Nord 5 can be excused here. It's the value that matters At an ask of nearly $400 (converted from the Indian market price), and £499 in the UK, the OnePlus Nord 5 hits well above its weight class. It avoids the usual pitfalls of a budget-centric phone and offers facilities that are usually reserved for high-end devices. The silicon performance is unexpectedly good, and so is the 144Hz OLED screen. The looks are clean, while the material quality also impresses. The real stunner is the massive battery and the fast charging facility, complemented by an in-box 80W charging brick. Overall, the OnePlus Nord 5 serves as a template for what a Fan Edition should actually cost and deliver. I hope Samsung is taking notes and accordingly makes the right decisions with its yet-to-be-launched Galaxy S25 FE in the coming months.
