The Galaxy S25 series has just broken a big sales record for Samsung in a major market

Is the original Galaxy S25 trio (Edge model notwithstanding) a box-office hit? That greatly depends on who you ask, and perhaps most importantly, on what region you choose to look more closely at, with different reports focused on different parts of the world telling contrasting stories. In Samsung's homeland of South Korea, for instance, the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra were basically declared a (joint) commercial sensation mere days after they were formally unveiled a few months ago as a result of their record-breaking "pre-sales" numbers. Of course, not all registrations or pre-orders translate into actual shipments of a new phone (or three), which explains why that mind-blowing 1.3 million unit tally is only now jumping to 2 million. That's right, the Galaxy S25 , S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra have apparently reached 2 million unit sales (that's real sales to real end users, mind you) in South Korea faster than not just last year's Galaxy S24 series, but all previous 5G-enabled Galaxy handsets. The first such device, in case you're wondering, was 2019's Galaxy S10 5G, and in recent years, Samsung has released innumerable budget-friendly smartphones with built-in 5G connectivity as well. So, yes, this is a pretty major achievement for the S25 family in a market that's obviously always been important for the world's top smartphone vendor. The Galaxy S25 is apparently more popular than the Galaxy S24. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Compared to the Galaxy S24 trio (which was itself considered a big success in South Korea and many other regions around the world), the S25 series made the 2 million milestone "more than" two weeks earlier in its local availability run, proving that you don't always need radical redesigns or substantial under-the-hood upgrades to achieve significant year-on-year progress. Interestingly, the S25 trio apparently got to a million domestic sales just around a week faster than 2024's S24 family, which means that Samsung's latest (and greatest) Android flagships are not slowing down, instead "accelerating further", at least in Korean stores. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy S25 Ultra continues to be the family's most popular member, which is actually a global trend that's massively benefitting Samsung's profit scores due to the higher margin of the 6.9-inch giant compared to its little brothers. Now that's a question you won't find a simple, clear, and definitive answer for. What I can tell you for sure is that Samsung's Q1 revenue and profit numbers for the mobile division grew in comparison with both Q1 2024 and Q4 2024, and the company explicitly put that progress on the "strong sales of the Galaxy S25 series" worldwide. Finding exact sales numbers to back up that statement is a little trickier, although a generally reliable source did share a combined global estimate of more than 9 million units around a month ago, representing a nice improvement from the S24's total a year earlier. The S25 Ultra is selling well, but not quite as well as expected in many key markets. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena The S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra are nowhere near as successful in the Western Hemisphere as they seem to be in Samsung's backyard, and that probably explains why it's become so easy all of a sudden to score the three super-premium phones at massive discounts stateside with no strings attached. Not that anyone's complaining about that, of course...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge review: New featherweight champion

Galaxy S25 Edge review:After months of speculation, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy S25 Edge globally on May 13, 2025. This new model is one of the thinnest phones released recently, with a unique design. But is it enough to choose over other Galaxy S series phones? At first glance, Galaxy S25 Edge might not grab your attention, as it looks like another premium smartphone with a familiar design. However, having used it for some time, I now understand where it sits in Samsung's line-up, and why the company claims it is the slimmest mobile phone in Samsung's history. The S25 Edge borrows key features from both the S25 Ultra and S25 Plus, including a 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a large 6.7-inch display, all packed into an unusually thin and light titanium body. This slim frame is the phone's standout feature, but its price, starting at Rs. 1,09,999 in India, places it near the Ultra and above the Plus variant, making you wonder if the design alone justifies the flagship. Also read: Samsung Galaxy S25 review: Flagship features in a handful package The hardware is undoubtedly top-tier, and the One UI 7 experience remains consistent across the S25 series. However, given that similar specs are available at a lower price elsewhere in Samsung's lineup, the question remains: is a thinner, lighter phone worth the extra cost? I've been using the Galaxy S25 Edge 5G as my daily driver for more than two weeks now, and here's my in-depth review to help you decide whether it's worth the price, depending on your priorities in a smartphone, how it compares to other models in the series, and who it's best suited to. When you hold the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for the first time, its design immediately tells you how much effort the manufacturers had put into the device, especially when you compare it to its sibling, the Galaxy S25 Plus. At just 5.8mm thick and weighing just 163 grams, this phone slips easily into my pocket without adding any noticeable weight or burden. For context, the S25 Plus (review) shares the same 6.7-inch screen size but feels heavier and thicker at 7.3mm and 190 grams, making the Edge stand out for its slimness. A post shared by HT Tech (@hindustantimestech) On the other hand, the device is made of a titanium frame, which offers the same material found in the S25 Ultra, with tough protective glass on both sides - Gorilla Ceramic 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. Samsung claims the front glass offers the same durability as the Ultra's, though it lacks the Ultra's anti-reflective coating. Like other models in the S25 lineup, the Edge carries an IP68 rating, so it can easily handle dust and water immersion without any trouble. Also read: Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus review: 'Ultra' experience without the hefty price tag In addition, the S25 Edge's button placement is also familiar: volume and power buttons sit on the right, a SIM tray, USB-C port, and speaker sit at the bottom, while the left side remains clean of controls. The phone has a single front camera inside a small cutout at the top of the display, and two rear cameras in a pill-shaped bump on the back. While the overall design of the device is flat, the camera bump does stick out noticeably due to the phone's thin body. This causes the phone to jiggle on flat surfaces and can interrupt finger movement when holding the device horizontally. Holding it for extended periods didn't cause any trouble. The shape finds a balance, not too sharp, not too soft. Compared to the Plus and Ultra models, this one seems to have found a middle ground that avoids pressure points in the hand. The titanium frame fits neatly with the glass, and whether I'm reading, watching, or just scrolling, the weight feels evenly spread out. Even with a case on, the slim build avoids that oversized feeling many large phones tend to bring. The design shares cues from other recent Galaxy models, especially the slim bezels, which are easy to notice once you power it on. The finish on the back gives enough grip to prevent constant slips, though I'll admit, there was that one time it slipped out of my hand, and I thought it was over for the phone. Thankfully, it held up well, which says something about how well it's been put together. Also read: iPhone 16e quick review: Compact but powerful contender The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display that offers QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate. While the size still feels a bit large for one-handed use, it's definitely easier to manage compared to the 6.9-inch Galaxy S25 Ultra. Samsung's effort to keep the bezels slim pays off here. The screen edges are neat and symmetrical, giving the phone a clean look. The sharpness of the panel also stands out, and honestly, I think it edges out the S25 Plus's display. Colours appear strong and maintain clarity even when viewed from an angle, which isn't always the case with other phones. The brightness level impressed me as well, reaching up to 1,997 nits, slightly higher than the Ultra. However, the lack of an anti-reflective coating means it struggles a bit under direct sunlight, especially when compared to the Ultra's better handling of outdoor lighting and colour balance. Still, the Galaxy S25 Edge's adaptive 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and animations feel smooth and natural. I watched several shows on it, and overall, the viewing experience was solid. That said, direct sunlight did cause some visibility issues. Also read: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: Almost the perfect Android flagship On the audio side, the Galaxy S25 Edge keeps its stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, but sound quality isn't as strong as I hoped. The output comes off as flat and lacks the fullness you'd want for music, movies, or games. It's fine for calls and casual media, but it doesn't deliver a truly immersive sound experience. I've been testing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's camera for some time now, and it's clear Samsung made some trade-offs to keep the phone slim. Unlike other Galaxy S25 models that come with at least three cameras, the S25 Edge sticks to just two: a 200MP main sensor and a 12MP ultrawide. It drops the dedicated telephoto lens, so all zooming relies on the main camera. Also, it has a 12MP front camera for selfies and vlogging. The cameras stick out quite a bit from the back, which means the phone wobbles when you use it on a flat surface. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it's noticeable if you try typing while it's lying down. Samsung hasn't confirmed if the main 200MP sensor is exactly the same as the one on the S25 Ultra, but the Edge does face some limitations without a proper optical zoom lens, which the other S25 models have. In real-world use, the camera delivers solid results despite having fewer lenses. The main sensor captures sharp images with good colour and dynamic range, especially in natural light. Low-light shots lose some sharpness and get a bit softer, but colours stay true. The lack of a telephoto lens does mean zoomed-in shots aren't as clean, but the 2x zoom from the main camera still looks good when the lighting is right. Also read: Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G review: Well-balanced smartphone with AI smarts, but not without trade-offs The ultra-wide camera does its job but shows distortion around the edges, and its colour tone doesn't quite match the main camera. It includes autofocus, which activates Samsung's 'Focus Enhancer' mode for close-up shots and video. It's a handy feature, even if it doesn't wow you. Portrait mode is hit or miss. The camera often struggles to separate the subject from the background cleanly, causing some blur to spill over the edges. Surprisingly, the main camera performs better when used normally, giving clearer images with more depth than portrait shots. Video-wise, the S25 Edge matches its siblings: it shoots 4K video at 60fps from all cameras, can switch between front and back while recording, and even supports 8K at 30fps. HDR video looks good, and the log format helps if you want to edit footage afterwards. Where the S25 Edge falls short is in low-light photography. Night shots tend to come out grainy and blurry, which isn't what you expect from a flagship phone. In short, the Galaxy S25 Edge's camera handles everyday shooting well and competes closely with the S25 Ultra's main shooter. But if you need strong zoom or better night photos, it won't quite match phones with a dedicated telephoto lens. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge runs on Android 15 with Samsung's One UI 7 on top. If you've used One UI before, the experience will feel familiar, but Samsung has made some notable changes. The biggest shift isn't just in the look or layout - it's in how AI is woven into the software. The new Multimodal AI Agents feature stands out by letting you interact visually with the phone's assistant. You can point the camera at an object and ask it questions, like the best book to calm your mind, or the Instagram-savvy cafes in the town for weekends. This visual AI is powered by Google's Gemini system and will roll out to the rest of the S25 series soon. Under the hood, the S25 Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip built specifically for Galaxy devices. It's a custom Qualcomm design, different from the usual Cortex cores found in other chips. The processor includes two high-performance cores running up to 4.47GHz and six others at 3.53GHz. For graphics, there's the Adreno 830 GPU, which uses a new architecture with dedicated memory slices, running up to 1.2GHz on three slices. This setup handles demanding tasks and gaming well. Furthermore, the handset comes in two configurations: 12GB RAM paired with either 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. That's solid for multitasking and storing plenty of apps, games, and media. I tested heavy titles like BGMI and Genshin Impact on their top settings. Frame rates stayed consistent, and there was no stutter. Samsung's Game Side Screen gave me options to adjust performance settings and refresh rates mid-game. Haptics also worked well while typing and during intense action moments. On benchmarks, the Galaxy S25 Edge scores well: 12,07,921 on AnTuTu, and GeekBench 6 gives it 2,480 in single-core and 8,869 in multi-core tests. In the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test, it hit a best loop score of 5,473 with just under 56.6% stability. One of Samsung's strongest points is its promise of seven years of major OS updates and security patches, plus eight updates for enterprise models. That's a long support cycle few others offer, giving the S25 Edge an edge in longevity. When it comes to battery and charging, the Galaxy S25 Edge takes a different route compared to its siblings. It packs a 3,900 mAh battery, which is smaller than what you find in other models in the S25 lineup. For everyday tasks like browsing social media, watching videos, and messaging, it easily lasts a full day with about 8 to 10 hours of screen-on time, which surprised me in a good way. But if you're someone who pushes their phone hard, you might find yourself reaching for a charger by evening. Charging speed is another story. The phone supports 25W wired charging, but the charger doesn't come in the box, so you need to buy it separately. Samsung says it can get to 55% in half an hour, but in my experience with a faster 65W charger, it took over two hours to fill up completely and got quite warm while charging - something that could worry those cautious about device safety. The slim design is a clear priority here, but if you travel a lot or need a quick charge, this might feel limiting. In a market moving toward super-fast charging, Samsung's speed here feels a step behind. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge stands out mainly for its slim, lightweight design, making it a good pick if you value portability without sacrificing flagship specs. It brings a solid camera, smooth display, and strong performance wrapped in a sleek titanium frame that slips easily into your pocket. If you're after a phone that feels light and handles everyday tasks and gaming well, this one delivers. That said, the phone has some trade-offs. Its smaller battery and slower charging might not suit heavy users or those on the go. Plus, considering its price, the S25 Edge competes closely with the Ultra and Plus models, which offer more features for a similar cost. In short, choose the S25 Edge if slimness and design top your list. Otherwise, exploring the S25 Ultra or Plus could make more sense for balanced performance and features.

Does the slim new Galaxy S25 give Samsung an Edge over Apple? Yes and no

Maybe it's a little off the topic, but I'll say it anyway: to me, the new Galaxy S25 Edge feels like the first true spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note 7. It was not the first time Samsung would try to a make a slim phone, but given it was the monster Note it was trying to tame, it was a big deal. But as it turned out later, it was easier said than done. This was in 2016. It would take Samsung almost a decade to go down that road the S25 Edge is no Samsung Note (those things are still high and mighty just the way nature wants it to be), it has some of the same underpinnings and values that you associate with a phone of its stature. The biggest giveaway is the hardware. The Edge is not an FE (short for Fan Edition), which is to say that it is not underpowered from any angle. Okay, maybe there are a few caveats here and there, but I am sure most people can – and should – get around them without any trouble whatsoever. What's on the platter looks delicious – but I about the S25 Edge screams flagship (and not the iPhone 16e-type). The simplest way to describe it is, it is a fancier Galaxy S25 Plus (or a S25 Ultra that hit the gym hard). It basically has the same screen which is 6.7-inch 2K (1440p) LTPO AMOLED with up to 120Hz refresh rate. The processor inside is the same top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite which – just like it is in other S25 series phones – is also optimised for Galaxy. It has the same amount of RAM, secondary 12-megapixel ultrawide and 12-megapixel selfie cameras are the same as well. The S25 Edge is also IP68 rated and supports 15W wireless charging. Finally, it is getting the same love – and commitment – as the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra when it comes to software and Galaxy AI features, with the promise of seven generations of said, this phone goes above and beyond the specs. Samsung is once again trying to sell us a slim flagship phone, in fact, its slimmest Galaxy S ever. And the numbers back it up Edge comes in at just under 6mm (5.8mm to be precise). That is really its biggest USP (short for unique selling point). But thinness alone is not enough. For it to have the type of impact that Samsung is going for – to be able to justify it as a category-redefining product – it must also factor in the weight. It has considered that, too. The S25 Edge weighs only 163 of these specs on their own may not seem like a big deal, but together, they amount to something that we've not seen a big-ticket brand like Samsung attempt in a long time. Even if the audience for such a product – like the Fold or Flip – is not as big as the relatively more mass-market S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, it is important that the S25 Edge exists today. You can get some sense of why that is, here. The TL;DR version is, the smartphone market has become boring lately, and the Edge is a breath of fresh obviously believes that it has 'winner' written all over it. Why else will it make fat-jokes about iPhones? The real question is does the slim new Galaxy S25 give Samsung an Edge over Apple? On paper, seems closer to launching a 'slim' iPhone – the purported iPhone 17 Air – than it is to releasing one that folds in the middle. Samsung has clarified that the S25 Edge wasn't inspired by the iPhone 17 Air, claiming its phone was in development long before rumours of the slim iPhone started to appear on the internet. The reason why the Edge exists is that people have been asking for a Galaxy S25 Ultra-light without skimping on too many specs. The areas where Samsung had to cut some corners – battery capacity and zoom camera – have more to do with physics than anything else. If it was humanly possible, I reckon that it would have applied even with the dialled-down battery (3,900mAh) and new-age technology advancements, critics will be watching the S25 Edge very closely. People have been burnt before and as much as Samsung would want you to forget and move on from the Note 7 fiasco, the Galaxy S25 Edge's real test will be how it handles cooling and how it ages over time. I am not too concerned about the build quality, it is solid, but a part of the internet will also be anxiously waiting for the JerryRigEverything treatment to find out how the phone holds up with everyday wear and tear (things like if it bends or not). The same expectations will apply to the iPhone 17 Air as well, even more so given that it is tipped to be even may have the early-mover advantage – again – but getting something out first is no benchmark for success. The Galaxy S25 Edge looks phenomenal. But it must also deliver and prove the naysayers wrong.

My First Day With the Galaxy S25 Edge: Battery Life Be Damned, I'm in Love

I have never wanted to slap a case on a phone more, but that would defeat the whole purpose. I'm holding the $1,100 Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge as I stand outside my apartment, waiting for an Uber. It's the first time I've taken the super-slim phone beyond the confines of my home and into a world of rough pavement. I tighten my grip. I marvel at how the 5.8mm device feels in my hand, about 20% thinner than its Galaxy S25 sibling. Yes, it's skinny, but that's not what stands out most. Rather, it's how utterly light it is. At 163 grams, the S25 Edge weighs one gram more than the baseline S25 but 27 grams less than the S25 Plus, which has the same 6.7-inch display. Meanwhile, in my other hand, the 227-gram iPhone 16 Pro Max feels like a behemoth. Now Playing: Galaxy S25 Edge Hands-On: Samsung's Super-Thin Phone Is Impressive 03:33 In my first day with the Galaxy S25 Edge, I'm amazed at how quickly I got used to the idea of a slim, lightweight phone. Holding anything else already feels outdated. While typing and scrolling on the feather-light device, I often found myself muttering "this is crazy" as I gently tossed it in my palm. I slipped the S25 Edge into my pocket and threw it into my bag without worrying about it snapping, despite its sleek form. "Maybe Samsung really does know what we want," I conceded as I marveled at the design. Battery compromises But you know what else we want? Long battery life. A slimmer phone means scaling back on some components, including the battery. The Galaxy S25 Edge has a 3,900 mAh battery, compared to 4,000 mAh on the baseline S25 and 4,900 mAh on the S25 Plus. Samsung says the S25 Edge's battery should last you all day, and in my experience so far, this has been true -- but don't expect any more than that. After a day of texting, scrolling, snapping photos, using Google Maps, posting to Instagram and hailing an Uber (all regular activities for me), the S25 Edge lived up to that full-day battery promise but was ready to be recharged after nearly 24 hours. I started with a full charge at 4 p.m. Wednesday soon after the phone arrived, and by 2 p.m. on Thursday, I was at 11%. So keep that charger handy at your nightstand. As I continue to use the S25 Edge, I'm eager to see whether this really becomes an inconvenience. Because truthfully, I'm always going to charge my phone at the end of the day (my excessive screentime habits necessitate it). This may just be a compromise I'm willing to make, if the actual experience of using the phone is more enjoyable -- and so far, it definitely is. Camera first impressions Another area where Samsung had to scale back is the S25 Edge's cameras. Instead of three rear cameras like the rest of the S25 series, this slimmer phone has a 200-megapixel wide (like the S25 Ultra) and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, as well as a 12-megapixel selfie camera. One of my favorite attributes from a hardware perspective is that the rear camera module isn't particularly obtrusive. Yes, it sticks out a bit, but not enough to take away from the phone's overall sleek design. I took the S25 Edge's camera for a quick spin to see how it performs in the real world, and have been impressed so far. I've always admired the vibrancy of images captured by Galaxy S devices, so I can't say I'm surprised. But the S25 Edge did a great job snapping punchy photos that weren't over- or undersaturated, and brightened up night-mode shots to make objects discernible even in pitch darkness. I hit up The Cowden Rose Garden in Walnut Creek, California, to photograph the spring blooms. The S25 Edge captured crisp imagery that faithfully relayed the array of pink, red and white buds throughout the garden. This shot depicts the vibrancy of the many colorful roses in this garden. Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET My favorite photo is this one captured in portrait mode (I'm always a sucker for portrait mode). I love the balance of how subtly blurred the background is compared to the crisp foreground, making for a cohesive image overall. And again, the colors are fabulously punchy. Portrait mode adds a nice touch. Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET I flipped the camera around for a quick selfie to see how the front-facing camera performs. In signature Samsung style, it offers a nice smoothing effect on my face (no makeup, no problem), while preserving detail and overall sharpness in both the flowers on my jumpsuit and the real-life roses in the background. Selfies are flattering without distorting the details. Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET I also snapped photos at .6x zoom, 1x zoom and 2x zoom (no telephoto lens means that's all you're getting). As is the case when I tested the S25 and S25 Plus, I appreciate how .6x zoom doesn't weirdly distort the image. 2x zoom also nicely punches in and preserves detail. .6x zoom Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET 1x zoom Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET 2x zoom Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET I'm doubtful I'll really feel the absence of 3x optical zoom like you'll find on the other S25 series devices, or the 5x optical zoom option you'll get on the S25 Ultra, but we'll see if more time with the phone makes me change my mind. And finally, in this picture taken in my living room at night, AI and processing work their magic to brighten up the final shot (which looked almost indiscernible on my screen as I was capturing it). It's not a particularly stunning image -- photos taken on a phone in pitch darkness hardly ever are -- but this captures how well the S25 Edge can handle those deep shadows and brighten up a subject. Night mode brightens up even the darkest shots. Abrar Al-Heeti/CNET Initial takeaways In my first full day with the Galaxy S25 Edge, I'm amazed at how quickly I've gotten used to a form factor that seemingly no one asked for. As dramatic as it sounds, any other phone now feels unnecessarily hefty after holding the S25 Edge (although perhaps Apple will hop aboard the slim phone bandwagon soon, too). And I'm happy to still have a quality camera in my pocket without the bulk. Despite my initial apprehension, towing the S25 Edge around town doesn't feel as big a risk as I anticipated, both from a durability standpoint as well as a battery one -- at least not yet. Sure, the battery life doesn't seem stellar but, so far, it also doesn't seem unmanageable. Let's just hope that slim frame doesn't slip through my fingertips and make me regret living on the edge.

There's good news and bad news for the Galaxy S25 FE's camera upgrades

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Galaxy S24 FE TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will apparently have a 12MP selfie camera, much like the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus. This would be a notable change as the Galaxy S23 FE and S24 FE used a 10MP camera. Unfortunately, it sounds like Samsung is sticking with the same 50MP main camera. Samsung has offered relatively few upgrades to its Galaxy FE phones over the years. Now, a trusted outlet has revealed that the Galaxy S25 FE could gain a camera-related change. GalaxyClub reports that the Galaxy S25 FE will have a 12MP selfie camera. This differs from the 10MP camera on the S24 FE and S23 FE and the 32MP shooter on the Galaxy S20 FE and S21 FE. The 12MP selfie camera would be in line with the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, suggesting image quality on par with these handsets. The S25's 12MP sensor has smaller pixels than the S24 FE's 10MP selfie camera, suggesting slightly inferior light-gathering capabilities. But this trade-off might be worth it for the small increase in detail. What do you want most from the Galaxy S25 FE? 0 votes Better performance NaN % Improved durability NaN % More AI features NaN % Better cameras NaN % Longer battery life NaN % Faster charging NaN % A higher quality screen NaN % Other (leave a comment) NaN % There are also a couple of other reasons to opt for this 12MP selfie camera over a 10MP shooter. For one, many phones offer normal and ultrawide selfie options, so a higher resolution sensor would enable a more detailed 1x crop. The increased resolution could also make for more effective electronic image stabilization for videos. Unfortunately, those hoping for a main camera upgrade might be disappointed as the website reports Samsung is sticking with the same 50MP sensor. This would be in line with both the S23 FE and the S24 FE. However, Samsung has used variations of this sensor on its base and Plus models since 2022. By contrast, Google, OnePlus, and others have used much larger, more modern primary camera sensors for a few years now. Rumors also point to the Galaxy S25 FE landing with an Exynos 2400e processor, which would also be in line with last year's FE model. In saying so, a recent report suggests Samsung might use the Dimensity 9400 as a 'backup plan.' Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
