Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone at IFA. It's available
right now, starting at $650. The handset is available in four colorways.

This is a midrange member of the Galaxy S25 family, after the company
released the S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra back in January and the ultra-thin
S25 Edge in May. The base-level S25 starts at $800, so this is a slightly
cheaper way to get in on all of that Galaxy action.

This phone actually ships with the company's One UI 8 operating system. The
other S25 models shipped with One UI 7, but have since begun receiving
software updates to bring them up to speed. This introduces a refreshed user
interface with new icons and better animations, more AI integration and
improved split-screen performance.

It features an Exynos 2400 CPU, which should get the job done but won't be
quite as snappy as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite that ships with the rest
of the lineup. There's a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with up to 1,900 nits of peak
brightness. The camera system is decent, with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP
ultra-wide lens and an 8MP telephoto lens. There's also a 12MP front-facing
camera.

Despite being a bit underpowered when compared to the rest of the lineup, the
S25 FE still accommodates all of those fancy Galaxy AI bells and whistles.
This includes the company's Generative Edit photo software, an on-device
assistant and more. So this is a relatively affordable entryway into that
world.
