Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 FE in the UAE on the same day as the iPhone 17 series goes on sale. It brings Galaxy AI features, a 6.7-inch 120Hz screen, an upgraded 12MP front camera, and a 4,900mAh battery. The phone goes on sale from 19 September with a starting price of AED 2,459 for 256GB. Buyers also get limited-time subscriptions via Samsung Members.
Price and availability in the UAE
The S25 FE goes on sale in the UAE from 19 September. The 256GB model is priced at AED 2,459 and is offered at the price of the 128GB tier for launch. Colours include Icyblue, Jetblack, Navy and White.
- On sale: 19 September in the UAE
- Price: AED 2,459 (256GB at 128GB price)
- Colours: Icyblue, Jetblack, Navy, White
- Extras: Samsung Members perks at launch (Amazon Prime, OSN+, VIU, Anghami Plus)
This pricing places the S25 FE squarely in the upper-mid range in the UAE. The colour choices are simple and neutral for most tastes. The bundled subscriptions add value at launch, especially for users who stream and listen on the go.
Galaxy AI features you’ll actually use
Samsung includes the latest Galaxy AI on One UI 8 with multimodal agents. These tools work across voice, touch and visuals to help with tasks. Features like Gemini Live bring real-time, on-device context, while Now Bar and Now Brief surface relevant updates. Circle to Search is built in. Privacy controls arrive via Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection.
- One UI 8 with Galaxy AI
- Gemini Live for visual, real-time help
- Now Bar and Now Brief for glanceable info
- Circle to Search support in games and apps
- Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection with on-device Personal Data Engine
In practice, these additions aim to reduce steps. Point the camera at two outfits and ask which suits Dubai’s weather, or circle a tricky boss move mid-game to see tips without leaving the screen. The privacy stack keeps personal data on device, isolating app data and guarding it with Knox Vault.
Camera and creative tools
The S25 FE focuses on useful edits and cleaner selfies. It adds a 12MP front camera, AI-powered ProVisual Engine, and stronger Nightography with low noise mode. Super HDR improves video. Generative Edit and Photo Assist help remove distractions and refine shots. Instant Slow-mo and Audio Eraser round out the toolbox.

- Front camera: 12MP with ProVisual Engine
- Nightography: low noise mode, better low light
- Video: Super HDR
- Editing: Generative Edit, Photo Assist, Auto Trim
- Media tools: Instant Slow-mo, Audio Eraser for voices, music, wind and crowd noise
These tools prioritise quick wins. Selfies get sharper and less noisy. For photos, removing a passerby or filling a background takes a couple of taps. For video, Auto Trim picks the best moments, while Audio Eraser lets you keep voices and drop wind or crowd noise without needing a laptop editor.
Performance, display and battery
There’s a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, a larger vapour chamber for sustained performance, and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging. The frame uses an enhanced Armor Aluminium design for added durability.
- Display: 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz
- Battery: 4,900mAh, 45W wired charging
- Cooling: larger vapour chamber
- Build: enhanced Armor Aluminium frame
The bigger vapour chamber should help the phone hold peak speeds longer during gaming or 4K recording. The 4,900mAh cell targets a full day in the UAE’s typical mixed use, and 45W charging keeps top-ups short. The display and frame choices keep the FE aligned with the broader Galaxy S25 series design language.
Security and long-term support
Samsung states seven OS generations and seven years of security updates for the S25 FE. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage zones and keeps sensitive data on device.
- Software support: 7 OS upgrades, 7 years of security updates
- Security: KEEP, Knox Vault, on-device Personal Data Engine
This level of support gives the FE unusual longevity at its price, which matters for buyers who hold on to phones for several years in the UAE market.
Ecosystem notes
The phone pairs with Galaxy Buds3 FE for audio and will share One UI 8 across the S25 series as updates roll out. For official details, Samsung directs users to samsung.com/ae.
- Accessory pairing: Galaxy Buds3 FE
- Platform: One UI 8 across S25 series in the region
This keeps the FE consistent within Samsung’s ecosystem, so you can add audio or wearables without friction.
