Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE will get buried between IFA & Apple announcements- and no amount of AI can help that

Samsung has announced the Galaxy S25 FE, a new entry to the S25 family aimed at giving more people access to Galaxy AI and core flagship features. It ships with One UI 8 on Android 16, a 6.7-inch 120 Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, Exynos 2400, and a 4,900 mAh battery with 45 W wired charging. Seven Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates are promised.   

For the UAE, the starting price is reported at approximately AED 2,700, with sales commencing on 4 September 2025. Globally, Samsung notes the phone includes six months of the Google AI Pro plan. 

Galaxy AI features in daily use

Samsung is pushing on-device help and context-aware tools that work by voice, touch and the camera. 

• Gemini Live supports real-time, visual conversations for contextual help. 
• Now Bar and Now Brief surface timely info, from music to calendar and traffic. 
• Circle to Search shows tips inside games in a floating view. 
• KEEP (Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection) isolates sensitive app data on-device. 

These features aim to reduce the taps it takes to get answers, while KEEP and PDE keep personalised data on the phone, secured by Knox Vault. That combo targets privacy and less cloud dependency. 

Camera and editing tools

The S25 FE keeps a 50 MP main, 12 MP ultra-wide and 8 MP 3x telephoto, plus a new 12 MP front camera. It focuses on cleaner selfies and better low-light shots via the ProVisual Engine.   

• Low noise mode boosts night photos; Super HDR targets lifelike video. 
• Generative Edit can suggest removing passersby and fill backgrounds. 
• Portrait Studio builds avatars with more natural expressions. 
• Instant Slow-mo turns any clip into slow motion with one tap. 
• Audio Eraser isolates specific sounds like wind or crowd noise. 

The idea is simple: shoot, then make quick fixes on the phone. The system can auto-suggest edits and reduce background clutter, which helps for social posts without exporting to a laptop. 

Performance, battery and display

Samsung lists an Exynos 2400 with improved thermals and a 10% larger vapour chamber. The 4,900 mAh cell supports 45 W wired, plus fast wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare.   

The 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel runs at up to 120 Hz with Vision Booster, in a 7.4 mm, 190 g body. IP68 remains.     

• Memory and storage options: 8/128, 8/256, 8/512. 
• Charging to about 65% in ~30 minutes with the 45 W adapter (sold separately). 
• Connectivity: 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4. 
• Colours: Icyblue, Jetblack, Navy, White. 

The frame is enhanced Armour Aluminium. The package aims at steady performance for streaming, editing and everyday apps, with thermal headroom to keep the UI responsive. 

Availability in the UAE

Samsung says the Galaxy S25 FE goes on sale from 4 September in select markets and includes six months of the Google AI Pro plan. 

In the UAE, pricing is reported from around AED 2,700 at launch. Expect the usual colour options and memory tiers to roll out through official channels and local retailers. 

If you plan to pair with earbuds, Samsung also flags the new Galaxy Buds3 FE for tighter ecosystem features. 

Who should consider the S25 FE?

If you want key Galaxy AI tools, long software support and a large 120 Hz screen without going full S25 or Ultra pricing, this is the point of the FE.

• You’re after seven years of updates at a lower entry point. 
• You shoot lots of short video and want quick, on-device edits. 
• You prefer a big screen and solid battery life.
