Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch the Galaxy S25 FE, likely in the second half of 2025. Previous rumours indicated that it would recycle the Exynos 2400e SoC from the Galaxy S24 FE, but a new leak suggests that won’t be the case. The Galaxy S25 FE may feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 according to NoteBookCheck, which would be a pretty substantial departure for Samsung and its prevailing chip supplier.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Tipped to Launch in Late 2025 with Possible Dimensity 9400 or Exynos 2400e Chipset

The Exynos 2400e continues to be Samsung’s preferred candidate for the Galaxy S25 FE, according to sources. But if Samsung Foundry has production constraints, the Dimensity 9400 from TSMC could come into play. This MediaTek model on paper is higher-spec than the Exynos 2400e, but Samsung probably also favours its own silicon to keep costs low and to also get behind its foundry. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is rumoured to come as the lite model of the Galaxy S25, which is speculated to come with a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 “Elite” SoC.

The FE model (Fan Edition), in its usual way, will be part high performance, part affordability, and will appeal to users who want flagship features at a slightly lower price. If history repeats, the Samsung S25 FE should launch around late Q3 or Q4 2025.

This is for your information, the Galaxy S24 FE was launched in September 2024 at a price of ₹59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. It offered a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, triple rear cameras with a 50MP primary sensor, a 10MP selfie shooter, and a 4,700mAh battery with 25W fast charging.

With Samsung still weighing its chipset options, the final hardware configuration may depend on market conditions and production capabilities. Either way, the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up to be a noteworthy upgrade over its predecessor, especially in terms of processing power.
