Samsung takes another stab at an FE phone

Take your prime from 4 colour options.

I’ve ne'er been rather definite what to telephone the class Samsung’s Galaxy FE belongs to. Upper midrange? Midrange plus? Low flagship? Whatever we’re calling it, Samsung is bringing the conception backmost again this twelvemonth successful the Galaxy S25 FE, which continues to basal for Fan Edition. It’s inactive $650 similar the S24 FE earlier it and inactive comes with a 6.7-inch screen, making it a large telephone for the value-conscious buyer. Also caller from Samsung contiguous for big-screen fans: the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra with a 14.6-inch screen, alongside the less-big Tab S11 with 11-inch screen. They’ll outgo $1,199 and $799, respectively.

My workfellow Dominic Preston got immoderate hands-on clip with each 3 devices, which are each thinner and lighter than the versions that preceded them. The S25 FE gets a flimsy artillery boost — 4,700mAh to 4,900mAh — and an updated selfie camera, from 10 megapixels to 12 megapixels. The 8-megapixel 3x zoom is inactive a measurement down the telephoto camera connected the S25 and S25 Plus, but it’s there, astatine least. It’ll travel with an Exynos 2400 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB oregon 256GB of storage.

If the S25 FE belongs to the flagship-minus class, past the basal Pixel 10 is simply a contender for the class this year, too. Like the FE it doesn’t connection rather the aforesaid high-end camera specs arsenic the higher-tier flagships, but does see an optical zoom lens. It’s a tad pricier astatine $799, but the ethos is similar. Still, I deliberation astatine slightest portion of the crushed for the S25 FE’s beingness is to beryllium connected a support adjacent the other caller phones we’re expecting adjacent week and tease iPhone buyers with a little terms and a telephoto lens that their basal exemplary can’t touch.

The Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra besides travel with a diagnostic you won’t find included successful the container with Apple’s tablets: a stylus. It doesn’t connection Bluetooth LE connectivity, but it’s there. The S11 Ultra comes with an anti-reflective show coating, a diagnostic I admit connected the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And it makes consciousness connected a tablet this large that you mightiness privation to usage arsenic a laptop replacement. Both tablets — and the S25 FE excessively — volition vessel with One UI 8, which is Samsung’s mentation of Android 16. They’re disposable starting today.
