Samsung Galaxy S25 FE to feature LTPO display, bigger battery, and 45W charging

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE has yet to be officially announced, but leaks have revealed a solid picture of what to expect. Combining a flagship feel with some mid-tier features, this new FE model will maintain much of the same design as its predecessor, with one key improvement: a switch to Armor Aluminum for a thinner, lighter build. At 7.4mm thick and weighing just 190g, it’s noticeably sleeker than last year’s model, which was 8.0mm thick and weighed 213g.

The Galaxy S25 FE will feature a 6.7” LTPO display with a variable refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz.

While the display remains 1080p+ and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, it will not match the higher resolution of the S25+ (which offers a 1440p+ display with Victus 2). Nonetheless, the LTPO panel should offer excellent efficiency and smooth visuals.

Battery capacity sees a small bump, now at 4,900mAh, an increase of 200mAh compared to last year’s model. More importantly, the S25 FE will support 45W fast charging, a feature that is becoming more common across newer Galaxy devices, though many still offer 25W charging. Wireless charging support is expected to remain at 15W, consistent with other premium Galaxy models.

The device will be powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset, not the Exynos 2400e seen in the S24 FE. Although the chip is largely the same, the regular 2400 will offer slightly higher clock speeds, which may result in modest performance gains. RAM will be set at 8GB, with no 12GB option, and storage options will include 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB variants. As with previous FE models, the S25 FE will come with 7 years of software support.

Camera upgrades are limited to the front-facing sensor, which will bump up to a 12MP unit, up from 10MP on the previous model. If this is the same sensor used in the S25, we can expect it to feature autofocus as well. The rear camera setup will remain the same as last year, with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.

The S25 FE is likely to launch in early October, aligning with the release timeline of its predecessors.
