Samsung S25 FE review

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is here, a phone that is usually a best-seller and popular in the market, but this phone is a bit annoying in terms of price. Stay tuned with WiseSkating until the end of the Samsung S25 FE review to see how it performs in different areas and whether it is worth buying or not?

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE – Key Points

Category	Key Points
Design & Build	Lighter, thinner, and more premium feel. Aluminum frame, matte glass back (can show fingerprints). IP68 certification.
Display	Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. Thinner bezels (bottom bezel slightly larger). Not LTPO (refresh rate 30-90Hz, not 1-120Hz). Good brightness and quality.
Comparison	Feels like a flagship (e.g., S25+). Competitors offer higher specs (1B colors, higher brightness) in the same price range.

Display Refresh Rate Comparison

Visualizing the S25 FE’s refresh rate limitation vs. a full LTPO panel.

Let’s get to the design. Its design has become really cool and gives you a more premium feel. We already had the aluminum frame and glass back, but with a few key differences. First, the weight of the phone has decreased by 16-17 grams and its thickness is also 6 mm thinner. These two changes have made the phone much more manageable and lighter and give you the feeling of a flagship like the S25 Plus.
The back is no longer shiny and has become matte, which I am a fan of, although it is very strange that this matte is not the kind that fingerprints are typical, especially in the blue color where you can tell under beautiful light that the phone is dirty. The cameras have the same three-under-one-island arrangement.

The most important thing in this section is the display bezels. After all, Samsung has put low bezels on a phone that is not a flagship. There are no more bezels like the A54 and A55. Of course, there is a small problem, and that is that the top, left, and right bezels are the same, but the bottom is a little more, which you get used to after a while. Overall, with the IP68 certification and this thinner and lighter body, it gives you a better premium feel than the previous generation.

Samsung S25 FE Display Review

Let’s get to the display; where many said that this panel is LTPO (meaning the refresh rate can switch from 1 to 120 Hz). The panel is the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X as Samsung’s top, but the point is that it is not LTPO! That is, even if it really wants to give you love, the refresh rate drops to 30 Hz and there is no mention of 1 Hz and it usually switches between 60 and 90.

The brightness has improved compared to the previous generation and the quality of the display is good. But if we want to look deeper, the competitors of this phone in this price range have displays with a billion colors and much higher brightness. However, the S25 FE display is almost a flawless panel and runs the cartoon perfectly.

Samsung S25 FE battery review

Samsung made a big fuss that the battery of this one was increased by 200 mAh (it is now 4900 mAh). But the point is that its consumption has not changed compared to the previous generation! Why? Because the processor still does not consume efficiently. Playing Call of Duty for an hour will reduce its charge by 14 to 15 percent, and in normal use you can probably get 6 hours, or 6 and a half hours of screen time.
In short, it’s not a phone that you can say has a very good battery. The only good option in this section is the upgrade of the charging speed from 25 watts to 45 watts, which allows you to charge the phone faster, and this is a good upgrade.

Security Review of the Samsung S25 FE

In the security section, the fingerprint sensor is under the display. The position is still low, but it’s tolerable and the performance is clean and okay.

Camera Performance Review of the Samsung S25 FE

Camera Specifications

Camera Component	Specifications	Performance Notes
Main Sensor	50 MP (same as S24 FE)	Clean, clear photos; some noise in low light
Ultrawide Sensor	12 MP (same as S24 FE)	Standard performance, nothing exceptional
Telephoto Lens	8 MP (software boosted to 12 MP)	3x optical zoom, don’t expect more
Selfie Camera	12 MP (upgraded from 10 MP)	15-20% improvement in detail, brightness, and clarity
Video Recording	4K at 120 fps	Cleaner videos, premium feature for a flagship killer

Camera Improvements Visualization

Key Takeaways

• Camera hardware is identical to S24 FE
• Photos are slightly brighter with more clarity and detail
• Portrait mode works well with good subject recognition
• 4K 120fps video recording is a standout feature
• Selfie camera upgrade provides noticeable improvement
• Samsung decided not to change a camera package that was already good

The next section is the camera. Let me summarize right away; the sensors are the same as those in the S24 FE! Exactly the same! There is no difference. Even the chip related to image processing has not changed. The photos it takes are a little brighter and give a little more clarity and detail, but the difference is not that big. The main 50-megapixel sensor takes clean and clear photos, which is what we saw on the S24 FE and you can rely on it. It has some noise in low light and shows weakness.
It takes good portrait photos and recognizes and blurs the subject well.

The 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor is the same as all ultrawides and there is nothing strange about it. It also has an 8-megapixel telephoto lens that can be boosted to 12 megapixels with software and gives you a 3x optical zoom, which you shouldn’t count on more than that.
There is something interesting about video recording; 4K 120 frames per second video recording! An option that Apple broke with last year, now it is also on a Samsung flagship killer phone. The videos it takes are also cleaner. Overall, Samsung saw that its camera package was good, so it didn’t touch it.
The selfie camera, however, has been upgraded from 10 megapixels to 12 megapixels. Selfie photos have better detail, more brightness, and better clarity. Of course, don’t think it’s a masterpiece, the difference is only 15 to 20 percent, but overall the selfie photos are really good and have been improved.

Samsung S25 FE Processor Review

Let’s get to the part where Samsung stepped in a shoe where I want to use this Exynos! The Exynos 2400 (which has a 10-15% improvement in benchmarks compared to the previous generation 2400E) is here too. But its performance in terms of stability is not good at all. The phone’s temperature rises to 45-46 degrees and after half an hour of playing games, it experiences a 50% performance drop! I don’t know why Samsung doesn’t put a Snapdragon, at least a dimension that consumes optimally. This phone has frame drops and stability drops in heavy games and its temperature rises and you can clearly understand that its performance has dropped.

Samsung S25 FE Software Review

This same processor, in the user interface, is very clear and good and everything works properly, but it annoys you when you do heavy work. Of course, all the AI ​​features of Samsung’s flagships, such as clean and tidy photo editing, are also available on this phone.

The important point here is that this phone will receive 7 years of updates and comes with One UI 8. What does this mean? It means that it will receive 2 more years of updates than the S24 FE! It’s true that the S24 FE came last year, but since this phone came with Android and One UI this year, it will be updated for a total of 2 years more than its previous generation, which is an important point.

Samsung S25 FE Speaker Review

Let’s move on to the last part, the speaker. The sound is naturally stereo. The vocals (the singer’s voice) have sharp and good separation, meaning they go more towards the lower sounds. In terms of loudness, the sound seems to come from the bottom of the well, but overall, it delivers an acceptable speaker to you.

Is the Samsung S25 FE worth buying?

Well, let’s move on to the final conclusion. Let me tell you: The design gives you a more premium, classy, ​​and flagship feel. The screen is good. The battery is average. The camera is good (the same as before). The average processor is down (poor stability).
This phone has competitors like the Xiaomi 14T Pro, which may be older but could be better in terms of processing, display, and charging speed. Or, for example, for 5-6 more tomans, you can go to the OnePlus 13, which has a flagship.
But its main competitor is Samsung’s S24 FE. In my opinion, this phone at this price is not worth buying at all compared to its previous generation.
If you are between the S25 FE and the S24 FE right now, definitely buy the S24 FE and spend the rest of the money on love and entertainment, or buy a Samsung headset and watch!. This phone (S25 FE) will only be worth buying when its price drops and the difference with the S24 FE is very small. At that time, you can say that its purchase value has increased.
