Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S25 FE on September 4, 2025, bringing its Fan Edition line back with a focus on affordability and flagship-grade performance. The phone is designed as a gateway to Samsung’s Galaxy AI ecosystem, offering premium features without the ultra-premium pricing of the S25 Ultra.
In India, the Galaxy S25 FE will be available both online and offline. Buyers can purchase it through Samsung’s official website, Amazon, Flipkart, and retail stores across the country. Pre-orders have already begun, and open sales are expected to start in mid-September 2025, ensuring quick availability for Indian consumers who have been waiting for this device.
Pricing is another highlight of the new FE. Globally, it starts at $649, which roughly translates to ₹54,000–₹56,000 in India. This makes it a competitive option for customers who want a flagship feel but do not want to spend nearly ₹1,20,000 on the S25 Ultra. Samsung has positioned the phone smartly in the mid-premium category, appealing to both tech enthusiasts and mainstream buyers.
The specifications show why this phone stands out. It sports a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, and everyday use. Powering the device is the Exynos 2400 chipset, which has been optimized for efficiency and AI-driven tasks. Buyers can choose from 8GB RAM with storage options up to 512GB, ensuring smooth multitasking. On the camera front, the phone offers a triple rear setup with a 50MP main sensor, supported by ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, while the front camera has been enhanced for selfies and video calls. The 4,900 mAh battery supports 45W fast charging, and the phone is impressively slim at 7.4 mm and lightweight at just 190 grams. It runs Android 16 with One UI 8, and buyers also get six months of Google AI Pro services free, including Gemini and NotebookLM.
In the Indian market, the Galaxy S25 FE will face tough competition from the OnePlus 13, iQOO 13 Pro, Xiaomi 15 Pro, and Google Pixel 9. While many rivals focus on raw performance with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chips, Samsung brings an edge with its premium AMOLED display, Galaxy AI features, long-term software support of up to seven years, and strong brand reputation.
Overall, the Galaxy S25 FE strikes the right balance between affordability and innovation. It delivers the essentials of a flagship experience—sleek design, AI-powered features, a powerful display, and solid cameras—at nearly half the price of its Ultra sibling. For Indian buyers looking for a future-ready AI smartphone under ₹60,000, this phone stands out as one of the most attractive options of 2025.
