Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch the Galaxy S25 FE, the next Fan Edition smartphone, as a successor to the Galaxy S24 FE. According to sources at Android Authority, the device — codenamed R13 — may feature the Exynos 2400e processor, the same chipset used in last year’s model, raising eyebrows over the lack of a hardware upgrade.
Galaxy S25 FE Chipset Details
Leaked internal code (siop_r13s_s5e9945) suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE will use the S5e9945 chipset, corresponding to the Exynos 2400e SoC. This is the same processor found in the Galaxy S24 FE, indicating that Samsung may skip a chipset upgrade for this model.

Performance Concerns
The Exynos 2400e is expected to lag behind more powerful processors like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and MediaTek Dimensity 9400, making the Galaxy S25 FE a more budget-friendly but less performance-intensive alternative to the standard Galaxy S25.
Expected Launch and Features
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is likely to debut by the end of Q3 2025 or early Q4, targeting users looking for flagship features at a lower price point. While detailed specs haven’t been confirmed, the phone is expected to retain several features from the Galaxy S24 FE, such as:
- 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage
- Triple rear camera system with 50MP main sensor
- 10MP selfie camera
- Galaxy AI features
- 4,700mAh battery with 25W wired charging
Other Samsung Developments
In related news, the Indian variant of Galaxy M36 5G is expected to feature the Exynos 1380 processor, the same chip found in the Galaxy M35 5G. Additionally, the Exynos 2400e might also power the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip FE, further reinforcing Samsung’s strategy to reuse existing chipsets in its mid-range lineup.
