Samsung Galaxy S25 FE review: Iterative to a fault

Here is a 175-word summary of the news article: The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is the latest iteration of the company's "Fan Edition" smartphone line, but it feels woefully out of touch with the changing market. The phone offers only minor iterative updates over its predecessor, the S24 FE, with little to make it stand out. The design is nearly identical to the previous model, with only slight changes in dimensions and weight. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display remains the same, as does the camera setup, except for a higher-resolution front-facing camera. Performance is improved with the newer Exynos 2400 chipset, but not significantly. Battery life and charging speeds are also comparable to the S24 FE. The software experience, with Android 16 and Samsung's One UI 8, is solid, but lacks any major new features. Overall, the S25 FE feels like a lazy effort from Samsung, especially when compared to the value-focused competition from Google and Nothing. Unless heavily discounted, the S25 FE is hard to recommend over other midrange options or even Samsung's own flagship models.
