"For something called "Fan Edition", the FE series has trouble actually connecting to fans. Last year's model was criticized for its price, now the 2025 model is here and it's a very similar story - people think they can get better hardware for their money elsewhere."
"The S24+ has the same Exynos 2400 chipset (unless you live in a Snapdragon region) and has 4GB more RAM. It has a higher resolution (1440p+ vs. 1080p+) 6.7" display, an LTPO panel at that. The rest is close enough that it makes little difference. We've seen some great deals on the older Galaxy S24 FE this year - and in time we are sure that we will see similarly great deals on the S25 FE. Until then, the S24 FE or S24+ will overshadow the S25 FE. And that's just if you are looking at Samsung phones. Depending on where you live, you can get some near-flagship level hardware for $650/€750/£650."
"There's another issue - with the FE models coming in so late, they launch just a few months before the new Galaxy S generation arrives. Then there will be hot new hardware for those with money to spare or cheaper older S-models (similar to the S24+ situation right now). Still, some owners of older Galaxy S FE phones are seeing enough upgrades on the S25 FE to make them switch. Whether they do that immediately or whether they wait for the price to drop is another matter - we've already seen some reports on great deals from stores, but that seems pretty rare right now."
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE launches with limited appeal due to pricing and timing relative to other Samsung models. The Galaxy S24+ matches the S25 FE chipset in many regions, adds 4GB of RAM, and offers a higher-resolution 6.7" LTPO 1440p+ display, making it a stronger value while often costing less. Existing deals on the S24 FE and expected future discounts on the S25 FE further reduce the new FE's attractiveness. FE models arrive shortly before full Galaxy S flagships, which can make them harder to justify for buyers seeking value or the latest hardware.
