Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE 'Fan Edition', the fifth (and final?) entry in this 2025 smartphone family. I've been testing the Samsung S25 FE for over a week so here's my verdict on the camera tech, battery life, gaming etc. Is it worth a purchase vs the OnePlus 13r, Poco F7 Ultra and other best upper-mid-range phones? Well, sadly you lose a few features and suffer some specs slashes vs the S25 Plus. So, performance relies on last year's old Exynos 2400 - not even the fresher 2500 stuffed in that Flip 7. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is still fine for gaming, but not as smooth running more intense titles. Likewise, the camera tech isn't quite as capable, especially that dinky zoom sensor. Battery life is thankfully fine, if not stellar. You have a slightly bigger cell stuffed inside of the Samsung S25 FE vs the older S24 model - and much larger than the Edge! Although recharging is still slow, despite Qi2 support. The display isn't as sharp or bright as that Plus screen, but still quite poppy and a good one for movies or gaming. Audio is spaffed out by a respectable pair of stereo speakers and of course you have a veritable buffet of AI shenanigans. Still, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is a decent enough everyday smartphone, the OnePlus 13r and Poco F7 Ultra offer better value for money. And even the Nothing Phone 3a Pro is a Fan Edition alternative worth considering, at a far cheaper price.
