Anticipation builds around Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy S25 FE, which is set to launch later this year as the successor to the Galaxy S24 FE. New leaks surfacing online indicate that the upcoming smartphone will feature a significantly upgraded front camera, potentially in line with Samsung’s initiative to enhance the Fan Edition series with more premium characteristics. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
Upgraded 12-Megapixel Selfie Camera Expected
According to a report from GalaxyClub, the Galaxy S25 FE is anticipated to come equipped with a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. This will likely be the same selfie sensor found in the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra models, marking a notable advancement over earlier Fan Edition iterations, which are equipped with a 10-megapixel selfie camera.
While the leak provides insights into the camera specifications, it remains unclear whether the sensor’s image quality will rival that of the standard Galaxy S25 series. The report posits that the front camera on the Galaxy S25 FE might actually mirror the one utilized in this year’s Galaxy A56.
For the rear camera setup, Samsung is reportedly maintaining a 50-megapixel main sensor for the Galaxy S25 FE. This same rear camera has been featured in both the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy S24 FE. Specifics about the additional sensors have not yet been disclosed. The configuration for the rear camera in the Galaxy S24 FE includes an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilization (OIS), paired with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
The expected launch window for the Galaxy S25 FE is late September or early October of this year, coinciding with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
Speculations regarding the chipset for the Galaxy S25 FE indicate that Samsung is considering either the Exynos 2400e or MediaTek Dimensity 9400. Initially, the Exynos 2400e is thought to be the preferred option, but Samsung could pivot to the MediaTek chipset if production challenges hinder the availability of the Exynos variant.
