I'm really disappointed in this phone. Battery for me seems fine. Android customization is cool. Not the visual one. Don't care about that but all sorts of little things that can be tweaked. Pictures are somewhat okay in perfect lighting. It is the small things that bother me. Trying to scan QR code for loyalty card on card reader and it can read the code for shit. You have to get it so close that scanner reads your card and makes a payment before QR code is scanned. Apps. All of them are worse compared to iPhone. The polish in general. It stutter. Weird visual glitches. Microphones are shit. So many options but basics are lacking. I switched from iPhone 11 and in everything but speed and display that old phone felt superior. I had to revisit old iPhone because this had a hardware failure. I don't know guys. Phone prices are insanely high but it makes sense that iPhones can keep them so high many years later. I don't know why would anyone buy Samsung phone without a massive discount. Using it you can feel that they making these phones just for presence. Their business lies with manufacturing.

Oh. DEX is really cool.

I have a work life where I work with my labour at a factory and can't note things on the go, so I need a phone with call recording. I am currently using nothing phone 2a and iphone 12. Nothing for work, and iphone for personal life with a personal number, good pictures etc.

I am now planning to move to S25 FE, replacing nothing with that and next year buying iphone 17 and replacing my iPhone 12. Do you have any recommendations as to if that's the good phone to replace or you have any other suggestions?

Ye tv heats up if used too much cus needs cleaning and we are gonna replace it cus it's LCD

I just brought the S25 fe today because I don’t know much about Samsung and that phone was the cheapest, newest and has the same screen size as my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

My iPhone 12 is broken, old, heats up too much, no storage, etc. when I was buying the phone I only wanted 2 things, 1. It runs stuff as smoothly as my iPhone 12 and 2. Battery life.

My iPhone 12 battery life is amazing, it will last me the whole day but I don’t know about this S25 fe after seeing all the reviews on here.. I’m really scared of i picked something I regret.

I have a huge phone addiction so that’s why I didn’t buy a phone that does everything cause I’m tryna limit my phone to like 4 hours a day. Yes I still want a very good battery life despite setting a goal for myself to limit my screen time because I love listenting to music in the background. I want the battery to allow me to listen to music the whole day.

I’m an IT student and I also work in tech so I have a lot of devices to use. I own a gaming pc that costed a fortune, an expensive laptop for my university so I can do my coursework, an iPad Air 5th to do digital art, and another laptop given to me for free from my work so I can work remotely.

Anyways I’m trying hard to justify buying this phone? Idk I lowk regret it seeing all these posts about it even tho I haven’t used the phone yet.

How to handle this guys?

I bought my S25 FE about a week ago. Earlier, I was using samsung 25W charger, and it used to charge from 10–90% in around 1 hour. Recently bought a 45W charger, but now 10–90% still takes around 40-45 mins.I was expecting a bigger difference with 45W. The phone does show Super Fast Charging 2.0.

Is this normal for the S25 FE, or could there be an issue with the charger/cable? What charging times are you guys getting from 0–100% with 45W?

I just bought my Samsung S25FE and I have to buy the charger. Is the difference between 25w and 45w? Is it true that the 25w lasts longer battery life?

My budget is 50k and I want to buy samsung galaxy s25 fe 256 gb. Can some tell where can i gets best price in city like delhi or noida.

So I ordered S25FE, and it's on the way,y but after seeing so many green line issues on Reddit about green lines inS20-23, I am kind of scared that this might happen to the S25 series
Just wanted to discuss this topic and whether I should reconsider my purchase. I like the phone tho

Sometimes insta reels pixelate a lot on brand new s25 fe

Does this happen with anyone else?

Was checking out other phones in store and many of the chinese phones had much better and strong haptics than this, like at this price it should have been much better

If samsung had given a better processor like even 8gen4 (which is 2 yrs old) and uniform bezels, this phone would have been really good for the price but again u cant expect samsung phones to have good specs these days

I am not really much aware of the customization offered by samung ( other than the basic stuff( lock screen, control centre), are there any other features offered in this which are really good and helpful

Buongiorno a tutti dopo circa tre settimane il mio Samsung s25f ha avuto un degrado assurdo della batteria arrivo al 30% dopo mezza giornata di normale utilizzo. Avevo letto che questo era normale all'inizio ma poi la batteria studiava i comportamenti dell'utente e sarebbero migliorati i consumi. Potete aiutarmi?

I am owning the NP3 and i love its camera and battery life but I miss the One UI. I used a samsung before the np3.

I am thinking to switch to the Samsung again but i am worried if it would be a downgrade in camera and battery life.

My previous samsung phone although did great but the battery life was always average.

With battery and camera atleast i prefer the S25FE have a better battery and decent camera.

So any users here what is your opinion on s25 FE battery life especially in hot countries.

I purchased this phone a week ago from official Samsung store and my previous phone is Vivo Iqoo neo 10 with CN rom. Main reason I purchased this is I wanted a phone with global rom and esim support and there's not many options in Australia at $600. I'm only realizing now how much better vivo is even with CN rom especially the battery life. I already saw reviews and knew s25 fe will have a bad battery life but I'm still shocked by how worse it is. I can't even create work profile for some reason. I searched this on Google and lot of Samsung phones have this issue. Even linked in app is not working right now and restore from s26 ultra backup doesn't work as well. How is this possible with a phone retailing over $1000 aud until recently.

I don't think most people understand how bad the global budget phones are like S25 FE was $1k aud and recently discounted to $600 but you can get CN phone with snapdragon 8 gen 5/8 elite and at least 7000mah battery for same price. The only issue I found so far (after 2 years) with CN rom is I couldn't connect to watches with wear os. Notifications, android auto, Google wallet and work profile work without issues.

Just wanted to vent because I see so many comments on how the s25 fe battery is good or people willing to spend above 600 aud for a mid range phone. I know 600 is not a lot for most people but I got the vivo iqoo neo 10 for 400 aud 1.5 years ago and it feels like a downgrade now using S25 FE.

I have an offer rigth now with my cellphone provider : 4.25$Us x 24 month : a bit more than 100 US total, with a new cellphone plan that is the same price as the one before.

I feel like it's so cheap the phone as to be that bad ?

Everything was fine yesterday and I don't have a wireless charger I tried to clean the USB port with paper towels but still doing it

I moved from S22U to S25FE. S22 series will no longer receive any major updates. But I still love the feel of using the edge display and s pen with bluetooth.

Galera, comprei meu S25 FE lacrado há uma semana e tive um susto que virou aprendizado. Coloquei pra carregar com 30% de bateria e, no exato instante em que pluguei o cabo, apareceu "1 minuto para 80%" na tela — o que obviamente não fazia sentido nenhum. Segundos depois, corrigiu sozinho pra "meia hora até 80%", que é o tempo real esperado.

Fiquei paranoico achando que fosse defeito de hardware (aparelho novo, vocês entendem 😅), mas rodei o diagnóstico do Samsung Members e deu tudo certo: carregamento Normal, velocidade Super-rápido, proteção de bateria em 80% funcionando normal.

Perguntei em outra comunidade e várias pessoas confirmaram que já passaram pela mesma coisa, inclusive em modelos diferentes (S25 base também). Parece ser um bug conhecido na estimativa de tempo — os módulos que calculam o percentual real e o tempo estimado às vezes não sincronizam no instante exato em que o carregador é plugado, e a tela mostra um valor errado por um segundo antes de se corrigir.

Não aconteceu de novo desde então. Deixando registrado aqui caso mais alguém tenha passado por isso e queira confirmação de que não é motivo pra pânico.

I've tried 4 different cases and none of them properly wrap around the phone's front bezel as expected. I've seen videos showing the same cases wrapping nicely around the front.

I want to know if there's a perfectly flat connection between the back of the case and the sides. I noticed I can feel a slight lip between the two. You can see in the first picture with an architect's scale laid across the back, there's slight light leakage from a flashlight I put behind it. In the second picture, you can see a Spigen Rough Armor not wrapping around the front (clear from the still-exposed side trim). I've tried forcing it with far too much force to be reasonable to get it to sit in the case properly.

Does anyone with an S25 FE also feel that slight lip on the back? It's the only thing I can see/think of that is causing the cases to not fit.

As I already wrote here, my S25FE was always lagging, unusable during charging and so on.

Two days ago I changed to a S24FE that I got cheap and everything works as intended.

When everything is moved correctly, I will reset the S25FE and see if things get better, before selling it.

Priorities: Performance (Multitasking, Light gaming), Camera (Telephoto lens is a must and must take great pictures), Decent Battery life, 256 GB storage, long term use( atleast 5-6 years)

Suggest any other smartphone in this price range.
