Samsung is set to release its budget-friendly flagship, the Galaxy S25 FE. Initially, it was expected that this device would come equipped with the Exynos 2400e SoC, the same processor used in its predecessor. However, new information has surfaced suggesting that Samsung might also be looking at the Dimensity 9400 as an alternative. A recent listing on Geekbench has clarified these rumors.
Geekbench Insights
The Galaxy S25 FE (model SM-S731U) appeared on Geekbench featuring the original Exynos 2400 SoC, not the Exynos 2400e. While the difference between the two chips is minimal, with the latter having a slightly quicker Prime CPU core, it can be said that the Galaxy S25 FE is a step up. However, in day-to-day usage, you may not notice much of a difference compared to the Galaxy S24 FE.
Shared Technology
Notably, both the Galaxy S25 FE and the Galaxy Z Flip FE will utilize the same SoC. This decision appears to be a strategic move to save costs, especially since Samsung likely has leftover Exynos 2400 dies from the previous year. Overall, the Exynos 2400 is a capable chip that performs better than its predecessors. Unfortunately, this version of the Galaxy S25 FE still comes with just 8 GB of RAM, though it does run on Android 16 customized with One UI 8.0.
