Samsung Galaxy S25 update just made owning a Samsung phone far more affordable

Been put off buying the latest Galaxy S25 by its price? There's good news as the Korean technolgy giant has just announced the launch of a new model that's a little bit cheaper. In fact, the Galaxt S25 FE now starts from just £649 - that's a whopping £150 less than the standard Galaxy S25 and almost half the price of the S25 Ultra.

So, what do you get for your money?

Despite its lower cost, the Galaxy S25 FE comes packed with upgrades, including a pin-sharp 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and triple lens rear camera with 50MP main lens plus Ultra Wide and Telephoto options.

Tucked under the body is a 4,900mAh battery with fast charging and, to help it stand the test of time, it's surrounded by an enhanced Armor Aluminum frame.

Those who love gaming and pushing their phones to the limit, there's a bigger vapour chamber to keep things cool.

Of course, like all modern smartphones, it features plenty of intelligence. Galaxy AI comes built in, which can automatically improve your photos and even remove unwanted background noise from videos via the Audio Eraser function.

It also features access to Google's clever Gemini Live, which lets you chat to the device like a real person.

To help guide you through the day there's Samsung's Now Bar and Now Brief, who show personalised updates on the screen.

Sound enticing?

The Galaxy S25 FE is available from today.

It comes in Icy blue, Jet black, Navy, and White. To make things more eye-catching, Samsung is offering some eye-catching deals including a guaranteed £100 off when trading in a current phone. There's also the option to claim a Galaxy Watch7 worth £239 for free.
