Samsung Galaxy S26 FE vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
Our take
A small step. The S26 FE gets the newer Exynos 2500 chip, which is faster and runs cooler than the S25 FE's Exynos 2400. Screen, cameras and battery barely change, and it launched at a higher price.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE
If you're paying full price and play games, or keep a phone for many years. The cooler, faster chip is what you're paying for, and its seven years of updates start a year later.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE
On a good discount it's the better deal. The screen, the 3x camera and the 4,900 mAh battery are the same, and you only give up the newer chip and one year of updates.
