Samsung plans to reuse its Exynos 2400 chip for the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE phone. Recent tests show the device running on this processor with 8GB of memory. This almost two-year-old chip offers the same performance as the current S24 FE model. Samsung might struggle to attract buyers when competitors offer newer technology at similar prices.
The company faces chip supply problems for its latest Exynos 2500, which started production earlier this year. Samsung saves the limited supply of new chips for its premium Galaxy Z Flip 7. Using MediaTek Dimensity 9400 could have given the S25 FE better computing power and artificial intelligence features. Samsung must keep costs down to compete against phones using the newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processors.
Samsung watches its profits carefully when making these decisions. The company needs to balance using leftover parts against customer satisfaction. Phone buyers may skip this model when they discover it uses older technology. Samsung risks losing sales to rivals who offer more modern features. The company must price the S25 FE very competitively to overcome these challenges.
