The arrival of the Galaxy S25 FE today (September 4) makes me question now more than ever if Samsung should finally let go of its Plus-sized flagship phone. I got to spend some brief hands-on time with the Galaxy S25 FE, and just like last year’s FE, this new version packs nearly everything that Samsung offers in one of its full-fledged flagships — but at a much lower, more agreeable cost.

You can buy the Galaxy S25 FE right now for $649, which makes it way more attractive than the $999 cost attached to the current Galaxy S25 Plus. In my Galaxy S25 FE hands-on review, I’ll tell you why they’re so similar and why I’m inclined to say that the S25 FE is the far better choice at this point.
