Samsung's Plan B: Even Better?

  • Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S25 FE between September and November 2025 as an affordable variant in the Fan Edition lineup.
  • This plan follows production issues with Samsung Foundry’s Exynos 2400e chip, which was originally intended to power the S25 FE.
  • As a backup, Samsung considers using MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 chipset, which offers higher performance and better power efficiency than the Exynos 2400e.
  • The Dimensity 9400 provides a 35% single-core performance boost and 40% improved power efficiency, but may raise manufacturing costs and increase dependency on external suppliers.
  • Samsung's first preference remains the Exynos 2400e to maintain cost control and internal revenue, but the potential chip switch could affect the S25 FE’s market appeal and production schedule.
