Samsung S25 FE vs. Samsung S24 FE: A Comparative Analysis

Samsung S25 FE vs. Samsung S24 FE: A Comparative Analysis

At iLevante.com, we don?t just sell products; we live and breathe hardware. We know your purchase decision isn't just based on marketing, but on tangible reality: How does it feel in the hand? How fast does it charge? And most importantly for our community: How easy will it be to repair when the battery's lifespan begins to fail, or an untimely drop cracks the screen?

The Battle of the "Fan Edition": Evolution or Revolution?

The "FE" line has always been Samsung's answer to a simple question: "Can you give me flagship features without the flagship price?" To achieve this, Samsung makes strategic cost cuts. Sometimes they hit the mark, and sometimes... well, let's just say they create opportunities for the spare parts market.

This year, the difference is more noticeable than ever. The S24 FE was a powerful but somewhat clunky workhorse. The S25 FE, on the other hand, seems to have taken feedback to heart, focusing on ergonomics, charging speed, and crucially, internal repairability. Let's tear them apart, piece by piece.

Ultimate Comparison Chart: S25 FE vs S24 FE (Hardware Data)

Forget endless spec sheets. Here are the technical specs that matter, especially if you're looking for parts like the EB-BS721ABY battery for the S24 FE or the new S25 FE display. Key changes are highlighted.

Combat Summary: What Do These Numbers Mean?

The table makes it clear: what DIDN?T change is as important as what did. Both screens are, on paper, identical: 6.7 inches, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, and 1900 nits of peak brightness. The 50MP rear camera for Samsung S24 FE, 12MP ultrawide back camera Samsung S24 FE, and 8MP Telephoto system are also identical in hardware. Any photography improvement in the S25 FE will come from processing on its new chip, not new sensors.

The first major win of the S25 FE lies in the dynamic duo: battery and charging. Not only do we see a modest increase of 200mAh (4700mAh vs. 4900mAh), but the leap in charging speed is monumental. The S24 FE remains at 25W, an outdated standard that takes 30 minutes to give you 50% charge. The S25 FE jumps to 45W, reaching 65% in the same 30 minutes. That is less time plugged in and more battery life.

The most noticeable difference when holding them will be ergonomics. The S24 FE is a chunky phone, labeled by some as "bulky," with 8.0 mm thickness and a substantial weight of 213 grams. The S25 FE is the result of a strict diet: dropping to just 190 grams and 7.4 mm thickness. Those 23 grams make a tremendous difference in your pocket and your hand. It?s not a slight adjustment; it?s a complete chassis redesign.

Finally, the brain. We see an iterative update. The S24 FE uses the Exynos 2400e, while the S25 FE uses the standard Exynos 2400. In practice, the "2400e" is simply an underclocked version of the 2400 (3.1 GHz vs. 3.2 GHz). Both are 10-core flagship chips at 4nm, far more powerful than the S23 FE and its Exynos 2200.

Top Features: Why Choose One Over the Other?

Here?s where we separate buyers. Your choice will depend on whether you value more modern refinement or proven value.

? Samsung S25 FE Wins (The Refinement)

• 45W Fast Charging: Let?s be honest, 25W on a 6.7-inch phone in 2024 (S24 FE) was already insufficient. The 45W of the S25 FE isn?t a luxury; it?s the new standard. It?s the difference between "leaving it to charge overnight" and "giving it a quick boost" before heading out.
• Superior Ergonomics and Premium Design: A difference of 23 grams is no joke. The S24 FE is heavy (213g), and you notice it. The S25 FE (190g) feels like a device from a completely different generation. It?s thinner, lighter, and its "Armor Aluminum" frame feels better and is more resistant.
• Optimized Internal Hardware: The S25 FE isn?t just faster on paper; it?s designed to stay fast. It includes a vapor chamber 10-14% larger than the S24 FE?s. This means better sustained performance in gaming and heavy tasks without the dreaded thermal throttling (performance reduction due to heat). Moreover, the selfie camera gets a well-deserved boost to 12MP (20% more resolution than the S24 FE?s 10MP) for sharper video calls and photos.

? Samsung S24 FE Wins (The Smart Value)

• Price: It?s the strongest argument. As a model from the previous year, the S24 FE will see aggressive discounts. You?re getting a phone that competes head-to-head with the S25 FE in key aspects (screen and rear cameras) for much less money.
• REAL Flagship-Level Performance: Don?t let the "e" in Exynos 2400e fool you! This chip is a beast. Benchmarks (Geekbench 6) place the S24 FE (score of 2040) incredibly close to the S24+ (2201). It?s drastically faster than the S23 FE (1611) and wipes the floor with the A-series (A55 - 1142). You?re not buying a mid-range device; you?re buying a high-end device with 90-95% of the Plus model?s performance at a fraction of the cost.
• Mature and Proven Spare Parts Ecosystem: This is where we at iLevante speak. A phone that?s been on the market for a year is an open book. We know its strengths and, more importantly, its weaknesses. Parts (screens, batteries, ports) are easy to find, available, and the problems (which we?ll discuss next) are well-known... and 100% solvable. This makes it a safe and sustainable long-term option.

Hardware Analysis: The B-Side of Your Phone (Focused on iLevante Spare Parts)

As your trusted store for spare parts, let?s analyze the most common failing components. This is where the true difference between these two phones becomes evident.

Display: The ?Green Line? on the S24 FE and Victus+ Durability

Both phones use a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. Durability against drops and scratches should be identical. If you drop it, the screen will crack just the same on both. And for that, at iLevante, we already have the Complete Screen S24 FE and the screen for the S25 FE (SM-S731B).

But let?s talk about the elephant in the room: the "Green Line of Death". This is undoubtedly the most sought-after and dreaded hardware failure in Samsung phones with AMOLED screens.

• The Symptom: You wake up one day, or right after a software update, and a bright green vertical line has appeared on your screen. It doesn?t go away.
• Root Cause (The Technical Secret): Many users blame the software update (One UI). But they?re wrong. The update is just the catalyst, not the cause. The real problem is a hardware failure. The software update consumes a lot of CPU and generates heat. That heat (or the heat from intensive charging) can be enough to degrade or melt the adhesive and microsoldering of the flex cable connecting the screen to the motherboard. The connection fails and... the line appears.
• The Solution: Since it?s a hardware issue, no reboot, safe mode, or factory reset will fix it. The only solution is a hardware replacement. You need a new screen for your S24 FE.

Battery and Charging Port: The Achilles? Heel of the S24 FE

The second most common point of failure is power. Many S24 FE users report faster-than-expected battery drain. Sometimes, this is due to software or background apps. But after a year or two of use, it?s simple hardware degradation. The S24 FE uses the battery model EB-BS721ABY (4700mAh), while the S25 FE uses the EB-BS936ABE (4900mAh).
