Samsung has had a busy year of phone launches so far, not only announcing the Galaxy S25 series at the beginning of the year, followed by the Galaxy A56 in March, but it also very recently released the super slim Galaxy S25 Edge .

We aren’t even half way through the year and there are already seven new Samsung Galaxy phones to choose from, but if you thought that was it for 2025, think again.

There’s more to come and we don’t just mean in terms of the company’s foldable phones , which are expected by the end of the summer in the form of at least the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . The Fan Edition – or FE model – of the Galaxy S25 is also rumored however, and the latest report suggests it could see a nice upgrade.

What could the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE offer?

According to GalaxyClub – which has a pretty decent track record when it comes to Samsung rumors – the Galaxy S25 FE is claimed to be getting an improved front facing camera. It’s said the 2025 FE device will feature a 12-megapixel front camera, matching the resolution of the Galaxy S25 , Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra , though it’s not clear if it’s the same sensor at the moment.

Still, your selfies should at least see some improvements compared to the Galaxy S24 FE , which has a 10-megapixel front camera. In terms of the other camera specs on the Galaxy S25 FE, GalaxyClub claims the main camera will be a 50-megapixel sensor like the Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy S24 FE and the regular Galaxy S models that have launched since the Galaxy S22.

For now, nothing is confirmed by Samsung of course but we’re always here for improvements, not matter how small and especially ones that can make our face look a little better (we hope). As for when the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE might make an appearance, it’s expected in the latter half of the year so it’s likely the company’s foldables will be first.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 on test: a sudden cinematic twist

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 playing content on a table

I've been reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 for nearly a week now, and, being honest, I've struggled with the adaptation.

This is the first time I've ever used a clamshell foldable phone, and even though I like the form factor, it just feels too… squat.

I tested the Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera, it’s almost as good as S25 Ultra

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 represents a significant upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and previous generations. It's thinner and lighter with bigger displays and excellent performance. It's an incredible upgrade on many fronts, and as we found in our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, it's the best folding phone for most people, despite its shortcomings.

One of these is the camera, although it's a complicated situation. In designing the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung aimed to create a device that offers a similar experience to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but with a foldable design. On the design front, they've achieved that - it's just 0.7mm thicker, although it feels thinner due to its three grams of weight reduction. However, on the camera, it's a mixed bag.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has me excited for Samsung’s Galaxy G Fold tri-fold

Samsung Flex G display concept in two sizes.

After months of leaks built a lot of anticipation, Samsung finally unveiled its vastly improved Galaxy Z Fold 7 last week. I've spent eight days with it, and as I found in our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, it's the best folding phone for most people despite its shortcomings. Samsung's new folding phone is its best yet, offering radical improvements in design, display, and hinge to create the first folding phone that feels no different from a regular smartphone when folded.

Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung announced the new Galaxy Z Flip 7, the Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 range. Yet, the expectation was that Samsung would also provide a sneak peek, like it did with the Galaxy S25 Edge at the Galaxy S25 launch, of its first product in another category: a Tri-folding phone with dual hinges that is expected to be called the Galaxy G Fold.
