It’s here. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE, a phone that impresses in many ways and serves as an affordable alternative to the more feature-packed Galaxy S25 series. While I believe the phone is a solid purchase, the more important question for many is whether it’s worth upgrading to from last year’s Galaxy S24 FE.
In short, the answer is no. The days when a yearly smartphone upgrade made sense for most people are long gone. The incremental changes between generations are simply not significant enough to justify the cost. I’ll explain exactly why that is and which phone you should consider buying if you’re truly fed up with your Galaxy S24 FE.
