Anonymous, 30 Aug 2026The only FE model that made sense was S20 FE, rest are just... moreThe S20 FE, A52s, and A22 4G were some of the best value, most influential Samsung phones of all time, especially if you look at modern Samsung. However, my parents upgraded from the A52s to an Honor 600 as I encouraged them not to buy another Samsung. I have an A34 but plan to get an Oppo flagship if I have the money in 2-3 years.

          Where is the Pool GsmArena? Just in the comments?
          I prefer the S25 edge used just because of the snapdragon. The new FE is Tempting but pricy...like all the new releses...

            I never understand the S FE (Fan Edition) series. Especially cause they use the largest size of their screen option for these too. Market is full of all sorts of Androids with tablet size screens so why would anyone even care for the FE series when by the time these come out the S 2X+ version price have already dropped to that point where it's probably cheaper then the FE

              Haters gonna hate but few months later they will say it's better to get s26 fe over A58 or S27 fe. Because more than 90% of the World population only criticise the things we can't afford (Definition of POVERTY). I have s25 fe so I will not tell anyone not to buy s26 fe because they said the same thing about s25 fe not being a better choice over s24 fe. Buy it now or not same story, same cycle next year.

                      Even if someone gives it to you for free, you should definitely ask them "Why don't you like me?"

                          It's fine for B2B and carrier deals, but Samsungs (and Pixels) tend to have better sales than the iPhones in general so it probably won't have the impact in that market that the 16e and 17e did even though Samsung (and more recent Pixel a series phones) have been doing it far longer.

                            S26 FE is great, but the only annoying thing is the usb port downgraded to usb 2.0 :(

                              No snapdragon = no deal.

                                justasmile, 30 Aug 2026We had been mentioning S25 FE, what about S25 Plus for the ... moreLooks like everyone forgets the Plus model exists. Maybe that is why they do not sell that much. I actually as well forgot of the existence of 25+ and S26+, despite having S23+ in the past. :D

                                  We had been mentioning S25 FE, what about S25 Plus for the same price?

                                      Samsung just became Apple with Android. Only thing that sucks for them (and is good for us), unlike Apple, they don't have a monopoly with their OS system.
                                      Remember Internet Explorer with their 95% usage share? Everyone can fall, it just takes longer for the bigger guys.
