If these 2 phones are so 1 and nan same, past we person immoderate thought of nan Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim’s specs, arsenic nan Galaxy S25 FE is rumored to person a 6.7-inch surface and an Exynos 2400 chipset.

The remaining specs of this telephone are unknown, but to make it thinner, location would apt beryllium sacrifices successful different areas, possibly starring to a smaller artillery aliases less cameras, for example.
