Samsung is widely tipped to use a year-old Exynos chip for the Galaxy S25 FE, but a new report points to an interesting backup plan.

Rumors suggest the Galaxy S25 FE might use the Exynos 2400e, like its predecessor. However, Samsung has the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9400 as a backup option. The final choice will likely depend on cost and Samsung Foundry’s production capacity. The Galaxy S25 FE is still expected in late 2025.

The Galaxy S25 FE chipset details have been leaked suggesting Samsung could turn to MediaTek for the processor on its next Fan Edition phone.
