Samsung Launches Cheaper S25 Phone and Upgraded Tablets

Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a $650 version of its premium S25 smartphone and a pair of new tablets, the latest effort to roll out artificial intelligence features across its hardware lineup.

The new phone, the S25 FE, short for "fan edition," uses the same aluminum materials and selfie camera as the $800-plus Galaxy S25, but Samsung forfeited a faster-performing chip and some camera capabilities to keep the price down. Samsung also announced two tablets, the $800 Galaxy Tab S11 and the $1,200 Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. All three gadgets are thinner than their predecessors, and the tablets also add a revamped S Pen, Samsung’s equivalent to the Apple Pencil.
