  • Samsung is apparently considering the Dimensity 9400 chip for the Galaxy S25 FE as a backup plan.
  • The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to come with the year-old Exynos 2400e processor.
  • However, Samsung could reportedly switch to the Dimensity processor if it can’t produce enough Exynos chips.

Samsung has offered the Galaxy FE series of phones since 2020, giving people a more affordable way to experience a flagship Android phone. We’ve seen plenty of Galaxy S25 FE rumors in recent months, and it looks like another leak has surfaced online.

The Galaxy S25 FE is tipped to arrive with last year’s Samsung Exynos 2400e chipset. However, a “reliable source” told Notebookcheck that Samsung plans to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip in the Galaxy S25 FE if it can’t produce enough Exynos processors. The website characterized this as a “backup plan.”
