Since the Fe model is considered a toned-down version of the series. Similarly, when we were expecting minor glasses, the new report indicates an unprecedented upgradation. According to a report by Notebookchak, which cites sources of anonymous industry, Samsung is considering equipping the upcoming Galaxy S25 Fe with MediaTek’s Demistance 9400 chipset. While the Exynos 2400E is the preferred option, the production capacity issues in the Samsung Foundry can force the company to adopt MediaTek’s silicon as a contingency.

The final hardware decision is expected to be hinged on market conditions close to launch. Although Demistance appears to perform better than EXYNOS 2400E on 9400 paper, Samsung is likely to increase its own chip to increase its foundry business and avoid high manufacturing costs associated with TSMC, which produces MediaTek chips.
