A Geekbench listing has settled rumors about the Galaxy S25 FE’s chipset, confirming it will use the Exynos 2400, not the 2400e or MediaTek Dimensity 9400.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE, codenamed SM-S731U, is shaping up as an affordable flagship for late 2025, and a recent Geekbench listing has clarified its chipset. Initial rumors pointed to the Exynos 2400e, used in the Galaxy S24 FE, or a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 as a backup due to Exynos production issues. However, the leak reveals the standard Exynos 2400, the same 10-core chip (1x 3.2GHz Cortex-X4, 2x 2.9GHz Cortex-A720, 3x 2.6GHz Cortex-A720, 4x 1.96GHz Cortex-A520) that powered the Galaxy S24 and S24+ globally.
The difference between the Exynos 2400 and 2400e is minor, with the latter’s prime core slightly underclocked at 3.11GHz. Scoring 2064 single-core and 6899 multi-core on Geekbench 6, the S25 FE’s performance mirrors the S24 FE, suggesting no noticeable real-world upgrade.
While software optimizations in One UI 8 might offer some gains, the S24 FE will also receive the same updates soon—and likely perform neck and neck with its successor. That’s not exactly encouraging for buyers looking forward to the S25 FE.
The chip’s Xclipse 940 GPU and ray-tracing support are described as “solid” for gaming. However, it’s worth noting that image processing, system animations, and other aspects of “everyday use” are becoming increasingly demanding too.
Expected in September or October 2025, the S25 FE also reportedly retains many other specs of the S24 FE, such as the display resolution and camera setup. Could software optimizations give it an edge during the first few months before the update reaches its predecessor? Most likely, yes. Will it be cheaper than the predecessor? Let’s see.
