Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled its latest smartphone and tablet lineup, the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Tab S11 series, at the IFA trade show in Berlin, Germany, on Thursday (local time).

The Galaxy S25 FE is positioned as a more affordable model within the Galaxy S family. It comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and is powered by the Exynos 2400 processor. For the first time in the series, the device features a 12-megapixel front camera. Its artificial intelligence-based ProVisual Engine allows users to capture clear and vivid photos and videos in a variety of settings. AI editing tools such as Photo Assist and generative editing add further convenience for users.

The phone also includes a vapor chamber that is more than 10 percent larger than the previous model, helping with heat control, and a 4,900mAh high-capacity battery. The Galaxy S25 FE will launch in Korea on September 19, with pricing to be announced at release.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series is powered by MediaTek Inc.’s Dimensity 9400+ application processor. The flagship model, the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, is the thinnest and most powerful tablet Samsung has ever released in this lineup. Compared with its predecessor, central processing unit (CPU) performance is up about 24 percent, graphic processing unit (GPU) performance by 27 percent, and neural processing unit (NPU) performance by 33 percent. With a thickness of just 5.1 millimeters, it is even slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which measures 5.8 millimeters.

Samsung has also optimized the Tab S11 series for AI functions suited to large-screen tablets. Its drawing assist feature can turn simple sketches into detailed, high-quality illustrations. Images generated through AI can be moved directly into Samsung Notes with drag-and-drop functionality.

The series includes a newly designed S Pen with a pencil-like hexagonal shape that improves grip and continues to support Samsung DeX, which lets a smartphone or tablet connect to an external monitor, mouse, or keyboard to serve as a portable workstation.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series will also be released in Korea on September 19. Prices for the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will range from 1.6 million won ($1,148) to 2.4 million won.
