IIE DIGITAL DESK : Leaks around Samsung’s Fan Edition for 2025 have sharpened into a clearer picture this week: tipster posts that circulated on Threads reveal official accessory prices and confirm much of the rumoured hardware, ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4. According to the coverage, the leak shows Samsung’s official Clear Case listed at about EUR 30, a Silicone Case at EUR 40, a Rugged Case at EUR 49, a Standing Grip Case at EUR 55 and a Kindsuit Case at EUR 60, while an anti-reflective screen film is also shown at roughly EUR 30 — pricing that, when converted, places many accessories in the ₹3,000–₹6,000 range in India and signals Samsung’s push to sell premium-feeling add-ons alongside the handset. 

The same reports consolidate earlier rumours about the S25 FE’s core specification set: the phone is expected to carry a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, and to ship with Android 15 skinned by One UI 7. Internals are tipped to include an Exynos 2400 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and a 4,900mAh battery, along with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor — a hardware mix that positions the FE model as a near-flagship experience with a modest cost compromise.

Camera details in the leak point to a triple rear system built around a 50-megapixel main sensor, joined by a 12MP ultra-wide and an 8MP 3x telephoto lens, plus a 12MP front shooter; those optics, combined with the display and battery figures, explain why leaks place the S25 FE’s international pricing in the mid-to-upper premium segment. Published price estimates show the US SRP at $649.99 for the 128GB model and $709.99 for 256GB, with some European listings floating around EUR 789.99 for the base trim and South Korean pricing expected to come in below KRW 1 million (roughly ₹63,200), numbers that will be the real test of demand when Samsung makes the phone official. 

Taken together, the accessories pricing, hardware rumours and the region-by-region price indications sketch Samsung’s strategy for the S25 FE: deliver much of the S25 flagship polish while using the FE branding to reach a broader audience, and monetise the ecosystem through mid-priced official accessories. Consumers watching the September 4 Unpacked event will want to compare the confirmed specifications, local pricing and accessory bundles against competing mid-flagship offers — and keep an eye on launch promotions that often shift the effective street price soon after announcement.
