Samsung sets stage for September 4 Galaxy Event
Samsung has officially scheduled a Galaxy Event for September 4, timed just before IFA 2025 in Berlin. The livestream will start at 11:30 AM CEST (3:00 PM IST) and will be available on Samsung.com and YouTube. Early teasers emphasize Galaxy AI as a core theme, but leaked hardware details indicate the company will also introduce new phones and tablets that expand its mobile ecosystem.
Galaxy S25 FE teaser
What to expect: Galaxy S25 FE and two tablets
Reports and certification listings point to the Galaxy S25 FE as one of the headline devices. The model has appeared in Google Play Console entries under model number SM-S731B, suggesting hardware that targets the mid-to-high end segment. Alongside the S25 FE, a refreshed Galaxy Tab S11 lineup — likely with an 11-inch base model and a larger 14.6-inch Ultra — is expected to appear.
Key specifications (leaked)
Leaked listings and certification documents indicate the Galaxy S25 FE will include:
- An Exynos 2400 chipset variant in some markets
- 8GB of RAM and an FHD+ display
- A 4,900mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging
- An estimated price around $649, positioning it as a “budget flagship” within the S25 family
- Android 16 and Samsung’s One UI 8 out of the box
Galaxy Tab S11: processor and display
The rumored Tab S11 series is expected to ship with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ processor, a performance boost over the previous generation’s Dimensity 9300+. The lineup appears to be split between an 11-inch standard model and a 14.6-inch Ultra variant, a strategy that mirrors Samsung’s approach to providing both portability and large-screen productivity within a single generation.
Features, advantages and real-world use cases
Galaxy S25 FE: balanced performance and battery life
With a near-flagship chipset like the Exynos 2400, 8GB RAM, and a large 4,900mAh battery, the S25 FE looks aimed at users who want flagship features without flagship price. The FHD+ display should deliver smooth media and gaming performance while helping extend battery life. Fast 45W charging will appeal to road warriors and heavy users who need quick top-ups between meetings or travel.
Tab S11: productivity and media consumption
The Tab S11 series appears optimized for creators, remote workers and multimedia fans. The 14.6-inch Ultra model is likely to target users who want laptop-like productivity with tablet convenience, especially when paired with an S Pen and keyboard accessories. The Dimensity 9400+ suggests stronger multi-core performance for content editing and multitasking.
Comparisons: S25 FE vs. S25 flagship models
Compared to the S25 flagship phones, the FE variant traditionally trades a few premium materials or camera bells and whistles for a lower price point while keeping core performance and software features intact. In this case, the S25 FE aims to serve as Samsung’s budget flagship — delivering flagship-level chipset performance, timely Android 16 updates, and One UI 8 enhancements, but at a more accessible price around $649.
Market relevance and strategy
Launching the S25 FE and Tab S11 ahead of or during IFA 2025 allows Samsung to set the narrative around Galaxy AI and its broader ecosystem improvements. Shipping these devices with Android 16 and One UI 8 early could accelerate adoption of Samsung’s AI services across phones and tablets, encouraging developers and partners to optimize apps for the new software features. The timing also positions Samsung to capture both consumers looking for value-focused flagship devices and professionals seeking productivity hardware for hybrid work.
Conclusion: what to watch on September 4
Expect the September 4 stream to clarify final product names, regional chipset variations, camera setups and official pricing. If leaks are accurate, the Galaxy S25 FE will be the standout mid-range contender with flagship-aligned performance, while the Tab S11 family will reinforce Samsung’s tablet leadership with larger, more capable screens and faster processors. With Galaxy AI also likely to play a major role, the event should reveal how Samsung intends to weave AI-driven features across phones, tablets and services this fall.
