It’s been a busy yr for Samsung in the case of new {hardware}. At IFA 2025, the Korean tech large revealed the Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy Tab S11, and Galaxy Tab S11 Extremely, increasing its cell lineup with a extra accessible model of the flagship Galaxy S25 and two highly effective new tablets.
The Galaxy S25 FE is the most recent in Samsung’s line of cheaper FE flagships, condensing the important options of the Galaxy S25 into a less expensive handset, with a bigger 6.7-inch show, a triple-camera system, and full entry to the Galaxy AI suite.
As for the brand new tablets, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Extremely comply with on from final yr’s Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Galaxy Tab S10 Extremely. The common Galaxy Tab S11 returns to an 11-inch type issue, whereas the Galaxy Tab S11 Extremely sports activities an impressively large 14.6-inch show.
Each tablets are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and once more provide full assist for Galaxy AI with extra options tailor-made to the pill type issue. AI shaped a significant a part of the model’s messaging surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldables launched earlier this yr, and Samsung has more and more centered on AI with every subsequent launch.
To search out out extra concerning the model’s newest units and plans to carry Galaxy AI to hundreds of thousands extra customers, I hopped on a name with Cell Expertise (MX) VP of Product and Advertising at Samsung UK, Annika Bizon, and Smartphone Product Specialist at Samsung MX, Kadesh Beckford.
‘You get the total Galaxy AI expertise’ – Galaxy S25 FE
The Galaxy S25 FE occupies a middle-ground between the most costly A-series telephones and the flagship Galaxy S25 FE – on paper, it appears to be like like a reasonably whole lot for individuals who is likely to be contemplating both choice.
Right here at TechRadar, we check all of the greatest Samsung telephones to search out out which customers may profit from every particular machine. However what does Samsung itself assume?
“You get the total Galaxy AI expertise in the case of the FE,” stated Beckford. “With the A-series, you’ve gotten what we name Superior Intelligence, which is nice for modifying photos and making different fine-tune modifications to your content material. While you wish to get dwell translation, full multimodal capabilities, and so forth, that’s all been applied into the S25 FE with no compromises.”
Beckford was additionally eager to emphasize the {hardware} specs of the brand new handset: “With that 6.7-inch show on the FE, you’ve bought a bigger screen-to-body ratio. It’s simply over 90%, the place you are about 87% on its predecessor.”
He added: “The S25 FE is even slimmer than earlier than – we’ve trimmed it down by 0.6mm, so now it’s 7.4mm thick versus 8mm on the S24 FE.”
The telephone additionally boasts a brand new 12MP selfie digital camera and bigger vapor chamber in comparison with final yr’s mannequin, in addition to the Exynos 2400 chipset and a triple digital camera array that impressed us throughout our hands-on Galaxy S25 FE evaluation.
“It is tremendous highly effective,” he added, “[and] we’ve truly put an even bigger battery in it. We’ve improved the telephone’s battery by 200mAh to 4,900mAh, and it has 45W tremendous quick charging. I can recover from 65% in simply half-hour”.
Beckford’s solutions recommend Samsung is making sensible {hardware} enhancements with the aim of attracting those that favor a premium expertise, whereas additionally specializing in the kind of AI options we noticed with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 earlier this yr – although I didn’t get a particular reply as as to whether the S25 FE is “for” anyone person.
‘That is going to final the check of time’ – Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Extremely
As for the brand new tablets, the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy S11 Extremely, Samsung has centered on {hardware} efficiency, and Beckford mentions that the brand new tablets boast 28% higher CPU efficiency and a 21% sooner NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for AI duties.
He added that the brand new tablets are designed for longevity: “Each of those are thinner, with large battery capacities – you’ve bought 11,600mAh within the Extremely. Meaning [these products] are going to final the check of time, particularly with IP68 water and dirt resistance.”
The brand new tablets additionally include a reworked DeX mode, which strikes even nearer to a laptop-style expertise. With iPadOS 26, and its Mac-style expertise for iPads, proper across the nook, I requested Annika Bizon for Samsung’s tackle the pill versus desktop debate.
“I might say it is truly about how you utilize a tool,” Bizon defined. “I exploit [a tablet] with my laptop computer quite a bit. Typically I will be sat there and I will have my notes on one [screen] utilizing Samsung DeX beside the PC once I’m truly doing, you recognize, a Groups name, or so on. So I believe it is all about your private selection and consumption.”
Bizon continued: “We do not need individuals to cease utilizing laptops, and we do not need individuals to simply use tablets. We wish them to make use of them nevertheless they wish to use them and, essentially, more often than not collectively.”
‘The aim is to make Galaxy AI accessible to as many individuals as doable’ – Galaxy AI
Amidst all of the specs and situations, Beckford shared one in all Samsung’s main targets for the final stretch of 2025: “You will have seen on stage, Annika shared that we’ve at present bought 200 million Galaxy AI customers – by the tip of the yr, with units just like the FE, that’s going to go as much as 400 million customers.”
Including one other 200 million customers to any product within the span of about three months is a reasonably main process.
I requested Bizon to elaborate on what Samsung hopes this journey will appear like: “The aim for us to to make Galaxy AI accessible to as many individuals as doable. And what we’re already seeing is the speed of individuals utilizing it every day growing exponentially the world over.”

Bizon added: “We began with Circle to Search, then noticed that broaden into our Interpreter, then issues like generative AI and artistic instruments. Persons are utilizing these on a regular basis.”
“We wish to get as many individuals as doable utilizing [these tools] regularly,” Bizon continued, “and really, while we discuss them being AI options, in truth, customers needn’t know they’re AI – they simply have to know that it is working for them and it is giving them time again.”
As talked about, the Galaxy Tab S11 sequence comes with new AI options optimized for bigger shows – which, in principle, makes it simpler for brand spanking new customers to undertake Galaxy AI. Beckford defined: “You get extra floating instruments – generally you don’t want AI to take up the whole display screen […] it’s simply easy ways in which allow you to make use of AI on that giant canvas – Circle to Search doesn’t take up your full display screen, for instance.”
Bizon advised me that Samsung’s shopper analysis has picked up on two completely different components as priorities within the age of AI: “You are trying on the precise {hardware} of a tool and the way we carry that to market, after which coupling that with, ‘What AI options does the buyer want?’ [We’re exploring how] these two issues marry in the absolute best means.”
