Samsung is widely tipped to use a year-old Exynos chip for the Galaxy S25 FE, but a new report points to an interesting backup plan.

Rumors suggest the Galaxy S25 FE might use the Exynos 2400e, like its predecessor. However, Samsung has the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9400 as a backup option. The final choice will likely depend on cost and Samsung Foundry’s production capacity. The Galaxy S25 FE is still expected in late 2025.

Samsung is considering using MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 chip on the Galaxy S25 FE as a backup plan. The 3nm Dimensity 9400 offers better performance than Samsung's Exynos 2400e, with the latter previously rumored to feature on the Galaxy S25 FE.
