Right now, you can save 27% on the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, bringing the price for the 128GB model down to $475.

That’s a considerable discount for a phone released just a few months ago. But the deal won’t be around for long because we’re in the final hours of Black Friday, so you’ll want to wrap up your shopping soon.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is designed as a more affordable entry into the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup. Its list price is $150 lower than the standard Galaxy S25 smartphone, though its size is more comparable to the S25 Plus with a 6.7-inch wide display.

Sorrentino found it to be a helpful feature when trying to get through voice-activated menus.
