The launches solidify Samsung’s strategy to expand its lineup while offering advanced AI-powered features and improved performance. The event provided a deep look at Samsung’s push into premium tablets and accessible flagship phones.
What’s Happening & Why This Matters
The Galaxy S25 FE Debuts
The Galaxy S25 FE enters as the most affordable model in the S25 series, priced at $649. Despite being the entry-level device, it comes with impressive features:

This phone pursues affordability and premium features, making it appealing to users that want performance at a moderate price point. However, compromises include lower RAM and slightly less advanced camera hardware compared to higher-tier models.
Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra
Samsung’s new tablets are designed with creatives and professionals in mind. As part of the latest Samsung Galaxy releases, the Galaxy Tab S11 features an 11-inch display, while the Ultra boasts a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. Both models:
- Use a 3nm processor for faster performance and improved energy efficiency.
- Offer 12GB RAM, with the Ultra model configurable up to 16GB.
- Feature AI integration through Google Gemini.
- Include an S Pen, now redesigned to better replicate the feel of a real pencil.
- Provide IP68 water and dust resistance, making them durable options for various environments.
The Tab S11 starts at $799, while the Ultra version is priced at $1,199.
AI at the Core
A standout theme at this event, a hallmark of the Galaxy releases, was Samsung’s AI focus. Both the Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 series integrate Galaxy AI and Google Gemini, enabling features such as:
- Real-time translation through Circle to Search.
- Context-aware recommendations and tools powered by on-device machine learning.
- AI-driven productivity improvements with Samsung DeX.
These AI capabilities enhance user experiences. Samsung claims Galaxy AI streamlines workflows to improving entertainment features like gaming and multimedia.
Project Moohan and Future Devices
Samsung, continuing its innovative streak with its Galaxy releases, briefly teased future innovations, including Project Moohan, a mixed reality headset built on Google’s Android XR platform. While no release date or pricing was confirmed during the event, speculation suggests a launch later this year. Additionally, Samsung is developing a tri-fold smartphone and AI-powered AR glasses, though these were not showcased at this event.
Competitive Positioning
The S25 FE competes directly with mid-range devices like the Apple iPhone 16e and Google Pixel 9a. While priced slightly higher than the Pixel 9a’s $499, it offers Galaxy AI features comparable to those on Samsung’s flagship models, giving it a competitive edge in the market.
For tablets, the Tab S11 Ultra positions Samsung as a strong rival to Apple’s iPad Pro, offering similar performance capabilities and a refreshed DeX experience designed for power users.
TF Summary: What’s Next
Samsung’s September Galaxy Unpacked event demonstrates a clear strategy: expand accessibility without sacrificing innovation. The Galaxy S25 FE delivers flagship-level features at a lower cost, while the Galaxy Tab S11 series aims to redefine tablet productivity with advanced hardware and AI integration. As part of the plan for Samsung Galaxy releases, Samsung continues to push into mixed reality and new device form factors like tri-fold phones, so consumers can expect a broader range of choices in 2025 and beyond.
PREDICTION: With AI at the core of its ecosystem, Samsung is betting that smarter devices drive user engagement and loyalty. The user engagement will reveal how these launches perform in the competitive smartphone and tablet markets.
