Samsung recently launched a new smartphone: the Galaxy S25 FE. It is the company’s latest midrange mobile device and shares many of the same features of its more powerful siblings. If you’re thinking of buying the Galaxy S25 FE, there’s a new promotion from AT&T that I’d like to share with you.
AT&T customers, current and new, can get the Galaxy S25 FE for $6 a month on any unlimited plan. There’s no trade-in requirement. According to the carrier, this deal will save you about $435. The phone normally costs $650, so it’s a sizable discount.

On the surface, the Galaxy S25 FE looks nearly identical to the base Galaxy S25, sporting a similarly sleek design and three-lens camera system. The main difference: The FE is bigger, sporting a 6.7-inch AMOLED display instead of a 6.2-inch screen. It even has a 4,900mAh battery, which is larger than the Galaxy S25’s 4,000mAh.
The Galaxy S25 FE falls behind in one area: performance. The midrange model comes with an Exynos 2400 chipset instead of the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. Still, the Exynos platform is capable of supporting Samsung’s resource-intensive AI features, including Generative Edit for removing objects in photographs, Audio Eraser for cleaning up audio, and the Now Brief summarizer. That last one is like a personal secretary, informing users of any upcoming appointments and highlighting recommended routes.

Thanks to its upgrades, the Galaxy S25 FE is a solid midrange model and a good choice for anyone who wants a modern Galaxy experience without the flagship price. Alongside the S25 FE deal, AT&T is also offering shoppers “50% off [certain] Samsung accessories with the purchase of any Samsung connected device.”
In this context, a Samsung-connected device refers to tablets like the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Smartphones are not part of this particular deal. The accessories in question include Samsung’s 45W USB-C Power Adapter and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
How I rated this deal
As per ZDNET’s rating system, I granted this deal a perfect score of 5/5. AT&T states that its deal is a 66% discount — a huge price drop. Anyone looking for a new phone should definitely take advantage of this while it lasts.
It is currently unknown if and when the Galaxy S2 FE deal will end. However, according to AT&T, the 50% off Samsung accessory promotion will end on October 2.
