Samsung’s next Fan Edition phone and flagship tablets have had their battery endurance revealed early. And while the Galaxy S25 FE looks familiar, the cells of the Galaxy Tab S11 series might not go quite as far as their predecessors.


As spotted by GSMArena in Europe’s EPREL database, the Galaxy S25 FE is listed with 42 hours and 37 minutes of runtime and a 2,000-cycle battery rating — a very slight improvement over last year’s model. It keeps the same A score for drop resistance and C for repairability.
