The Galaxy S25 FE’s sale price should trouble the Pixel 10a

Our favourite mid-range phone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, is currently down to its lowest price, and the Pixel 10a should be worried.

Amazon is selling the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for £499 right now. That’s a saving of £150 (or 23%) on a phone that’s only been on the market for six months.

We’ve listed the entry model, as it represents the best value, but the £150 saving applies to all three storage variants. If you want to scale things up to 256GB or 512GB, go right ahead. The deal ends on 16 March, though, so be quick.

As we’ve already mentioned, this brings the price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE down to the same level as the new Google Pixel 10a.

You can also find these prices at the official Samsung store and Argos if you prefer.

Google’s suspiciously familiar mid-range smartphone certainly has its strengths, but the Galaxy S25 FE outguns it in a number of departments.

It’s got a larger 6.7-inch OLED display, a more premium glass-backed design, and a significantly faster Exynos 2400 processor.

It also benefits from a dedicated 3x telephoto camera to complement a strong 50Mp main sensor. The Pixel 10a can’t do that.

Samsung’s mid-range champ also supports faster 45W wired charging, alongside 15W wireless charging. It’s the full package.

There’s little wonder, then, that we named the Galaxy S25 FE as the best mid-range smartphone on the market right now – and that was at its full £649 launch price.
