Samsung’s September 4 Event: What to Expect from the S25 FE and Tab S11

Samsung’s next product moment is set for September 4, 2025 (3:00 PM IST / 11:30 AM CEST), and the company’s invite hints at a cross-device reveal that could include an S-series “FE” refresh and a new Galaxy Tab flagship. If the leaks and retailer listings are right, both devices aim to blend sensible hardware lifts with smarter software — and a stronger play on on-device AI and value.

Galaxy S25 FE: smarter, slightly bigger battery

The S25 FE looks like an evolutionary update rather than a reinvention. Early details point to a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel at 2340×1080 resolution, slim bezels and a hole-punch front camera — a design language Samsung has used on recent FE models. Memory options are expected to start at 8GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage, and two colourways (Jet Black, Icy Blue) have been suggested in leaks.

Camera and battery are the practical headlines here. The primary sensor is rumoured to be a 50MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultrawide and an 8MP 3× telephoto module — a setup that keeps the FE in line with mid-to-upper mainstream camera packs. Battery capacity may tick up slightly to 4,900 mAh with 45W fast charging, a modest but welcome increase over the S24 FE’s 4,700 mAh unit. For buyers who want a large screen and reliable endurance without flagship pricing, that’s the core promise.

Galaxy Tab S11: premium tablet ambitions

The Tab S11 appears aimed squarely at premium tablet buyers and creatives. Rumours indicate an 11-inch AMOLED display at 2560×1600 with a 120 Hz refresh rate, S Pen support, and an IP68 rating — a step toward making Samsung’s tablet offering more rugged and productivity-ready. Under the hood, the Tab S11 is said to use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset and could ship with up to 16GB RAM and 256GB storage, positioning it as a performance tablet rather than a content-only slate. Battery rumours peg it at 8,400 mAh with 45W charging. If true, Samsung is pushing to close the gap with pro-tier Android tablets and to give the iPad Pro a run for its money on features.

What this launch strategy signals

Samsung’s rumored combo — a refreshed FE phone plus a serious Tab — says two things. First, Samsung wants to cover both mainstream buyers who want good value (the FE line) and pros/creatives who want a high-end tablet. Second, it’s a cost-and-feature play rather than a radical hardware gambit: iterative improvements to battery, cameras and display, while leaning on software and ecosystem polish to move the needle.

Buyer checklist: should you care?

If you value battery life and a large screen at a lower price than the full S25 flagship, the S25 FE will be worth a look — especially if the 50MP camera and 4,900 mAh battery land as expected.
If you use tablets for drawing, note-taking or video editing, the Tab S11’s spec sheet (high-res AMOLED, 120Hz, S Pen, strong SoC and big battery) suggests a credible alternative to iPad Pro-style devices.
Always watch the fine print: regional chipset differences, exact RAM/storage splits, and pricing; FE models typically trade some flagship hardware for a friendlier price, but local SKUs can vary.

What to watch on September 4

Official specs vs. the leaks (chipset, RAM options, charging wattage).
Actual pricing and regional SKUs — the FE’s value depends on where Samsung positions it relative to the S25 flagships.
Any new software features or Galaxy AI integrations that make on-device tasks noticeably faster or more capable.

Don’t expect dramatic redesigns. Expect practical improvements: a modestly larger battery and refreshed camera package on the S25 FE, and a confident, productivity-focused Tab S11 that pushes Samsung’s tablet story. If Samsung nails price positioning, both devices could land as smart buys for two different groups: cost-sensitive phone buyers and prosumers who want a powerful Android tablet.
