Samsung has wasted no time in rolling out the very first update for its freshly launched Galaxy S25 FE, which hit the market earlier this month. 
The update, now making its way across both Asia and Europe, signals Samsung’s commitment to keeping its mid-range flagship refreshed and secure right from day one.
The highlight of the update is the September 2025 security patch, designed to close off potential vulnerabilities and keep the phone safe from emerging threats. Security patches are essential in the Android ecosystem, and Samsung’s speed in pushing this out demonstrates its ongoing effort to position the Fan Edition (FE) series as not only affordable but also reliable in the long term.
Beyond security, Samsung has introduced a new feature tied to the Google Finance integration. Users will now see stock price updates directly in the Now Bar, though the company clarifies that only major or ‘big price changes’ will appear there. This is meant to reduce unnecessary noise while still alerting users to movements that matter most.
The company has also listed a vague but intriguing improvement: “device behavior has been improved.” While Samsung hasn’t spelled out specifics, this usually means refinements in system responsiveness, app handling, battery optimization, or even network performance. Combined with the generic “stability and reliability” enhancements, users can expect smoother day-to-day interactions with their device after installing this update.
The new firmware carries the build number S731BXXU1AYIB, and it comes in at a download size of about 560MB. As is typical with Samsung’s update strategy, the rollout is phased. This means not every user will see the update immediately, but it should reach all devices in the coming days or weeks. Patience will pay off, as the update is guaranteed to arrive sooner rather than later.
For those still undecided about purchasing the Galaxy S25 FE, the handset is available in multiple configurations: a base model with 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM priced at around €749 or £649, and a higher-tier version offering 256GB of storage with the same 8GB of RAM, priced slightly higher in the UK at £699. Samsung’s FE line has traditionally balanced affordability and premium features, and this quick rollout of its first update only reinforces the phone’s appeal for consumers seeking longevity and support.
If you’re considering making the jump, Samsung has also published a detailed review of the Galaxy S25 FE, highlighting its performance, design, and value proposition. With this update arriving so quickly, the S25 FE sets the tone for what should be a solid year of software support for Samsung’s Fan Edition loyalists.
