FAQs

Which has the better battery life?

The vivo V70 FE. vivo lists 7000 mAh with 90W charging, while Samsung lists 4900 mAh with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. S25 FE owners often say it needs a top-up before night on heavy days.

Which has the better camera, including in low light?

The Galaxy S25 FE for zoom and video: it adds an 8 MP 3x optical telephoto and records up to 8K at 30fps, and both phones have OIS on the main camera. The vivo wins on selfies with a 50 MP autofocus front camera, but its 8 MP ultra-wide is its weakest lens and its zoom is digital only. Owners of both report softer or blurry photos in dim light, so neither is a night-photo champion.

Does the S25 FE heat up during gaming?

It can on long sessions. Samsung says its vapor chamber is 13% larger than the Galaxy S24 FE's, but owners still report heat and throttling during sustained gaming. The vivo's Dimensity 7360-Turbo is a mid-range chip, and owners report frame drops in heavy games, so for long BGMI or Genshin sessions the Samsung is the better of two imperfect choices.

Does the vivo V70 FE support a microSD card?

No. vivo's spec page says expandable storage is "Not supported"; the 256 GB is UFS 3.1. Samsung's page lists no microSD slot for the S25 FE either, so buy the storage you need on day one.

How many years of updates does each phone get?

Samsung promises up to 7 generations of OS upgrades and up to 7 years of security updates for the S25 FE, so it is the clearer pick if you keep phones for years.

The 128 GB Galaxy S25 FE on Amazon is the cheapest after card cashback, then the vivo V70 FE 256 GB on Flipkart, then the 256 GB S25 FE on Amazon; the cards above show today's prices with each card's conditions.
