US Buyers Miss Out on Most Powerful Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 Models

Samsung’s latest launches — the Galaxy S25 FE, Tab S11, and Tab S11 Ultra — are now available in the United States. But American buyers don’t get access to the most powerful versions of these devices. The company has skipped the 512GB S25 FE and all 5G Tab S11 versions for the US market.

Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11 buyers in global markets get additional options

Powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400 processor, the Galaxy S25 FE comes with 8GB RAM as standard. Storage options include 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB in most global markets, including the UK and other European countries. However, in the US, Samsung is selling only the 128GB and 256GB models. The 512GB option, which would have been the best choice for users who need more space (especially with no microSD expansion anymore), isn’t available stateside.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series tells a similar story. While Samsung is offering the higher storage models in the US — up to 512GB with 12GB RAM on the base version and 1TB with 16GB RAM on the Ultra —  only Wi-Fi versions are on sale stateside. The 5G-enabled models remain exclusive to international markets, leaving US buyers without the option of cellular connectivity on Samsung’s latest premium Android tablets.

These choices are likely driven by Samsung’s market research. The company probably saw limited demand for the 512GB Galaxy S25 FE and the 5G-enabled Galaxy Tab S11 models. Still, some power users will no doubt be disappointed, much like when Samsung dropped Bluetooth features from the S Pen because most people didn’t use them, leaving regular users of those functions in limbo.
