Specifications

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is expected to feature the powerful Exynos 2400 chipset in most markets, including the US. The phone’s display has also seen an upgrade, shifting from a 6.4-inch panel to a larger 6.7-inch screen. With a maximum brightness of 1900 nits, the display of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will be brighter than its predecessor, making it easier to use in various lighting conditions.

The display supports Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is also IP67-certified, ensuring it is resistant to dust and water.

The camera setup includes a 10MP front-facing camera, a 50MP main rear camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is designed to capture stunning photos and videos, making it a strong contender in the mid-range market.

Battery life has also been improved, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE featuring a 4,565mAh battery (likely marketed as 4,700mAh). This upgrade, combined with the more efficient processor, ensures longer usage times. According to Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE can provide up to 78 hours of audio playback and 29 hours of video playback on a single charge.

Connectivity-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offers modern features such as Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity. However, it won’t support Wi-Fi 7, as the Exynos 2400 chipset doesn’t accommodate the newer standard.

Software and Features

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will come pre-installed with Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1, even if it’s released after Android 15 and One UI 7 are made available on other devices. Like other devices in the Galaxy series, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will include many of the Galaxy AI features found in Samsung’s latest flagship models.

As of August 31, it’s uncertain whether the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will be eligible for Samsung’s new policy of seven years of OS and security updates.

Availability and Price

In terms of pricing, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is expected to be slightly more expensive than the S23 FE in the US, where the previous model was priced at $599. In other regions, the price might remain similar to the S23 FE’s $699 tag.
