About this product:
Design and Build Quality
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition) is a mid-range smartphone that aims to deliver a flagship-like experience at a more affordable price point. It was released in October 2024, following the trend of Samsung releasing “Fan Edition” phones several months after its flagship models. The S24 FE offers a combination of features, including a powerful processor, a high-quality display, and access to Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite, making it an attractive option for consumers.
Display
The Galaxy S24 FE shares design elements with the Galaxy S24 and S24+. It features a rounded rectangular body with an aluminum frame and glass panels on the front and back, giving it a premium feel. The phone is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, offering protection against the elements. The design is described as “iPhone-esque” by some reviewers, with a minimalistic and rounded look. The S24 FE is slightly larger and heavier than the standard Galaxy S24. The color options include Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow, with some colors being region-specific.
Performance and Hardware
The S24 FE boasts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,900 nits. This is a step up from the Gorilla Glass 5 used by the S23 FE and Pixel 8a. The display offers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, making it suitable for media consumption and everyday use. While the resolution is the same as the Galaxy S24, the FE’s display is 0.6 inches larger.
Cameras
The Galaxy S24 FE is powered by the Samsung Exynos 2400e processor, which is similar to the Exynos 2400 found in the international versions of the S24 and S24+. The device comes with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Exynos 2400e chip offers strong performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and AI-related functions. The phone’s performance is close to the S24 in benchmarks.
Software and Features
The S24 FE features a triple-camera system on the rear, including a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. The front-facing camera is a 10MP sensor. The main camera captures clean details with good white balance, dynamic range, and accurate colors. The telephoto camera provides sharp images with 3x optical zoom. The camera system is considered good, but not top-tier, with some reviewers noting that the camera is merely average.
Battery Life and Charging
The Galaxy S24 FE runs Android 14 with Samsung’s One UI 6.1, offering a customizable and feature-rich user experience. It includes the same Galaxy AI features found in the pricier Galaxy S24 models, such as Interpreter Mode, Circle to Search, Chat Assist, and photo editing tools. Samsung promises seven years of OS and security updates for the S24 FE.
