Leaked Samsung S24 FE info tips the largest screen on a Fan Edition and sub-$600 price
Samsung is preparing to launch the next phone in it popular value-for-money FE series. It will be an affordable Fan Edition of the Galaxy S24 series that it released at the beginning of the year, and the Galaxy S24 FE will scoop some of the best flagship features at a very affordable price.
According to leaker Yogesh Brar, Samsung will price the Galaxy S24 FE at a sub-$600 tag, just like its predecessor, but the phone will offer a much faster processor and, above all, a much larger screen.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE specs to expect
- 6.7" FHD+ 120Hz OLED display
- Exynos 2400e
- 50MP + 12MP (UW) + 8MP (Tele)
- 10MP selfie
- 128GB/256 GB storage
- Android 14, One UI 6.1
- 4,600mAh battery, 25W charging
- IP68 rating
Previously, the Galaxy FE editions shipped with a smallish for today's standards 6.4-inch display that would place it somewhere between the 6.2-inch Galaxy S24 and 6.7-inch S24+. Given that the S24 costs $799 and the S24+ is $999, the $629 price of the Fan Editions didn't really warrant buying it before the real S24 deal.
Now that the Galaxy S24 FE will sport a 6.7-inch display, however, it will be a more formidable competitor, and it wouldn't cannibalize the much more expensive S24+, either.
The S24 FE is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in the US, or an Exynos 2400e processor abroad, with a healthy improvement in both raw power and energy efficiency over last year's Exynos 2200. The triple rear-facing camera system composed of 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP zoom camera, introduces no new twists compared to the Galaxy S23 FE predecessor.

The deca-core Exynos 2400 offers one Cortex-X4 prime CPU core running at a clock speed of up to 3.21 GHz. There are two performance Cortex-A720 CPU cores running up to 2.9 GHz, and three slower Cortex-A720 CPU cores with a clock speed of 2.6 GHz. The four Cortex-A520 low-power cores for mundane tasks are clocked at 1.95 GHz.
The typical capacity of the 4,600 mAh battery is set at 4,565 mAh, so any advances in battery life should come from the use of the more efficient screen and processor generations, rather than battery size.
All in all, the S24 FE is shaping up to be a worthy upgrade from its predecessor, with much faster and more frugal chipset, as well as a way larger screen that is more in sync with these times of voracious media consumption.
