Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch the Galaxy S24 FE. The release timeline of Samsung’s FE models has been a bit inconsistent since the beginning.

Launch dates of the FE models so far

  • Galaxy S20 FE – 2020, September 23
  • Galaxy S21 FE – 2022, January 04
  • Galaxy S22 FE – Doesn’t exist
  • Galaxy S23 FE – 2023, October 04
  • Galaxy S24 FE – Upcoming

Looking at the Galaxy S23 FE, it feels like the S24 FE may come towards the end of 2024.

However, Korean media The Elec now hints (based on some evidence) that Samsung may release the phone much earlier than we can expect.

They reported that the display components for the Galaxy S24 FE such as the display driver IC (DDI) have already entered mass production. The production volume is reportedly in the millions. So we can expect a similar number of units on the shelves. It goes to show that Samsung is indeed taking its FE lineup seriously and expects the S24 FE to do well, based on their market research.

The outlet also notes that the Galaxy S24 FE is scheduled to be released on this summer.

The display driver IC (DDI) manufacturer Anapass mainly supply their product to Chinese smartphone makers. According to some reports, Anapass ranks first in market share in the T-con (timing controller) market for Samsung’s OLED displays.

The production volume of the S24 FE reported by the outlet is noted as “in the millions”, which is a bit vague. In comparison, they previously noted the same for the Galaxy S23 FE to be around three million.
