The Galaxy S24 FE has been a constant murmur in the rumor mill, and for good reason. Samsung‘s “Fan Edition” phones typically provide a more affordable way to access flagship features. However, a recent leak suggests this year’s model may not be as budget-friendly.
According to WinFuture, the S24 FE could see a price increase of €100 ($100) compared to its predecessor. This would push the starting price to $699, up from the S23 FE’s $599 launch tag.
Despite the price increase, the leak suggests that there won’t be any upgrade in RAM or storage — the base model will still come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Let’s see what $600 might get you.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Specifications
The S24 FE is rumored to boast a larger display – a 6.7-inch panel compared to the S23 FE’s 6.4-inch. This would be the biggest display ever seen on a Galaxy Fan Edition phone, nearing the size of the flagship S24 Ultra.
Under the hood, the S24 FE is expected to pack either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or the Exynos 2400 – the same chips powering the flagship S24 lineup.
However, there might be a slight caveat. WinFuture suggests the Exynos version (common in Europe and other regions) could have a clock speed 100MHz lower than the one found in the regular S24 series. The same could potentially apply to the Snapdragon variant in the US. Basically, you might get a slightly detuned version of the flagship chip.
The leak suggests the camera setup might remain the same as the S23 FE. So, if you were hoping for a major camera upgrade to justify the price hike, you might be disappointed.
The rumored price hike for the Galaxy S24 FE isn’t exactly exciting news, especially considering the lack of any major upgrades. A $100 increase without improvements in RAM or storage, the camera department, feels hard to justify.
