Samsung has launched its 2024 FE device, the Galaxy S24 FE, with a chipset that is expected to be a downgraded version of the Galaxy S24’s Exynos 2400 chip. This is called the Exynos 2400e. Now Samsung has officially confirmed that the Exynos 2400e only differs from the Exynos 2400 in one key area.
100MHz lower clock speed as compared to Exynos 2400
The company reveals that the max frequency of the Exynos 2400e’s performance core is 3.1GHz, just 0.1GHz lower than that of Exynos 2400. “The silicon itself, however, is the same, and just the max frequency, or Fmax, has been slightly adjusted/optimized for the mobile device,” Samsung responds.
Samsung has managed to improve the power efficiency and stability of its Exynos 2400 chip to the point where both the Exynos and Snapdragon variants of the Galaxy S24 series offer similar performance in most use cases.
However, the reduction of peak clock speed for the S24 FE targets better thermal management, as the phone packs a relatively inferior heat dissipation system compared to the Galaxy S24 or S24+.
The 100MHz lower clock speed likely won’t result in a significant performance gap compared to flagship devices. Moreover, smartphone chips rarely reach their peak clock speeds in everyday use. This is good news for those considering the Galaxy S24 FE.
Nonetheless, it’s also important to note that the overall performance can still be tuned differently without reducing or changing the peak clock speed.
Other aspects of the Galaxy S24 FE
Speaking of other aspects, the Galaxy S24 FE packs a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel that supports an up-to-120Hz refresh rate. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 1900 nits, which ensures a reasonably good HDR video streaming experience. The phone weighs 213g and is 8mm thick.
The phone is currently available for sale on Samsung’s official website for Rs 65,999 (8+256GB), just Rs 2,000 less than the same configuration of the Galaxy S24. In comparison, the S24 is more compact and much lighter, with a 6.2-inch display and weighing 167 g.
