Back in March 2025, Samsung announced the Galaxy A56 as its latest upper mid range smartphone. It arrived with various upgrades over its predecessor, a new Exynos chip, Awesome Intelligence (AI), and a premium design. This made it a model worth checking out for its price. However, a fresh deal has made the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE a lot more affordable and easily a better deal than the Galaxy A56. So what makes it the smarter choice? Read on to find out.
Better Performance
The South Korean tech giant made sure to offer a premium design and display on the Galaxy A56, matching the Galaxy S24 FE’s glass rear, aluminum frame, and Gorilla Glacc Victus+ for protection. But considering how it’s a mid range model, the Galaxy A56 only features the Exynos 1580 SoC. This is a power efficient and capable processor, no doubt. However, the Galaxy S24 FE is easily more powerful thanks to its Exynos 2400e. It is a slightly underpowered version of the Exynos 2400 that also powers the Galaxy S24.
Three Usable Cameras
Another area where the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE shines is the camera system. It features a 50MP (Main) + 12MP (Ultra Wide) + 8MP (Telephoto) camera system on the rear, while the front houses a 10MP selfie shooter. In other words, there are three usable cameras allowing for both zoomed and wide shots.
While the Galaxy A56 also offers a triple camera setup on the rear, it only consists of a 50MP (Main) + 12MP (Ultra Wide) + 5MP (Macro). So its camera system isn’t as versatile as the S24 FE since it skips the handy telephoto shooter with a less popular macro sensor. For selfies and video calls, there is a 12MP shooter. Meaning, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 FE is clearly a better choice for photography and videography, with support for 8K video recording as well.
Longer Software Support
Picking a Samsung smartphone has its perks, with the long software support being one of them. The brand promises up to 6 years of OS updates along with security patches. But since the Galaxy S24 FE is technically a part of the premium Galaxy S lineup, the S24 FE gets a longer 7 years of Android OS updates and security patches. However, it is worth noting that the Galaxy S24 FE did launch with Android 14. So this basically evens the playing field.
Pricing
One of the biggest reasons why the Galaxy S24 FE is worth checking out right now is the discount it received. It is currently listed for 34,999 INR in the Indian market for the base 8GB + 128GB configuration. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A56 starts from 41,999 INR for the 8GB + 256GB starting variant. The higher storage is attractive, but even the 8GB + 256GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is cheaper as its starts from 40,999 INR.
