Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review

 

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offers a solid balance of features for those looking for a value-friendly alternative to Samsung’s flagship lineup. It has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing vivid colors and decent sharpness. However, it's not as bright as the regular Galaxy S24, maxing out at 1,900 nits compared to the S24's 2,600 nits. The screen is still impressive, especially for streaming and general use, but not the most advanced display in its class【6†source】【7†source】.

In terms of performance, the Galaxy S24 FE is powered by Samsung's Exynos 2400e chipset, a slightly scaled-down version of the Exynos 2400 used in the S24+. It offers good multitasking and gaming capabilities but isn't on par with the more powerful chipsets in flagship models【6†source】. The phone comes with 8GB of RAM, which is sufficient for most tasks, though some power users might find it limiting.

The camera setup is another highlight, with a 50MP main sensor similar to the S24+, but the telephoto and ultrawide lenses (8MP and 12MP, respectively) are more basic. The main camera captures vibrant, detailed images, although the zoom and low-light performance are not as strong【6†source】【8†source】. Samsung’s software offers useful AI-enhanced tools like image generation and editing features, which add a fun, creative element【8†source】.

Battery life is solid, with a 4,700mAh battery that supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. While not the fastest charging speeds, it should be sufficient for most users【6†source】.

Overall, the Galaxy S24 FE offers good value with a strong display, solid performance, and a capable camera setup, though it does compromise slightly on premium features. If you're looking for a mid-tier phone with some high-end qualities, it's a solid option.
