Samsung Galaxy S24 FE announced with Exynos 2400e and a 6.7″ display | Infinium-tech

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE comes with a larger 6.7” display, larger battery, a focus on better performance, and the introduction of ProVisual Engine to the FE series.

This year, there will be no regional variation in the chipset – the S24 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400e. Although Samsung didn’t reveal details, the prime Cortex-X4 cores should run at lower clock speeds.

This may impact peak performance, but will provide a sustained performance boost with the new vapor chamber that is 1.1 times larger than the previous one. Since there was no Exynos 2300, last year’s S23 FE had to use a mix of Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (both 2022 chips). The performance upgrade from the S23 FE to the S24 FE should be massive.

Anyway, Samsung has only equipped the phone with 8GB of RAM – which is on par with the vanilla Galaxy S24. It will have versions with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage. RAM capacity does not affect the phone’s ability to run Galaxy AI, more on AI later.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE features a 6.7” display, which is 0.3” larger than its predecessor. This puts it on the same diagonal as the S24+, however, it’s an FHD+ OLED panel instead of a QHD+ LTPO. Still, the FE will stand as a cheaper alternative to the Plus (more on the pricing in a bit). The display can run at 120Hz or 60Hz and has a vision booster for bright, sunny days.

Samsung has brought the Provisional engine from the flagship series to the FE line. It combines Nightography (AI ISP that improves low-light shots) with an object-aware engine that optimizes colors in Super HDR. Additionally, the system offers optical-quality 2x zoom.

This comes from a 50MP main camera (f/1.8). An additional stage of zoom is available with the 3x 8MP telephoto module (f/2.4) or you can zoom wider with the 12MP 123° Ultra Wide lens (f/2.2). The selfie camera has a 10MP sensor. It appears to be exactly the same hardware as last year, except this time it has more processing power and a ProVisual engine behind it.

We mentioned that the battery has gotten bigger and bigger too – it now has a capacity of 4,700mAh (+200mAh compared to the S23 FE). However, the charging rates remain the same, i.e. 25W wired (0-50% in 30 minutes) and 15W wireless.

The S24 FE measures 162.0 x 77.3 x 8.0 mm and weighs 213 grams. It’s 4mm longer, less than a millimeter wider and a hair thinner than the S23 FE. It also has the advantage of 4G compared to its predecessor. The Galaxy S24+ is narrower with thinner bezels and 17 grams lighter, while it has a larger 200mAh battery.

Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), and Bluetooth 5.3. As before, the body is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance (1.5m/5ft underwater for 30 minutes).

The Galaxy S24 FE launches with Android 14 and OneUI 6.1 out of the box (not great timing as Android 15 is on the way). The good news is that the FE is getting the flagship treatment and will be updated through 7 OS generations and receive security patches for 7 years.

AI features include the usual Galaxy AI options. Circle to Search is an easy way to look up things on Google (long press the Home button and circle the thing you’re interested in). Live Translate is a voice translation for calls and is now supported in select third-party apps. You use an interpreter when you need a translation in person. Composer is a Samsung keyboard feature that can compose emails and social network posts for you based on certain keywords. Note Assist automates the formatting of notes, transcription and summarization of voice recordings, and can translate PDFs.
