Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S24 FE, the latest addition to its Fan Edition lineup under the Galaxy S24 flagship series. This AI-driven smartphone boasts enhancements in design, display quality, battery performance, and overall functionality compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE. While the camera setup remains similar, upgraded hardware enables superior performance, including 3x optical zoom. The device also comes with a slightly higher price tag, reflecting these improvements.
Key Specifications and Features
Display and Design
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE features a stunning 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, offering a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an impressive 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The screen supports HDR10+ for vivid colors and deep contrast, delivering a rich viewing experience.

Aesthetically, the device stands out with slim bezels and durable materials. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, while the back utilizes Victus 5 for scratch resistance. Measuring 162 x 77.3 x 8mm and weighing 213g, the S24 FE combines durability with a comfortable grip. Samsung also retains the IP68 certification, ensuring resistance against water and dust.
