Without warning and without a presentation event, Samsung has just launched its new smartphone, the Galaxy S24 FE. This move by the South Korean company has left everyone surprised since no one expected it to be done this way. But, it happened and We can already see this new Galaxy in stores.
The Galaxy S24 FE is part of the “Fan Edition” line and would offer a high-end experience at a more affordable price. Let's talk in more detail about what this new model has to offer.
Surprise launch of the Galaxy S24 FE
The Galaxy S24 FE is now on the market thanks to an unconventional strategy by Samsung which has generated great interest in the general public. Experts say that part of this strategy has to do with the presentation of the Xiaomi 14T. This has led Samsung to make a strategic move to capture the attention of the market.
Now let's learn more about the features of this new Samsung smartphone. Let's start by talking about the screen size. This has an increase of 6.4 to 6.7 inches, much larger than the previous S24 model, but similar in size to the Galaxy S24 Plus.
This is a screen Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. While its peak brightness is 1900 nits, so outdoor visibility is not supposed to be an issue. The Galaxy S24 FE's screen also has Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protection, which is more durable against drops and scratches. The previous generation had Gorilla Glass 5, so this is a big improvement for this new model.
Samsung has put a lot of effort into this model by reducing the bezels. It must be said that the change is not drastic, but there is a noticeable improvement in the use of the front of the device. The S24 FE will be available in a variety of colors, including black, yellow, green and blue.
Processor and camera
El Exynos 2400e processor is the heart of the S34 FE, which promises 18% more CPU power and 28% more GPU power. And performance is kept in check thanks to a 10% larger vapor chamber.
The controversial aspect of this model is its 8 GB of RAM. On the market, competitors offer up to 12 GB in this price range, so some users might feel that the S24 FE falls short in this aspect. Samsung's software optimization could compensate for this apparent limitation.
In storage there would be more variety as it offers 128GB, 256GB and up to 512GB optionsMost users will be happy with these values.
Now let's talk about the camera system of the S24 FE. It has a 50 MP main camera with optical stabilization, a 12MP ultrawide and an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. The front camera also remains at 10 MP compared to the previous model.
There are new developments in the software department. Samsung is introducing its “photo engine” for the first time. This is a set of algorithms designed to improve image processing. This engine will improve aspects such as detail, dynamic range, textures, and color and noise management.
As for video, the S24 FE can record in 8K or 4K at 60 fps, features that put it on par with much more expensive devices.
Galaxy AI on the S24 FE
Perhaps the most notable aspect of the S24 FE is the inclusion of all the Galaxy AI SuiteThese AI features were reserved for Samsung's most premium models. Now these features are coming to a more affordable device. Among them you will find:
- Circle to Search: allows you to search for information about any item on the screen by simply circling it.
