Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition) has established itself in April 2026 as the "golden mean" of the S series, offering a nearly full flagship experience on a large 6.7-inch display. While the customized Exynos 2400e chip and full integration of Galaxy AI continue to provide top-notch performance two years after release, the charging speed of 25W falls short of expectations for a premium device. Those looking for a large Samsung flagship with an extremely long update guarantee but do not want to pay the price for an Ultra model will find a price-stable and technically up-to-date package here.

Classification and Target Audience

The S24 FE (released October 2024) fills the gap between the A series and the S24+, offering an affordable way to enter Samsung's premium world in 2026. It targets users who need a large display for media and productivity but can forgo the last nuance of processor power from the main series. In the current market, it primarily competes with the iPhone 17 and the Google Pixel 10, scoring points with its more flexible multitasking system and larger panel.

Display and Build

The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers a smooth refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of up to 1,900 nits, ensuring excellent readability outdoors. The housing is IP68 certified and uses Gorilla Glass Victus+ for both the front and back, giving it a very premium feel. Weighing 213 g, it is noticeably heavier than the base S24, but offers the same screen area as the more expensive S24+.

Performance and Hardware

Inside, the Exynos 2400e works, a slightly efficiency-optimized variant of the flagship chip, which in April 2026, along with 8 GB of RAM, smoothly handles all current Galaxy AI features like "Circle to Search" or the "Live Translator." The 4,700 mAh battery provides solid runtime, ensuring users can get through the day. Charging is brand-typical at a maximum of 25W (wired) or 15W wirelessly; additionally, Wireless PowerShare is supported for charging wearables.

Video and Camera System

The triple camera system is led by a 50 MP main camera with OIS, flanked by a 12 MP ultra-wide camera and an 8 MP telephoto lens (3x optical zoom).

• Photo: The shots benefit massively from the "ProVisual Engine," which ensures natural details, especially in portraits and night shots. The optical zoom delivers sharp results up to 3x magnification, surpassing many mid-range models.
• Video: Recordings are possible in impressive 8K at 30 fps, while the 4K stabilization remains the most practical choice for smooth clips in everyday use.

The 10 MP front camera delivers clear selfies and supports HDR previews on social networks.

Software Status

The Galaxy S24 FE is currently in the beta phase for One UI 8.5 (Android 16) as of April 2026, with the final release expected soon. The device receives monthly security patches (as of March 2026). Samsung guarantees a total of seven years of Android upgrades and security updates for this model, keeping it software-wise up to date until fall 2031.

Conclusion and Value for Money

With a current market price of around €327 to €435 (as of April 2026), the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offers an outstanding overall package for budget-conscious consumers. You get full flagship software and excellent camera versatility in a robust housing, which, thanks to the long update guarantee, offers extremely high future security.
