[...] Also, I do NOT take "professional" picture/video and the S24FE is MORE than enough for most, which is on par with the S24+ unless you nit-pic. The S24FE is NO slouch and actually heats up LESS than an Exynos 2400 CPU under heavy loads, which is why they tuned down ONE core from 3.2Ghz to 3.1Gz with a LARGER heat chamber on the 2400e. It's very snappy and has yet to stumble on me yet as the Snapdragon S23FE did all the time as well as the HEAT. Now, as far as price, I got the S24FE in the USA for $609 with 256Gb of storage AND sold my S23FE for $290. So, the overall gains are MORE than worth it for the overall price I paid and selling my previous phone with the LONG seven-year update cycle. [...] My last Note was the 10+ 5g which I dropped and ended up replacing it with an S20FE which was actually FASTER and have NO need for the S-Pen and NO longer wish to PAY the INSANE price for the new ULTRA models. The FE is a GOOD compromise and the S24FE is enough for my needs that offers DEX, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging for my buds, and has an improved battery life. [...]
Its been 3+ months since I bought this phone. [...] Camera is so capable in photos that even my iphone user friend prefer this over his. [...] 🔋 Battery can last a whole day for internet browsing but it drains a lot on camera shooting and gaming. Charges fast only on PPS cert. Charger Performance is mid level. You can edit videos play games on without a shatter although prolong gaming is not very enjoyable on this Network reception gets hampered when i use it on high brightness it tents to shift itself to 4G network for heating issues on sunny day And The BEZELS are not that big complain about it. Its fairly thin and you don't notice it because the display itself is large Cons Heating issues : it tents to stay warm to touch while using the phone on 60% or more brightness. It over heats alot on using the camera especially on shooting videos. [...]
In my case, it was pretty fast i would say, using S24 Fe, on Gemma3n E2B int 4, it took around 20 seconds to answer "Describe this image". And the result was pretty amazing. Stats - CPU - first token - 4.52 sec prefill speed - 57.50 sec tokens/s decode speed - 10.59 tokens/s Latency - 20.66 sec GPU - first token - 1.92 sec prefill speed - 135.35 sec tokens/s decode speed - 11.92 tokens/s Latency - 9.98 sec
Used it since release awesome phone does everything i need was sceptical about the exynos 2400e but havent had a problem with performance at all Great review!
[...] But come on I was charging my 16 up to 3 times a day. I wanted a bigger display, I got 120 hertz 3 cameras better battery AI features, awesome customization, fast charging, I can charge someone's phone with my phone. [...]
Genuinely, I use this phone because I got it as a gift, and its a gigantic upgrade than my old phone. It was slow, wouldn't update and stayed in Android 12 update, and when i got this phone it was almost like an iPhone to me, for normal use without picky needs, its great. [...] Getting a good case, having a nice wallpaper and home screen look. [...]
If this had stronger battery, it would be best selling phone, from what i saw camera and performance are suberb, and for me does not warms up in normal use at all, even when charging, my poco 3x pro gets hell hot when charging
This is crazy. I use for hard gaming and getting hot (not really hot just normal). The crazy is this phone can cooling so fast and This phone battery is very durable compared to my Xiaomi phone is have bigger battery 😅
I just switched from a Galaxy A11 to the S24 FE. [...] Couldn't have made a better choice, as I find the A series is MUCH slower, even for my casual use. I bought a higher-end OtterBox case, and a screen protector, plus had to buy the wall adapter (OtterBox) - don't know why they don't come with the wall adapter - how could you use it WITHOUT one? [...]
Might be exynos but it handles warzone mobile great in my experience. My S21+ was said to be able to handle it, but my game would crash at times. The S24 FE did amaizng i was even able to play in higher graphics than what i was able to use and didnt use all 8gb of ram
[...] Changing from old A series to modern galaxy all series design, the biggest disappointment is that it becomes so uncomfortable to hold, rectangle replaces rond edges, weight increases much. [...]
My S20 FE jumped off the couch last night and crashed to its death. [...] I'm traveling in a car and have been holding it in my hand and I have to say, i'm kind of surprised because my wrist is getting uncomfortable.And the phone is feeling quite heavy compared to my SE 20. [...]
I got one yesterday and I think the AI features that you dont get in lower end androids are really cool. I cant imagine it not being up to par for any task you may need (except photo).The cameras could be a little better and the edge of it does make it look and feel cheap. It looks like the older S4.
Maybe it's because I'm coming from an A71, but the S24 FE has an amazing speaker. I didn't realize it had TWO speakers! [...] Either way, it's a very nice feature because it sounds like a higher quality portable speaker. I'm gonna miss the macro camera from the A71, though. Especially because I take pictures of action figures and close ups. [...]
[...] Compared to this Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which frames everything as something that can help you out and is fun and quirky: I've been using Mac as my workhorse my entire career, switched from Android to iPhone recently. [...]
just bought one for 200 on ebay.. smashed my iphone 16 max accidentally and i just wanted a decent cheap phone that works..
Got this phone. An upgrade from my Samsung A51 and im very satisfied with S24 fe
i bought this phone last week for 350 euros. best deal of my life at this point, don't even care about s25
[...] so for me the S24 FE represents a big step up from what I'm used to. [...]
[...] I chose the S24 FE and this review has me believe I made the right choice overall
Got it from my carrier a week ago, upgrading from s21 ultra, gotta say I'm happy and no regrets getting this
I got the Mint color S24 FE myself. Also, despite having the Exynos 1480, the Samsung A55 runs much smoother than the laggy Vivo V30 with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3..!
Buy just in 26k with exchange Experience with samsung is great Awesome U.I Experience 🎉🎉
[...] And now im finally getting the s24 fe after about 2 3 years of using chinese phones like Infinix hot 30 at the moment, and im super happy. Getting it with the galaxy buds fe for gym and if i was happy with the s21 fe and so i know without a doubt the s24fe will make me happy!
My s24 fe battery is bad just 4 or 5 sreen of time max i don't play game or taking video just every day normal use and i buy it 3 weeks ago and have one ui 7 i don't know whats problem this phone have please help
I bought this phone for my mother i think this is good enough for her as she is not very tech savy
I went from an iphone 13 to S24 fe and im enjoying it really no one cares what phonen you use. Iphone is more for status then anything else.
I am using the fe now and it shits on 8 out of 10 phones out there
[...] Screen ratio is better than the s24 fe
My z fold 4 just bit the dust a few days ago and I switched to the s24 fe (cricket has a deal right now for $99). [...] Before the z fold I had an s21 ultra and I think the s24 fe is about as good or better. [...] It's just not worth the hassle if you actually use your phone everyday.
Yay! A phone that goes phone stuff, it’s about time… lol I just got one and it does what I need it to do 👌
I only consider large smartphones and bought the s 24 fe only because it's big, almost the size of an ultra. [...] The s 24 fe turned out to be cool and looks premium❤❤❤
Commenting on my S24 FE after two months of owning it, I would say I have no regrets about trading my iPhone, I'm never looking back.
This phone is awesome!!! Best mid-range phone Ever! I got my S24FE for $400!!!
There are few thing that I want from a smartphone: decent camera, long software support and an USB 3. S24 FE has all I need. It's quite bizarre that many newer (but not much cheaper) phones still have ancient USB 2. And Google Pixel 9 (non-Pro) even lacks camera pro mode.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for anyone curious. My old S21 FE is soooo small compared LOL its like I've got a tablet for a phone 🤣
Well I'm upgrading from a 5 year old phone that longer has OS updates. I'm also only paying $120 for S24 FE brand new so 🤷
I have switched from s24 ultra to the s24 FE. And it is buttery smooth 😎
[...] i got a deal with a mobile subscribtion, and payd only 119 for the phone, and 250 for 6 month for the subscribtion. [...]
I have the s24 fe and I love it. Super fast and does everything I need it to do plus gaming.
I got mine for $100 at cricket plus activation month of service with a case and screen protector and still paid about with tax $250
I just got it and I was not expecting much because it's time to renew my contract so I pick whatever it's good and cheap, phone is really good so far so I highly recommend it if you like good quality not paying an arm and a leg...
Tks for the great information on this phone. I can tell you know phones well. Just bought one on Black Friday prices.
Yeah, I got this phone $350 add xfinity mobile when I traded my Samsung Galaxy s21
Got mine 4 days ago and im really happy with it but i used a s20fe before so its a big upgrade
[...] You get 90% of the flagship phones at half the price. [...]
The only reason I used to buy the FE was the size, medium. But it has now gone to the size of the Ultra, no more.
1) Nobody's paying full price. I got mine for $ 474.99 + taxes in Canada with coupon and trading in a broken non-functional phone for a $200 credit. [...]
I have the s24 FE and love it but have one issue and I can't find a solution for it online, maybe someone here can help me out TIA... When I talk to text in text messaging and send the text the text I just sent repeats itself in the new message box to be sent again, why is it doing this???
[...] I'm using galaxy phone having battery capacity 6000mah which gives the same battery backup you're showing in this picture.(14h-19h) So... [...] Why s24fe is giving you 16h avg battery backup. [...]
