Samsung just launched the highly-anticipated Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition) smartphone, and here is our hands-on preview in all four main colours!
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE : My Hands-On Experience
I was one of the few who had the rare opportunity to get my hands on not one, but four Samsung Galaxy S24 FE smartphones, which allowed us to do a proper colour comparison.
And now, I present to you – my own hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE smartphone… in all four main colours!
I apologise for the slightly shaky video – Samsung still insists that I do not take photos or record videos with a smartphone, even though it’s their own Galaxy S24 Ultra!
The first thing you will notice is that Samsung maintained the same basic design from last year’s Galaxy S23 FE. It may not look like it, but the new S24 FE is slightly bigger thanks to a larger 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display – up from 6.3-inch.
What’s also not readily apparent is the upgraded protection courtesy of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, instead of last year’s Gorilla Glass 5. Overall, it feels slightly larger and heavier in my hands.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE now has a flat aluminium frame, instead of a rounded edge. This new design makes the device look thicker, even though it’s actually slightly thinner.
At the bottom, you will find the USB port, as well as the speaker and microphone ports. The Power and Volume control buttons are located on the right side. At the top, you will find more microphone ports, as well as the SIM tray.
In the front, the Galaxy S24 FE still sports the same 10 MP camera in a display punch hole. At the back, you will find the same triple camera combination of a 50 MP Dual Pixel camera, a 12 MP ultra wide-angle camera, and an 8 MP telephoto camera with 3X optical zoom.
The Galaxy S24 FE is powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 2400e, which is a slightly detuned 10-core flagship processor – its Cortex X4 core runs at just 3.11 GHz, instead of 3.21 GHz in the Exynos 2400. That said, it will be kept cool by a 11% larger vapour chamber.
All Galaxy S24 FE models will come with 8 GB of RAM, and storage options of 256 GB and 512 GB for most parts of the world, and 128 GB for certain regions. It is also IP68-rated for dust and water-resistance, so it will withstand immersion in up to 1.5 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
Finally, the Galaxy S24 FE comes with a slightly larger 4,700 mAh battery – up from 4,500 mAh in last year’s Galaxy S23 FE. Together with a more efficient 4nm processor, that larger battery should deliver better battery life. It supports 25 watt wired fast charging, as well as wireless charging at up to 15 watts.
