Let’s take a look at the performance of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE smartphone, which is powered by the Exynos 2400e mobile SoC!
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE : Powered by Exynos 2400e!
The new Galaxy S24 FE is powered exclusively by Samsung’s own Exynos 2400e, which has a slightly detuned prime core. It has ten processor cores arranged in four performance clusters (although Samsung says it’s a triple-cluster architecture):
- 1 x Cortex-X4 (3.11 GHz, instead of 3.21 GHz)
- 2 x Cortex-A720 (2.9 GHz)
- 3 x Cortex-A720 (2.6 GHz)
- 4 x Cortex-A520 (1.95 GHz)
That said, Samsung says it is kept cool by a 11% larger vapour chamber, so it will be able to better deliver sustained performance.
This mobile SoC also comes with the Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU, which is based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture, and supports hardware acceleration for ray-tracing. It also comes with two General NPUs and two Shallow NPUs, as well as a 5G modem that supports Sub-6Ghz and mmWave connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Work Performance
We first tested the Galaxy S24 FE using PCMark, which simulates work applications like web browsing, playing video, writing text and editing photos.

Data Manipulation | 19501 | 14384 | 12171 | 14070 | 12616 |
Will you look at that? The Galaxy S24 FE delivered a huge 24.5% jump in performance over its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE! It also beat the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and came real close to the performance of the Galaxy Z Flip6!
While most of this boost in performance is due to its much faster Exynos 2400e mobile SoC, some credit should be given to its 11% larger vapour chamber. On the other hand, the body of the Galaxy S24 FE feels “toastier” during this benchmark.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Storage Performance
PCMark also has an Android Storage 2.0 benchmark that measures the smartphone’s storage I/O performance.
Storage 2.0 | Z Flip 6 |

Mobile Platform | SD 8 Gen 3 |

Storage Score | 47552 | 41647 | 33005 | 31839 | 23415 |
Sequential Read (MB/s) | 2696.61 | 2592.42 | 2907.37 | 1584.66 | 2953.81 |
Random Read (MB/s) | 59.23 | 38.25 | 60.98 | 31.25 | 51.74 |
Sequential Write (MB/s) | 2956.52 | 603.29 | 3084.95 | 510.16 | 1672.21 |
Random Write (MB/s) | 100.39 | 81.44 | 106.34 | 81.13 | 64.73 |
Surprisingly, the Galaxy S24 FE did poorly in the Storage test. On closer inspection, it looks like it had the best sequential read speed of the five devices in this comparison, beating even the Galaxy Z Flip6, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra!
Its random read performance was good, while its sequential write performance was decent – both coming in third behind the Galaxy Z Flip6, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Where it faltered was in random write performance, where it came in last place – 20% slower than its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE!
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Gaming Performance
For gaming, we tested the Galaxy S24 FE using 3DMark, with these results :
3DMark (Unlimited) |
S24 Ultra |
Z Flip 6 |
S24 FE |
S23 Ultra |

Steel Nomad Light | 1470 | 1447 | 1893 | NA | NA |
Solar Bay | 8576 | 8588 | 8502 | NA | 4570 |
Wild Life Extreme |
5020 | 4810 | 3989 | 3814 | 2636 |
Wild Life | 20534 | 20291 | 14587 | 14554 | 11144 |
Sling Shot Extreme | 19653 | 11570 | 15591 | 13904 | 6912 |
Sling Shot | 22656 | 19341 | 21301 | 16344 | 10690 |
The Galaxy S24 FE did very well in the new non-raytracing 3DMark test – Steel Nomad Light, beating the Galaxy Z Flip6, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, by about 30%.
It also held up well in the Solar Bay ray-tracing 3DMark test, performing just as well as the Galaxy Z Flip6, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, it faltered with older 3DMark tests like Wild Life and Sling Shot, which is why it ended up in third place.
But overall, the Galaxy S24 FE did well with its Exynos 2400e processor, and Xclipse 940 GPU.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE AnTuTu Results
We then tested the Galaxy S24 FE using AnTuTu, yielding these results :
AnTuTu | S24 Ultra |

S23 Ultra |
S23 FE |
Device | SD 8 Gen 3 |
Exynos 2400e |

Exynos 2200 |
AnTuTu Score | 1826776 | 1785693 | 1419487 | 1212174 | 1166868 |
CPU | 456400 | 412213 | 364215 | 261886 | 329078 |
GPU | 682555 | 708298 | 525041 | 538823 | 425455 |
Memory | 380519 | 382332 | 253538 | 236163 | 193981 |
UX | 307302 | 282850 | 276693 | 175302 | 218354 |
Not bad! The AnTuTu benchmark shows that the Galaxy S24 FE was within 2.5% of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and 25% faster than the Galaxy Z Flip6. Even more impressively, the Galaxy S24 FE was 53% faster than its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE!
Performance Summary
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is beyond a generational upgrade of the Galaxy S23 FE. It’s much, MUCH faster than its predecessor!
Built around the Samsung Exynos 2400e, which has a slightly slower prime core, it not only held up well against the Galaxy Z Flip6, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, it offered a huge performance boost over its predecessor.
It also worth pointing out, yet again, that the Galaxy S24 FE has an 11% larger vapour chamber to keep the CPU and GPU cool, for better sustained performance. While that is good for performance, it can make the device really hot.
The Galaxy S24 FE got really hot during these benchmarks. As the AnTuTu benchmark reported, the case temperature rose by almost 10°C, to an uncomfortably hot 40.7°C!
