Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (Exynos 2400e) Performance Review!

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.

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 :

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 :

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!

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE hands-on preview in all 4 colours!

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.

Recommended : Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review : Tech ARP Editor’s Choice!

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.
