Samsung’s much-anticipated Galaxy S24 FE is making headlines with leaked information, particularly regarding its pricing. Based on recent reports, it seems the new model will come with a substantial price increase compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 FE. Though Samsung has yet to officially announce the phone, the leaks suggest that while the Galaxy S24 FE will still be positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S24 flagship series, it will come at a higher cost.

Key Points:

Galaxy S24 FE leaked price: 799 Euros, which is 100 Euros more than the Galaxy S23 FE.

In India, the Galaxy S24 FE is expected to be priced around Rs 50,000, cheaper than last year’s model, which launched at Rs 59,999.

The Galaxy S24 FE is expected to feature upgrades in design, display, and performance, with some key changes in specs compared to the Galaxy S23 FE.

Pricing Comparison: Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S23 FE

According to a report by Winfuture, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will launch in Europe at 799 Euros (approximately Rs 74,083). This marks a 100 Euros increase compared to the Galaxy S23 FE, which was introduced at 699 Euros. The higher pricing could be due to hardware and feature improvements, though some fans may find this hike surprising, especially for a Fan Edition model.

On the flip side, the Indian pricing appears more favorable, with rumors suggesting the Galaxy S24 FE could be priced at Rs 50,000. This is cheaper than the Rs 59,999 launch price of the Galaxy S23 FE in India, potentially making it an attractive option for buyers looking for a more affordable alternative to flagship devices.

Key Differences Between Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy S23 FE

Display: Both phones sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, but the Galaxy S24 FE is rumored to feature 1,900 nits of peak brightness, offering better outdoor visibility compared to its predecessor.

Processor: The Galaxy S23 FE is powered by the Exynos 2200/Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, depending on the region. The Galaxy S24 FE, however, is expected to come with the Exynos 2400e, a new chipset variant based on the Exynos 2400. This should offer better performance, though the exact differences will become clearer upon official testing.

Cameras: The Galaxy S23 FE came with a triple-camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto). The Galaxy S24 FE is expected to offer the same triple-camera setup but with enhanced sensors for improved image quality, along with better zoom capabilities and low-light performance.

Battery and Charging: Both phones will feature a 4,565mAh battery (marketed as 4,600mAh), but the Galaxy S24 FE might come with more optimized power management for longer battery life. Charging speeds are likely to remain the same, with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Galaxy S24 FE is also tipped to support up to 78 hours of music playback and 29 hours of video playback.

Software: The Galaxy S23 FE launched with One UI 5.1 based on Android 13, while the Galaxy S24 FE will most likely come with One UI 6.1.1 based on Android 14, offering a more refined software experience.

What Else to Expect from the Galaxy S24 FE?

Design: The Galaxy S24 FE is expected to come with a refreshed design, featuring a sleeker build and premium materials. The color options will include Graphite, Blue, Silver/White, Green, and Yellow, offering more variety than the previous model.

Additional Features: Rumors suggest the Galaxy S24 FE could include improved cooling systems, a faster fingerprint sensor, and enhanced AI features to support photography and performance.

Conclusion: Is the Price Increase Justified?

While the Galaxy S24 FE offers some key upgrades over the Galaxy S23 FE, particularly in display brightness, performance, and design, the price increase may raise eyebrows, especially in markets like Europe. However, for Indian consumers, the rumored Rs 50,000 price point could make the Galaxy S24 FE a solid choice in the premium mid-range category. With official announcements expected soon, it will be interesting to see if the Galaxy S24 FE lives up to the growing hype.
