Great review, but you seem super harsh on performance, from reviews I’ve seen and comparisons it seems to have very similar performance to the regular S24 and actually better here and there because it’s underclocked & less throttled, so I’m slightly confused

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

In my usage it behaved exactly as expected given an 2400e x 8gb ram. Sure it's possible to push for example genshin at 60fps, or 20 chrome tabs - but I consistently ran into small glitches like: longer loading times, random app or window restarts.

[@josephhughes1498]

@ Ah thanks for the info, I just realised you’re in the US aren’t you? That might be why it came across to me that you don’t think it’s as good value when you have a snapdragon in the regular S24 & 24 plus and we get Exynos in those models, in the UK the performance drop is less between the FE & pricier models

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

You're right about that in daily usage there's a sharp contrast between the 2 chipsets

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Great unboxing and first impression keep it up as always bro

[@Youtobedo]

I went with this phone over the iPhone 16 + it's a good phone I don't really have any problems with it. The vibration moder could be better as I am missing calls because it's not that strong but other then that I love the phone and got it on sale well .....I should say miss marked to 399 it looks like that's what it's going to be on black Friday 🤷 but for that price it's an unbelievable phone

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

That's a really good price*

[@amitpdy23]

How much is SOT on this device

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

About 11 hrs for me.

[@brewnoh9606]

What's your thoughts between this vs pixel 8 (not 8a)? They're around the same price point. Great review btw!

[@AltafHussain-qb5yp]

I am personally using the s24 FE and also own s24 ultra . I can say that s24 Fe is a great phone in all aspects

[@peanuts7632]

4:00 i have watched alot of S24 ultra that has gen 3 that big boy even struggle trying to max graphics after a few mins fps dips cause of heat gen 3 is not perfect.

[@Pamela-ui9no]

I have the one plus 9pro how do you think this compares to it?

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

Personally I like the camera output and build quality more than the one plus. Yhat being said i like boxy designs and kindof like the bezels as well - so its preference there. The display is very preferential though so I can't really talk on that. Out of the box 1+ has much less bloatware though and that's always appreciated.

[@williamcopeland2617]

For $499, the phone is a great deal. The only issues I have is 1, the phone is definitely slippery, and 2, the battery is ass. Hopefully, Samsung will release some updates to help improve the battery life.

[@stevennovakovich2525]

I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (128GB, graphite color only) for $99! via US-based Cricket Wireless. Have to purchase 2 months of their 'flagship' 'unlimited' networking service which adds another $120, but hey....2 months of unlimited data and a great phone like this for $219 isn't bad at all. Have to stay on Cricket for 6 months for it to be unlockable. Can change phone plan to a cheaper one after the first 2 months of the 'unlimited' networking service you purchase. Cricket Wireless uses AT&T towers.

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

That's insane!!

[@andyH_England]

I always need to understand the FE, as it is generally released when the current flagship is nearing end-of-life. For instance, the S24 Plus can be bought at resellers (open box) for £600. The S24FE is £650 in the UK but can be purchased for £450 in an open box. I would easily pay the £150 extra for the Galaxy S24 Plus, mainly for the extra RAM, non-Exynos, superior cameras, and higher base storage. So, as reasonable as it is, I would recommend paying extra for the superior S24+.

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

Great point here☝️ - I do still appreciate the existence of the FE lineups - yeh Samsung's competing with itself to an extent but also with other affordable options thus bringing prices down more or at least keeping the "affordable" phones affordable. Generally as we saw with One plus what started as the affordable flagship killer became what it tried to destroy.

[@andyH_England]

@@ChilledFossilofficial Yes, it will sell well at carriers, and the sticker price in stores will be persuasive for non-techies. As yearly past sales prove, it is well worth a place in the lineup.

[@rohitanshukhilar1904]

​@@andyH_England here in india fe series gets huge discount after 6 months of their release

[@andyH_England]

@@rohitanshukhilar1904 Yes, with those significant discounts I could not put anyone off buying the FE. At a price below £500 in the UK, it is hard to beat.

[@Pamela-ui9no]

I wanted to update to the newest one plus but they aren't selling them at T-Mobile anymore 😕

[@the3gamingnerds458]

I have the s24 fe. And I love it. I can't see a difference between it and my sisters 23 ultra.

From someone that used to be a Samsung user but then move to Vivo. I kinda miss One UI and Galaxy Gift but the fast charge on Vivo V series is much faster hehe with larger battery 🔋 and ROM 512 gb. The front face camera is also greater in details. I will go back to Samsung again if the price drop but for S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

Yeh the fast charging on some of these brands is real - not so for samsung or apple yet.

[@mediocritycentral]

Why not the X series if you're looking at the S25 Ultra? I have the X100 Ultra and I came from the S23 Ultra and it's been great. Way faster charging and much reliable cameras since there's no shutter lag.

[@Shafiqur016]

I noticed frame drops in asphalt legends a game which even galaxy a55 runs smoothly! I think this s24fe needs more softaware updates and optimization since its released 2 months back! Remember s24 ultra wasn't perfect during first few month!

[@yami3354]

The only considerbale thing about that price is the 7 years update so ig that's a good thing

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

And hardware* it's seriously good! Just held back a bit by 2400ex8gb

[@Xekiel08]

ooh man.. how i wish samsung would put a flagship or midrange dimensity chipset to a S series FE's ... just so that i can do the bandlocking XD i really love samsung ONE UI ... T_T
