YOU DON'T WANT THIS - Galaxy S24 FE REVIEW!

[@stevennovakovich2525]

Just got a brand new S24 FE (graphite color only) via Cricket Wireless here in the USA. Cricket is an MVNO that utilizes AT&T towers so there is plenty of coverage. The cost was only $99 for the device and $120 for 2 months of Cricket's "unlimited" plan. So $219.99 and you must stay on Cricket for 6 months. You don't have to keep using the $60/month "unlimited" plan after the first 2 months. So total price? $219.99 + $120 (assuming you go for Cricket's $30/month plan for the final 4 months) = *$339.99, not bad.*

You're right, it's not a fan, it is a phone.

@Twekion there absolutely is no fan inside the phone. There is a vapour chamber though

[@Youtobedo]

Out of all my phone I love this one the most. It feels good runns good and sounds good.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

You said it! I do not need all the bells and whistles that the S24U has and seldom ever shoot video and have no need for the S-Pen or it's hefty price tag! I personally love the larger screen even though it's only 1080p, but I do not game much and video consumption the display is plenty. It's well known the Exynos 2400e is no slouch and has yet to stumble/lag on me or heat up as the S23FE did with it's SD G1 CPU. The S23FE was a very disappointing phone and the bezels WERE an issue. For my needs, the S24FE does everything I throw at it and has not stumbled yet. I surf, consume some videos, emails, trade stocks, check my camera feeds while away, pay bills, control my smart home, and MANY other things and I get well over a day and a half even making a few calls and numerous texts. As YOU stated, it's a solid slab-phone with damn near all the bells and whistles of the higher-end S24 models including DEX, which is a must for me while at work. I pretty much only use the 50Mp camera, which is good and can always crop to get a bigger image with little loss in image quality. I go as far to say the S24FE is the "best" FE since the S20FE as the S21FE was rather blah IMO.

[@mingle6951]

Since different people have different needs, so Fe fits for certain ppl needs. Like my country, Malaysia, the price of S24FE & S24+ were RM1000+ difference, and it's a huge amount for some people. We all knew the S24+ was far better, but when come to budget, we need to reconsider. It's like some ppl always complain about the usage of lcd screen on tablet, but for me I like LCD screen very much, as my eyes feels comfortable on it.

people who hate on phones without even trying them need to get a life. "that phone is better"/"this phone sucks"/"the processor is garbage" in my honest opinion whether you have flagships, midrangers or entry level phones it doesn't matter. just buy the phone that suits you the most.

[@loost68]

The title is wqy different than the content. Clickbaits to its highest stupid level.

[@techwithbenefits]

Heres how I arrived at the title. Majority of my subscribers are likely interested in flagships (S24, S24 Ultra, Fold etc). So, they probably don't want the S24 FE. The title is to say, you don't want this phone. Because they likely don't, BUT it could be the phone you need to have. Careful commenting on things you don't understand

[@loost68]

It also has sharper corners. Connectivity is okay, Speed is excellent. Battery life should be good too. It needs a few charges first. I have the singe SIM, Cdn version. Thanks for the video.

Im disappointed by the battery of this phone, s24 FE battery drains faassssst. I regret buying it

[@omidseyedi5998]

can you please tell me how long it lasts around your estimation during light usage and heavy usage because i’m thinking about buying this phone but im not sure

[@ErudiiP]

Hmm it's weird because in my use (light use) I only need to charge once and the battery lasts until the next day, and when the heavy use, the battery lasts for 13 hours.

[@ErudiiP]

My advice is that you should try yourself instead of having to hear other people's opinions because surely people's tastes are different, the only thing that makes me think before buying this is the chipset is exynos where I prefer snapdragon because I like emulators (custom adreno turnip driver), but finally I tried to buy this and did not regret a little bit, the phone does not overheat too much, the battery is lasts long atleast in my usage, this is the best all rounder phone in my opinion

[@நவீன்குமார்-ப5ன]

Samsung should add sd card slot and headphpne jack and should make it compete with the likes of oneplus, honor, vivo and oppo( upper midranges)

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

Why is Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus better than Samsung Galaxy S24 FE? 32.21% higher pixel density 509 ppi vs 385 ppi, 4GB more RAM memory 12GB vs 8GB, 1.76x higher resolution 1440x3088 vs 1080x2340, 20% more megapixels (front camera) 12MP vs 10MP, 256GB more internal storage space 512GB vs 256GB, Newer Gorilla Glass version ; Gorilla Glass Victus 2 vs Gorilla Glass Victus, 16g lighter 197g vs 213g, SIM cards 1 eSIM, 2 SIM vs1 SIM, 1 eSIM..

@GalaxyBoy_uz think about it there is a reason to why they left the ultra with the snapdragon worldwide, I remember they hyped the 2100 and 2200 so much and in the end they failed to deliver, and this kinda make you hesitant to get another exynos variant even if its good enough now.

The s24+ you can buy for $574 of eBay and on discounted price, you will be able to find s24+ brand new for around $749 or even cheaper. At $450, this is an amazing phone, and the a56 should become the s24 fe, but unfortunately, they try to keep their a5× alive. The a5× doesn't fit in it was great at $349, but once you hit $450-$500, they need to scrap out.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Thanks for posting this. I want a new phone because certain apps don't work on my s10e anymore but even the price point in this s24fe seems exorbitant (it's 679 currently where I am), while the a55 is half priced. I might go the cheaper route for now and buy a more interesting phone later.
