Samsung Galaxy S24 FE brings flagship features to $1,099 price

Samsung has revealed its Galaxy S24 FE handset, a more affordable phone built to complement the brand’s flagship range.

Following on from last year’s S23 FE, the $1,099 Samsung Galaxy S24 FE fits into the company’s late-year approach of offering high-end features at a more affordable price. This time around, the focus is on Galaxy AI. That means popular Gen AI features like Google’s Circle to Search, Chat Assist, and Live Translate trickle down to the lower price point.

At 6.7 inches, it’s the same size as the Galaxy S24+, including Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The FE’s 4,700mAh battery is slightly smaller, and it uses the Exynos 2400e chipset alongside 8GB of RAM.

Like the core Galaxy S24 series, the FE model features a triple-camera array including a 3x optical telephoto lens. It has a slightly lower 8-megapixel count than the more expensive phones, but it won’t make a huge real-world difference.

From a gaming perspective, Samsung claims the Galaxy S24 FE houses a larger vapour chamber. This helps dissipate heat more effectively, preventing overheating and prolonging performance for longer periods.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE price and release date in Australia

Launching in Australia on 10 October alongside the Galaxy Tab S10 tablets, the S24 FE starts at $1,099 for the model with 128GB of onboard storage. Pre-orders start today at various retailers, including various offers when you sign up to a plan. Samsung’s latest phone comes in three colours: Graphite, Blue, and Mint.

It’s a little pricier than last year’s $999 FE model, yet still $300 cheaper than the standard S24.

One of the most important highlights is Samsung’s commitment to seven years of operating system and security updates. It’s a guarantee the brand has made with its recent flagship phones, so it’s good to see the post-launch support extend to the more affordable handset.
