Camera and Design
The camera setup appears to remain unchanged from the S23 FE, with a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The device is rumored to come in at least five colors: Graphite, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver/White.
Battery Life
With a larger 4,565mAh battery, Samsung is reportedly promoting impressive endurance numbers, including up to 78 hours of music playback and 29 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Pricing and Availability
While an exact price point hasn't been leaked, the spec upgrades suggest the S24 FE might cost slightly more than its predecessor. The device is expected to launch globally in October, potentially alongside the budget-friendly Galaxy A16 slated for a December release.
As with all leaks and rumors, it's important to approach this information with caution until Samsung makes an official announcement. However, if these specs prove accurate, the Galaxy S24 FE could be an attractive option for those seeking flagship-like features at a more accessible price point.
Update: Friday August 16 16:26
Recent developments indicate that the Galaxy S24 FE's launch is imminent in India, as the device has appeared in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database with the model number SM-S721B/DS. This certification is a crucial step before a device can be sold in the country, suggesting that the phone's release in India is just weeks away. The BIS listing aligns with the model number found on Samsung's own support page, further confirming the device's impending arrival. While the global launch is still set for October, this certification process in India provides additional evidence of Samsung's commitment to a widespread release of the S24 FE in the coming months.
