Design
The first thing that caught my attention in the design of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is the elegant and simple structure of the device. Although it looks quite similar to the S24 and S24+ models, it also gives the feeling of being an “FE” phone.
Its glossy back surface seems resistant to fingerprints and dirt. Again, the triple camera module on the back has a simple design and is elegantly integrated into the back surface without large protrusions. In this respect, we see that the approach that Samsung has preferred in its phones for the last few years has been continued.
On the other hand, the not-too-large Samsung logo on the back surface also contributes to the premium look of the device. There is Corning Gorilla Glass Victus + glass on the front and back, and aluminum is used on the edges. The body made of these materials allows the device to be held comfortably in the hand and also provides a sense of durability.
The phone’s color options allow users to choose according to their style. Galaxy S24 FE is offered in four different color options such as purple, green, white and graphite. Purple and green color options in particular stand out for users looking for a different option than standard black and white phones. The graphite color that Samsung Turkey sent us for testing has a somewhat formal and heavy air. For a more flashy and fun look, it would be appropriate to choose other colors.
The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offer a very comfortable experience in daily use. With a thickness of 8 mm and a weight of 213 grams, the device is considered thin and light enough for a phone with a 6.7-inch screen. Despite the large screen, the ergonomic design offered does not cause any difficulty even in one-handed use. You can reach most of the screen with your thumb. The rounded structure of the edges makes it easier to hold the phone in the hand and provides comfort for long-term use. In addition to all this, the general design language of the device is in harmony with other Samsung flagship models.
The Galaxy S24 FE’s frame is made of aluminum, which adds to the overall solid feel of the device. This metal frame not only increases durability, but also provides a premium touch. The display frame is kept quite thin, which increases the screen-to-body ratio to a whopping 88 percent, making the device look more modern. The power button and volume up/down keys on the right side of the device are also ergonomically positioned. These keys are conveniently located within reach with one hand.
Another element that stands out in the design is the phone’s resistance to water and dust. The Galaxy S24 FE has an IP68 certification, meaning it can stay in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes without being damaged. This is a great advantage, especially for users with an active lifestyle. Using the device in rainy weather or dusty environments does not cause any concerns thanks to the IP68 certification. Samsung has managed to offer this durability without compromising on aesthetics.
Other details that enhance the user experience in the design of the Galaxy S24 FE also stand out. The USB-C port on the bottom of the device offers fast charging support. There is no headphone jack, which we have become accustomed to in these types of phones. While the main speaker is located on the bottom edge, there is a second speaker on the front, facing forward in the receiver section. There are two microphones on the bottom and top edges. This also minimizes environmental noise, especially during phone calls.
Screen and Sound
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE offers its users a very satisfying experience in terms of display. The phone comes with a 6.7-inch screen with Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology. This screen technology offers vivid colors and a high contrast ratio, making the content look clearer and brighter. The screen resolution is Full HD + (1080 x 2340 pixels), which makes it possible to obtain sharp images. This screen offers an extremely good visual experience, especially for those who consume multimedia content and play games.
The Galaxy S24 FE has a 120Hz refresh rate on its screen, which makes the device very successful in terms of fluidity. The high refresh rate ensures that the transitions and animations made on the screen are extremely smooth. This difference is clearly felt when scrolling through social media feeds, surfing the internet or playing games. It is especially possible to see the difference in this fluidity in games like PUBG Mobile. In addition, this feature reduces eye fatigue and offers a longer comfortable use. This refresh rate technology from Samsung offers the high-class visual experience expected from flagship models.
The screen also comes with HDR10+ support. HDR10+ is a feature that takes the video viewing experience to the next level. This technology provides a wider range of colors and better contrast thanks to the high dynamic range, making the content watched look more realistic. HDR-supported content is especially noticeable when watched on video platforms like YouTube or streaming services like Netflix. In addition, since the brightness level is quite high, it is possible to see the screen easily even outdoors.
The Super HDR feature manages to present the colors of photos and videos in a more natural and balanced way. Thanks to this feature, both shadows and bright areas in the photos and videos taken become more distinct without losing their details. Especially in environments where lighting conditions are variable, this feature increases the quality of the images and provides more professional results. Super HDR enables colors to appear more accurately not only when taking photos but also when watching videos. This screen technology of the Galaxy S24 FE ensures that visual content is experienced in the best way at all times.
Another important feature on the screen side is the blue light filter that provides eye comfort. Samsung aims to provide a comfortable experience even during long-term use by using a screen technology that reduces eye fatigue in this device. Thanks to the blue light filter, the harmful light emitted by the screen is minimized and eye health is protected. When this feature is activated, especially during night use, the screen takes on a warmer color and the eyes are less tired. This offers a significant advantage especially during long-term use in the evening.
Audio performance is also one of the Galaxy S24 FE’s standout features. The device’s stereo speakers offer a powerful and clear audio experience. Dolby Atmos support, in particular, allows the sound to spread over a wider area and provide a three-dimensional sound experience. This feature is especially noticeable when watching movies or playing games. While the details of the sound become much more distinct, environmental sounds are also heard more impressively.
The sound performance of the Galaxy S24 FE is not limited to speakers, but also makes a difference with the use of headphones. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on the device, but there is Bluetooth 5.2 support for wireless headphones. This provides a latency-free and high-quality sound experience. Especially when this device is used with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds series, Dolby Atmos and other sound enhancement technologies are fully supported. Thanks to this, users can listen to all kinds of content with high sound quality.
Finally, the sound settings and personalization options on the Galaxy S24 FE can also be adapted to the needs of users. You can make your music, movie or game experiences more enjoyable by switching between sound modes. On the other hand, with smart sound settings, the device can automatically optimize the sound according to the ambient conditions. Thanks to these personalization options from Samsung, the sound experience of the device remains at its best in every situation. Both on the sound and screen side, the Galaxy S24 FE manages to offer its users an experience that will not be missed by high-end phones.
Performance and Battery
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE manages to deliver high performance in a wide range of situations, from daily use to games. At the heart of the device is the Exynos 2400e processor, a slightly lower-frequency version of Samsung’s Exynos 2400 model. The performance cores of the Exynos 2400e run at a maximum speed of 3.1 GHz, while the standard Exynos 2400 model can go up to 3.2 GHz. This difference is only a small level of 100 MHz, so it is almost imperceptible in daily use. Samsung implemented this frequency reduction in order to increase battery efficiency and optimize heat management.
Thanks to this processor, the device offers stable performance in multitasking and graphics-intensive games. Tests have also confirmed that the Exynos 2400e offers similar performance to the Exynos 2400, despite its lower clock speed. The device’s performance is quite smooth and satisfactory, especially in daily tasks such as using social media, browsing the internet and watching videos. This small adjustment of Samsung’s performance cores prevents the device from overheating during long-term use and provides a cooler usage experience. You feel the device heat up in games like PUBG Mobile, but this temperature does not reach very uncomfortable levels.
In terms of gaming performance, the Exynos 2400e is supported by a powerful GPU. Thanks to this, the Galaxy S24 FE can easily run graphics-intensive games. The 120 Hz refresh rate screen makes the gaming experience smoother. At the same time, the advanced cooling system used in the device ensures that the performance remains smooth and stable even during long gaming sessions. The performance of the device does not decrease, especially during multitasking, allowing users to quickly switch between work and entertainment.
Battery life is another area where the Galaxy S24 FE is strong. The device comes with a 4,700 mAh battery. The increase in volume brought by the larger screen has opened the door to a slightly higher capacity battery compared to the S23 FE . This battery can last all day even with intensive use on a single charge. Samsung’s Adaptive Battery technology optimizes battery performance according to user habits, thus ensuring the battery lasts longer. In addition, the energy efficiency of the Exynos 2400e processor has a direct positive effect on the device’s battery life. Battery performance remains satisfactory even in intensive scenarios such as watching long videos or playing games.
Galaxy S24 FE pleases its users with its fast charging technology. 25W fast charging support allows the device to be fully charged in a short time. Samsung offers ease of use with wireless charging support in addition to fast charging. Especially on busy work days or when you are outside, it is a great advantage for the battery to fill quickly. The device has a system that prevents overheating during fast charging, which ensures safe use during charging.
Battery efficiency and overall stability of the device are due to the optimized structure of the Exynos 2400e processor in particular. By running this processor at a lower clock speed, Samsung has managed to both extend battery life and keep the heating of the device under control. In particular, thanks to multitasking management and effective management of applications running in the background, the energy consumption of the device is minimized. Thus, users can use their devices for long periods of time without worrying about charging.
Software and Security
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE comes with the One UI 6.1 interface based on Android 14. One UI is known as one of the most successful user interfaces that Samsung has developed for years, and it provides a comfortable user experience with this customized interface on the Galaxy S24 FE. On the other hand, Samsung guarantees that it will provide software and security updates to the Galaxy S24 FE for 7 years, which is an important feature that will keep the device up-to-date and secure for a long time.
The device is equipped with Samsung’s Galaxy AI-powered features. These features range from optimizing the device’s performance to taking photos. AI-powered features such as Photo Assistant allow users to easily perform operations such as removing, resizing and positioning objects on their photos. At the same time, Samsung’s ProVisual Engine technology makes photos clearer and more detailed, especially portraits taken in low light become more impressive.
The software on the Galaxy S24 FE also stands out with several AI-based features that make daily tasks much easier for the user. For example, features such as Drawing Assistant and Spoken Translator allow users to instantly translate texts or create images from simple drawings. Spoken Translator is now compatible with third-party applications, especially WhatsApp and Instagram, and aims to support more than 20 languages by the end of the year. Samsung has stated that Turkish language support will come before the end of 2024, and we believe that Turkish is among the more than 20 languages. Then the Galaxy AI features will be much more useful for users in Turkey.
On the security front, Samsung is taking the device’s security to the next level with its Knox security platform. Knox provides both software and hardware-based security, ensuring the protection of the device and data. In addition, biometric security features such as under-screen fingerprint reader and facial recognition offer users fast and secure access. The Secure Folder feature in particular provides an additional layer of security by keeping personal and business data separate.
Digital Wellness features offered by Samsung help users manage their device usage in a healthier way. Screen time tracking, digital balance features and Focus Mode allow users to eliminate distractions and provide more productive use. In addition, with Samsung DeX support, you can turn your phone into a desktop computer and experience a wider screen.
At the same time. One UI 6.1 also offers powerful features in multitasking management. It is possible to use multiple applications at the same time with the multi-window feature. Thanks to the task optimization supported by Galaxy AI, applications running in the background can be managed without affecting the performance of the device. This provides a fast and smooth transition, especially in multitasking, so that users can comfortably use their devices for both work and entertainment.
Finally, Samsung’s solutions for privacy and data security are also quite remarkable. The Privacy Panel allows users to see which apps have access to which data and manage these permissions. Additional security layers such as Knox Vault protect users’ sensitive data and keep the device secure at a high level. With these extensive security measures offered on the software side, the Galaxy S24 FE offers a very secure experience for both individual and corporate users.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE’s camera performance is quite successful in its price segment and offers ambitious features. The 50 MP main camera carries the same sensor used in the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models, and this allows you to get image quality similar to more expensive models. The main camera successfully captures details in both bright and shadowy areas thanks to its high dynamic range (HDR). Tones are more realistic and balanced, especially in photos taken in daylight. Offering plenty of detail without excessive sharpening, this camera creates a natural depth effect, especially in portrait shots.
The 12 MP ultra-wide camera, on the other hand, performs less well in some situations. In low light conditions in particular, there can be a loss of detail and images can be soft. On the other hand, this camera, which provides successful results in good lighting conditions, is ideal for wide-angle shots. However, the sharpness of ultra-wide-angle photos is not as impressive as the main camera. Nevertheless, thanks to its wide dynamic range, colors and contrast balance are preserved, so all the details of the scene are captured clearly.
The 8 MP telephoto camera also offers good results when zooming in, offering 3x optical zoom. When used in portrait mode, this telephoto lens blurs the background nicely and brings the main subject to the forefront. However, there is a significant drop in image quality at hybrid zoom levels such as 10x or 30x. That is, zooms at these levels are often far from being usable. Despite this, the 3x optical zoom provides satisfactory results in everyday use.
On the selfie camera side, there is a 10 MP front camera, and this camera performs successfully in both photo and video shooting. Especially in well-lit environments, details are sharp and colors are natural. In portrait mode, background blurring is done quite well with AI-supported effects. In video shooting, the selfie camera can record in 4K resolution, which is an advantage for vloggers or social media content producers.
Samsung’s ProVisual Engine technology focuses on improving low-light performance. This AI-powered feature analyzes the scene during shooting to clarify details and enhance colors. Even in night shots, problems such as glare or noise are minimized, and the results are impressive. ProVisual Engine makes a difference in shots taken with both the main camera and the telephoto lens, but it may be difficult to say the same success for the ultra-wide-angle lens.
Video performance is also one of the striking features of the Galaxy S24 FE. The device can record video at 8K resolution and 30 fps, which allows you to get extremely high-quality images. In addition, the smooth transition between cameras during video recording improves the user experience. Thanks to the image stabilization feature, clear and stable images can be recorded even in moving scenes. However, the ultra-wide camera can produce softer results in video shooting, which further highlights the clarity of the main camera.
Instant Slow Motion is one of the innovations that comes with the Galaxy S24 FE. This feature allows you to slow down recorded videos and artificial intelligence adds frames to make the video more fluid. However, this feature often does not produce as successful results as expected. Still, such creative video options allow users to take different shots.
The Galaxy S24 FE’s camera interface has a user-friendly structure. Various shooting modes and manual settings offer a wide range of options for photography enthusiasts. Thanks to the Pro mode, it is possible to manually adjust settings such as ISO, shutter speed and white balance. In addition, Samsung-specific modes such as Single Take allow you to take photos from different angles and effects with a single click. This is a useful feature, especially for those who want to take creative photos.
In summary, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE’s camera performance is quite good for its price. The detail and dynamic range performance offered by the main camera distinguishes the phone from its competitors in this segment. While the telephoto lens is sufficient for daily use, the hybrid zoom performance is limited. The ultra-wide-angle camera only provides good results in ideal lighting conditions. All these features turn the Galaxy S24 FE into a powerful camera phone in the mid-range.
