Galaxy S24 FE review

A Big, Bright Screen That's Easy on the Eyes — Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

When you're shopping for a mid-range phone, the screen is often the first place manufacturers cut corners. Not so with this device. The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel is a genuine highlight, offering vibrant colors and deep blacks that make everything from scrolling through social feeds to watching shows feel immersive. The 120Hz refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth navigation, and the brightness is more than adequate for outdoor use.

However, some reviewers have noted that the screen can exhibit a noticeable flicker at lower brightness levels, which might be tiring for sensitive eyes over long periods. It's also impossible to ignore the thick bezels surrounding the display, a design choice that feels somewhat dated compared to the edge-to-edge screens on pricier rivals. For everyday use, though, this is a beautiful screen that punches well above the phone's price tag. It's a key reason why this model is notable in our phone reviews.

Performance That Punches Above Its Price — Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

What this means for Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

Under the hood, the Exynos 2400e chipset and 8GB of RAM deliver surprisingly strong performance. In daily use, the phone feels snappy and responsive, handling everything from heavy multitasking to graphics-intensive gaming without breaking a sweat. This is a level of speed you'd normally expect from a flagship, not a $649 device. The 4,700mAh battery is the real star here, easily lasting a full day of heavy use and often stretching into a second day for lighter users.

While the 25W wired charging is slower than some competitors, the inclusion of 15W wireless charging adds convenient flexibility. Overall, the performance per dollar here is exceptional, making this a compelling option for anyone who wants flagship speed without the flagship price. The phone carries an IP68 water resistance rating, adding peace of mind. For a full breakdown of available models and storage options, check the phone directory.

Cameras That Capture the Moment (and Then Some) — Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The triple camera setup—a 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom—borrows heavily from the more expensive Galaxy S24 Plus. The main camera is a standout, capturing detailed, well-exposed photos in daylight and handling low-light situations competently. The telephoto lens adds genuine versatility, letting you get closer to your subject without a noticeable drop in quality, which is rare at this price.

Samsung's Galaxy AI tools, like object removal and Sketch to Image, add a fun, creative layer to photo editing, though they don't always work perfectly and can require a few tries. Some features are also buried in the settings menus, making them less intuitive to find. Even with these minor software quirks, the camera system is a major strength. You're getting a versatile and capable setup that captures the moment reliably, making this one of the better camera phones in its price bracket.
