Quick SummarySamsung officially reveals the Galaxy S24 FE (short for ‘Fan Edition’), packing a similar specification to the S24 Plus model in Samsung’s top-tier range.The FE’s twist on the formula, however, is that it ditches Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor for Samsung’s own Exynos 2400, while coming in at a lower price point – adding further appeal.

Samsung officially reveals the Galaxy S24 FE (short for ‘Fan Edition’), packing a similar specification to the S24 Plus model in Samsung’s top-tier range.

The FE’s twist on the formula, however, is that it ditches Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor for Samsung’s own Exynos 2400, while coming in at a lower price point – adding further appeal.

This may come as zero surprise: afterSamsung leaked the Galaxy S24 FE accidentally– it went up for pre-order in the US ahead of its official reveal, whoops – the new Galaxy S24 handset is now official. The ‘Fan Edition’ model is clearly here to stay, therefore, despite rumours in recent years that the series might be coming to an end.

The new Galaxy S24 FE is still every bit the flagship, though, as it’s largely akin to the earlierGalaxy S24 Plusmodel inSamsung’s top-tier range. However, it brings a new twist to the party – inside is Samsung’s own Exynos 2400 processor, not the Qualcomm Snapdragon staple that’s used across the rest of the S24 range (in most regions anyway).

Samsung and Qualcomm do still have an agreement in place – and the rumouredGalaxy S25 series is said to be Snapdragon onlyfor one good reason – but the S24 FE presents the perfect opportunity for Samsung to use its own silicon, cut the production cost, and nestle this new Fan Edition model into its cut-price position.

The design looks very much part of the S24 family, with a triple-lens camera arrangement around the back offering a 50-megapixel main, 12MP wide, and 3x optical zoom (at 8MP, making it a little lower-res than the 10MP norm). And withSamsung Galaxy AI on board, you’ll be able to further manipulate photos and benefit from a variety of automated features.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will be available for pre-order from 4 October in the UK (other regions may vary), with Blue, Graphite, Grey, Mint, and Yellow colour options available. There’s a base 128GB storage model, with a 256GB variant being the top-end version if you wish a pay a touch extra.
