Samsung Galaxy S24 FE specs

The thing the Technology team love about the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE the most is that it features the same great flagship specs, but at a more affordable price than the Samsung Galaxy S24 series (which starts from £799). So what are the features that have got us so excited? Let's take a look.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has the same main lens as the Samsung Galaxy S24 series; the premium camera set-up has a 50MP wide lens and 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, both of which are supported by optical image stabilisation (OIS), as well as a 12MP ultra-wide lens and 10MP selfie camera. If you like to take photos on third party applications, such as Instagram, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE takes great photos.

Earlier, we mentioned the 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED 2x display is fantastic for gaming, and the smartphone's specs are too, unsurprisingly. The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has a powerful Exynos 2400 series chipset which enables an uncompromised gaming experience compatible with cutting-edge features like Ray Tracing.

We all know that when it comes to gaming, speed and efficiency are the two most important elements, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE utilises several key features to stay ahead of the competition. For example, a 1.1x larger vapour chamber which improves cooling, a bigger 4,700mAh battery, a 120Hz refresh rate provides a smooth, and Vision Booster to optimise colour and contrast for clear gaming, even in the sunlight.

The new Samsung Galaxy S24 FE also offers full transcription when interviewing, which is a great feature for our RadioTimes.com Going Out team!
