The Samsung FE phones are the only ones you should buy from Samsung. You get 90% of the flagship phones at half the price. I have the s24 pluss and I wish I didn't pay $1,000 for the s24 pluss when I could have gotten this one for $449 with a trade in of any old phone. Don't play into the chip set and all the other jargon all there's reviews like to tell you. So yeah, hope this happens.
Don't know if it's a problem, still sounds reasonable. But yes, it's not a no-brainer, especially if comparing the 256gb version, then it's only 20-25% cheaper.
You have a point. Its a great value phone. But saying its the " only ones you should buy from Samsung " is an overstatement. There is a reason, the flagships have flagship price. Those little corner cutters to save price on the FE, you can not tell via a review or specs, you must use it to feel them. And trust me, you do FEEL them, it depends on you whether those "experiences" are deal breakers or not. Plus, there are Flip and Fold phones from Samsung, which imo once i used them, its hard for me to go back to bar phone atm. But nonetheless, s24FE is a great value phone, no arguement.
100% agree. I have the 20FE and was looking to upgrade, for $449 month on cricket. Plus I'm old, and about the only part of this review that really seem to stand out, is that they've gone even larger, so the phone won't fit my hands or pockets now. Plus, the reviewer mentioned poor low light performance. I haven't been unhappy with the 20FE but I'm going to look for cost conscience phones of the same size or smaller. Edit: no memory card??? Ehhh.
TBF I prefer a bigger display size because watching movies and playing games is more enjoyable. I also guess the majority of consumers think the same as people tend to buy larger and larger smartphones. But I understand your point.
For 95% of people in their 99% of time they use a case, so I don't understand why people really love to talk about the material of the back, not on topics of density/weight, thermal conductivity, impact resistance, but on topics of whether it collects fingerprint or dust. Changing from old A series to modern galaxy all series design, the biggest disappointment is that it becomes so uncomfortable to hold, rectangle replaces rond edges, weight increases much. The use of glass takes an essential role in it. So if someone is wise to comment on materials, I want him to know good quality plastics is the best choice.
My current phone is an LG with a glass back. It's surprisingly slippery. I took it out of the box, placed it on my computer's keyboard, and it promptly slid onto the floor. Lately, I'm a fan of plastic.
"Flagship user tires galaxy S24 fan edition" if I was coming from something like the A22, I prob wouldn't even have mentioned the display bezels. but, I do think for a phone of its price point, this is something that could be better.
So you like carrying a bulkier phone with less screen like an iphone SE then? The s24fe bezels are ugly af there are cheaper phones with even bezels or better screen to body ratio. It's the only thing holding me back from getting one rn.
I definitely don't have a problem with these bezels in a way I would with the Pixel 8a.

I just switched from a Galaxy A11 to the S24 FE. Got it on sale at Best Buy for US$500. Couldn't have made a better choice, as I find the A series is MUCH slower, even for my casual use. I bought a higher-end OtterBox case, and a screen protector, plus had to buy the wall adapter (OtterBox) - don't know why they don't come with the wall adapter - how could you use it WITHOUT one? So, I'm all-in at about US$600. A great buy, as far as I'm concerned. (BTW - I reset my A11, and it's much faster now. If you have an A series Galaxy, and want to keep it going, just reset it, and re-install the apps. You'll find it will still perform well.)
Just got a brand new S24 FE (graphite color only) via Cricket Wireless here in the USA. Cricket is an MVNO that utilizes AT&T towers so there is *plenty* of coverage. The cost was only *$99* for the device and *$120* for 2 months of Cricket's "unlimited" plan. So *$219.99* and you must stay on Cricket for 6 months. You don't have to keep using the $60/month "unlimited" plan after the first 2 months, the service you've already paid for. *Amazing value in that you don't have to come up with like $650 to get it.* After 6 months your phone can be unlocked and you can be on your merry way.

I just got it and I was not expecting much because it's time to renew my contract so I pick whatever it's good and cheap, phone is really good so far so I highly recommend it if you like good quality not paying an arm and a leg...
I have the s24 FE and love it but have one issue and I can't find a solution for it online, maybe someone here can help me out TIA... When I talk to text in text messaging and send the text the text I just sent repeats itself in the new message box to be sent again, why is it doing this???
In Canada, the S24FE is $0 for black friday. Free if you get a two year plan. Free! I'm getting it this week because it's free and it's good enough. Yes, there are better phones out there but it doesn't beat free. Not spending extra money on a phone. Big screen, decent camera, decent processor, what's not to like? I'm not spending extra for a flagship phone. A few years ago with this spec, this would have been a flagship phone. I'm not an instagramer. I don't need perfect pictures. Thanks for the review!!
People are so panic about the price look at the Samsung 24 Ultra . It was released in $1300 but now you can buy around $800-900 . Everyone knows Samsung phones are starts reduce the price after few months. just wait 4-5 months it will be less than $500 for sure. That's why I always say don't buy Samsung mobiles immediately after the release.
I got one yesterday and I think the AI features that you dont get in lower end androids are really cool. I cant imagine it not being up to par for any task you may need (except photo).The cameras could be a little better and the edge of it does make it look and feel cheap. It looks like the older S4.
I just ordered the galaxy s24 FE im hoping it's good, anythings got to be better than the galaxy A32 5G ive got just now this phone is painfully slow, so im looking forward to getting my S24 FE Thanks for the review.
There are few thing that I want from a smartphone: decent camera, long software support and an USB 3. S24 FE has all I need. It's quite bizarre that many newer (but not much cheaper) phones still have ancient USB 2. And Google Pixel 9 (non-Pro) even lacks camera pro mode.
Thank you for the "honest" review! You NAILED every aspect this phone offers. As YOU stated, this phone is bar FAR better than the S23FE Snapdragon 3 Gen1 that I used for a year. Also, I do NOT take "professional" picture/video and the S24FE is MORE than enough for most, which is on par with the S24+ unless you nit-pic. The S24FE is NO slouch and actually heats up LESS than an Exynos 2400 CPU under heavy loads, which is why they tuned down ONE core from 3.2Ghz to 3.1Gz with a LARGER heat chamber on the 2400e. It's very snappy and has yet to stumble on me yet as the Snapdragon S23FE did all the time as well as the HEAT. Now, as far as price, I got the S24FE in the USA for $609 with 256Gb of storage AND sold my S23FE for $290. So, the overall gains are MORE than worth it for the overall price I paid and selling my previous phone with the LONG seven-year update cycle. (I'll NEVER keep this phone for this long, btw!) I was a Samsung NOTE user for YEARS staring with the Note 3. My last Note was the 10+ 5g which I dropped and ended up replacing it with an S20FE which was actually FASTER and have NO need for the S-Pen and NO longer wish to PAY the INSANE price for the new ULTRA models. The FE is a GOOD compromise and the S24FE is enough for my needs that offers DEX, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging for my buds, and has an improved battery life. The bezels are ALSO reduced on the 24FE vs. the 23FE and with a proper MAG-Safe case is hardly an issue.
@@tannerdefibaugh7495 LOL! They "got" too expensive after the Note 10+. I personally do not need all the bells and whistles at $1400 bucks that I'll never use. I hardly EVER used the S-Pen for example. Most "features" today work WELL without the S-Pen anymore! Like "Circle to search" and Gemini. Would NEVER PAY for a 1Tb storage version phone when you can EASILY swap-out content using an inexpensive Flash-Drive and I store NOTHING in the "cloud'!
2400e is actually the underclocked version of 2400 which beats the crap out of 8gen3 in gaming and with vulkan ie android 15 its going to shine as amd gpu does not support open gl by deafualt so they use angle an overlay to run these games while snapdragon also needs angle to run vulkun games

Watching just for shits and giggles. I have the S24 Plus. I used the Ultra for years and I was disappointed when Samsung merged the Ultra and the Note series. 8:09
LOLL , Me too.. boxing day loyal customer offer.. I have been with Koodo for 15 years.. month to month always got my phones from them on tab.. but today my bill went down 10 bucks, free international calling,, 60 gig of data, and a free Samsung S24 F.E. I was looking to change plans or by a phone but who in their right mind would turn down that phone for free.. I thought it was 5 bucks a month on the tab, which I was willing to pay.. but no I am actually getting that phone with sim card and cord for "free".. what a great day..
I cant bring myself to upgrade cos the phone size, chip, and main camera is the the only upgrade from my s20 fe. Everything else is similar but the s20 fe thas a 32mp selfie, sd card up to 1TB. It feels like a rip off if i upgrade.
I can’t decide between s23 and s24fe, for the following reasons: - battery life is important for me, but I’m not an intensive user - I don’t usually like phones that are too big - the bezels are quite cheaply-made tbh Would ya’ll say that given that I should go for the 23, or the battery is particularly bad?
If you want to use your phone for long period of time, then go for s24 fe because it has larger battery and 7 years of updates. But if you use your phone for 1 or 2 years then go for s23 because it has smaller bezel and a true flagship experience.
Maybe it's because I'm coming from an A71, but the S24 FE has an amazing speaker. I didn't realize it had TWO speakers! One on the top, and one on the bottom. Is that a standard feature nowadays? Either way, it's a very nice feature because it sounds like a higher quality portable speaker. I'm gonna miss the macro camera from the A71, though. Especially because I take pictures of action figures and close ups. That's my only nitpick.
Might be exynos but it handles warzone mobile great in my experience. My S21+ was said to be able to handle it, but my game would crash at times. The S24 FE did amaizng i was even able to play in higher graphics than what i was able to use and didnt use all 8gb of ram
💰💰💰😊 Now I need to ask what is a 1 plus 12 that you were talking about because It’s a phone I’ve never heard of and I live in Canada in Edmonton Alberta actually. At all the phones on the market what would you say is you’re number one pick only ones I’m familiar with her iPhone and Samsung right now I’m kind of trying to decide between the both of them
So as someone who owns a A52, plays games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves and uses Capcut on this phone, is upgrading to a S24 FE a good choice?
Im going to be getting this for free with our phone plan with Verizon. In fact the cost of our plan will go down by 15 bucks per month. Its either this or tthe pixel 9. But i love the user interface on samsung and for 3 years i think itll do before i go flagship again
here in dk it costs 899, if yout just buy the phone alone. i got a deal with a mobile subscribtion, and payd only 119 for the phone, and 250 for 6 month for the subscribtion. 5g, 1tb data, free call and sms. that makes it a no brainer to me.
Here in the UK, I've seen £632 for the 128 gb model with 100gb data, and £681 for the 256gb model, with 100gb of data. Both on 2 year contracts. These are the lowest prices I could find after a quick look.
I bought my 256gb S24 fe direct from Samsung 2 weeks ago. With the Blue Light discount and trading in my old S10 I paid £459, plus I got a free Galaxy Watch with it. A good deal indeed.
I got the 256gb version for under 500£ today off the samsung website & ill be able to claim the watch as well once arrived. The samsung website right now has 10% discount on the device specifically
In Netherlands it is 600 euro vs regular S24 *checks prices*, also 600 euro 😅 At the moment nobody is buying it here, should have some discounts in a month or two
1) Nobody's paying full price. I got mine for $ 474.99 + taxes in Canada with coupon and trading in a broken non-functional phone for a $200 credit. Many people did that. 2) You need a stand for the mike instead of holding it.
I do not include trade-ins, and promos when talking about these devices because for starters, they're not permanent, and depend on region. You could say the same for any phone. The Fold 6 is like $1000 after trade-in and promos, but it's $2700 MSRP in Canada. That's a savings of $1,700, but that doesn't mean the phone is $1,000. I am also holding the mic in this because the stand I have to boom it is not in my house, I am in the process of moving studios. I needed to re-shoot the A-Roll for this video on a whim, last night, because the audio did not record in the previous go-around. It doesn't hurt to be a reasonable person, you don't need to be negative in a comment.
You're right, nobody's paying full price. Except that applies true to any phone. The price difference still remains. The FE is potentially a bad value at its current pricing because of that. There is nothing stopping anybody from trading in with any phone.
Samsung really messed up its FE line-up by increasing the size from 6.4 to 6.7 inches. I hope Samsung will continue to launch 6.1-6.2 screen sizes in its flagships.
I find it odd that here in Australia the fe is costlier , S24 8/256 is $1137 and the S24FE 8/256 is $1187 . My backup old HTC phone now does not function as a phone because 3g has just been turned off and it doesn't support VoLTE so my current Samsung will become the backup and I'm in the market for a new main phone .

Dang man. I miss my s10e so bad, it was my favorite phone of all time. I wish Samsung would make a smaller form factor version of their flagships again. I would have rather bought an "s24e" rather than this s24 fe BEHEMOTH that I am receiving in a few days 😂 I only bought it because it was a good deal 😢
Same, 120$ CAD at that, so that's like 85$ USD I think.I know some people are super jealous of me for having near flagship quality samsung for pennies, worth every $.
Then what would you look at at that price point, as there is pixel 8, and 8pro for 100 eur more here in ireland, S24fe can be for 512eur in three, xiaomi 14t is 499, my wife takes a lot of photos and i can get pixel 8 pro for 649 eur with 256gb storage but the g3 chip is smoked out, i wish pixel dropped that chip
RAM is the only good thing about A55. It’s worse in every single other way. Even in America Smasnug decided to skip A55 so that people buy S23FE before this came out.
@anetizen6404 It is worse but also so much cheaper. Samsung didn't offer it in the states because it sells like hot cakes everywhere else, they wanted to get rid of the s23 fe which was just bad and expensive. My point was though that the s24 fe is not a midranger, far from it. These videos are misleading.
yeah, I'm not a mid-ranger kinda person, but for a young kiddo in the family, this would be a great phone I suppose, if they could be persuaded to avoid the iPhone...which is not likely...hahahaha!💰
💰Genuinely, I'd just get the A55 and save yourself two hundred dollars. It's virtually identical specs-wise. I realise that's easy to say from Eurpope though as I don't believe Samsung sell the A55 in the US (not sure about Canada).
@@lakshaysiwach3652 I understand. But the last “cheap” phone I’ve used was an old Lumia windows phone from when I was a kid. I need to be in tune with what people are using these days, ahaha. Flagships are awesome, but need a baseline for what a lot of people are using out there!

with it not being that bright outdoors, it can actually become brighter with adaptive brightness turned on! thats what gsmarena measured, dont know why it works like that though
This phone isn't bad since it's wired charging speed is on par with the Pixel 9 and Samsung s24 that are packed with 25W wired charging🔋
Also the same as the A15
The S24 FE is available now for $509 with any Android phone trade-in. This is for a $256GB model.
I just switched from a Galaxy A11 to the S24 FE. Got it on sale at Best Buy for US$500. Couldn't have made a better choice, as I find the A series is MUCH slower, even for my casual use. I bought a higher-end OtterBox case, and a screen protector, plus had to buy the wall adapter (OtterBox) - don't know why they don't come with the wall adapter - how could you use it WITHOUT one? So, I'm all-in at about US$600. A great buy, as far as I'm concerned. (BTW - I reset my A11, and it's much faster now. If you have an A series Galaxy, and want to keep it going, just reset it, and re-install the apps. You'll find it will still perform well.)
Just got a brand new S24 FE (graphite color only) via Cricket Wireless here in the USA. Cricket is an MVNO that utilizes AT&T towers so there is *plenty* of coverage. The cost was only *$99* for the device and *$120* for 2 months of Cricket's "unlimited" plan. So *$219.99* and you must stay on Cricket for 6 months. You don't have to keep using the $60/month "unlimited" plan after the first 2 months, the service you've already paid for. *Amazing value in that you don't have to come up with like $650 to get it.*
After 6 months your phone can be unlocked and you can be on your merry way.
Got mine 4 days ago and im really happy with it but i used a s20fe before so its a big upgrade
Same. Have S20Fe now, most likely going S24fe very soon. Cheers
@@DGH19 yeah cheers!
We have S20 FE, and I just got my husband the S24 FE. He asked why I never got one. If I do, I'm not sure if I should get S24 FE or Google Pixel 9.

I have the s24 FE and love it but have one issue and I can't find a solution for it online, maybe someone here can help me out TIA...

In Canada, the S24FE is $0 for black friday. Free if you get a two year plan. Free! I'm getting it this week because it's free and it's good enough. Yes, there are better phones out there but it doesn't beat free. Not spending extra money on a phone. Big screen, decent camera, decent processor, what's not to like? I'm not spending extra for a flagship phone. A few years ago with this spec, this would have been a flagship phone. I'm not an instagramer. I don't need perfect pictures. Thanks for the review!!
Which Provider is offering it for Free?
How much per month for a 2 year plan? Thanks
@@sg2326 something atrociously high unfortunately

People are so panic about the price look at the Samsung 24 Ultra . It was released in $1300 but now you can buy around $800-900 . Everyone knows Samsung phones are starts reduce the price after few months. just wait 4-5 months it will be less than $500 for sure. That's why I always say don't buy Samsung mobiles immediately after the release.
Uhhh... the 23 ultra is sitting at $735, so I think you're pretty off-base here.
I got one yesterday and I think the AI features that you dont get in lower end androids are really cool. I cant imagine it not being up to par for any task you may need (except photo).The cameras could be a little better and the edge of it does make it look and feel cheap. It looks like the older S4.
I just ordered the galaxy s24 FE im hoping it's good, anythings got to be better than the galaxy A32 5G ive got just now this phone is painfully slow, so im looking forward to getting my S24 FE
Thanks for the review.
You're gonna freaking love this phone coming from that junk bro. Congrats & Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Your review and opinion is much appropriated, very genuine! 💰💰 a new sub!
There are few thing that I want from a smartphone: decent camera, long software support and an USB 3. S24 FE has all I need. It's quite bizarre that many newer (but not much cheaper) phones still have ancient USB 2. And Google Pixel 9 (non-Pro) even lacks camera pro mode.
Tks for the great information on this phone. I can tell you know phones well. Just bought one on Black Friday prices.
Thank you for the "honest" review! You NAILED every aspect this phone offers. As YOU stated, this phone is bar FAR better than the S23FE Snapdragon 3 Gen1 that I used for a year. Also, I do NOT take "professional" picture/video and the S24FE is MORE than enough for most, which is on par with the S24+ unless you nit-pic. The S24FE is NO slouch and actually heats up LESS than an Exynos 2400 CPU under heavy loads, which is why they tuned down ONE core from 3.2Ghz to 3.1Gz with a LARGER heat chamber on the 2400e. It's very snappy and has yet to stumble on me yet as the Snapdragon S23FE did all the time as well as the HEAT. Now, as far as price, I got the S24FE in the USA for $609 with 256Gb of storage AND sold my S23FE for $290. So, the overall gains are MORE than worth it for the overall price I paid and selling my previous phone with the LONG seven-year update cycle. (I'll NEVER keep this phone for this long, btw!)
I was a Samsung NOTE user for YEARS staring with the Note 3. My last Note was the 10+ 5g which I dropped and ended up replacing it with an S20FE which was actually FASTER and have NO need for the S-Pen and NO longer wish to PAY the INSANE price for the new ULTRA models. The FE is a GOOD compromise and the S24FE is enough for my needs that offers DEX, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging for my buds, and has an improved battery life. The bezels are ALSO reduced on the 24FE vs. the 23FE and with a proper MAG-Safe case is hardly an issue.
Same exact experience lol. Note user from 3 to 10 also
@@tannerdefibaugh7495 LOL! They "got" too expensive after the Note 10+. I personally do not need all the bells and whistles at $1400 bucks that I'll never use. I hardly EVER used the S-Pen for example. Most "features" today work WELL without the S-Pen anymore! Like "Circle to search" and Gemini. Would NEVER PAY for a 1Tb storage version phone when you can EASILY swap-out content using an inexpensive Flash-Drive and I store NOTHING in the "cloud'!
I wanna buy it but the heating issue and the battery being smaller than the competition is making me rethink my decision
At my local retail it's 593 dollars for the 256GB version, I guess I can wait for the price to drop around the time the A56 releases.
2400e is actually the underclocked version of 2400 which beats the crap out of 8gen3 in gaming and with vulkan ie android 15 its going to shine as amd gpu does not support open gl by deafualt so they use angle an overlay to run these games while snapdragon also needs angle to run vulkun games
You wish! 8 gen 3 is clearly ahead!
@anetizen6404 nah 2400e and 2400 crap on it
I just went from an s20fe to the s24fe and it feels like a completely different phone 😂 for the good of course

Watching just for shits and giggles. I have the S24 Plus. I used the Ultra for years and I was disappointed when Samsung merged the Ultra and the Note series. 8:09
I actually just ordered this phone this morning from Koodo, thanks for the review! 👍👍👍📲
LOLL , Me too.. boxing day loyal customer offer.. I have been with Koodo for 15 years.. month to month always got my phones from them on tab.. but today my bill went down 10 bucks, free international calling,, 60 gig of data, and a free Samsung S24 F.E. I was looking to change plans or by a phone but who in their right mind would turn down that phone for free.. I thought it was 5 bucks a month on the tab, which I was willing to pay.. but no I am actually getting that phone with sim card and cord for "free".. what a great day..
@storytimewithunclekumaran5004 That's such a awesome deal, you can't turn it down!📲📲📲🫶👍✨️🤶🎅🎄 Same here, over 12 years with Koodo always on the tab!
I have switched from s24 ultra to the s24 FE. And it is buttery smooth 😎
Why you switched ?
@mosabiha6134 because it is cheaper bro and it saves money 💰
Yeey 1st to like..keep it up bro... more power to you..more reviews to come
Thank youuuu!! i appreciate it :)
I think the blue is really nice just ordered my S24 FE yesterday cant wait to get it !
I have the s24 fe and I love it. Super fast and does everything I need it to do plus gaming.
I cant bring myself to upgrade cos the phone size, chip, and main camera is the the only upgrade from my s20 fe. Everything else is similar but the s20 fe thas a 32mp selfie, sd card up to 1TB. It feels like a rip off if i upgrade.
Just change the battery brooo
I can’t decide between s23 and s24fe, for the following reasons:
- battery life is important for me, but I’m not an intensive user
- I don’t usually like phones that are too big
- the bezels are quite cheaply-made tbh
Would ya’ll say that given that I should go for the 23, or the battery is particularly bad?
If you want to use your phone for long period of time, then go for s24 fe because it has larger battery and 7 years of updates. But if you use your phone for 1 or 2 years then go for s23 because it has smaller bezel and a true flagship experience.
Looking at this on my blue s24 fe😂
Maybe it's because I'm coming from an A71, but the S24 FE has an amazing speaker. I didn't realize it had TWO speakers! One on the top, and one on the bottom.
Is that a standard feature nowadays? Either way, it's a very nice feature because it sounds like a higher quality portable speaker.
I'm gonna miss the macro camera from the A71, though. Especially because I take pictures of action figures and close ups. That's my only nitpick.
What made you upgrade?
Got mine for $100. I work for AT&T so i got some discounts, awesome frickin' phone.
When playing intensive games, try to toglle of the auto manage performance since ut decreases volumes and fps when it heats up
8k recording is there or atleast 4k 60 fps with ois and eis ?
Upgraded from a standard s20 love the build quality 👌
Might be exynos but it handles warzone mobile great in my experience. My S21+ was said to be able to handle it, but my game would crash at times. The S24 FE did amaizng i was even able to play in higher graphics than what i was able to use and didnt use all 8gb of ram
💰💰💰😊 Now I need to ask what is a 1 plus 12 that you were talking about because It’s a phone I’ve never heard of and I live in Canada in Edmonton Alberta actually. At all the phones on the market what would you say is you’re number one pick only ones I’m familiar with her iPhone and Samsung right now I’m kind of trying to decide between the both of them
whats your budget tina its depends more on that
1+ is from China. I dunno their marketing strategy in Canada but looks like it’s not looking good according to you.
Ya, i'm in BC, and nobody seems to carry the oneplus phones.
Good video man, I just sube to your channel, great honest detailed review! Looking for a good phone under 450.00 which one would you recommend?
So as someone who owns a A52, plays games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves and uses Capcut on this phone, is upgrading to a S24 FE a good choice?
Im going to be getting this for free with our phone plan with Verizon. In fact the cost of our plan will go down by 15 bucks per month. Its either this or tthe pixel 9. But i love the user interface on samsung and for 3 years i think itll do before i go flagship again
here in dk it costs 899, if yout just buy the phone alone. i got a deal with a mobile subscribtion, and payd only 119 for the phone, and 250 for 6 month for the subscribtion. 5g, 1tb data, free call and sms. that makes it a no brainer to me.
Here in the UK, I've seen £632 for the 128 gb model with 100gb data, and £681 for the 256gb model, with 100gb of data. Both on 2 year contracts. These are the lowest prices I could find after a quick look.
Wow. That's $1129.99 CAD. The 128GB model is $919.99 CAD outright.
@@jonvaliagasshout-out to Canada I want to go to Calgary.
I bought my 256gb S24 fe direct from Samsung 2 weeks ago. With the Blue Light discount and trading in my old S10 I paid £459, plus I got a free Galaxy Watch with it. A good deal indeed.
I got the 256gb version for under 500£ today off the samsung website & ill be able to claim the watch as well once arrived. The samsung website right now has 10% discount on the device specifically
In Netherlands it is 600 euro vs regular S24 *checks prices*, also 600 euro 😅
At the moment nobody is buying it here, should have some discounts in a month or two

Watching with my s20 fe 😅 so this will definitely be an upgrade for me. 😊
@seangiorgi7497 same for me, just got mine in the mail yesterday! 20FE was great though, good phone
1) Nobody's paying full price. I got mine for $ 474.99 + taxes in Canada with coupon and trading in a broken non-functional phone for a $200 credit. Many people did that.
2) You need a stand for the mike instead of holding it.
I do not include trade-ins, and promos when talking about these devices because for starters, they're not permanent, and depend on region. You could say the same for any phone. The Fold 6 is like $1000 after trade-in and promos, but it's $2700 MSRP in Canada. That's a savings of $1,700, but that doesn't mean the phone is $1,000.
I am also holding the mic in this because the stand I have to boom it is not in my house, I am in the process of moving studios. I needed to re-shoot the A-Roll for this video on a whim, last night, because the audio did not record in the previous go-around.
It doesn't hurt to be a reasonable person, you don't need to be negative in a comment.
@@jonvaliagasthere's not one negative thing about what I said.
No you sounded pretty negative @randomname9758
You're right, nobody's paying full price. Except that applies true to any phone. The price difference still remains. The FE is potentially a bad value at its current pricing because of that. There is nothing stopping anybody from trading in with any phone.
@@randomname9758 Bro took the stand so personal 😅
I still like my decision of buying the S21FE over the S21 Plus.
Samsung really messed up its FE line-up by increasing the size from 6.4 to 6.7 inches. I hope Samsung will continue to launch 6.1-6.2 screen sizes in its flagships.
S25 will be the last small phone from samsung
@BostanMaxim ohh...if this will happen, then it will be a disastrous move by Samsung.
Who wants a small flagship phone nobody they should decrease in size from ultra to FE but be prepared to give up some features
@MarcG7424 TIL that I don't exist. I bought an s23 base model specifically due to the smaller size.
Selfie camera doesn't have autofocus. So many a times subjects are blurry
I find it odd that here in Australia the fe is costlier , S24 8/256 is $1137 and the S24FE 8/256 is $1187 .
My backup old HTC phone now does not function as a phone because 3g has just been turned off and it doesn't support VoLTE so my current Samsung will become the backup and I'm in the market for a new main phone .
galaxy s24 was way better on this phone. size and weight really matters to me.
I moved down from the S24 Ultra to the FE. Best choice ever. Only thing I miss is the Pen.
0:00 Except the bezel lmfao. Buying mine on a big discount!!
My dad just bought it for me,amazing phone
A bit expensive still around $500 would of been reasonable price
It was $ 474.99. after coupons and trade ins of a dead cracked 10-year-old phone.
I agree, I think it could be a little less expensive.

And only paid $799
Im still using an s10e, what exactly are you people doing on these phones that i can't or need to do?
Galaxy AI 😅
Dang man. I miss my s10e so bad, it was my favorite phone of all time. I wish Samsung would make a smaller form factor version of their flagships again. I would have rather bought an "s24e" rather than this s24 fe BEHEMOTH that I am receiving in a few days 😂 I only bought it because it was a good deal 😢
Well I'm upgrading from a 5 year old phone that longer has OS updates. I'm also only paying $120 for S24 FE brand new so 🤷
Same, 120$ CAD at that, so that's like 85$ USD I think.I know some people are super jealous of me for having near flagship quality samsung for pennies, worth every $.
Great review. Thanks
Not a bad review, pretty fair.
💰Excellent video as always, friend!
Thank you Eric!
Why the hell do they put glass on the back. Great - something else to smash
Hey mate, is S23FE still good or not? Im thinking about to buy it since the price is going down after S24FE out
No
Should I get a Google Pixel 9 or S24 FE?
Yeah, I got this phone $350 add xfinity mobile when I traded my Samsung Galaxy s21
Did you upgrade from s21 ultra? I am unsure how they compare.
What other phone would u recommend at that price point
Google pixel 8a
Google pixel 8
Motorola edge 2024
Samsung galaxy 24fe
One plus 12R
Got this baby for $470 lets go.
Wallpaper link?
Then what would you look at at that price point, as there is pixel 8, and 8pro for 100 eur more here in ireland, S24fe can be for 512eur in three, xiaomi 14t is 499, my wife takes a lot of photos and i can get pixel 8 pro for 649 eur with 256gb storage but the g3 chip is smoked out, i wish pixel dropped that chip
But this isn't a midranger. A55 is. This is still a flagship, just with some lesser features compared to the regular S24.
RAM is the only good thing about A55. It’s worse in every single other way. Even in America Smasnug decided to skip A55 so that people buy S23FE before this came out.
@anetizen6404 It is worse but also so much cheaper. Samsung didn't offer it in the states because it sells like hot cakes everywhere else, they wanted to get rid of the s23 fe which was just bad and expensive. My point was though that the s24 fe is not a midranger, far from it. These videos are misleading.
S24 fe excellent mobile
Mine has an over heating issue 😢
Please do battery drain test
Battery brain test please alomg side 24 plus, iphone 16

*12gb ram with 1tb storage and an SD card
*Bigger battery
*Faster wired and wireless 🛜 charging
Basically just buy a s24 ultra if you want everything you say
💰Genuinely, I'd just get the A55 and save yourself two hundred dollars. It's virtually identical specs-wise. I realise that's easy to say from Eurpope though as I don't believe Samsung sell the A55 in the US (not sure about Canada).
Should I try the A55? I don't even know if we sell it I don't really keep tabs on those devices.
No it is way worse in all ways especially performance
@@lakshaysiwach3652 I understand. But the last “cheap” phone I’ve used was an old Lumia windows phone from when I was a kid. I need to be in tune with what people are using these days, ahaha. Flagships are awesome, but need a baseline for what a lot of people are using out there!
