Ah, the Galaxy S24 FE. The Fan Edition of the Galaxy S24 lineup. This phone always comes out at a pretty odd time, and seems like the red-headed stepchild

Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE came out with a price tag of $650, bringing it uncomfortably close to the base Galaxy S24 in terms of price. A Fan Edition device is meant to be a lower-cost version of Samsung's mainstream devices, but it is meant to maintain most of the flavor that makes people want those flagship phones in the very first place.

Granted, we're comparing apples and oranges here. A better comparison would be the new Galaxy S24 FE (starts at $649.99) and the entry-level Galaxy S24 (starts at $859.99). They share more of the same specs and the price difference between the two is only $210.

I benchmarked the new Galaxy S24 FE against two models of the Galaxy S24 and the results are somewhat suprising.

Double the Joy! Amazon is including a $100 gift card with the purchase of a new Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which is currently over 10% off.

A Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S24 comparison poses an interesting question if you're looking to buy one of the best Samsung phones. Do you have to make too many sacrifices with the new FE model to justify the price cut from Samsung's entry-level flagship?

Samsung is offering $200 off the Galaxy S24 FE with the trade-in of any other Samsung smartphone, even if it's broken.

The Galaxy S24 has a better performance and features for $150 more. The S24 FE has a bigger screen and longer battery life. Pick one.
