Hi, why didn't you mention the much better AI tools for S24FE?
We trust your articles until we come upon these ones where don't mention some facts and then we lose all that hard-gained trust to those past articles as well...!

    Both are overpriced simple phones with severe limitations/issues.

      deRykcihC, 21 hours agoin my country it's like $50 more from A56 to S24FE, bo... moreCool.
      For those already looking at the S24FE, the extra $50 is more than worth it over the A56.

      However, for some who is already in tight budget to even afford the A56, that extra $50 might still be $50 saved to buy other accessories.

      In some markets, Samsung maintained really tight pricing and inventory. So unless you are going to 3rd party resellers, the gap between S24FE and A56 can still be significant enough that they are targeted for two different price segments.

        Since the A56 also doesn't have both 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card slot, I'd go for the S24 FE. At least the latter has a flagship-tier chipset and USB3 with wired video output and DeX support, which is great for lapdocks.

            In India 24fe is much better compare to a56 and also cheaper if Samsung wants exynos to work with current heating problems then should go a3x series exynos 1680 a5x snapdragon 7+ series or mtk = fe series this combo might justify price to performance ratios at some level . And I hope Samsung lose it's position from 3rd to below 5th position in FYI 2025 .😶😶😶😶😶😶🫡

And if they can afford a flagship now good then. But if budget is low and they want a flagship they can do what I said. Fe series aren't worth it at all.

                Samsung has many midrange phones for comparison.

                    Buy a56 and save money for s27 plus. I had a52 now bought s24 plus. Very big upgrade.

                      Isn't the battery time difference miscalculated? It's impossible for the battery time to be that similar.

                        Tab S9, 16 hours ago"In the dark, the A56 does a better job in full auto m... moreThe Samsung GN3 sensor of the S24 FE might be the reason, while the A56 has a Sony sensor, the IMX906, both are very average midrange sensors. It's still weird that the A56 isn't just better, but actually the S24 FE takes significantly worse pictures at night, definitely not good enough for an S series device.

                          "In the dark, the A56 does a better job in full auto mode, delivering cleaner images with wider dynamic range."
                          I don't understand how A-series outperforms S-series in this situation. Same story with s20 fe vs A52s so I bought the latter for this reason - after researching and watching video comparisons - alongside the lower price 350€ and 260€ (brand new!) back in the day.

                            People say that they are in completely different price brackets but that's not the case everywhere. In my region the FE phones are pretty consistently cheaper than the A5x ones a few months after release and pretty closely priced at launch. This makes the A series an even worse pick for us.

                              GSMA, you literally show the price is cheaper for the S24 FE in your Amazon links in the article. Which makes the A56 completely irrelevant.

                                S24 FE for sure.

                                  c, 20 hours agos24 also has small battery size, 25w charging and 1080p scr... moreNot really, but it has a much smaller display to go with the small battery, thus both the 1080p resolution and the battery size are acceptable, especially because that device actually has great battery life.

                                  The S24/S25 are also in a category, where they have next to no competing devices, unlike the S24 FE that has all kinds of competitors possible. There is the X200 Pro mini and the OnePlus 13T, both with much larger batteries, higher resolution displays, and the vivo with much better cameras, but they are slightly larger and a bit thicker than the S25, and they only have USB 2.0 ports, plus their lack of availability is an issue for most.

                                    how gsma even found a sub-$200 24FE? its priced above $800 in my country, new. the used can be had at $5-600. the reason people going for chinese flagships instead

                                      Sorry to disappoint everyone, but both phones are midrangers. Even S24 a d S24+ are not flagships. One is mid end, other is high end but MIDRANGERS. So comparison ismore or less correct.
