I haven't seen significantly better performance in the phones by Samsung at this price. It's been similar to this every years. So genuine question, which device with you go for if you are looking for good sustained performance?

Anonymous, 11 Oct 2024I've been playing about with the S24FE and I'm qu... moreI would agree with this assessment of the S24 FE. It's a cut-down S24+ with some notable cuts but enough of the flagship formula to be easy to recommend to the right buyer as long as the price separation from the S24+ is there. (Right now, as you say, it isn't - on the SIM-free market. But on contract it is, as ID Mobile have a £15/mo + £229 upfront deal for a two-year 10GB-data contract on the 128GB model with another £50 for the 256GB, and I'd more than happily recommend the latter to the non-enthusiast who just wants to get a phone that'll be just there for them for several years without worrying about it running out of update support.)
I won't be getting it, but that's at least in part because of the optical fingerprint sensor - as someone who is sensitive to light and uses his phone a lot in the dark, the upgrade to ultrasonic is one I'm really excited about when I do move on from this S20 FE. This phone has its place in the market, and the more price separation it gets from the S24+, the more clear that place is.

"What's more surprising, however, is that you can also buy a 256GB S24+ for about the same amount € 790"
Even better, in my country Spain you can buy it for €750 so, who's buying the FE man? c'mon, just because it's fresh out now?...
I bet in 2 months, xmas, this FE will be around €600 for sure or even less.

Samsung seems to have lost their original idea of the FE series being cheaper than the regular counterpart. The S24FE is priced too close to the regular S24 to be attractive. Hopefully the price drops soon.

VicsanIdiot, 11 Oct 2024pretty wild that the sustained is worse than the base s24.......Insane, even. I was defending this chip for potentially offering superior sustained performance, but this is just bad.

I hate this phone just because the bezels are BAD. Not only not uniform which sucks, but big too. It looks like a cheap budget phone. Also having stability that bad with a chip that already lowered clocks is just embarassing. Sorry Samsung but this one is not it. I was one of the people defending the Exynos 2400e as it should have brought great sustained performance, but clearly that is not the case, so it is just a worse Exynos 2400..

There are a few phones from Samsung that i recommend people to buy depending on the budget....
A35 or A55, s23/s23+, or ofc S23 ultra.
And that's it.

I see that the Edge 50 Neo also appears when you compare this Samsung with the others. I am an optimist, so I hope this is a sign that you are working on a review of the Edge 50 Neo :-)

Saw S23 Ultras going for around £610 on Amazon. Much better alternative.

Anonymous, 11 Oct 2024There's quite a bit of price difference between 24 FE ... moreDepends where you live, S24 FE js 745 euro here.
S24 Ultra is just 217 euro more and S24 Plus 95 euro more.
Base S24 is 590 euro, so 155 euro cheaper.

Also that is the reason it has virtual proximity sensing, samsung doesn't use it because lack of space, but because it saves them hardware, not even the few cents it does cost them.

Last time people said S23 FE has poor battery life vs base S23 because of Exynos and SD 8Gen1 being made by Samsung, while S23 series had SD8Gen2.
I said "no, something else is the culprit"
Nobody listened
Now S24 FE had a Exynos and has again worse battery life than base S24, which has a Exynos in most places.

Too generous. Should be 4.0 tops.
