      ThunderCrackR, 23 Mar 2025It's high time Samsung brings back the telephoto on mi... moreSamsung deliberately removed telephoto to further differentiate the A‐series from the S‐series. You want telephoto? Then better add up for that S2x FE. But smart buyers who can wait just buy S2x when the prices gone down.

        Anonymous, 21 Mar 2025Why.. does GMS arena keep forgetting to compare these phone... moreYes. It is on purpose.

        Take POCO X7 Pro and compare it with Other chinese brands and X7 Pro will always take the 1st spot. Because noone can match ultra affordable 0 profit margines like POCO can.

        You think Samsung with its 45% of profit margines are a great comparation with brand like POCO?

        Well sure you do.
        Both are just phones, right?

        Right.

            KN Analyst, 24 Mar 2025Is the processor capable of managing 5/6 years of updates, ... moreNot that far behind, more or less at the same level...Snapdragon main advantage is power optimisation and autonomy, Exynos chips are way too power 🔋 hungry. I use an A52 (4G version) and an A54 but in terms of autonomy/power optimisation the former is 2/3 levels above the A54.
            A54 must be recharged daily even with low or moderate use, battery gets drained on sleep mode with Wi-Fi and mobile data off and none of the os updates received up to now could fix that major flaw, I don't have great hopes on upcoming UI7, I have the feeling this issue will remain for its whole lifespan.

                I just bought S24 FE online for my wife, dicounted a little over A56.

                I can say that the camera is way ahead of older Samsung we have, S10e, and my Poco F3.

                Performance is better than my Poco F3.

Samsung and iphone user not tinkering their phone, i doubt this phone will survive 6 years let alone 4 years with that chipset lol

                        Is the processor capable of managing 5/6 years of updates, especially for the Exynos processor, which is far behind the snapdragon on performance wise.

                          19.5:9 is BAD. It should havs been 20:9

                            The outstanding feature of this device is "stability" - in multiple ways:
                            1.This device just runs stable: it doesn't overheat, it doesn't throttle, it just keeps operational and smooth.
                            2. With 6 years of upgrades/updates you get "stability" for over half a decade in that sense that you don't need to worry or look out for an other device.

                            Keeping an Android device up to date and adapting the newest Android OS every year is a very expensive thing to do.
                            That's why companies love Samsung and Apple devices as they get stable updates over a relatively long time.

                                I don't think samsung would push 6 updates on a budget phone. Hardware is not capable though

                                  Luke, 24 Mar 2025If what you say is true, noone would have objected. But ... moreThe S24 FE is far from outdated, and is still twice as powerful as an A56. Still has a better screen, wireless charging which the A56 lacks and the same number of years of updates (and probably much more regular updates), etc. And it only costs 10 euros more.

                                    I wonder if the A-Series is getting a reboot or something because we already had an A60 and A40...what will Samsung be calling their A36 and A56 in 4 year's time? A41 and A61? Sounds odd. Same goes for the A26...in 4 year's time, it will become an A3X series phone, clashing with the already established A3X Series...

                                      It seems like everything from Samsung posted is a straight up crying for readers here. In my country, this priced under USD 399, while the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ priced at USD 450. This is a way better deal as it have a metal/glass body, faster SoC, 1/1.56 main sensor,... blah blah blah. Tried one at the demo store and I found that certain system applications appears to be more responsive than my OriginOS 5's iQOO Neo9, despite having a SoC that only 65% as fast as my Snapdragon 8Gen2. The only thing I hope they will improve for the A57 is the equal screen bezels. Otherwise most people, which they dont play intensive AAA games on their phones will aim for this phone in the following months, when price dropped significantly. And people worrying about this phone not be able to survive through 6 years of software update, your mom and your dad probably using something that is perform worse than a Snapdragon 660.
