Key Points:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 FE was spotted running the Exynos 2400 chipset.
- The Exynos 2400 in S24 FE might be slightly slower than the standard S24 chip.
- Launch expected later in 2024, potentially around Google’s Fall event.
Leaked benchmarks suggest the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE might utilize a slightly detuned version of the Exynos 2400 chip found in the flagship S24 series. This news comes courtesy of a recent Geekbench listing where the S24 FE achieved scores of 2047 in single-core and 6289 in multi-core tests.
While the Exynos 2400 branding remains, a closer look reveals a lower clock speed for the phone’s prime core. The benchmark listing indicates a peak frequency of 3.11GHz, a 0.1GHz reduction compared to the 3.21GHz found in the standard S24’s Exynos chip. This subtle downclocking suggests a potential trade-off between raw performance and price point for the S24 FE, positioning it as a more affordable option.
The rest of the Exynos 2400 architecture seems to be intact within the S24 FE. This includes the deca-core CPU configuration with a high-performance Arm Cortex-X4 core, flanked by secondary and tertiary Cortex-A720 cores, and power-efficient Cortex-A520 cores. Gamers will still benefit from the Xclipse 940 GPU, boasting AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture and potentially surpassing the ray tracing capabilities of the rival Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Reports even suggest improved power efficiency for the Exynos 2400 in the S24 FE, possibly due to Samsung’s implementation of larger vapor chamber cooling.
While a confirmed release date remains elusive, industry speculations place the Galaxy S24 FE launch sometime later in 2024. Samsung traditionally unveils its flagship Galaxy S series in the first quarter, leaving a window between July and September for the unveiling of the S24 FE. This timeframe could potentially coincide with Google’s Fall event, offering consumers a wider range of choices for their next smartphone purchase.
