Samsung’s Fan Edition (FE) smartphones have long been the choice for consumers seeking premium features at a more accessible price point, trading off some high-end specs for affordability. Following the successful reintroduction of the FE series with the Galaxy S23 FE in 2023, Samsung is reportedly gearing up to unveil the Galaxy S24 FE soon.
According to a report by The Elec, Anapass, a semiconductor chipmaker, is supplying Samsung with display driver ICs (DDI) for the Galaxy S24 FE. These ICs incorporate embedded timing controller (TCON) technology, promising to enhance screen performance by efficiently transmitting media signals to the display. Production is already underway, suggesting a potential release over the summer.
Anticipation is building for a July reveal, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 at a rumored Unpacked event. Previous leaks indicate the S24 FE will sport a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos 2400 processor, depending on the market, along with a triple camera setup (8MP, 12MP, and 50MP sensors), and storage options of 128GB and 256GB, paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
While the S24 FE aims to remain budget-friendly, it is rumored to feature notable upgrades, including a larger 4,500 mAh battery and a brighter 6.1-inch AMOLED display. Despite the excitement, Samsung has not yet confirmed these details. If the rumors hold, the Galaxy S24 FE could debut at a starting price of $600 in the US, offering an enticing upgrade for Samsung enthusiasts.
