Fewer features than a full-fledged Galaxy S device, not as budget-friend as a Galaxy A handset, the Galaxy S FE model has always had a hard time justifying its existence. Does the Galaxy S24 FE change that?

Granted, we're comparing apples and oranges here. A better comparison would be the new Galaxy S24 FE (starts at $649.99) and the entry-level Galaxy S24 (starts at $859.99). They share more of the same specs and the price difference between the two is only $210.

A couple days after prematurely revealing the phone on its website, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S24 FE. It starts at $649.99 with 128GB of storage, and Samsung’s also offering a 256GB model for $709.
