This isn’t terrible, but it’s clearly behind the 120+ fps rates delivered by the S24 and S24 Plus. Although, I’m quite surprised that much like its siblings, the Galaxy S24 SE offers support for ray-tracing. I loaded up Diablo Immortal and Age of Origins, and even when there was intensive action happening, these games remained playable. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review: Battery life (Image credit: Future) While it matches the S24 Plus with its display, the S24 FE packs a slightly smaller 4,700 mAh battery. Qualcomm’s flagship chipset is clearly more power efficient because running the same battery drain test, the Galaxy S24 FE clocked in a best time of 11 hours and 25 minutes. That’s way shorter than the 16 hours and 32 minutes clocked in by the S24 Plus, which seemingly confirms that the Exynos 2400e isn’t as power efficient. Since I’m a power user and more demanding of my phones, it’s the kind of thing I kept on charging around the middle of the afternoon because its battery would often be under 50% capacity. Samsung claims that the S24 FE can get up to 50% charge in about 30 mins with a 25W adapter. We saw a fairly impressive 53% in that same amount of time. Furthermore, I’m quite pleased to find that the S24 FE offers 15W wireless charging as well. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review: Software (Image credit: Future) What really makes the Galaxy S24 FE compelling is how it benefits from the same rich experience I’ve already seen with the entire Galaxy S24 line. Samsung’s One UI 6.1 runs on top of Android 14, offering the same level of customization and functionality as its top-of-the-line models. As you’d expect, it’s big on productivity with similar features such as Edge Panels that lets me run a third app on top of two others running in split-screen mode. But what makes the experience even more satisfying is that it’s accompanied by Galaxy AI features. These consist of Interpreter Mode for quick translation, Circle to Search to Google anything on my screen, Chat Assist to change my writing style, Note Assist to summarize long voice recordings, and the host of photo editing tools at my disposal. In fact, the Galaxy S24 FE gains the same new Galaxy AI features introduced on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 — like Sketch to Image and Portrait Studio. These are in addition to other staple Galaxy AI features such as Instant Slow-Mo and Generative Edit, which I’ve found to be pretty good at what they do. There’s certainly a lot to unpack with the Galaxy S24 FE’s software, but what I’m also happy to know is that it’s the cheapest new Galaxy to come with Samsung DeX. I’ve previously ditched my laptop for a couple of weeks using DeX on a Galaxy Z Fold 6, and it’s no different here with the S24 FE. It truly is like having a computer in my pocket because of the desktop-like interface it offers when connected to a monitor. And to top it all off, the Galaxy S24 FE gets treated to the same 7 years of major software and security updates support that Samsung gives its premier S24 phones. You really won’t find a more functional phone at this price. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE review: Verdict Image 1 of 11
