Samsung's next Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S24 FE, has been certified by the FCC in the US, and the certification provides us our first look at the actual phone.Summarize in one-click with Galaxy AI
The FCC is an unusual source when it comes to showing the world what an unreleased Galaxy phone looks like. And you could argue that hasn't completely changed: while live photos of the S24 FE are included in the FCC certification, we don't see the phone up close.
The photos show the phone tied to some equipment while being tested for radiation patterns. Its display is turned off and the photos were taken from a distance, but we can make out the similarities between the Galaxy S24 FE's design and that of the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+.
Again, this isn't a close-up look, and we don't think most would be able to notice if the FCC decided to pull a fast one on us by putting a Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24+ on the equipment.
Galaxy S24 FE press images hit the internet earlier this month and spilled the beans on its design. It has a flat aluminum frame and glass on the front and back similar to the Galaxy S24/S24+ but will miss out on the S24 series' uniform and slim bezels. Its color options will include blue, graphite, mint, silver, and yellow.
Most of its specs will be similar to the Galaxy S24 and S24+ as well. That includes the Exynos 2400 chipset. It will be powered by the Exynos 2400 even in the US, where Samsung usually uses Snapdragon chips for high-end phones. The decision to use an Exynos chip in the US likely has to do with the high cost of Qualcomm's latest top-of-the-line chips.
