Galaxy S24 FE review: Is ‘basic’ good enough?

We've spent countless hours with the new Galaxy S24 FE from Samsung over the past few weeks, and we had the chance to talk about the new Fan Edition phone's cameras and Exynos chipset performance in a couple of videos before. Now, it's finally time for our full Galaxy S24 FE video review.

Without spoiling too much for you, here's what we think of the Galaxy S24 FE in a nutshell. It's “Basic Samsung.” Don't let that disappoint you. There's nothing inherently wrong with not being complicated.

Modesty is beautiful

The Galaxy S24 FE might be your best choice if you're looking for a solid phone that doesn't cost flagship money but does everything right for its price. It doesn't excel at anything, but why would it? It's not a flagship phone meant to beat the Galaxy S24 in anything but the price.

Thankfully, the Galaxy S24 FE is an honest value device. It gets the job done without any thrills but also without perils. It performs well, has decent cameras (particularly the primary unit), decent build quality, and all the Galaxy AI features you might crave.

All in all, maybe the Galaxy S24 FE isn't going to rock your world, but you can trust it, and it might grow on you and became one of your favorites because of it.

Check out our Galaxy S24 FE review video below for all our thoughts on this Fan Edition device, and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos like this.

If you, too, see something worthwhile in the Galaxy S24 FE, the phone usually starts at $649, and you can save up to $400 with trade-in (where available). With Black Friday around the corner, — assuming you're not reading this after November 29 — chances are you will find the phone at a discount or through a bundle offer.
