Just a few days agowe heardthat theSamsungGalaxy S24 FE could be launching in October, and we’ve now had another indication that this mid-ranger is going to be making an appearance sooner rather than later.

According to91mobiles, the Galaxy S24 FE has made its way through the certification process at the Buearu of Indian Standards (BIS), which is a compulsory step for gadgets before they go on sale to consumers in that country.

The product number used in the BIS filing is the same as we saw used on a support pageon Samsung’s own site. It would seem that all the preparations are being put in place for the launch of this cheaper version of theSamsung Galaxy S24.

If you’re new to the FE (Fan Edition) series, it’s the label Samsung uses for more affordable versions of its flagships. TheSamsung Galaxy S23 FEwas launched in October 2023, so we’re getting close to the point where a successor is due.

We’ve already heard plenty in the way of rumors when it comes to the Galaxy S24 FE. It’sapparently going to geta bigger battery and a brighter display compared to the Galaxy S23 FE model, which would be two worthwhile upgrades.

However, therehas also been talkthat the camera setup on the new phone is going to be exactly the same as it is on the current model – so don’t expect much improvement in terms of the photo and video capture capabilities.

An October 2024 launch is somethingthat’s been mentioned before, and would fit in with last year’s schedule. Wedidn’t actually geta Samsung Galaxy S22 FE – perhaps because theGalaxy S21 FEarrived rather late in January 2022.
