It seems the launch of theSamsungGalaxy S24 FEis now imminent– and thanks to a filing with the regulatory body the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the US, we may now have our first proper look at the upcoming mid-ranger.
As spotted byMySmartPrice, the Galaxy S24 FE now appears to have passed through FCC inspection, a part of the standard process for gadgets that are going on sale in the US. The phone has also previously been spottedat regulators in India.
Have a read through ourSamsung Galaxy S23 FE reviewand you’ll see that these mid-range ‘Fan Edition’ versions of the flagships are still well worth considering as smartphone upgrades – offering decent specs at a decent price.
And Samsung clearly thinks it’s worth putting a Galaxy S24 FE handset out into the world. You might remember there was no FE version of theSamsung Galaxy S22, which launched in 2022, but it seems the series is now very much back.
What to expect
The photos included in the filing don’t really tell us much about the phone, but the associated documents give its dimensions as 162 mm x 77.3 mm – for comparison, theSamsung Galaxy S24measures 147 mm x 70.6 mm.
It looks as though the Exynos 2400 processor is going to be powering the phone, and there will be support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and 5G, as you would expect. Reverse wireless charging tech, up to 9W, is also mentioned in the documentation.
Basedon leaked renderswe’ve already seen, it looks as though this handset is going to follow the design cues of the Galaxy S24 andGalaxy S24 Plus, although the build won’t be quite as premium (and it’ll cost less as a result).
