Design and Build: Sleek vs Sturdy
The Galaxy S24 5G blows us away with its impossibly thin 7.6mm thickness and ridiculously light 167g chassis, one of the thinnest and lightest flagships in its class. The Galaxy S24 FE is a few grams heavier at 8mm and 213g, though, with more heft to it in hand. Both pack an in-display fingerprint sensor and glass build, but if both portability and hand comfort matter, the flagship S24 gets the win.
Display: Short and Sweet vs Immersive, Larger Size
Galaxy S24 has a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with up to 2600 nits brightness, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. S24 FE features a larger 6.7-inch HDR10+ AMOLED screen with up to 1900 nits peak brightness. While the FE offers a larger view due to its size, the S24 5G trumps the FE hands down with better brightness and pixel density (416ppi vs 385ppi) for sharper visuals.
Performance: Equal But Different
Both phones have Exynos 2400 series processors – Exynos 2400 in the S24 and Exynos 2400e in the FE – accompanied by 8GB RAM. The Galaxy S24’s 3.2GHz processor speed and UFS 3.1 storage (256GB) deliver slightly better multitasking and app-opening performance. The S24 FE with 128GB storage and 3.11 GHz processing power is highly competent but lacks expandable storage and lags in memory capacity for high usage.
Camera Specifications: Basic But Well-Weighted
Samsung keeps the rear camera arrangement nearly identical: 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto (10MP on S24, 8MP on S24 FE). Both can shoot 8K video, but S24 at 30fps, while the FE can only shoot it at 24fps. The front camera resolution is almost identical at 12MP on S24 and 10MP on the FE. Both cameras are good enough for everyday use, but the telephoto zoom and higher video frame rate on the S24s give them a slight edge.
Battery and Charging: FE Leads the Pack
And then there’s the battery. The Galaxy S24 FE beats its sibling with a 4700mAh battery versus the S24’s 4000mAh. Both support 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. But that 700mAh gap in the FE can mean more life, especially for those who use media and gaming intensively.
Verdict: Premium Polish or Practical Power
If you want a thinner, flagship-grade phone with more display output, sharper pics, and smoother delivery of subtleties, then the Galaxy S24 5G is the worth-the-increase purchase. But for longer battery life, a larger screen, and an overall more stable phone without the price premium, the Galaxy S24 FE is a very solid value. Price-conscious consumers will require the S24 FE, while the S24 5G is for whomever is in want of flagship nuance.
