That price hike could be due to the new software promises Samsung is making. Smartprix says that Samsung will offer seven years of Android updates and security patches when it launches the S24 FE. That matches Google’s new (ish) promise on updates and Apple’s unofficial seven-year policy.

According to leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (via SmartPrix ), the 125GB Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is set to cost $649 — with the price supposedly rising to $70 for the 256GB model. Last year’s Galaxy S23 FE started at $599 for 128GB, with the 256GB option costing $659. Meaning we could be looking at a $50 price hike for both options.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S24 FE appeared in a newly leaked promotional video. It'll come in several colors, use Samsung's new Exynos 2400e chipset, and feature a larger, brighter display than last year. The Galaxy S24 FE is rumored to cost $650, which could make it a difficult buy next to discounted Galaxy S24+ models.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is expected to launch in early October, featuring a premium design, upgraded display, and AI-powered camera system, making it a strong budget-friendly option.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE garnered lots of excitement, but future models didn't. The Galaxy S24 FE needs some OG fan enthusiasm to make its mark.

Samsung’s budget alternative to the Galaxy S24 just made a surprise appearance. Pre-orders for the S24 FE appear to be at least momentarily open prematurely, starting at $650. Samsung’s formal launch of the phone has been expected for later this week.

There's a new leak concerning the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. The phone, which should launch very soon, is expected to come in five colors.

While we wait for official information, a leaked unboxing video has basically revealed the upcoming Galaxy S24 FE.
