It wasn't long ago when midrange phones were plastic, lagging disasters with little to no software support. The Galaxy S20 FE cut through that. While it wasn't a midrange phone at $700, it proved you didn't have to spend over $1,000 to get a worthwhile smartphone.

As it stands, Samsung is giving away double storage for free when buying the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This means the 512GB storage option is the price of the 256GB model, bringing the price down to $1,299.99 from $1,419.99. That only applies if you buy one of the “online exclusive” colorways.

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.
