The all-new Samsung Galaxy S24 FE & Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus are some of the best smartphones in the market and make a buzz in their price segment. The Galaxy S24 Plus comes with a cheaper price and more features as compared to the Galaxy s24 FE. Is it, therefore, worth the premium for the S24 Plus, or does the Galaxy S24 FE pack enough punch to be the better two-thrust? Let’s explore together.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Size and Design Comparison
In spite of both phones, they offer 6.7-inch OLED screens technically the S24 Plus is somewhat smaller and lighter than the S24 because of a superior LTPO OLED panel that makes for slimmer borders. The S24+ dimensions stand a 158.5 x 75.9 x 7.7mm thickness with a weight of 196 grams while the Galaxy S24 FE comes with the larger dimensions of 162.0 x 77.3 x 8.0mm and a weight of 213 grams. Also, the latest addition to the S Series comes equipped with improved Gorilla Glass Victus2, and a stronger aluminum frame. Both phones are protected by an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Another difference in both phones is the virtual proximity sensor of the Galaxy S24 FE, which works less accurately than the physical one installed in the Galaxy S24+. By and large, the Galaxy S24+ looks and feels smaller and more exclusive, but the Galaxy S24 FE remains a fashionable and constructed smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Display Quality
The Galaxy S24+ has an additional advantage in terms of picture quality – it has an LTPO AMOLED screen with a higher density of 1440×3120 and 513 dpi compared to the Galaxy S24 FE’s 1080×2340 and 385 dpi resolution. Due to the LTPO technology, the refresh rate is variable, which helps improve power consumption depending on the content shown in the S24+. Both phones support HDR10+ at roughly the same brightness level, but the S24+ has a sharper resolution and dynamic refresh rate in mind, which is why it is better suited for display enthusiasts.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Battery & Charging
In terms of Battery life, the Galaxy S24 Plus brings a large battery which is at 4,900 mAh, and the S24 FE has a slightly smaller battery at 4,700 mAh. In general usage, on a benchmark of throughput, the S24+ lasts for 1.5 hours more on web browsing and 2 hours more on video streaming, though still, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE performs better in terms of call duration.
The charging speed of the Galaxy S24 Plus is higher and it supports wired charging up to 45W, while the maximum supported charging of the Galaxy S24 FE is 25W only. The S24+ can charge to 74% battery in 30 minutes, while the Galaxy S24 FE to 56% in the same amount of time due to the faster charging feature. It’s noteworthy that both phones have 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, so it turns out the phones are versatile in charging.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Performance & Software Support
When we talk about the performance, Both the phones are powerhouse but the Galaxy S24 FE is less efficient as it has Exynos 2400e. The S24+ also has double the 8GB of RAM of the S24 FE, but there isn’t a significant difference in durability. Both gadgets have high capability to work with heavy applications and juggle between the applications seamlessly, but the additional quantity of RAM in the Galaxy S24 Plus will be beneficial particularly when it concerns application updates and the incorporation of AI applications. Both phones will receive seven years of OS updates and security patches so that the users will have the updated devices for several years to come.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Camera Comparison
The rear of both phones comes with 50MP main camera, 3x telephoto lens, as well as 12MP ultrawide camera, although the S24+ slightly outperforms with a better unit. The S24+ main camera sports a better sensor for low-light photography, as it delivers images that look clearer with finer detail. Also, as expected, the S24+ selfie camera comes with a 12MP device with dual pixel autofocus while the S24 FE only comes with a fixed focus 10MP sensor.
In this particular area alone, we have seen that the Galaxy S24+ provides clearly better performance, especially the performance of its ultrawide and zoom lenses. All these phones allow 8K video recording in the primary camera at 30 fps and 4K at 60 fps in other lenses. However, S24+ seems to outperform S24 in some areas in 3X zoomed videos due to a better image sensor.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs S24 Plus: Audio and Speaker Performance
Both phones feature stereo speakers with the same setup. The first speaker of the assembly is a single cube located at the base while the second is the earpiece. In terms of loudness they are both “Very Good,” but in terms of the quality of the sound produced the S24+ is slightly better. Well, for normal user listeners, the difference can be very negligible, while for those true fans of Hi-Fi, the S24+ is arguably a tad better at least as far as sound reproduction is concerned.
Final Talk
Deciding between the Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy S24+ will certainly depend on certain factors that are most important to users. The Galaxy S24+ delivers the added value of a sharper, more efficient LTPO screen, faster charging, longer battery life, and a slightly better camera system at a higher price. For ₹49,999, you’ll get the slimmer profile, completely built out of more robust materials, and UWB capabilities, so if you’re capable of spending more, S24+ is the right way to go.
However, if you’re on a tight budget, Galaxy S24 FE is a good deal for you because it gives you 90% of the experience at a lower price. You’re getting a highly capable device with a big OLED screen, a very good if not great camera, Samsung Knox security, and that extra year of software updates. All in all, we can conclude that the Galaxy S24 Plus demonstrates more benefits than the Galaxy S24 FE for those willing to pay a premium price, while the Galaxy S24 is for the fans: FLAGSHIP KILLER!!!
