We’ve been discussing Samsung Galaxy S24 FE leaks for a long time. Here’s another one to pique your interest in the soon-to-be-announced phone. It comes from an unboxing video posted by leaker Evan Blass (and spotted by 9to5Google).

The new video shows that Samsung’s next “fan edition” phone is expected to launch in five colors: Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow. It also shows that Samsung’s “ProVisual Engine” is present on the phone to improve lowlight imagery.

Full camera specs have also been confirmed: a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera, an 8MP 3x optical zoom camera, and a 10MP selfie camera.

Finally, the Galaxy S24 FE box contains a USB-C cable, documentation, and a SIM tool. Not surprisingly, a charger is missing.

Based on previous leaks, the Galaxy S24 FE is expected to feature a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1900 nits. The device is anticipated to be equipped with a Samsung Exynos 2400e processor. Like the previous year’s model, the Galaxy S24 FE will probably have an aluminum body.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S24 FE in the near future, and this latest leak tends to confirm that. The previous model, the Galaxy S23 FE, was launched in October 2023.

The starting price of last year’s Galaxy S23 FE was $599. Unfortunately, according to one new report, the S24 FE could get a price hike to $649. That would obviously be less than ideal, especially considering the main draw of the FE line has been lower prices compared to the regular Galaxy S lineup. Nothing is confirmed just yet, so we’ll have to wait and see how this shakes out.

Some big Galaxy S25 news has left us disappointed

Three Galaxy S24 Plus models laying on a table, including the white, gray, and yellow ones.

Three Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones have been certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While that’s good news because it means the official launch is getting closer, it’s also a bit disappointing because it’s not four new Samsung phones being certified. What do we mean? The devices are almost certainly the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, so where’s the so-called Galaxy S25 Slim?

The FCC certification registers devices by model number rather than name, and lists the SM-S931B/DS, the SM-S936B/DS, and the SM-S938B/DS as new entries. The SM-S931 model number follows on from the Galaxy S24’s model number of SM-S921. The case is the same for the Galaxy S24+’s SM-S926 model number and the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s SM-S928 model number. The letter B signifies the certified model is an international version, while DS denotes a dual-SIM capability.

But what if we told you there are some better options out there? And some offer even better features or are a better value? Here are five alternatives to consider before you buy the iPhone 16 Pro.

Eye-catching Honor 300 beats this key Galaxy S24 spec

Honor knows how to make a striking smartphone, and the new Honor 300 series is no exception. The unusual camera module and rear panel design means it immediately stands out, and that’s before we get to the wide range of bright colors, plus the impressive thinness of one of the new models. Announced in China, there are three new Honor 300 models: the standard Honor 300, the Honor 300 Pro, and the Honor 300 Ultra. Although they have not been given an international release date yet, Honor has previously sold its “number” series outside of China, with the Honor 200 arriving in the U.K. earlier this year, for example.

At just 6.97mm thick, the Honor 300 is one of the thinnest phones we’ve seen in a while. For context, the Samsung Galaxy S24 is 7.6mm thick and the Apple iPhone 16 is 7.8mm thick, so you’ll definitely notice the Honor 300’s slim frame in your hand. It’s far from the thinnest phone ever made though, with various companies creating devices measuring less than 5mm thick over the years, such as the ridiculous 4.75mm-thin Vivo X5 Max from 2014.
