Samsung’s Galaxy S24 FE is said to be in the works as a toned-down version of the Galaxy S24. While earlier rumors suggested a possible summer launch, a report now claims that the next Fan Edition phone will be arriving in October. Moreover, Samsung could also unveil the Galaxy A16 in December. The Galaxy S24 FE is speculated to come with an Exynos 2400e SoC, One UI 6.1. 1 and a 4,565mAh battery. It is expected to feature a 6.7-inch display.
Citing industry sources, ETNews reports that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy A16 in the second half of this year. The Galaxy S24 FE is likely to be unveiled globally in October, while the Galaxy A16 could go official in December.
The Galaxy S24 FE was previously rumored to arrive in the summer (June to August). Last year’s Galaxy S23 FE was unveiled in October, roughly eight months after the Galaxy S23 launched. Samsung hasn’t followed a consistent launch schedule for its FE phones – the Galaxy S22 FE didn’t ship at all, and the Galaxy S21 FE arrived in January 2022, a month before the Galaxy S22 launched.
