It's time to take another closer look at Samsung's new Galaxy S24 FE. Buckle your seatbelts as we're about to take the Fan Edition phone on a performance test drive alongside the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Ultra flagships.

Can the slightly underclocked Exynos 2400e chip that powers the Galaxy S24 FE keep up with the regular Exynos 2400 inside the Galaxy S24 or even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that beats at the heart of the Galaxy S24 Ultra?

In our new video, which you can watch below, we test the capabilities of these three phones in apps like Geekbench, Lumafusion, and Lightroom. We also looked at on-device Galaxy AI performance and some differences between camera modes across the three devices.

The results might surprise you, especially if you're coming to this video with a bit of a bias against Exynos. Check out the video and join us below for a bit more details.

Not only has the Galaxy S24 FE's Exynos 2400e chip performed admirably next to the standard Galaxy S24 flagship, but both Exynos 2400 solutions kept up and sometimes even outperformed the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Sure, the Geekbench test puts the Galaxy S24 Ultra atop the other two, but then again, the Ultra model was also surprisingly slow in the OpenCL test. Besides, the other tests we performed should strengthen the notion that synthetic benchmarks don't tell the whole story.

Overall, the performance differences between the three models are fairly small to even consider when you're trying to decide which one of these devices you should buy. The real-life experience matters more, and it is worth noting that the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers better camera modes because of its superior imaging hardware. It also has an S Pen and a bigger screen with an anti-reflection coating, among other premium features the S24 FE lacks.

Nevertheless, seeing these results, we feel like the Exynos stigma is unjustified in 2024, at least for the 2400 series. No matter what you might be thinking about Exynos as a brand or the underclocked Exynos 2400e chip, there's no denying that the Galaxy S24 FE brings flagship-grade performance for a lower price.

Sure, it doesn't have the same camera prowess as the pricier phones, and it doesn't have the same LTPO Dynamic AMOLED premium display as the rest of the series, so it can't support AOD wallpapers. But as for day-to-day performance, the Exynos 2400e SoC and S24 FE don't disappoint even when they compete with the top dog S24 Ultra.

We recommend watching the full video above for a closer look at our tests and results. And if you want to buy the Galaxy S24 FE, it is now available from Samsung in most markets worldwide.
