Samsung Galaxy S24 FE preorders are live: where to buy the latest mid-range flagship
Starting at $699 / £649, you can easily save with a trade-in
Android phone fans take note - Samsung Galaxy S24 FE preorders have just gone live at the official Samsung Store, with the devices starting at just $699 / £649 for the baseline 128GB model.
Alongside a massive focus on the excellent 'Galaxy AI' suite of software features, the new Galaxy S24 FE also brings a powerful Ray-Tracing-ready Exynos 2400e chipset, an expanded 4,700mAh battery, and a massive 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED - the biggest we've ever seen on an FE 'Series' chipset. We've included a more detailed overview of the device just below, and you can also check out our main Galaxy S24 FE hub page for a full, in-depth deep dive into the device.
Regarding opening deals, Samsung currently offers a great trade-in rebate of up to $400 / £350 off and additional for the Galaxy Buds FE when you bundle them in with the device. As of writing, we haven't spotted any other carriers with Galaxy S24 FE preorder deals, but we'll update this page as soon as they go live. We've spotted that AT&T is set to go live with Galaxy S24 FE preorders on October 3rd when the device officially releases. We assume other carriers will follow suit.

Samsung's opening deal is standard fare from the official retailer but worth checking out regardless of whether you're looking for an unlocked or carrier device.

What's new with the Galaxy S24 FE?
The latest Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is all about AI, bringing Samsung's class-leading Galaxy AI features to a mid-range mobile that's much easier on the wallet than the standard S24 series. Samsung's expansive range of AI features spans a wide range of productivity and everyday applications and includes useful things like improved search results, live translation, myriad photo editing tools, and even text prompts and generation.
Of course, it's not just the new AI features that make the S24 FE a worthy option if you're looking for a flagship on a budget. Alongside a 50MP main lens line-up, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto lens, the S24 FE also features an excellent 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display capable of up to a silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate. That's the biggest display on an FE device yet - and you're also getting a slightly bigger 4,700mAh battery.
