For years, I've struggled to figure out why Samsung makes an FE version of its Galaxy S flagship phones. And with the Galaxy S24 FE hitting retail shelves on October 3, that struggle figures to continue.

Granted, we're comparing apples and oranges here. A better comparison would be the new Galaxy S24 FE (starts at $649.99) and the entry-level Galaxy S24 (starts at $859.99). They share more of the same specs and the price difference between the two is only $210.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is the latest addition to the S24 lineup, launching on October 3rd for $650. Here's everything you need to know.
