Samsung is taking preorders for an unannounced phone

Must read

From the looks of it, the S24 FE (that’s Fan Edition, for the uninitiated) will cost $649.99 with 128GB of storage, with a 256GB version available for $709.99. That’s a slight price bump over the S23 FE, which started at $599. A slide in an image carousel on the page seems to confirm similar camera specs to last year, including a 50-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and an 8-megapixel 3x telephoto lens.

Dedicated zoom lenses aren’t all that common on phones under $1,000, so this could be a nice inclusion.

Color options look a little more muted this time around. The preorder page shows pastel blue and mint options in addition to graphite and gray — a far cry from the tangerine and purple hues of the S23 FE. The website also touts one more headline feature that’s easy to guess: Galaxy AI. When this phone gets an official announcement, AI will surely be at the forefront.

According to the preorder page (which is, incredibly, still online as I write this!), the phone S24 FE will arrive on October 3rd. Will it be available before Apple’s AI features ship? The race is on.
