Samsung confirms Galaxy S24 FE existence in Europe
Samsung just confirmed Galaxy S24 FE existence in Europe. The company has silently published a support page for the unreleased smartphone. However, the listing has nothing to show apart from the phone’s model number.
Galaxy S24 FE has been listed as SM-S721B on the Samsung support site confirming its Europe debut. The phone will support dual SIM functionality, the model number says. The page contains a link to Warranty info and common topics.
Samsung’s listing page has a dedicated section for the phone’s image. While the model number has been listed, the image area remains vacant. However, Onleaks already revealed the CAD rendering of the S24 FE, suggesting a S24-inspired design.
The Galaxy S24 FE could launch in late October or early November. Samsung has to hold an Unpacked for Galaxy S25 series in January 2025. Therefore, we might see the next Fan Edition’s unveiling in October this year.
Samsung is said to use Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips in Galaxy S24 FE. Most of the markets would get Exynos, while the US and Canada could get Snapdragon models. It is expected to run Android 14 out of the box with support for 7 OS upgrades.
Stay tuned for future developments.
