Samsung is set to officially announce the Galaxy S24 FE on September 26, but a pre-order listing has already appeared on the Samsung US website. This early listing, which has since been removed, disclosed details about the smartphone’s pricing, color choices, and main specifications.
Pricing Details
The pre-order listing indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will be priced at $649 for the base model featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. In the US, the phone is expected to come in Gray, Graphite, Mint, and Blue color options. There are also rumors of a Yellow variant being available in select markets. Additionally, a leak has suggested that the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will retail for $709.
Key Specifications
The listing revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is equipped with a spacious 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that boasts full HD resolution, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and enhanced maximum brightness, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight.
Performance and Battery Life
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Samsung Exynos 2400e chipset, which is essentially an underclocked version of the Exynos 2400 used in the Galaxy S24 and S24+.

Vivo X200 Pro with Dimensity 9400: Geekbench & 3C Charging Details
Vivo is preparing to launch its latest flagship smartphones, the X200 series, on October 14th in China. Before the official unveiling, these smartphones have appeared on China’s 3C certification database.
The 3C certifications list three upcoming Vivo models with the numbers V2419A, V2405A, and V2415A, all supporting 90W fast charging.
Speculations on Models
Industry insiders suspect the V2405A to be the standard X200 model. The V2415A’s identity is less certain; it might be a smaller "Mini" version or a slightly enhanced "Plus" model. The V2419A is expected to be the high-end X200 Pro.
Vivo X200 Pro on Geekbench
Additional information about the X200 Pro has emerged via Geekbench, a well-known benchmarking site. The listing confirms that the phone will be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 processor, along with 16GB of RAM.
However, the benchmark scores—1531 for single-core and 6168 for multi-core—seem unusually low, even lagging behind the Dimensity 9300 present in Vivo’s previous flagship models.
The Geekbench details do confirm the Dimensity 9400 specs. The processor features an octa-core CPU with one high-performance Cortex-X5 core at 3.63 GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 2.80 GHz, and four Cortex-A725 cores at 2.10 GHz for everyday tasks.
The same chipset is anticipated to be used in the vanilla and Mini/Plus models as well.
Vivo X200 Series Specifications
The base Vivo X200 is expected to sport a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1.5K resolution. It will be equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera using a 22nm Sony sensor, a periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and an ultra-wide lens. The phone will have a battery capacity of either 5,500mAh or 5,600mAh, supporting both wired and wireless charging.
In contrast, the X200 Pro is likely to feature a curved display with the same 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Its camera system will include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, a 50-megapixel primary sensor (possibly the same 22nm Sony sensor), and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Additionally, the Pro model may boast a larger 6,000mAh battery, water resistance rated at IP68 or IP69, and an upgraded X-axis motor for better haptic feedback.
The Mini variant is also predicted to include a 1.5K resolution display, a 70mm periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a battery of either 5,500mAh or 5,600mAh.

Camera and Software Enhancements
On the brighter side, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is projected to receive a camera upgrade. While the primary 200MP sensor and dual 50MP telephoto lenses are expected to stay the same, the ultrawide sensor may see an enhancement from 12MP to 50MP.
