Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Leak: Display, Camera, Processor
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has been extensively leaked, showcasing its official design and specifications.
The phone’s appearance closely mirrors other models in the Galaxy S24 series, offering no major design changes. However, Samsung has opted for a larger display in this FE generation compared to its predecessor.
Display and Brightness
The Galaxy S24 FE will boast a 6.7-inch screen, an upgrade from the 6.4-inch display seen on the Galaxy S23 FE. The brightness level has been enhanced from 1450 nits to 1900 nits, while maintaining a 120Hz refresh rate.
With the increase in screen size, the dimensions of the phone are expected to change. Despite this, Samsung has not made significant enhancements to the battery. The S24 FE will feature a 4565mAh battery, a minor improvement over the 4500mAh battery of its predecessor.
Battery life is projected at 29 hours for video playback and 78 hours for audio. However, actual performance will vary based on real-world use.
Performance and Features
The leak also highlights that the phone will be powered by an Exynos 2400e chipset, a variant of the flagship processor. As a 2024 model, it will naturally be equipped with AI functionalities. The S24 FE is expected to provide features such as Portrait Studio, Circle to Search, and Generative Edit.
Camera Setup
The camera system remains consistent with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto unit with 3x optical zoom. While Samsung has improved its camera processing recently, the photographic performance of the S24 FE will be a key aspect in evaluating its overall value.
Currently, there is no pricing information available for the Galaxy S24 FE. Given that the S23 FE is priced at $599, it is likely that the S24 FE will see a price increase due to its larger display and new chipset.

HTC U24 Pro Leak: Curved Display & Pill-Shaped Camera Revealed
According to earlier hints from HTC, the company is set to unveil the U24 / Pro smartphones on June 12. Recently, a leaked poster of the HTC U24 Pro has surfaced, showcasing the device's design.
HTC U24 Pro Design and Rumored Specifications
The image reveals that the phone features a triple rear camera setup, with a centered punch-hole camera on the front. Two of the rear cameras are housed in a pill-shaped module, while the third one is separate. Additionally, a pill-shaped flash is positioned outside the camera module. Notably, this camera system has one less lens compared to the HTC U23 Pro, which debuted in May last year. The previous model included a 2MP depth sensor, which seems to have been omitted in the new version.
The display appears to be slightly curved at the edges, though this could be an optical illusion caused by the angle of reflection. The chin at the bottom of the phone may be somewhat wider than the top bezel. The image also indicates a rounded middle frame, unlike the flat design of its predecessor. According to earlier rumors, the display could be a 6.8″ FHD+ (1080 x 2436) OLED panel.
Internal Specifications
Regarding internal components, the phone is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, an upgrade from last year’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. The device has already been spotted on GeekBench, confirming a 12 GB RAM variant. It is likely to come with 256GB of storage.
What to Expect?
For context, the U23 Pro is equipped with a 108MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, a 5MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. It also features a 32MP centered punch-hole camera on the front.
The U23 Pro houses a 4600mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. Unlike many of its competitors, the U23 Pro offers 15W wireless charging as well. Therefore, the U24 Pro might also support wireless charging, along with potentially faster wired charging and a 5000mAh battery.
However, since the information is based on a leaked poster, it should be taken with caution. More details will be available soon.
