Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 FE model with a Exynos 2400. Called Exynos 2400e, the company has now revealed what sets this modified variant of the SoC apart. As Samsung Semiconductor told Android Authority, the only difference between the two is the maximum frequency.
The Exynos 2400e found inside the new Galaxy S24 FE has a maximum frequency of 3.1 GHz. In comparison, the regular variant of the SoC can go up to 3.2 GHz, which means there is a difference of only 100 Mhz when it comes to Fmax. This difference of 0.1 GHz would only be slightly noticeable in terms of benchmarks.
In other words, this lower clock speed is unlikely to result in any real-world performance loss. As for why the maximum frequency was lowered, Samsung Semiconductor says it was done to slightly optimize the SoC for the Galaxy S24 FE. The company did not reveal whether the optimization affects the battery life or for the temperature.
It’s worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is only available with Exynos 2400e. Predecessors, like the S23 FE, had a Snapdragon variant, while the vanilla and Plus models sold in the US, Canada and China feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 per Galaxy.
In our benchmarks, the Exynos 2400 wins over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme, PCMark, and idle power consumption. The Samsung chip is a little behind in other aspects, and the same should be true for the chip it powers l’S24 FE.
Other than that, since the Exynos 2400e and Exynos 2400 are identical, the Galaxy S24 FE should get all the future Galaxy AI features coming to the series. The other features that come with the One UI updates should also be available on Samsung’s new, slightly affordable flagship phone (S24 128GB, currently $719.99 on Amazon).
