Samsung Galaxy S24 FE could offer more RAM than its non-FE counterpart

Over the past few weeks, a slew of leaks have revealed a lot about Samsung's next Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S24 FE. Contrary to earlier rumours, it will be Exynos-only (no Snapdragon this time) and run a slightly underclocked Exynos 2400 variant called the Exynos 2400e. However, it will come with a welcome memory upgrade.

X leaker @kro_roe says the top-spec Galaxy S24 FE variant could launch with 12 GB of RAM, likely to facilitate smooth operation of Galaxy AI features. Interestingly, that is more what one gets on a vanilla Galaxy S24 (curr. $799 on Amazon), but lose out on better cameras, wireless charging and other QoL features. That said, the information comes from just one person on X. Previous reports did not hint at any memory upgrades for the affordable flagship.

However, it is entirely within the realm of possibilities. Samsung has been long criticized for cheaping out on RAM, and the Galaxy S24 FE could herald in an era where one gets at least 12 GB of on-device memory, which is more necessary than even thanks to the demands of AI-powered applications. Plus, it gives credence to an earlier rumour which stated the entire Galaxy S25 series could offer at least 12 GB of RAM, with the Galaxy S25 Ultra upping it to 16 GB.
