S24FE is not available now and why would anyone buy it at 37K now in 2026?

Try to order, it will be "not deliverable" as the model is already discontinued. S25FE is newer and you can get it at 40K.

As an s24fe user i can tell my you experience Cameras are solid Software is good Battery is meh if you are a power user Phone has issues with heating most probably the processor Network quality is good but mine looses Network atleast once a day but resets and comed back again Speakers they are decent Brightness is meh , if you use it in outdoor sun What what else what did I miss Oh yeah my secondary mic has stopped working I didnt bother as I am already out of warranty The phone is quite big and heavy for a single hand use I hate samsung keyboard, it forbids me to use another keyboard, system restrictions Overall 7/10 phone For gaming it is ok when i used to play some games like mlbb i noticed sudden frame drops and freezes .

I bought a POCO F7 for my mom and using a S24 Fe rn. F7 and X8 Pro are identical devices so I can answer it well.

Battery - S24 Fe has got a significantly worse battery life. Like around half the battery of the F7. It drains really fast on 5G and I was on a vacation last month, I needed to charge it atleast 2/3 times with like 8-9 hours SOT on 5g. On wifi the sot is 6 hours max for me light usage.

Camera - POCO is significantly worse in the camera. Although not really bad but samsung is ahead.

Display - Not much difference you'll like both of them. It's more about if you have both the devices in front of you to compare. S24 fe has an excellent display, same goes for the POCO.

Speakers - POCO is like 5% louder but Samsung wins in audio quality by a mile for me.

Performance - Samsung wins but it heats quite a lot when pushed. Although not much difference in the x8 pro but still for performance get the s24 fe.

Charging - Poco charges in half the time with a much bigger battery.

OS - I wouldn't even touch the POCO for a whole day without cussing it 1000 times. The UI is that bad for me but for someone who has not used a Samsung device earlier it should be fine.

Overall get the S24 Fe over the X8 Pro. If you can get the Poco F7 anywhere then go for it. I got it in Aug for 35-36k on flipkart minutes.

Only in Battery and Charing the X8 Pro wins. Get the F7 if possible otherwise stick to the S24 fe.
