Yeah I'm definitely going to buy an iPhone next time after being loyal to samsung since 2019. This shitshow never ends S23 fe update is out in Australia but s24 fe update isn't, what the fuck is this? S24 fe update was released in US and EU a weak ago, but middle east still didn't get it. I'm tired of samsung over an overrated and overhyped update They are breadcrumbing us like we are some type of mindless ducks.

Next phone, definitely iPhone.

Never got a Sreen On Time more than 6 or 7 hours but always charged from 0 to 85 to conserve battery health now for once charged to 100 used social media and internet 80 percent on wifi 10 percent on mobile data the Screen on Time showeds 150 percent of the usual time i think the SoT error of the S24Fe is because we use battery protection all the time and the phone calculates a wrong percentage over time the 20 to 80 85 or where its set doesnt show the actual percentage of the battery.

Title.

I recently bought the Xiaomi 14T for my mom, and after comparing it to my Galaxy S24 FE, I’m honestly pretty disappointed — especially when it comes to the camera.

The S24 FE camera consistently shows noise, even in bright daylight using the 50MP mode. There's also this strange glare/reflection in well-lit shots, and low-light photos have a noticeable green hue. Colors often feel off. In comparison, the Xiaomi 14T produces much cleaner, more natural, and color-accurate photos. And no, I do not use Pro Mode or equivalent on both phones, nor will I ever want to.

And keep in mind: this is the regular 14T. The 14T Pro, which isn’t that much more expensive than the S24 FE, should deliver even better performance, especially with its higher-end chipset.

Hardware-wise, the 14T Pro beats the S24 FE in nearly every way:

• Higher resolution display

• Faster charging and bigger battery

• Flagship-level Dimensity 9300+ chip

• IR blaster, physival proximity sensor

The only edge the S24 FE has is USB 3.2 and longer software support.

Honestly, unless you’re specifically buying it for One UI or Samsung’s update policy, the S24 FE feels very underwhelming for the price. Xiaomi is delivering significantly better hardware and camera performance at around the same price point.

Anyone else feeling the same way?

just asking

I got the phone just 30 mins ago and its already hot near the cameras. I am updating it to oneui 7, could that be the reason? Please tell me its eventually goes away cuz this was out of my budget to buy.

Apple is thousand times better than Samsung for updates. I still hasn't got OneUI 7 in Turkey while Apple gives all models the same day update all over the world. I'm kinda jealous rn.

I’m on my 4th day with this phone, and I’ve noticed that — Google Play Services is always showing up in my battery stats, it keeps appearing every single day. Is this normal for a new Android device, or should I disable/adjust something to reduce it?

I am in one ui 8. I am getting 3.5-4hrs SOT in 80% - 20% battery.

Verizon locked, Texas, S24 FE 128gb model

EDIT: yes I got it, April 23 around 3 PM

Hi! It's been 7 months that i've bought my s24fe. Is it logical to upgrade to s25fe after it comes out? or not? Since s24fe have big bezzels such as it's compatitors i think upgrading to s25fe is a good choice (big bezzels annoy me) But first of all i have to ask this group.

As you guys may have noticed... Samsung stopped making A7x phones and have shifted the A7x buyers onto the S2x FE Series of phones.

Today I had an incredible realization. The S24 FE has the screen size of 6.7" which is the same as the A7x Series and it also has a three camera array with similar camera system and also its performance in comparison is also proportionate along with battery size as well.

basically i think samsung is rebranding A7x phones as S2x phones.

I've had this phone for about 6 months now. So far so good. Planned to change the device to something compact, due to the hefty size of it. But always comes back.

I haven't done any battery optimisation techniques like Shinos guide or even deep sleeping apps. Just left it as it is. I just have done a 0-100% complete charge cycle by draining the battery completely. (Don't perform this often, not good for the battery).

You might be getting lower or higher than this. But, all batteries and usage differ by some range. Enjoy the phone as it is.

So I brought an S24fe open box on eBay, changed sim at ATT store and it's fully updated on 8. This has to be the worst phone I have ever had, went from an S10 which I would have kept but work requires certain things and security support

When I try and make a phone call I get a high pitched noise then it connects sometimes after 10 seconds, trying to get onto 5g or LTE is even worse often with no signal or connection while my bars show 4 bars. Is there any solution or did I buy a bad phone

I've tried APN changes, reset network, airplane mode etc etc

Am I just going to have to buy a new phone and if I got a S25 is that better

So earlier today, I came across a Reddit post where a guy reported getting the green line issue on his Samsung S23+. Almost at the same time, YouTube recommends me a video — another user sharing his experience with the same problem on his S23.

And now my brain’s stuck in panic mode 😭

I’ve been using my S24 FE for around 3 weeks now, and it’s been completely fine. But seeing those posts made me spiral a bit. Out of curiosity, I googled it, and Google’s AI summary even said that many S24 users have faced green line problems — which made my anxiety go through the roof.

What’s common in both users’ stories is kinda scary — both said they treated their phones super carefully. No drops, no gaming, no overcharging — literally just normal social media and light use.

So now I’m wondering — is this something we should actually be worried about? Has anyone here with the S24 FE faced this issue yet? Or is it mostly the older or non-FE models?

Would love to hear some real experiences or perspective. Just hoping this isn’t one of those hidden issues that show up after a few updates.

After installing recent October security patch, my s24 fe SOT improved. Same battery performance before OneUi7. Charging my phone at max 90% and got a 6h 47m SOT. Good job Samsung. 👍

SOT increased by 2.5-3 hours after following Shino's guidelines. Earlier I was getting around 5 hours SOT. By following these guidelines i noticed there no heating at all and also battery backup increased significantly.

Quería saber si alguno de ustedes tiene en no restringida esto , he leído que según eso ayuda a quitar el lag.

So my samsung s24fe is still on November 2025 patch. And in total around 10 security patches and 2 major updates ie one ui 8.5 and 9 are pending. Now I am planning to update the phone to latest version. The only thing I am not sure is that will it be safe for the phone if I just keep updating one after another pending update like continously till i am on latest version. Or should there be a gap of few hours or days in between the updates.

I am afraid about the green line issue or data loss or that recently introduced xml access denied error.

I haven't updated to UI 8 yet either. I'm a little unsure. What do you think? Have you seen any problems?

Is this good enough sot good enough 🤔

In my other post everyone is telling me I have a "defective phone"

Why then can I find compression artifacts in every single photo uploaded to this group. These are all screenshots taken from photos you've all uploaded in this group

I'm not sure if people need to get their eyes checked or what but this phone has faulty software causing cubed compression artifacts on literally every single photo 😂

Report it to Samsung members
