Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is technically a flagship, but it doesn’t qualify as one if you talk the price alone. Still, some of its benchmarks that we’ve been coming across lately have shown that it didn’t cut too many corners for that low price tag, and in some cases, it can even outdo the best of flagships.
This phone gets an Exynos 2400e that’s essentially a lower-clock Exynos 2400 from the S24 or S24 Plus, but that doesn’t mean a big loss in relative performance. They say the Exynos 2400e has lost only 12% of the Exynos 2400’s output, but people have been putting it side by side with Apple A18 on iPhone 16, and there’s seemingly very little disparity.
A18 is only 4% better than the Exynos 2400e, but remember FE has the same Xclipse 940 GPU that we saw in Exynos 2400 and it’s AMD’s RDNA 3 tech can do ray tracing like no other. Even Apple’s 5-core GPU can’t keep up with it, even though it’s their best “Ray Tracing mobile GPU” yet.
There’s a Solar Bay test that we usually see in 3DMark’s app that tests GPU’s Ray Tracing, and that’s where we say Samsung's latest FE model’s wild performance, put against Apple A18 iPhone 16. That Exnos 2400e chip is almost 24% better at ray tracing than Apple’s A18.
E2400e tallied an 8242 score on this Solar Bay test, but Apple A18 was down by a country mile and scored nearly 6691 points. We know that this test makes little to no difference in the current gaming market, but the iPhone 16 is meant to be one of the greatest in 2024, so it shouldn’t fall short in any category, especially for its price.
