So much faster than the s23 fe, this is not a slight upgrade rather a big one for performance. Samsung has redeemed themselves with the exynos 2400.

Got the S24 FE after trading in my S23 FE for a massive discount of $300. Everything is better especially the performance, battery life, temperature. S23 FE had really bad ghost touch and freezes sometimes probably due to the unoptimized garbage Exynos 2200, gaming was horrible as well. Really happy with the S24 FE. If you're a gamer but also want great cameras and flagship features but are on a budget, this phone is for you.

Slightly upgrade and did you see it? The design kinda boring, from series A to S has similar body design, plus the bezel still thick, maybe wait until series S25 or S26, until then, go for S23 FE

It's a really really really slightly upgrade... At the moment, I prefer s23fe for 400$(at my local stores) over s24fe for 650-700$, if the price drops under 500, then go for it, other wise it's not worth it
