Samsung is preparing to release a new Fan Edition phone, and according to leaks, this upcoming device will have a larger screen than previous FE models.
Instead of a 6.5-inch panel similar to the original or a 6.4-inch display akin to the and , the upcoming will boast a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen.
The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be a fantastic move on Samsung's part, and here is why.
I don't subscribe to the idea that all people on a budget want compact phones. It just so happens that smaller phones are usually cheaper and these two characteristics overlap. If you ask me, this is why a larger chunk of series buyers have gravitated toward the base model instead of the .
I believe most of these Samsung customers chose the base variant not because it is smaller but because it is cheaper than the S24+, all the while preserving similar flagship qualities. Granted, some people wanted a smaller phone, but even so, I think the price is a bigger factor than size in this case.
Now, we can probably all agree that Fan Edition phones should always be cheaper than base flagship Galaxy S models. And one of the good things about FE phones is that their displays have been sized somewhere in between the standard and Plus Galaxy S variants.
However, once again, I don't believe the majority of people who bought Fan Edition phones did it because of their in-between screen size. I'd be willing to wager that they picked an FE device mainly because it was a cheaper alternative to the full-fledged Galaxy S.
That being said, I'm inclined to believe that most people who bought a base Galaxy S or a Fan Edition device would not refuse a bigger screen if they could get one without spending extra.
That's why I really think that giving the Galaxy S24 FE a bigger 6.7-inch display — same as the Galaxy S24+ — is a fantastic idea as long as it doesn't disturb the pricing hierarchy and the Fan Edition phone maintains a fair price gap with the base Galaxy S flagship model.

More suggests that the Galaxy S24 FE's 6.7-inch display will have a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and peak brightness of up to 1,900 nits. All in all, I have high hopes that the upcoming Fan Edition phone will be a hit, and I really think it has the potential to become the best FE phone to date, assuming Samsung doesn't mess up the price.
If previous Fan Edition phones were a mix between the more expensive base and Plus models size-wise, the Galaxy S24 FE might become a fantastic cheap(er) alternative to the Galaxy S24+, which I am a big fan of. That's a really nice thought. As long as Samsung prices the Galaxy S24 FE right, I believe it's going to be a hit. Otherwise, I'd hate to see such a fantastic opportunity to create an unbeatable value king go to waste.
If Samsung could also provide , similar to flagship phones, the Galaxy S24 FE would become truly a legendary phone and one of the best for 2024. I'm hoping for the best.
