That price hike could be due to the new software promises Samsung is making. Smartprix says that Samsung will offer seven years of Android updates and security patches when it launches the S24 FE. That matches Google’s new (ish) promise on updates and Apple’s unofficial seven-year policy.

The S25 Ultra is also rumoured to have a similar external design as the S24 Ultra model, but with rounded sides, and could potentially have upgraded health and monitoring features for users who own the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
