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 original Galaxy S24 range first went on sale all the way back in February and are some of the best Android phones we've seen this year. Now it seems a new version of these popular devices - which includes the S24, S24 Plus and S24 Ultra - is coming soon and it could land in pockets with a surprisingly low price tag.

In our iPhone 16 Pro benchmark testing, the newest Apple flagship nabbed a single-core score of 3,386 in Geekbench, which is higher than both the OnePlus 13 and the S25 Ultra. However, the multi-core score was lower, hitting 8,306.
