Samsung is said to be working on the Galaxy S24 Fan Edition. The company launched its Galaxy S24 series of smartphones earlier this year, and the Galaxy S24 FE, a scaled-down version of Samsung's flagship phones, could arrive later this year. Now, the Fan Edition phone has been spotted online, and the listing suggests the smartphone's nickname and model numbers.
Android Headlines has reportedly spotted the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE online, suggesting the phone's manufacturer, market name, brand and model numbers. The Galaxy S24 FE was reported to be listed with model numbers SM-S721B, SM-S721U, SM-S721W, and SM-S721N. The report claimed that the upcoming phone will be officially launched in markets like America, Korea and Canada, in addition to being sold globally.
The listing did not reveal any other details about the Galaxy S24 FE, including its specifications and release schedule. Samsung has yet to confirm its plans for the phone. However, several reports and rumors have suggested that the company is working to bring the phone to market by the end of this year or early 2025.
A report earlier this week had claimed that the South Korean tech giant was working on a new smartphone, codenamed R12. The codename corresponds to the previous phones in the Fan Edition line: the Galaxy S23 FE was associated with the codename R11. Therefore, R12 could refer to the upcoming Galaxy S24 FE.
Furthermore, the report also claimed that the expected launch of the phone, which was previously believed to debut in summer this year, had probably been pushed forward. Based on the current state of development, the Galaxy S24 FE is now said to arrive in late 2024 or early 2025.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the phone was slated for release ahead of the usual release cycle for Fan Edition smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE was launched in October last year, but its successor was said to arrive in early summer 2024.
Little is known about Samsung's upcoming smartphone, but the Galaxy S24 FE has previously been tipped to feature a 6.1-inch AMOLED display. The phone is expected to be powered by the Exynos 2400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, depending on the market.
Samsung is also reportedly preparing a Fan Edition of the Galaxy Watch, a cheaper Galaxy Watch model that could debut with a different moniker. The wearable, which is said to be in development, could launch as an updated Galaxy Watch 4.
