When this phone gets an official announcement, AI will surely be at the forefront. According to the pre-order page (which is, incredibly, still online as I write this!) the phone S24 FE will arrive October 3rd.

Pre-orders for the S24 FE appear to be at least momentarily open prematurely, starting at $650. Samsung’s formal launch of the phone has been expected for later this week.

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.
