Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 FE this week, alongside two premium tablets. But is any one of them actually worth it? Let\u2019s look at the phone first.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE starts at $650 and you can get up to $400 worth of trade-in credit. Additionally, you can pick up other FE gadgets, the Galaxy Watch FE and Galaxy Buds FE, at half price. We will have a look at the accessories in a moment.<\/p>\n

The FE will receive 7 OS updates and 7 years of security patches. Will a device with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage still be usable in 7 years? Who knows, Android is not as slim as it once was and it\u2019s not getting any slimmer. Neither are all the apps.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy S24+ also has a 6.7\u201d display, but it\u2019s a QHD+ LTPO panel versus an FHD+ non-LTPO display on the FE. And the Plus is actually a bit smaller and 17g lighter, despite having a battery that is 200mAh larger. The Plus also wins the charging race with 45W over a wire vs. 25W. Instead of the Exynos 2400e you will get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and it comes with 12GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

With no trade-in, the Galaxy S24+ gets a $200 discount so the base 12\/256GB model drops to $800 \u2013 not that far off the 8\/256GB S24 FE at $710. However, an old S21+ will fetch a $400 discount due to a promo campaign that boosts the trade-in value. That\u2019s a worthwhile upgrade and a good price for a phone that\u2019s three years old.<\/p>\n

Samsung also has a certified refurbished program for its older models, but it doesn\u2019t make too much sense \u2013 the Galaxy S23+ starts at $770 for an 8\/256GB unit. However, the trade-in offer is even better here. Even old, cheap phones with cracked screens are valued at $300 \u2013 that\u2019s how much you can get for a damaged Galaxy A13, for example. The S21+ is also valued at $300, it\u2019s best if you have a cheap old device to send in.<\/p>\n

Or you can grab a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The prices start at $920 and the trade-in offers aren\u2019t as good, but a damaged Galaxy A13 will still get $150 credit, which is more than it\u2019s worth. An S21+ in good condition can fetch $300.<\/p>\n

We mentioned that you can get FE gadgets at 50% off if you buy them alongside the S24 FE. This includes the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE, which is normally priced at $200 for the Bluetooth model (currently it has a $20 discount). However, Samsung is also launching an LTE version of this watch, which is $250. Note that the Watch FE is available only in 40mm size. That isn\u2019t a huge problem for what could be the main audience for a Galaxy Watch FE LTE \u2013 students who aren\u2019t allowed to bring a smartphone to school.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You can also grab the Galaxy Buds FE, which are stemless, unlike the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro. These are $100 (their MSRP) and we\u2019ve certainly seen quite a few discounts for them, but $50 is a great price (when bought with the S24 FE).<\/p>\n

If you do decide to go with a Galaxy S24 FE, here are some official cases to consider:<\/p>\n

Samsung also introduced new flagship tablets, but only 12.4\u201d and 14.6\u201d models this time. Both use a Dimensity 9300+ chipset instead of a Snapdragon and have a heavy focus on AI \u2013 the optional keyboard cover even has a dedicated button for the Galaxy AI Assistant.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, here is the Book Cover Keyboard Slim for the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t find a good deal on last year\u2019s Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, but we did find a pretty cheap Galaxy Tab S9+. The upgrades for the 2024 generations are fairly minor<\/a>. Samsung says that the Dimensity 9300+ has an 18% faster CPU, 28% faster GPU and 14% faster NPU. Not bad, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside the Tab S9 series is no slouch either.<\/p>\n
