Although the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is a flagship phone in theory, based only on pricing, it isn’t. Nevertheless, a few of its benchmarks that we’ve recently seen demonstrate that, despite its modest price, it didn’t skimp on quality; in some situations, it can even outperform the finest flagships.
Although the Exynos 2400e in this phone is effectively an Exynos 2400 from the S24 or S24 Plus with a slower clock, there isn’t much of a performance drop. According to them, the Exynos 2400e has only lost 12% of the output of the Exynos 2400, however when compared to the Apple A18 on the iPhone 16, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference.
The A18 is only 4% faster than the Exynos 2400e, but keep in mind that the FE has the same Xclipse 940 GPU as the Exynos 2400, and AMD’s RDNA 3 technology is unmatched in its ability to perform ray tracing. Even with Apple’s finest “Ray Tracing mobile GPU” to date, its 5-core GPU cannot keep up with it.
There’s a Solar Bay test that we generally see in 3DMark’s program that evaluates GPU’s Ray Tracing, and that’s where we say Samsung’s current FE model’s insane performance, set against Apple A18 iPhone 16. Compared to Apple’s A18, the Exnos 2400e chip performs about 24% better at ray tracing.
The Apple A18 scored around 6691 points, a country mile below the E2400e’s 8242 score on this Solar Bay test. We know that the current gaming market is unaffected by this test. Still, since the iPhone 16 is expected to rank among the best in 2024, it shouldn’t perform poorly in any area, particularly considering its price.
