The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has been spotted online again and could be launched soon
Will we see the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE soon? Well, that depends who you ask, because while a fairly recent leak suggested that the Galaxy S24 FE wouldn’t launch until late 2024 or early 2025, there’s mounting evidence that it could arrive sooner.
Most recently X user Tarun Vaten (through TelephoneArena) claims to have seen the first One UI test build for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE on Samsung’s firmware server.
Although the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is not mentioned here by name, the test version firmware is for a device with the model number SM-S721B, which is believed to be the European model of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE.

So not only is this evidence that the phone is in the works, it’s also evidence that it will – unsurprisingly – likely be available in Europe.
It is not entirely clear how soon it will be launched. As noted above, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE may not land for many months or even until 2025, but the existence of firmware for the phone suggests it could make its debut sooner.
It could happen soon
We’ve also recently seen model numbers for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, as spotted online by another site. These include the European model number mentioned above, plus models for the US, Canada and South Korea. In this case, the name of the phone was also mentioned, and these types of details normally appear in databases just before a phone’s launch.
Additionally, a slightly earlier leak suggested that Samsung was planning to launch the Galaxy S24 FE this summer (likely between June and August).
So between these three leaks, there are indications that we may not have to wait too long for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. Perhaps it will launch in July, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
But if it does launch soon, it would be earlier in the year than normal, so we don’t expect to wait any longer.
