Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S24 FE may face a pricing dilemma. A recent leak indicates the Galaxy S24 FE might come with a $50 price increase. The price rise of the upcoming Galaxy S24 FE is an interesting continuation of a baffling trend, while passing on the Galaxy A55 release in the US, thus making void the budget-friendly category.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE price leaks
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 128GB model is expected to start at $649. The 256GB version pegs at $709. However, that is a colossal increase from the Galaxy S23 FE, which launched at an initial price of $599.
The starting price of the top-of-the-line Galaxy S24 would be around $799. This might force customers to consider old Galaxy S23 FE or Galaxy S23, for example, or even more expensive flagships.
Samsung would launch the Galaxy S24 FE soon, probably this week. Mid-range enthusiasts may look elsewhere, at least based on leaked prices. Samsung's approach to markets could be questioned since the company might lose its budget-conscious fan base. The pricing of the Galaxy S24 FE would widely affect its demand and there seems to be no Galaxy A55, apparently, in the US market.
While this may be uncertain about the price, renders, and leaked specs are promising to feature upgrades such as a better display, enhanced camera power, and a stronger processor.
However, these must be worth all these supposed price increases for an indispensable pricing strategy for the Galaxy S24 FE.
It could ultimately end up significantly affecting market viability for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, depending on how much it is priced up. If these leaked prices are anything to go by, then Samsung fans shall face an even more difficult decision, spend more or settle for an older model. This could be damaging to Samsung's mid-range market share.
