Another interesting feature of the FE is “Vision Booster” which enhances color and contrast for high glare situations. Altogether, the company says that the S24 FE is “the perfect device for gaming on the go”.

The S24 FE also has an AI-powered Photo Assist feature that suggests corrections and edits to a picture or helps add or remove objects in a picture using generative AI. It’s going to change the look of your selfies in a cartoon, comic manner, watercolour paint style or sketch to help you reimagine your social media profile picture. Also, it will be possible to utilize Circle to Search with Google on the FE and work with the device as the real-time language translator using Live Translate even if you are offline. The FE can also summarize, format and even translate your meeting notes, besides assisting in the drafting of emails and posts for the supported social media apps “based on simple keywords.”
