Nevertheless, by the leaks we have now been getting concerning the iPhone SE 4, it’s sounding prefer it might need a tricky time competing with the Galaxy S24 FE.
On this comparability, we’ll delve into the important thing elements that set these two units aside: design and show, efficiency and software program, digicam capabilities, battery life and charging, and pricing. By the tip of this evaluation, you will have a transparent understanding of which telephone is the suitable match in your wants.

Design and Measurement
Considerably completely different size-wize
The S24 FE’s design additionally takes inspiration from Samsung’s flagship sequence. In truth, it’s arduous to inform other than the remainder of the S24 lineup. It has a glass again with aluminum body, which is alsa what we count on the iPhone SE 4 to be fabricated from.
For sturdiness, the iPhone SE 4 may include Apple’s 2nd-gen Ceramic Defend. However even when it’s the older model it should nonetheless be arguably extra sturdy than the Gorilla Glass Victus Plus that protects the S24 FE show.
We nonetheless do not know what colours the iPhone SE 4 may are available. It is secure to count on one or two “enjoyable” and shiny colours and a pair which are extra “secure” and impartial.
In the meantime, the Galaxy S24 FE colours are:
- Blue
- Graphite
- Grey
- Mint
- Yellow
Show Variations
However irrespective of how massive of an improve the brand new SE 4 show is, the Galaxy S24 FE will nonetheless have the higher one. Not solely is it 6.7 inches, nevertheless it additionally has a 120Hz refresh price, whereas the SE 4 will virtually definitely max out at 60Hz.
Relating to show visibility, we measured 1110 nits of most brightness on the S24 FE throughout our show lab exams. That’s fairly a bit greater than the 849 nits we measured on the iPhone 13, and if the SE 4 will get the identical panel it may also have the identical brightness.
As for biometrics, we absolutely count on Apple to introduce Face ID to the SE sequence with the SE 4, on condition that it’s speculated to have the physique of the iPhone 14. The S24 FE comes with a quick and correct ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Each approaches are quick and secure, and each are simple to get used to.
Efficiency and Software program
iPhone SE 4’s chip is unclear, however the S24 FE is an absolute beast
Some are saying that Apple may even skip the A16 and A17 chips and improve the SE sequence to the newest A18 chips made through TSMC’s newest 3nm course of. This might, in fact, be wonderful, however it’s arduous to consider given the value the SE sequence normally goes for. Since it’s the newest rumor although, that’s the one we’re sticking to for now.
As for RAM, the iPhone SE 4 is claimed to return with 6GB, which is a bit lower than the 8GB on the FE. That mentioned, iPhones have a tendency to wish much less reminiscence than Androids, so this distinction between the 2 should not be of a lot significance.
For storage, the Fan Version begins at 128GB, and supposedly so will the SE 4. That mentioned, the FE goes as much as 512GB whereas the SE 4 may solely go as excessive as 256GB.
Digicam
Apple remains to be sticking to only one digicam…
Sadly, the Galaxy S24 will most likely stay the significantly better alternative so far as digicam efficiency goes. That is as a result of the iPhone SE 4 is rumored to nonetheless function only one digicam on the again, in comparison with the large, ultra-wide, and 3x telephoto digicam setup on the S24 FE.
At the very least Apple is claimed to place a 48MP sensor within the SE 4, which can or is probably not the identical sensor from the latest non-Professional iPhone fashions.
This might be a serious win for the S24 FE, as it should supply a wider vary of focal lengths. Completely different focal lengths can produce dramatically completely different photographs. Customers are used to having some versatility these days relating to their telephone cameras, so having only one may really feel bizarre and even a bit awkward to some, irrespective of how good it’s.
Battery Life and Charging
The iPhone SE 4 may flip the tides for battery life
So far as charging goes, there nonetheless have not been any information concerning the iPhone SE 4. The Galaxy S24 FE comes with a good 25W wired and 15W wi-fi charging, however we suspect Apple will not supply these sort of speeds with its subsequent budget-friendly iPhone.
Extra possible than not, the iPhone SE 4 will get 20W wired charging. That mentioned, we may see 15W of wi-fi charging if Apple decides to introduce MagSafe to its SE sequence for the primary time.

Abstract
The iPhone SE 4, with its compact and light-weight design, presents a well-known iOS expertise to that of extra trendy iPhone fashions, and probably even the ability of the Apple A18 processor. Nevertheless, its restricted digicam capabilities could be a giant deal breaker for a lot of potential patrons.
The Galaxy S24 FE, then again, boasts a bigger, high-refresh-rate show and a flexible triple-camera system. It presents the flexibleness of Android with One UI and sooner charging speeds. Nevertheless, its bulkier and heavier design and potential for shorter battery life are drawbacks price preserving word of.
The precise pricing and availability of the iPhone SE 4 are but to be formally introduced. On the very least it should undoubtedly be extra reasonably priced than the iPhone 16 and even the iPhone 15 sequence. But when Apple needs to compete with the Galaxy S24 FE, it should worth the iPhone SE 4 at $649.99 for its base configuration.
