Samsung is taking preorders for an unannounced phone

Hardware leaks are common these days, but here’s an unusual one from Samsung: the Galaxy S24 FE preorder page is live even though the phone hasn’t even been announced yet. X user Roland Quandt spotted the preorder page live on Samsung’s site. While it’s probably an error and we expect to see the page disappear soon, this seemingly confirms the S24 FE’s imminent launch — and a few high-level specs.

From the looks of it, the S24 FE (that’s Fan Edition, for the uninitiated) will cost $649.99 with 128GB of storage, with a 256GB version available for $709.99. That’s a slight price bump over the S23 FE, which started at $599. A slide in an image carousel on the page seems to confirm similar camera specs to last year, including a 50-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and an 8-megapixel 3x telephoto lens.

Color options look a little more muted this time around. The preorder page shows pastel blue and mint options in addition to graphite and gray — a far cry from the tangerine and purple hues of the S23 FE. The website also touts one more headline feature that’s easy to guess: Galaxy AI. When this phone gets an official announcement, AI will surely be at the forefront.

According to the preorder page (which is, incredibly, still online as I write this!), the phone S24 FE will arrive on October 3rd. Will it be available before Apple’s AI features ship? The race is on.
