The Galaxy S24 FE is expected to feature a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1900 nits peak brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. It could be powered by the Exynos 2400e processor, built on a 4nm process, paired with the Xclipse 940 GPU. The device could offer 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.

In terms of photography, the phone is rumored to feature a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. A 10MP front-facing camera is expected to be used for selfies. The phone is likely to run OneUI 6.1 based on Android 14 and will feature an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. A 4,565mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging is also expected.

Samsung employees go on strike

In other news, Samsung has faced internal challenges as employees went on strike earlier this month. The company recently issued a notice to striking employees warning that their wages would be withheld if they did not return to work. The company, calling the strike “illegal” under Sections 23 and 24 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, demanded that the employees respond within seven days or face potential dismissal. The company said that wages would not be paid from September 9, the day the strike began, until the employees return to their duties under the “no work, no pay” policy.

The situation remains tense and it will be important to monitor any developments in this labour dispute.
