Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Google Pixel 8a - Couldn't be more different!

(Affiliate Links)

My thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. the Google Pixel 8a. Very different phones with very different people in mind! It's all about feel. If you want that near flagship experience that is excellent all-around, the Galaxy S24 FE is worth a look. However, if you want a better camera and a compact experience, the Pixel 8a has good points.

Different phones for different people!

The 8a is making the fe's bezels look super slim, lol.

If i were buying one of these, I'd buy the S24FE, i am such a pixel fan but, man that display is way too small for me these days. I'd miss the cameras, but i watch videos & movies more than i take pictures, i also believe this is the BEST FE samsung has ever made. I agree its over priced, even still. It's a damn nice phone.

Hey Steve, one important detail with regard to the flash memory in the S24 FE and the 128 Gb and 256/512 Gb variants - the 128 Gb version has UFS 3.1 compliant internal memory versus the UFS 4.0 compliant memory in the 256 & 512 Gb versions. An important detail IMO for those who care about such things in their devices.

I was thinking of getting the pixel 8a but then I saw the s24 fe and went with the blue one.

S24FE all day! 449 with any old Android trade in and has DeX!
That Pixel bar design is so dated. And sweet baby jebus those bezels are big on the 8A. Even the A15 has smaller bezels

I have the standard S24 and picked up an 8a on Amazon a few weeks ago just because I missed having a Pixel around and man, when I switch to the 8a, I really don't miss the "flagship" experience of the S24, not to mention the HAPTICS on the Pixel are just incredible, genuinely the OS feels alive with all the little buzzes and taps I love it lol

Hey Steve, setting aside the price on the S24 fe, compared to S24, and the S24 Plus, and or S24 Ultra, how do you equate that with budget as you called the S24 fe? This is the first time I have heard of an "S" class phone being called a budget device, unless it is directly being compared to another S class phone from Samsung.
As you know, Samsung has its own dedicated "mid-range" or "budget" range in the A range of phones.
As for the Pixel 8a, Google actually does call it a budget device, but with the same internals as the Pixel 8, or Pixel 8 XL while the S24 fe does not have the same internals as the rest of the range.

I bought a 8a release day when I broke my 14 Pro Max. It was good phone with terrible cameras. I got the 24 FE last week for free from ATT and it's actually much better than I expected. Screen is nice and vibrant, performance is great. Cameras are better than a lot of reviewers are saying it is. My daily is a P9P and other than the simplicity of the Pixel software, I've been liking the 24 FE more.

Got a question will you do a video of end of surface duo 2 like the first one.

[AzureRT]

If I had to pick between the two, 8a all the way. I'm not a Pixel fanboy, nor have I even owned one. But man, the black 8a LOOKS and FEELS like my 2017 Galaxy J3 Prime, which is a huge plus to me. I don't mind the plastic back, it feels just as good as glass but without any durability concerns. Smaller bezels on the FE are cool, but I'm not too particularly bothered.

These two phones are a microcosm of Google and Samsung's different smartphone philosophies in play.

The regular S24 is only $70 more, but is it worth it? I’m genuinely curious, as I want to try a Samsung for my next phone. I had the Galaxy S6 that I loved, but been on iPhones and Pixels since then.

[cjrobo]

Got an awsome 8a carrier deal and threw in the closet. I like having a sealed spare with 7 years support.

[vivekvishwanathan]

Samsung, why they have not launched a55 5g in usa

[jillaltman]

I like my Samsung watch and phone too much to switch to anything else.

[scourned]

I know the price for the s24 fe isn't ideal but where's the hate for flagships that are $1300+?

[JSTYLES]

2:40 a less expensive "flagship"? That s24fe is not worth 650.00. it's a rip-off, especially for exynos. This is exactly why the A55 hasn't come out because it's a better phone under $400.00 with Snapdragon "upsidedowncake ". It literally beats the S24FE

[caspercat]

Just got the SE24FE (UK), free samsung smart watch to sweeten the deal
