Samsung’s recently unveiled Galaxy S24 FE has undergone a thorough teardown, revealing key internal upgrades. Among the most notable is the larger vapor chamber, which is now 1.1x bigger, or around 10% larger than its predecessor, the S23 FE. This change is coupled with an upgraded Exynos 2400 chipset, replacing the Exynos 2200/Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from last year’s model.
The teardown process begins with the removal of the glass back, exposing a layout quite similar to the previous version. A heat spreader covers the new Exynos 2400 chipset, and additional thermal management tools, such as graphite film and thermal paste, help dissipate heat more effectively.
Moving deeper into the phone, the 4,700mAh battery becomes visible. It offers a slightly higher capacity compared to the S23 FE’s 4,500mAh battery. Once the battery is removed, the larger vapor chamber can finally be seen. This enhanced cooling component promises better performance, especially during extended usage.
The Galaxy S24 FE received a solid repairability score of 8.5/10, mirroring the S23 FE’s score. This is due to the ease of replacing parts and overall design, though some minor concerns remain regarding screen replacement. Samsung has committed to supporting the device with parts and repairs for up to 7 years, though the self-repair service program won’t include the S24 series until the phone reaches its one-year mark.
Overall, the teardown confirms that the Galaxy S24 FE not only brings performance improvements but also offers enhanced durability and longevity. With its larger vapor chamber, updated chipset, and repair-friendly design, it’s built for both power users and those seeking a reliable device.
