Summary
The Galaxy S23 FE is a rumored mid-range smartphone from Samsung that might launch in mid-2022. It is expected to have some of the features of the flagship Galaxy S23, such as a smooth 120Hz display, a powerful processor and a 50MP main camera. It might also come in different colors and have a lower price than the Galaxy S23. However, there is no official confirmation from Samsung yet, so we have to wait for more information.
Will Samsung launch the Galaxy S23 FE this year?
amsung is known for its flagship Galaxy S series smartphones, but it also offers a more affordable option for fans who want to enjoy some of the premium features without breaking the bank. The Galaxy S Fan Edition (FE) series was launched in 2020 with the Galaxy S20 FE, which was followed by the Galaxy S21 FE in 2021. But will Samsung launch the Galaxy S23 FE this year?
The Galaxy S FE series is usually released a few months after the main Galaxy S series, so we can expect the Galaxy S23 FE to arrive sometime in mid-2022, if Samsung follows its usual pattern. However, there is no official confirmation or announcement from Samsung yet, so we can only speculate based on rumors and leaks.
Taking a look at Samsung’s previous Fan Edition devices, it won’t be surprising if the Galaxy S23 FE takes inspiration from the recently launched vanilla Galaxy S23. But since there is no information available, there is a slight chance that the phone might wander from the design language of the latest Galaxy S series devices.
Talking of specifications, some leaks suggest that the Galaxy S23 FE will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset but others say Samsung might go with an older chipset and opt for the infamous Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which was plagued with heating and performance issues.
On the other hand, SamMobile and Maeil claimed that the upcoming phone will feature the Exynos 2200 processor, which powers the European Galaxy S22 series models. According to SamMobile, we might also see an upgraded 50MP main camera sensor instead of the 12MP shooter found on the previous models and offer up to 256GB of storage and a 4,500mAh battery.
The Galaxy S FE series is also known for its vibrant color options and sleek design. The Galaxy S20 FE came in six colors: Cloud Navy, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Red, Cloud Orange and Cloud White. The Galaxy S21 FE came in four colors: Graphite, Olive Green, Lavender and White. We can expect the Galaxy S23 FE to offer a similar range of colors to suit different tastes and preferences.
The Galaxy S FE series is aimed at fans who want to enjoy some of the best features of the Galaxy S series without paying a premium price. The Galaxy S20 FE started at $699 / £699 / AU$1,149 (for the 5G model) while the Galaxy S21 FE started at $599 / £599 / AU$999 (for the 5G model). We can expect the Galaxy S23 FE to have a similar or slightly higher price tag depending on the specifications and features it offers.
The Galaxy S23 FE is still a mystery for now, but we hope to hear more about it in the coming months. If you are a fan of Samsung and want to get a taste of its flagship features without spending too much, you might want to keep an eye on this device. We will update you with more information as soon as we get it.
