The change of the heart:
According to a new report from a trusted source (SamMobile), the Galaxy S23 FE will be released in Q4 2023. However, there’s a surprising change – it will use the Exynos 2200 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that the Galaxy S23 series uses, and this will be the case in all regions.
The previous Fan Edition model, Galaxy S21 FE, which was launched back in 2021, used the same Snapdragon 888 chipset as the flagship Galaxy S21 line. However, if the latest rumor is true, the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE will use the 4nm Exynos 2200 chipset that was used in most of the Galaxy S22 models released last year. Some people think that the Exynos 2200 did not perform as well as expected, especially with AMD‘s GPU. This might be the reason why the Galaxy S23 series used Snapdragon chips instead.
The Exynos 2200 will be nearly two years old when the Galaxy S23 FE comes out, so it should not have the same problems as the Galaxy S22 lineup. However, Samsung needs to make sure that the Exynos chip works well, especially for the US market. People in the US are used to Snapdragon chips, while people in other countries have had issues with Exynos chips.
Galaxy S23 specs:
Now, let’s discuss some other Galaxy S23 FE features that we know. The biggest improvement may be the 50MP rear camera. The previous models, S20 FE and S21 FE, had the same 12MP rear camera as the standard S20 and S21. Since Samsung has upgraded the camera to 50-megapixel on the Galaxy S22 and S23 models, it’s likely that the S23 FE will also have this feature.
The S23 FE will be available in two storage options – 128GB and 256GB – and we expect it to have 6GB or 8GB of RAM. It will have the same 4,500 mAh battery as previous models, with 25W fast charging. Although it would be nice if Samsung added 45W charging support without raising the price.
The interesting fact:
The Galaxy S23 FE will have the model number SM-S711x, which is interesting because the SM-7xx model numbers are used for the Galaxy Z Flip. This suggests that while the S23 FE is a high-end phone, it is not considered a true flagship model by Samsung.
Conclusion:
We only share information that we trust, but some details about the new phone could still change before it’s released. We will keep you informed of any updates.
