According to leak specialist Revegnus, @Tech_Revethe brand can now launch a model that was previously considered to be thrown out: Galaxy S23 FEa special, more affordable and less powerful version of the main cell phone family of the year.
According to the source, there are “predictions” that the Galaxy S23 FE will be released only in some marketswith certain regions receiving the device from July to August 2023 — before the company’s next foldable models, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, arrive at these locations.
