It’s already rained since Samsung’s last ‘Fan Edition’. This was the Galaxy S21 FE and despite rumors of an ‘S22’ in this class it did not arrive. Now it seems We could see the Galaxy S23 FE before the end of the yearjust a few months before the next flagship, the Galaxy S24.

We now know that for this terminal the manufacturer will bring back an old classic that has always been controversial: different processor variants. Separate, Samsung itself (unintentionally or unintentionally) released the first official image of this and other nearby devices.

You with Snapdragon, you with Exynos

In the first leaks of the Galaxy S23 FE, it was said that it would come with Exynos 2200 as the brain. It is Samsung’s own processor produced at 4 nanometers, and although it is not the best processor on the market, it has good performance in terms of GPU. Nothing in subsequent leaks suggested otherwise.

in these A version with Qualcomm is also confirmed for some regions. As we read on SamMobile, the certification records, which the brand itself has made its mark, make it clear that there will be regions where it will rely on the aforementioned Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in others.

Made with Qualcomm, this variant will arrive in the United States and China, while the remaining regions (including Europe and Latin America). We would buy the version with Exynos. So we’d go back almost two years ago when we last saw Samsung’s decision to launch the Galaxy S22 with Exynos 2200 in some regions and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in others.

It’s not like they’re bad processors. Both were aimed at the highest range at the time, but They weren’t exactly problem-free chips.. The main drawbacks include the obvious lack of CPU in Exynos or the temperature management issues of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which led Qualcomm to launch Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 1 month later, among others.

Samsung also revealed its design

If records are inevitable and we get clues from there like the previous ones, there are points that are under Samsung’s control. Also on your website. It was exactly on the official site Samsung (knowingly or unknowingly) missed the first official images of the Galaxy S23 FE and other terminals.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Samsung Galaxy Buds FE

The Korean manufacturer published a report in Argentina. landing Apart from the mobile models mentioned above, the next ‘FE’ series They also reveal the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Buds FE. So, in addition to the smartphone, we will also see tablets and headphones, and the first official appearance of all of them has already happened.

Going back to the design of the handset, we didn’t find anything we haven’t seen leaked before. And it starts with: Design mix between Galaxy A54 and Galaxy S23. Highly visible bezels on the ‘full-screen’ front with a selfie camera in the top centre, curved edges and a minimalist rear where only three lenses stand out from the body.

For now, we don’t have any confirmation on this yet. When will these products be introduced?. What seems obvious is that it must be close. Media outlets close to the manufacturer, such as SamMobile, are predicting that this could be October 4, the exact date when the company will hold its developer conference and where we will also see One UI 6.0.
