the South Korean giant works on Galaxy S23 FE, a high-end smartphone that would be a cheaper version of the Galaxy S23, a model that shares the top-of-the-line position with the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Its launch is expected in the second half of 2023, probably at the end of the year (between September and December).

I know what you’re thinking, why are we talking about the Galaxy S23 FE when Samsung hasn’t released the Galaxy S22 FE yet? This has a fairly simple explanation, namely that the South Korean company has decided to cancel the Galaxy S22 FE for two reasons: shortage of semiconductors and increased demand (according to the news source) for the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

There won’t be a Galaxy S22 FE, but we will see the launch of the Galaxy S23 FE, and given the data we have on the table right now, said smartphone It would only arrive to eclipse the Apple iPhone 15terminal that will be introduced between the first and second week of September this year.

What we can expect from the Galaxy S23 FE

As we expected, this terminal will be a cheaper version of the Galaxy S23. It will retain its basic design and most of its specifications, but will likely come with reducing the quality of construction yes downgrading the hardware level lower the selling price and better differentiate from it.

The Galaxy S23 is made of metal and glass, which is a finish that we can consider premium and which of course increases the cost of production and the selling price. The Galaxy S23 FE could be done in metal (aluminum chassis) and plastic in the back instead of glass. This would make it possible to reduce production costs and selling price.

At the level of specifications, everything indicates that this new smartphone will arrive with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2although some sources say that we cannot rule out that Samsung will decide to use it again SoC Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which was the highlight of the previous generation offering. We can also expect a configuration of 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage capacity.

The screen should use a dynamic AMOLED panel between 6.4 and 6.5 inches with FullHD resolution, and its price would be between 100 and 200 euros below the price of the Galaxy S23. We don’t have details on the cameras, but Samsung usually cuts this section on FE models, so we can expect a lower level of performance than the Galaxy S23.
