Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition’ smartphone, the Galaxy S23 FE, will reportedly launch in selected markets in Q3 2023, according to SamMobile. The device will supposedly have a wider release in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024, but the exact regions are still unknown. The Galaxy S23 FE will reportedly feature the same Exynos 2200 chip and AMD-powered Xclipse 920 GPU as the Galaxy S22 series, even in the United States. This means, the S23 FE will have a nearly two-year-old processor when it debuts, which may not be ideal for performance and battery life, especially compared to Qualcomm’s high-end chipsets.
The S23 FE will supposedly sport a 50-megapixel primary camera, an upgrade from the 12-megapixel sensor used in the previous FE models. The device will come in 128GB and 256GB storage options with 8GB of RAM. It will also have a 4,500mAh battery with likely 25W fast charging support. While the Galaxy S23 FE is still months away from launch, Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5, in late July or early August.
