Samsung really is gearing up to release the Galaxy S23 FE before the end of 2023. There's no longer any doubt about that.

A new Fan Edition phone powered by Exynos and Snapdragon

The Galaxy S23 FE will be Samsung's first Fan Edition device in over a year and a half. Its predecessor, the Galaxy S21 FE, was announced and released in January 2022. However, the Galaxy S23 FE is more likely to go on sale before the end of 2023.

The Galaxy S23 FE will be powered by the Exynos 2200 chip in most markets and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in select regions such as the USA.

Sim: Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by), IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min)

Body: 76.5×158.0×8.2mm, weighs 210 gram

Battery: Built-in 4500 mAh capacity battery, support 25W charging. 

Screen: 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. 

Camera: The rear 50 megapixel main camera (supports OIS optical stabilization), 8 megapixel ultra-wide Angle and 12 megapixel telephoto lens. 

Memory: 8GB RAM, 128GB and 256GB

Sensors: Fingerprint (under display, optical), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass
Bixby natural language commands and dictation
Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified)
Samsung DeX (desktop experience support)

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will be available in four colors

The Galaxy S23 FE will be available in White, Graphite, Lavender, Olive, with the Lavender numbering being the same color used in the 2018 Galaxy S9.

The next-gen FE smartphone should look very similar to the standard Galaxy S23, except its screen bezels will likely be wider.

Pricing details remain unknown

Everyone expects Samsung to release the Galaxy S23 FE for a lower price than the base Galaxy S23 model, which went on sale earlier this year for $799 and up.
