Samsung Galaxy S23 FE upgrades the digicam to 50MP, uses final year's flagship chipsets

Samsung skipped ahead in just 12 months – is the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE truely that tons higher than the S21 FE from remaining yr? Yes and no. There are several key enhancements specifically referring to the chipset and digital camera, but it's miles nonetheless isn’t on the level of the real S23 fashions (or maybe something like the S22 ).

Let’s deal with the elephant inside the room – the chipset. Samsung is normally quiet at the difficulty and handiest says “Advanced 4nm Processing”. We recognise that it’s an either-or scenario – you’re both getting the Snapdragon eight Gen 1 or the Exynos 2200 and it's going to rely upon where you stay. Not staggering in comparison to the 2023 phones and their “for Galaxy” chips, however nevertheless a strong upgrade over the Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 of the S21 FE.

This year the base configuration consists of 8GB of RAM, putting off the previous 6GB option. You can’t have more than 8GB, however the same is proper of the S23 and S23 . The storage is 128GB or 256GB and not using a growth slot.

With that covered, the following fundamental thing to talk about is the upgraded main digicam – it now sports a 50MP sensor, up from 12MP. This doesn’t suggest that the S23 FE is on par with the S23 or even S22 phones, however, because it nonetheless has lower resolution ultrawide (10MP, 123°) and telephoto cameras (8MP, 3x). Also, the selfie digicam inexplicably falls to 10MP resolution after generations of 32MP sensors within the FE fashions.

The show is as anticipated – a flat 6.Four” Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with FHD decision and 60-120Hz refresh rate.

The cellphone measures 158 x seventy six.Five x 8.2mm and weighs 209g. That makes it large than the S21 FE (one hundred fifty five.7 x 74.5 x 7.9mm) and quite a bit heavier at 177g. The body and internals of the phone are made out of recycled substances – pre-patron aluminum and glass, plus put up-client plastic (sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles).

In phrases of longevity, the Galaxy S23 FE follows different high-end Samsung gadgets with four OS updates and five years of security patches (word: the phone comes with Android thirteen/One UI five.1 out of the field). The smartphone is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance and you may enroll in Samsung Care for cheaper upkeep of accidental harm.

Despite being chunkier than its predecessor, this new model does not boom the battery capability, which stays at 4,500mAh, stressed charging similarly stays at 25W (0-50% is carried out in 30 minutes). Wireless charging is supported as nicely.

Pricing and availability could be confirmed rapidly.
