    mrtvak, 13 Sep 2023That only Samsung fans will buy it. No SD card = no buy from me I’m not interested in rip off cloud storage services stop copying apple ffs Samsung.

    And no I’m not getting any stupid dongle or external ssd to plug in my Samsung phone either it’s stupid.

    Considering you still support sd card on your tablets and midrange phones.

    I don’t care what anyone thinks about cloud storage as it’s a rip off. It’s all about control like apple does.as I’m still using my s20fe 5g with sd card support as I run emulator off my sd card and run the rom from it aswell. You can’t run emulators off cloud storage like an sd card.

    Also if your phone screwed and you can’t turn it back on you won’t be able to back up all your roms and emulators on cloud storage that’s overpriced bs rubbish.I refuse to buy another Samsung fe unless sd card is supported sorry Samsung your turning to apple.

    I just buy a Samsung galaxy a series phone to run my illegally downloaded roms ect from my 256GB sd card. Of course you gonna get Samsung shills defend cloud storage because they are not gamers like me.

I see no point at buying a new wireless headphones only for the phone to use. All of my other devices have headphone jack and not all have the ability for wireless. I also hate to charge stuff (I am looking at you PS4 controller). So either phone manufactures change this stupid trend or I will not buy their phones. If that is the way they want, then that is the way it shall be.

          Samsung for life, 09 Sep 2023Samsung is always premium. Premium than Chinese . It is abo... more> It is about their ui , camera , service etc . Is there any Chinese phone to compete with samsung in these .
          Well depends what do you mean with compete. UI looking? People have it's own different opinion between OneUI and... let's just say ColorOS or OxygenOS. Sure it might slower in terms of getting updates, but some people are not even updating their phone at all. Camera? Again people have it's own different opinion on this. Some people said that Xiaomi x Leica camera or Oppo/1+ x Hasselblad camera are better than Samsung, while the rest doesn't. Technically most of the problems here are just some different in terms of color tone, which is back to people's preferences.
          Is there any Chinese phone to compete with samsung in these? Well yes, so it's back to your own preferences. You can say it's good, but you can't say it's the best at anything.

              S23 FE, what is the whole point of calling it FE? What has this line up to do with fans in the first place?

                Yes, that's what Samsung wants you to believe, but knowing them, there is no way this phone will cost less than 600 usd, and around that price point you can buy brand new S22/S22+ phones as well as many non-Samsung phones that are all much better than this phone is going to be.

                This is nothing, but a cash grab, and a quick clean-out of their old chipsets.

                  As an S20 FE 5G user, I have to say that I'm very, very disappointed.
                  - Exynos oven cpu in Europe
                  - no SD card slot
                  - no 3.5mm jack jack
                  I really have to ask: What is so "Fan Edition" about this phone?
                  Fan Edition implies that it should have some feature/s that can only be found on this model. Am I missing something?
                  Either get the S23 lineup or jump boat to Sony .
                  This FE is nothing but a BAD JOKE ! A joke on Samsung customers !

                          This phone retains none of the specs from the original S23's so why call it S23? Oh yes, marketing. The earlier FE variants at least had some of the original specs.

                            It's not, as it's an older chipset and it's not power efficient.

                            "..I hope there will be multiple ways to reduce heating and increase power efficiency and I hope samsung know those"

                            There would only be one way to reduce heating, which is to not use these chipsets and Samsung knows that, they just don't care.

You have to meticulously disable them in various setting pages and disabling various apps to get rid of them. And yes, they show ads in lockscreens via those wallpaper service apps. Xiaomi is notorious in this as it places a button to enable it right on your default lock screen wallpaper, thus tricking most people to enable it.
