When the pixels are damaged, thats when the green line issues occur. Its a hardware problem. But many of the users are getting it even on brand new phones, so there seems to be something lacking in the manufacturing department. This problem has been there in many brands, Samsung and OnePlus being the worst offenders. Just buy phones with extended warranty.

And sadly you cant go for IPS LCD phones, in this race to have the best displays, nobody no longer makes any good phones with IPS LCDs. We may see Micro LED take over within a few years, it's supposed to be better than Amoled from what I heard.

    Dont buy this phone. It's S21fe or a bigger S22 with a price hike for absolutely no reason. As expected, heating is horrible, not just because of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 which were popular contestants for the worst thermal control, but also because the phone has no good cooling system and the size makes it harder to control heat. Doing anything normal including browsing seems to be a herculean task because it starts heating up.

    The other day, we ran out of gas mid cooking and I suggested to browse on my phone and cook on top of it instead.

    Absolute waste of money, it's sole purpose is to deceive tech ignorant customers by selling them on the brand value.

    There are much better options for way cheaper price from OnePlus, Nothing, Google. The former 2 will be a slight downgrade in camera quality, the latter will give you one of the best photos out there in the smartphone market. The key takeaway is, just dont waste your money on this phone.

    And the battery as expected, is a sh*tshow. Even after putting multiple apps on deep sleep and turning off like 10 options in the phone, its still awful. The OS is too heavy and stuff keeps running in the background all the time.

        Exynos is a big red flag. In the long run, the Exynos powered smartphones faced display issues. Every 8 out of 10 Samsung devices is powered by Exynos facing display issues after updates. S21 series, S21FE, and S22 series facing green, and white line issues. It's a serious concern. I think people should consider this before getting an exynos powered device.

          With the price drops, this phone is almost a hit. Almost, as it misses big in 2 extremely important areas: Battery life, and storage capacity. They need to reintroduce the Micro SD slot, or at least sell and charge a fair price for at least 512GB, I'm sick of premium phones with paltry storage capacities. And the battery life is properly terrible. 8:28 combined, ouch, it's like we're living in 2015. Most phones are literally 50% better than this.

                I don't get it... Small 6.4" screen in big heavy body? Why? Today young generations have really high tolerance
                ... And no taste.

                  I got this phone 3 months ago bcos of its bigger good contrast icons, less unnecessary apps , better camera(don't want to buy a pocket size camera separately for travelling) and nice looking. I like it.

                  BUT..... it was vary hot when I using wize for the fist time just for 15min last week. I was so worried that it may burn the phone. My phone is a exynos 2200. Seem like Samsung has yet improve its processor or cooling system.

                  I still keeping my old phone nokia 5.1 plus as a second. It still good after 4 yrs except a bit loose 3.5mm jack socket and smaller icons(yes my eyes sight is not as good as it before LOL). cheers!

                    Not even worth 250 euro. Avoid and get Samsung S21 Fe instead.

May be even till 2026 for an "average" user. The only reasons to upgrade from an A52s to an S23FE would be a better camera and superior performance for the sake of gaming. Otherwise, it is not worth it. The battery life on the S23FE isn't terrible, but it isn't great either. I would say it's just about okay.

                          Samsung S23 FE ( Fan Edition ) is the best premium for less because is not too expensive but with Good chipset if you are in the US of course because it use Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 which is powerful enough.

                            I hear a lot of people complain about the battery or that it's the worst s series phone so far, any guidence to my endeavour?

                              Sam799, 28 Apr 2024S22 Plus or the base S23 might be a good option too.I'm avoiding the S22 Plus because it has the Exynos chip in my region.
                              But generally i'm avoiding any "Plus" phones because i still find it big for my hands.
                              At this stage my choices are the base Galaxy S23 which is priced at £699 and the Xiaomi 14 which is £849...both overpriced if you ask me. But this doesn't take into account any discounts and trade-in deals which is subject to what device you are trading in.

                                  Hi all, I keep seeing people complain about this phone and they forget the price point , come-on it's half the price of 23 Ultra and not far away behind , if you complain about battery life just go buy 25 watt power bank and rock with it .. what else camera has 3 optical Zoom
                                  if you want more just go pay extra money and stop comparing it with Chinese brands...

                                      Sam799, 27 Apr 2024This is by far the worst FE ever made!!I totally agree with you. I recognize I made the wrong choice. Because of the size, chipset and battery life.
                                      Because Samsung has decided to increase the sizes of their devices in the past 12-24 months I am thinking of getting a Galaxy A52s 5G or an older S20 FE 5G.
                                      Any comments or thoughts please?
