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

04 October 2023
The new FE pairs the SD 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 chips with 8GB of RAM, while the main camera leaves behind the old 12MP sensor

    AnonD-512010, 04 Oct 2023Below 720p??Even chips like D8200 and D9000 run Genshi below 720p to sustain 60fps.
    About 680p.

    Phones with 8g2 can run it at 820p@59fps.

      2019 would be a better comparison.

        Anonymous, 04 Oct 2023Yes, the one that does nothing new. And what does so new and spectacular your chinese clone ?

Only chinese midrangers have such useless and dangerous speeds. Apple, Google Pixel, Sony, Samsung, Nothing do not exceed 45w. People are not interested in 250W because at only 25W my S23 Ultra is full in one hour and lasts two days.

            It's just A74 with different name. It's gonna be a flop, comparing to previous FE models for sure.

              Anonymous, 04 Oct 2023All bloatware can be uninstalled? Lmao you serious about th... moreif you are talking about note 3 is clear you are out of discussion. i repeeeeat: you can uninstall for good any samsung app like: samsung browser, members, music, wear, health. on my samsung s23 ultra i have from galaxy store some camera optional apps installed by my own will.

                Well, it has a cheaper starting price after all...

                  Big one

                    The Good
                    +Its a Samsung Device so it should drop in price pretty quickly.
                    +Snap 8 Gen1 performance is actually great
                    +4major OS updates at this price point are great

                    The Bad
                    -Snap 8 gen1 and not 8+gen1. Especially the Exynos 2200 if its true, is horrible choice.
                    -4500mah battery
                    -snap 8 gen1 thermal issues

                    In general this is an easy skip for most, but the Snapdragon version can be tempting at a decent price drop.

                        A chin from 2016. Nice.
                        The FE stands for "failure edition".

                          I'd like to note I find it funny that people are being like 'why is it so much heavier???' when... the S21 FE was made of plastic, this is made of metal and (I think) glass, figure it out.

                            UltraHD, 04 Oct 2023Which apps you consider bloatwares? I'm just curious.For me AppCloud, Bixby Vision, Bixby Voice, Chrome, Duo, Game Launcher, Gmail, Link to Windows, Google Messages, OneDrive, Samsung Free, Samsung Galaxy Friends, Youtube.

                            All these can only be disabled and there are a few more which can't even be disabled.

                                      This phone should be priced 1000USD minimum.

                                      Luckily, Samsung is a good guy and only sell it for just 600 USD. Very affordable price👍

                                        This is fine.

                                        But this also could've been way, way better.
