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

      So definitely One UI is bloated.
      Samsung need to town down this in future versions.

      Besides this everything is great,no lag & smooth performance.

Gone are the days higher wattage leading to high charging temperature. Besides, Samsung never showed proof that their batteries can retain % capacity after 3 years when using 25W charging.

          Doesn't seem much of an upgrade. 8MP telephoto? Gonna be another "upscaled" 12MP. Could've just stick with a 50+12+12mp combo. But nope. Can't make it look better than the S23+. And a hot chipset too. Can't win everything I guess.

                      It is inferior compared to S22. By far.

                      It is clear samsung just wanted to get rid of the 2022 chips left.
                      No other explanation for this .

                          In my opinion will be a great device, but S22 and S23 are much better. S23 will be the best cost benefit of 2024

                              Wow better get last year S22 series, better cameras, better build material and better screen.

                                  Bigger, a LOT heavier, yet less screen to body ratio. WTF Samsung? Did they put bricks inside the phone? Why does it have to be so heavy without any real reasons? No larger screen, no larger battery, WTF?

                                    Samsung really have made a big mistake by going for Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Not even Sony can tame its thermal despite their fanatical attention to battery life*.

                                    Since the Exynos 2200 was originally limited to the EU for the S22 series, I'm really curious to try it out and see the AMD Xclipse GPU performs. It could work wonders with console emulation apps, particularly AetherSX2.

Beside 6GB ram it has 4GB ram plus from the internal memory. The only bloatware on my all Samsung device are Samsung store, health, wear very useful for my Buds Pro2 and watch 6 and I installed by my own will for camera software: expert raw, camera assistant, galaxy enhancer. This is not bloatware.
