    GregLu, 04 Oct 2023Does Buds FE (or the case) have Wireless Charging too ? 🌱No

      G3MR2906, 04 Oct 2023Can't comment on the audio quality, but on the fit, it... moreIt appear that the case doesn't have Wireless charging, considering that Buds2 have them for just 5-10 EUR more, the price point is not optimal.
      Still have some Buds+ that I use only in my home where I don't need ANC or very good sound, I still prefer them in my ear instead of Buds Pro / Buds 2 Pro, that I own too. The wing tip are better, but it's a matter of taste. Was hoping to have an improvement on Buds+ sound that seems 'tiny' in comparison.

        Does Buds FE (or the case) have Wireless Charging too ? 🌱

          Where are the American prices? What about the price for the Buds FE?

          Anyways, this is a tough sell over an iPad. I'm not sure how good the stylus will be with the Exynos 1380. Although the storage situation is much better than Apple: 128/256GB with MicroSD vs 64/256GB with a 2000% markup and even more for some people that need 128GB but not 256GB.

            Even the Olde 2nd hand Galaxy Tab S7 with Snapdragon 865 or even the S6 with SD 855, trashes HARD that Exycrap.

              These prices are okay for what's on offer. I prefer smaller tablets so none of this is for me.

                Samsung is using its Exynos 1380 chipset paired with 6/8 GB RAM on the Tab S9 FE and 8/12 GB on the FE+ model. Storage is either 128 GB or 256 GB on both versions and you can expand it via the microSD card slot.


                Oh right but you can’t add external storage on s23fe phone = here at Samsung like apple we are selling a overpriced phone with less features like the sd card on the s20fe model we are forcing you to use overpriced cloud storage services instead. Yeah no thanks Samsung your just like apple now.

                    Anon, 04 Oct 2023If that happens then that proves samsung is just half assin... moreI really couldn't agree more. That is why I still highly rate the LG Velvet 5G as my top favourite midrange-tier phone today despite being a 2020 smartphone. The fact that LG can give active stylus support and USB3 with wired video output and Screen+ Desktop Mode on what is basically a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy A51/A71 shows how much Samsung doesn't want to disrupt the Galaxy S sales for general consumers. Not everyone needs a crazy, if not overkill, flagship-grade SoC as long as they have all the hardware features they want.

                    P.S. I also love the fact that you can use the detachable Dual Screen case on the Velvet 5G, but that's another story for another day.

                      I don't think I understand this move... So basically you can get Tab S8+ which has every single component better than this FE version and basically pay the same money? Where is the logic here...

                        Remember people were laughing at Snap870 of Xiaomi Pad 6 at 399.

                        Check Samsung's Tab S9FE Exynos 1380 at almost double the price now....

                            DOAofficial, 04 Oct 2023Exynos = Instant DOADBA, dead before arival. If one can live with worse software and lack of expandable storage, the Xiaomi Pad 6 is worth considering.

                              People are obsessed with (AM)OLED techs.. There is original S9 models with all OLED lineups for taking. Don't know why they don't tolerate the existence of IPS LED things. One day they want OLED Shoes, OLED Hairs, OLED eyes, OLED babies, etc. 😂

                                So the important question: Buds FE or Sony C700N?

                                  Love these devices, it's a whole new ecosystem when you want to upgrade every old device you have!

                                    Exynos 1380 is more or less same performance as SD778g found in previous Tab S7 FE (Wifi version), that is if dont throttle.

                                    Performance wise its same or could be higher or even lower from previous generation, unless they Overclock that Exynos or have better heat management.

                                    Aside from that, it doesnt have lot of upgrade other than IP rating and different Display sizes.
