I got mine for 540 euro in March of 2023 for 540 euro - 256GB/8GB 5G Snapdragon version .

    But I'm not talking about S23 FE vs other S23 models but rather US vs EU price and performance of the S23 FE. For how much people trash talk Exynos it actually outperformed the Snapdragon in every benchmark while costing less and therefore leading to lower prices in Europe vs America

        Did you buy a new phone or second-hand "used" phone ??
        And when you purchased this (Month,Year) ?
        It cannot be this cheap.. At that price Redmi Note series sells

          [deleted post]Everything you say is spot on, except for the personal attacks, and one more thing:- you're commenting this on a phone which is not a good mid range phone, its a rubbish upper-mid range phone.
          You're getting chinese flagships in this price. Take a Poco F5 at far lesser cash, and perform higer.
          The Snapdragon version in this phone is also known for less stability and heating.
          Half an hour at full workload results in 46% performance.

          Its simply an inferior phone at undeserving price.

          And I'm not against the brand:- my wife owns the Snadragon 865 enabled S20FE, at around $250. A fine all rounder phone even today. Gets updated even today.
          But, S23 FE is a fail. Prices being dropped within weeks of its launch (Exynos version) is the proof of it, you know, the market talks with money..

            If you can get your hands on Xiaomi 13T/13T Pro, get that.
            The price would be lower, with better hardware (arguably)

              Damn, that's quite the difference in battery tests. Didn't expect it to be that big

                Insignificat differenceces, wouldn't stop me from purchase if I was buying this phone myself.

                    All previous experiences were bad.
                    TVs, cellphones, mp3 player, earphones.

                    TVs from LG, TCL, Sony, Philips and Panasonic are 1000x better.

                      Lucky me i buy zenfone 10, not this exynos scam. My guess the battery Will be bad and it turn out to be true, worse than the ineffcient 8 gen 1 is pretty lame. While having thick bezel and cheap looking design

                          Sam N8 808 owner, 20 Dec 2023This guy's comment got some disagree (X) reacts, some ... moreHave you seen many defend S23FE??

                          Just the fact that Samsung has the courage to release a last year Exynos as FE, is laughable at best.

                          Almost same price as base S23, worse in almost every category.

                          This is by far Samsungs bust/fail of the year.

                            I think these type of reviews are a well thought idea by gsm (phones with different chip variants that could also have different features, find x6 series as an example). Would like to see more of these comparisons.

                            Be also cool to see like a flagship from 3 years ago against latest version in the series (so when 24U comes out put it against an s21U, xiaomi mi 11 pro vs 14 pro etc) or even midrangers and same year spacing, see how older phones hold up and if mid rangers are better now or even older ones are still fully useable.

                              S23FE? More like rebranded S22FE.

                                I can't care any less about the difference between these two. It's negligible. Anyone who mocks the Exynos is a loser.

                                  ...but whatever he said is the damn truth.

                                  S23 FE is a failure. Even Snapdragon one.

                                    AWFUL

                                      Same old Samsung, ripping off European consumers as always.

                                        So the S23 FE Snapdragon model has a bigger battery than the S23 base, and has worse battery life than the S23 base.

                                        But the Exynos model somehow has even worse battery life (is it just me or is it just as bad the S22 Plus had?)

                                        And this all just for 699 euro (128gb) or 769 euro (256gb), S23 FE is really beyond poor value in EU.

                                        Meanwhile I just checked the base S23 prices, 677 for 128gb without any fancy sales, and 744 euro for 256gb also without fancy sales.

                                        And don't get me started about Pixel 8 or Motorola Edge 40 Pro.

                                        Dang, this is worse than I thought so unless the euro price drops below 450 euro, S23 FE is a terrible buy.
