The A54 (or any other A series phone) is only popular because it's cheap lol
The S23 fe is a fraud that's not a "winner" in any way. The only reason this gigantic bezel eyesore exists is so Samsung can get rid of their excess crappy Exynos 2200 chips they have left over from 2 years ago

Ivanm, 25 Dec 2023Samsung i carring about battety safety. Slower charging is ... morenot heard of any other brands having issues for years with faster charging ? but its ok for samsung to ask for an premuim price but hardly making progress in that aspect while also ditching suppling charger, they'll have to start increasing charging speed they cant stay on 5000mah battery forever now few already offering higher such as Oneplus 12 5400mah

Ivanm, 25 Dec 2023Samsung i carring about battety safety. Slower charging is ... moreNote 7 issue was internal design. Not battery itself.
Lack of proper space around battery.
Battery is metal, metal increases size when hot.
There was no space enough.

Anonymous, 25 Dec 2023„However, there's a growing sentiment that Samsung is ... moreSure, but look at the stale camera hardware for example. The S24 Ultra could've had a larger 12MP selfie camera or even a larger 50MP selfie camera. It could've had a larger 50MP ultrawide and a larger 50MP 3× periscope-style telephoto alongside the 50MP 5× periscope-style telephoto that is confirmed to be coming. The main camera could've been larger, jam-packed with new technologies that Samsung has like staggered HDR, but no, they are barely changing anything at all. The damage is done, and unless Samsung innovate again, like maybe introducing rollables and having much better cameras across the board for their products to put a dent against the competition, they will be done for within the next 5 years. I live in London, and I see so many people use Google Pixels now, just like I've always seen so many that use Apple iPhones (most of whom are iPhone 12 users). Samsung should be worried when they are complacent like this, as they could significantly lose market share and even go the way of BlackBerry or Nokia.

AnonD-986504, 25 Dec 2023How are the A54 and S23FE winners and S23 flagships losers?... moreThe standard s series looks bland like the old galaxy s4 did. They need ultra design to stand out. Every phone manufacturer does those rounded corners now. Only reason i would ever buy a galaxy s23/24+ is if i couldn't afford the ultra. The design is old now even the ultras but the ultra still looks fresh. So many years the innovation has gone stale.

AnonD-986504, 25 Dec 2023How are the A54 and S23FE winners and S23 flagships losers?... moreSamsungs best selling phone A14 wasn’t even mentioned. Could have taken the space in the article occupied by the S23 FE that nobody cares about anyway, and/or replace the foldables together with adding A04s. Those are Samsungs important phones, not a niche-pried S23 FE or niche form-factor folding phones.

How are the A54 and S23FE winners and S23 flagships losers?! It is quite the opposite.

Really strange article. The S23 and S23+ were a notable improvement over the S22/22+ due to the new chipset and battery.

„However, there's a growing sentiment that Samsung is holding back on innovation and is playing it too safe with its devices.“
Honestly, no. I prefer the good all-rounder Samsung phones of now to the useless gimmicks like the air hover software stuff from the Galaxy S4 for example. Only thing I would actually want from a brand like Samsung is a way to bring back removable batteries in metal+glass phones (something along the lines of the magnetically attached front glass of iMac 2010 for example), and of course smaller phones but that honestly seems even more unlikely. But their phones now seem to be relatively reliable, they are not Chinese and their unique selling point is the very long software support (although some comparatively more niche brands like Google or OnePlus seem to catch up at least on the higher end, not in the mid/low end). In the S4 era, it was the other way round, short software support with updates that came late and packed with gimmicks but it sold so it was right at the time, which wouldn‘t be right in a phone market that isn’t growing anymore but is saturated and people keeping phones longer.

S23FE should be a loser, and the S23 is a winner - base S23 improved in all aspects over it's predecessors that it is one of the best phones out there. S23FE is a joke compared to S23. GSMArena had to pick a loser, otherwise it will look sponsored by Samsung.

I'm sorry, but S23 FE isn't a winner. Firstly it's too fresh and chipset / battery life is pafhetic.

Ivanm, 25 Dec 2023Samsung i carring about battety safety. Slower charging is ... moreHard to forget a phone that never existed.
It was the Note 7, which had 15W charging, and first of all, newer Samsung phones do charge faster, second of all the Note 7's issue was Samsung's battery supplier and then Samsung not checking whether those batteries are good for their phones, or not, they weren't, they were slightly too big, those explosions had nothing to do with "fast charging".
Samsung is keeping their slow charging because they made enough people believe that anything faster than 45W would be dangerous, and because Apple is also keeping their charging on the slow side, so nobody is really pushing Samsung to innovate on that front.

Well, I wouldn't call the S23 FE a winner, as of right now it's around 800 usd equivalent in my country. The S23 is literally cheaper everywhere, but if you look around you can get an S23+ as well, maybe even an Ultra for this price.
