This is a very weak comparison and reeks of protecting A55 and high prices that Samsung is making at present. GSMarena credibility is not reinforced by reviews like this.

S23FE have DeX, better video and many other conveniences.

    ConfusedUser, 17 Apr 2024I've been using the A50s since 2019, lookin for an upg... moreWould be great to know which region you are from (since prices vary greatly) and whether you must stick to Samsung or other Chinese brands would be acceptable for you? If you plan to get the best hardware for the lowest price possible, Samsung usually ranks last as good value is never its expertise. And its lower end device like A25 still comes with super dated thick bezels while the entry models of other Chinese brands even look and feel better. If you are planning to save yet not wanting to sacrifice a whole lot on hardware, I would recommend Poco X6 Pro, it packs so much new technology and strong processing power although the cameras of the A55 should be better.

      Why such a curtailed & incomplete comparison?
      What about the Wireless Charging + Reverse Wireless Charging on the S23FE?
      IP67 (A55) v/s IP68 (S23 FE)
      DeX support on the S23 FE
      1450 nits peak brightness on the S23 FE.
      All of that is surely worth a few bucks more. The A55 is just not VFM!

          I've been using the A50s since 2019, lookin for an upgrade, can't decide if I should go for higher range like S series (years later since need to save money) or the A55. I value gaming and camera a lot. Any tips please?

            S23 FE (Snapdragon) > A55 > S23 FE (Exynos)

              Mollo, 15 Apr 2024The S23 FE also has a good battery life I changed my opinion :) A55 is much better than S23FE.

                Anonymous, 16 Apr 2024So this is why Chinese OEM's use bigger vapor chamber,... moreYou're such a genius, yes, you're right, vapor chambers increase efficiency!

                  S23 FE has a Dynamic Amoled, not Super. Dynamic offers far better quality. This alone makes the difference.

                      And A55's vapor chamber do not cover the entire motherboard. See pbkreviews disassembly.

                        S2xFE vs A series, an unlikely comparison? Well, I've been asking the same question for years.

                        FE series (which started with Note 7) is just another name for confused branding. And I know its Fan Edition, but no one particularly knows what it should mean for the phone specs.
                        We only know it stands for a cheaper S model, with randomly different cameras and chipsets, sometimes they're better, sometimes worse.

                        How is that a certain S20 FE proved to better than their A series phones, even when A series was more expensive back then? Don't ask me. Do I look like I got a clue?

                            S23 fe's CPU is a game killer !

                              Mills, 15 Apr 2024If you have these two options, I would go A55. A55 has ... moreit's no surprise that the A55 has "better cooling" because they cover the entire motherboard with sheet of copper. but still, not ideal for tropical environment. instead getting the full power of the cpu, it underclocks to hide the weakness as well.

                                brktnl, 15 Apr 2024Well, S23FE is one step forward to me. only if you use it as a feature phone.
