    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.

                        Bad value for the money.

                            If you use your phone for regular tasks (no hardcore gaming) & you don’t care about:
                            - Wireless Charging / Dex mode / Telephoto Zoom / 4K60 Video / IP68 (over 67) / Hardware proximity sensor (over virtual)

                            The A55 is a clear winner, battery differences are huge! + extra year of updates + slightly thinner bezels + microSD slot for my fellow game emulation lovers out there! (Samsung knew it will cannibalize sales of S23 FE & therefore chose not to release it in the US)

                            But I’ll wait until Mid-August (when the A5x prices typically drop according to price trackers) & get the White/Pink. 👌🏻 (It’s important to note how the Pink variant will run out of stock fast just like the Purple A54, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to gift this color to your mom 😁)

                                Except if you download more VAs, there's no way it could even reach 35GB on Android lmao.

                                    A55 has better cooling than the aggressive 8G1. You are trading down that extra CPU and GPU power, Dynamic AMOLED, higher brightness, the telephoto, 8K video (useless) and Samsung DeX. A55 has 12GB of RAM available, however. But still, A55 is more efficient but bulky at a price
