The S10 Lite was bigger but much lighter than this. The nearly 4 years older phone also had better looking bezels. Samsung was proud to showcase the S10 Lite's thin bezels in marketing photos but now have to use dark wallpapers to hide the bezels on S23 FE. The FE really stands for Fool's Edition or Fail Edition nowadays.

    Anonymous, 15 Nov 2023This score is joke. Does not deserve even 3.7. This phon... moreAgreed. I think 4.0 would be the highest score for this. 4.2 is too generous.

      $600 for these thick bezels?
      That could be acceptable back in 2018, not today.

        So weird how they named the blue color indigo, when the purple one is actually indigo.

          Europe got Exynos or? Any possibility For Gsmarena to review E2200 version?

            This phone is far worse than S22.
            Battery endurance manages to be weaker than even pixel 8.

            Obviously samsung just wants to get rid of remaining chips used last year.

                This phone looks pretty but has genuinely no meaning. It's not a Fan Edition in any sense, it is priced too high, and it is just worse compared to an S23.

                  Imma say it first, the last and only good FE was the S20 FE. I'm not even sure how this scored lower on battery usage than the S23. I might as well refer people to get the S22 (which is still on sale!) as its more bang for your buck, and does almost everything the S23 does.

                    That purple color is hideous. So is the orange. But that's just my opinion.

                      Anonymous, 15 Nov 2023If you thought the Purple was gorgeous, the Indigo is even ... moreand probably that's the best part of this phone. otherwise, it just makes no sense at this price point

                        Do you like the Tangarine (Orange) colourway?

                          Eh, its whatever for this price

                          I'd go with an S22 which offers a brighter screen, better design, better telephoto and video quality

                            This phone will be popular in December 2024 or January 2025 when the price drops

                              If you thought the Purple was gorgeous, the Indigo is even nicer, with a slightly darker purple and orange frame and camera rings.

                                This thing makes a 2-year-old-but-still-on-sale iPhone 13 look value for money.

                                  The S21 FE would have been better value than the S23 FE even if it released today

                                    Too expensive, too big, too late. Next!

                                      "Heavy weight, thick screen bezels.
                                      Unimpressive battery life.
                                      Strong GPU throttling, chipset fragmentation by regions."

                                      Besides these 3 cons, if your looking into this phone, I would consider it WITH the S22/S23 (please stop the angry comments)

                                        The new fail edition.
                                        Terrible battery life.
                                        No SD card.
                                        No audio jack.
