Samsung Galaxy S23 FE review

15 November 2023


Sort by:

Would you recommend buying this phone if used for 3-5 months, for 380e?
Is it better to buy new s23fe or second hand s23, used for a year? How to check battery health on samsung phones?

    BrendonF, 07 Jun 2024From the A55 review on gsmarena. "The only real adv... moreI got 8 hours screen on time with 87 percent battery used up... 1 hour of which is on 59 mobile... The rest is on wifi... Power saver kicks in at 40 percent remaining

    Usage is mostly from browser and you tube. Second is social media and chat apps

    I would say not bad. If on wifi..

    If im out with mobile data... Staying on 4g and on light performance in a necessity... Im not one to use the power saver mode just seems like a waste of a perfectly good phone.

            pretty impressive all round, very clear camera fairly very good quality screen with Amoled X2 and nearly 1500 nitts brightness and it's very quick speed wise on anything you do or ask, I bought mine brand new from a store at $600 and I'm very pleased with my purchase, please do not try to compare to the flagship models that are $2000 plus, to me a handy little unit for nearly a quarter of the price of the Ultra's

              Spot, 04 Jun 2024A55 or the s23 fe??Meh, depends if you want camera or battery and expandable storage.

                Spot, 04 Jun 2024A55 or the s23 fe??From the A55 review on gsmarena.

                "The only real advantage the Galaxy A55 has over its higher-end sibling is battery life, which is one area where it wipes the floor with the S23 FE. However, it's hard to overlook other aspects and features - better display, faster chipset, better camera experience (has 3x telephoto too), wireless charging, as well as other neat tidbits like Samsung DeX, reverse charging, better ingress protection, etc. The Galaxy S23 FE is objectively the better phone. "

                As a S23 fe user the battery life isn't great. I get around 5 - 5.5 hours SoT when using dual Sim. But the rest of the phone is amazing. I dropped it by mistake in the swimming pool a few weeks back and it was on the floor for 50 seconds while I searched frantically for it. And it was working fine once I fished it out. I use the telephoto lens very often. Something few phones have. However if you are a heavy user then the A55 has vastly better battery life.

                  Spot, 04 Jun 2024A55 or the s23 fe??If money is not a limiting factor and you don't really pay much attention to performance, then the A55 is the better option

                      Does this S23 FE have DeX wired (via usb adapter cable) support or wireless only?

                        Not as good as the spec

                        NUMBER 1 PROBLEM : BATTERY LIFE, it looked like something suck the power dry even when you do nothing

                        NUMBER 2 PROBLEM : IT HOT, even when you play light games with minimal cg quality

                        NUMBER 3 PROBLEM : biometric finger tech is so old, u still have to touch the screen, AND IT'S NOT ACCURATE, you have to reallt put your finger on the right spot, it's a shame, losing tech to Chinese products like Xiaomi they put the biometric on the power button, and the ACCURACY IS AMAZING...

                        the price here in Indonesia is 555usd, my old xiaomi mi 10t from 3 years ago still winning, from battery life, not overheat when play game, and it's screen is wider....

                        Dissapointed in samsung 23 fe

                          Is this worth upgrading from an s21

                            Anonymous, 01 May 2024Guys need help.S23 fe will be available at almost half the ... moreThe s23 fe has really good cameras, I don't think you will find 3x optical zoom in this price range. You will also get samsung's new AI stuff and good lock, but battery life isn't good.

                              I use s20 FE and very happy with it , but planning to upgrade in this month. I like to have better camera and battery life, and my budget is about 600 euros. Which samsung do you recommend?

                                Guys need help.S23 fe will be available at almost half the price it was initially launched (grossly overpriced) in India during sale , is it a steal or are there better phones out there.
                                Priorities are camera (photo & videos), software experience, display and battery life. Not intended to game.
                                The variant is Exynos. Thanks 😊

                                  Please help me. S23 fe has a better camera or galaxy note 20 ultra?
                                  In which phone high resolution photos have a better quality? 50 Mp photos by s23 fe or 108 Mp photos by note 20 ultra?
