This is a fantastic device, but those bezels will take some getting used to for sure.
All those complaining about battery life need to remember that android now needs to learn your usage patterns before the battery stabilises and you get the all day battery life.

So this phone upscales the 8mp telephoto lens output to create 4K videos. Pretty nifty.
Is the telephoto lens used at all during 3x zoomed nigh video shooting? Or is it a crop from main sensor?

I bought this phone a few day's ago and it's working very well and I'll tell you why this phone it's kind of worth it, but only and just only if you find it a cheaper price tag.
My Unit : S23Fe / SM-S711B/DS with Exynos
Pros :
1. Battery it's really good, i use this phone in normal conditions, i managed to get 1 day and 17h of battery life.
(Youtube : 3hrs / Gaming : 1hr / Browsing : 2hrs and others apps about 20 minutes)
2. Display it's working well the colors and the refresh rate is ok, scrolling and videos do really look good and without stutters. (I'm saying this because my older device was an Honor and had problems with the refresh rate)
3. Sim Signal it's working very well (some user's reported that this unit loses signal bars randomly, my unit it's working great)
4. Gaming is now much more optimized and it's far more stable than it was before that's for sure, thermals are ok I've tested Genshin Impact, pretty stable, Honkai Star Rail, working, ok yes the phone gets a bit hot but also i tested an SD 8gen1 unit and the results were the same, in the end of the day really depends the game you play and optimization.
5. Phone built is good, feels premium and not fragile at all
6. Loudspeakers of S23FE are top notch they sound balanced and crisp the bass is there and well balanced also
Cons :
1. Camera, after you take a photo the Exynos variant it's kind of slow, it takes a little to process it and for me it's annoying but manageable...
2. Charging speed is slow not gonna lie to fully charge from like 17% to 100% it takes 1 hour+
3. Sim tray is not well designed when i try to put two sims inside it they fall off that's another annoying small thing, idk if it's just my unit or in general but the sims don't fit well in the tray at all
If you want to get this phone wait for a little longer the current price in EU is around 600-700 euros definitely not worth it. I managed to get an S23FE (new) with around 500 euros sealed and even this price is kind of big for these specs. Overall price/performance = 7.5 / 10

I just recently got the Samsung S23 FE, First impressions were of course the Lovely Camera and Display quality that you could zoom it to a moon and focus for a clear picture. The Price was super high, yet everyone is complaining about its battery life the draining battery was due to the upgrades as i see this phone as a improvised Samsung A32 5G. A easy fix as battery saver since as a consumer, I find it complicated to balance the Quality and Price of the Phone it gets me complicated when people have different preferences in a Phone.

never seen such hate for a phone. You are all wrong. The only drawback is its launch price. With some time it will drop down

The look and feel of this phone is absolutely amazing.
It's a great device in a price less than flagship device.

I was waiting for this phone and when it was finally released it made little sense to me. Got a second hand S21 Ultra for half me price and so far I am happy with it.

got myself the S21FE a year ago, an excellent phone but it was a huge disapointment with battery life. I was hoping that Samsung will fix it with a new phone but as it appears it the same bad battery unita again???? So if you like having an external battery with you all the time, go ahead and get this phone

safin asa, 27 Nov 2023But much better than mediatek processor and fragile curved screenThe Exynos 2200 is a flagship processor that beat the MediaTek 8100 and 8200, and the Snapdragon 8 Generation 1 is even more hot than the 2200
