Trash processor means trash battery. Wonder if the Exynos version is even worse...

    You are wrong, every version of S23 has better battery life than S23 FE.

      In usa now 400 USD. This is best price quality deal because you got snapdragon and 4 years major updates and perfect cameras pack. No Brainer.

        So it offers the Exynos 2200 of the S22 series (Im in europe though). That's not by far the worst processor, but I would always go for a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 or higher if possible. Also it drops down 2 Generations of gorllia Glass (5 instead of Victus (7)). It's also bigger (6,4" instead of 6,1") looking worse at the same resolution. The 23FE is also much heavier. It has a brighter display though. Cameras should be much the same as in an S22, sharing most (but not all) of the specs.

        What it comes down to is Samsung trying to trick you into buying S22 hardware at a way too high price. The Battery is the only really big plus in the S23FE, but imho you still shouldnt buy it!

        The Phone is 700€ over here, the S22 is 500€!
        Go for the S22 or even better: another phone.

        for 700€ you also get: S23 (better overall, but much worse battery), Pixel 7 pro, nothing phone (2), iPhone 14, Xiaomi 14(!), Vivo X100, etc...

          Thick bezels and exynos processor are big cons.

I don’t prefer samsung over likes of pixel/nothing for ui, but xiaomi is just out of league unless you only want the phone for gaming.

              Anonymous, 19 Nov 2023Now this is definitely not true. I personally prefer MIUI ... morei agree,..but miui still has the classic control centre

                And as for build quality ,xiaomi definitely has a better build quality when it comes to midrangers and flagship killers
                In their flagships,Samsung and xiaomi tie in build quality

                  Balto, 18 Nov 2023Is it worth moving from the S20 FE to S23 FE? I always seem... moreIf you have the sd 865 version then better go for s23/s23plus… price will drop after s24 series launch

                    Anonymous, 18 Nov 2023I hope you're being sarcastic. Xiaomi has never been a... moreI agree about MIUI still not a match for OneUI but its highly debatable about worse build quality. Hold both Redmi Note 12 and Samsung A24 you will realise the Redmi feels more solid and like a more expensive phone.

                      Balto, 18 Nov 2023Is it worth moving from the S20 FE to S23 FE? I always seem... moreMight as well add a little budget and get the S23 instead. If you must get the S23 FE, there will be more discounts in Xmas season.

                        KaToX, 19 Nov 2023Why are they selling without chargers? How is one supposed ... moreAppreciate the cable they put in the box now bcos they are removing the cable too in the next few years.

                          Why are they selling without chargers? How is one supposed to charge their Samsung cell phone? I always prefer Xiaomi, but for those who use Samsung...too bad...

                            Galaxy S23 FE is cheap and a very good phone.

                              Flop, 17 Nov 2023Why wasn't the E2200 version tested? As far as I'... moreSnapDragon is better and it's the version people will most likely have.

                                Is it worth moving from the S20 FE to S23 FE? I always seem to find specs very similar or even better in my old phone.
