    So the battery area in reviews has no "overall score" anymore ?

        No SD card and the usual different chips for different regions, I will have to keep using my S20 FE 5G for a little longer!

          justasmile, 17 Nov 2023I hate to say that almost everyone disagrees with you.Not almost everyone, everyone does

            Blowntoaster, 17 Nov 2023Yeah. No. The s23 FE is better. The s21fe was good. The s20... moreS20 FE 5g was the one with Snapdragon 865 that actually got the highest rating/praise even from gsmarena(4.4 stars).
            Also from their review back in the day

            S20fe
            '''This one is for the fans, isn't it? But if you aren't one already, the Galaxy S20 FE may very well convert you - a Samsung flagship at the core at a friendlier price.''''

            S21FE
            ''But it's not a Fan Edition, not like the S20 FE. For a phone that's supposed to cater to the fans, ditching the charger and the microSD slot does not make sense. And it doesn't bring any substantial camera updates, not even AF for selfies or ultrawide.The Galaxy S21 FE's most notable drawback is the launch price.''

              Why wasn't the E2200 version tested? As far as I'm aware GSMArena always tested the Exynos version in the past and the E2200 inside the S23 FE performs noticeably better than it's S22 version and has better efficiency according to a Korean reviewer Bullslab

                Blowntoaster, 17 Nov 2023Yeah. No. The s23 FE is better. The s21fe was good. The s20... moreS23 FE = overpriced A74 tbh.

                  justasmile, 17 Nov 2023I hate to say that almost everyone disagrees with you.The S20 FE had a lot of problems when it was first released - certain models ended up having digitizer and touch issues. However, it was still a great phone if you didn't have an affected unit, like I did.

                              Hi GSMArena! If you're reading this, I wanted to ask you why you didn't include Xiaomi 13T as an alternative to S23 FE on review's last page. Seems like they're in similar price brackets. Perhaps you could shed light as to why 13T is a better/worse product in X category and so on. Would make things interesting!

                              Love you content btw. 😁

                                Many phones with bigger 6,5 even 6,6" screens are more compact than this.
                                I have 6,55" Mi lite 11 5g which is old phone and not flagship but have much better bezels then this.

                                  My old Xiaomi 11 lite 5G have bigger 6,55" screen but smaller dimensions and 50 grams less....to me this just look like big waiste of space and mass.
