Me, as owner of Galaxy a 55 and Om-1 camera + 7 objects (2 zoom telephoto, 5 prime) am very dissatisfied with image quality of all mobile phones. To be honest I think mobile phones are good for Internet usage etc. but people like me prefer real cameras when taking photos or video.

      Does it have stabilization available when recording 1080p60?

        This phone should be down to 380 quid within 3 months.

            The S23 FE is a great phone. Anyone who's bashing it has never used one.

              But I'm sure you have hands on experience with your claims?

                Video recording on the A54 is really bad, with video stabilization only enabled at 1080p@30fps and grayed out beyond that.

                    one most important things for most people is "convenient"
                    snap a picture the go straight upload/share to whatever we want

                    such that, not always as straight away with real camera, beside also mean carrying extra-device which is not everyone want

                    and often those "moments" not even that important that needing captured in great quality afterall

                    if you think smartphone camera is completely trash, its your opinion and thats just fine, but saying people need real-camera to take photo is just nonsense

                      Me, as owner of Olympus camera and a bit of an avid photographer since.., say, 2010's am constantly dissatisfied with mobile photography and it's approaches to image rendering on the whole. I just can't get used to absolutely artificial and overprocessed looks of mobile photos, all of them.

                      Once a person would manually process an photo from raw, you just can't go back to that "plastic" mobile jpgs anymore.

                      Am striving to more natural looks of photos, actually. But it's barely achievable on phones, although hardware is decently good for that. Even OpenCamera, which i use does not give fully natural and professional looks, not mentioning it's ui.

                      I still love to look through all of my old photos, shot in raw maybe a decade ago, and they look marvellous even today, unlike mobile ones.

                            but those who write that their mobile phones takes good photos, have you ever used modern real cameras (Sony, Nikon, Canon or Om Systems) ?
                            you are satisfied with absolute nothingness

                                magnaroader, 31 Mar 2024Considering the flagship cameras and DEX support, I'd ... moreThe S23 FE uses the same main and Ultrawide sensors as the A54, but swaps out the 5MP Macro for an 8MP Telephoto lens.

                                The difference in picture quality between the two phones mostly depends on the better ISP in the Exynos 2200 / Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset on the FE.

                                Of course, it's better at zoom, thanks to the physical Telephoto lens, but in normal 1X shots, the A54's pictures are going to look very similar to the FE's shots, even with the ISP disadvantage.

                                One would hardly call that kind of camera setup a "flagship" one.

                                I do agree that the F5 having USB3 support is a nice addition, though.

                                  OpposedScroll75, 31 Mar 2024The S23 FE is just the A54 with a more powerful chipset and... moreConsidering the flagship cameras and DEX support, I'd hardly call S23 fe on the same level as the A55/A54.

                                    It's because of people like you that Samsung can keep making garbage value phones and still stay on top.

                                      Tiramisu, 30 Mar 2024Not worth the current price as it comes too close to the S2... moreThe S23 FE is just the A54 with a more powerful chipset and an aluminium frame.

                                      At this price point, the Xiaomi 13T is definitely the best value option.

                                        I will also add as cons the weight and the old UFS 2.1 version for the 128 GB model
