I have the exynos version of this and I use the battery protection feature(stops the charge at 85%) and it easily gets through the day. My usage is mainly messaging, social media and taking pictures. Dont get the hate for exynos, does it job just fine.

      If you also need good battery battery endurance, choose 13T. A54 is the best at battery endurance, but should be the least performing out of the choices.

        Samsung deserved my respect. After one ui 6 update of my s21 fe Snapdragon, not just that the battery endurance largely improved but also Geekbench result i.e. performance. It is a kind of having a new phone. Samsung has shown that it does take into consideration users' critique. Hats off.

        Here, one can see the Geekbench 6 of s21 fe single core result of 1161

          s23 fe exynos has better SoC and performance than all the generation of phones of s22 series. By light margin it is even better than improved and optimized Snapdragon 8 gen 1 of s23 fe.

          a54 is in the lower league compared to s23 fe exynos

          s23 fe exynos is also better than xiaomi 13t.

          Do not forget that Xiaomi 13t has plastic frame.

            sufficient. It was removed due to its affiliation with Cheetah Mobile, a company that has been accused of engaging in unfair business practices. Antutu is a par excellence of honesty like Ch democracy.

              Geekbench only measures the speed of the CPU, while Antutu is an all-rounder benchmark that measures the speed of the CPU, GPU and Memory of the phone.

              Naturally, Antutu is a more accurate representation of the overall capabilities of a smartphone chip.

              The Snapdragon 680 is a great example of this. On Geekbench, it scores on par with the Snapdragon 720G, but in real life use, the 680 performs much worse due to its awful Adreno 610 GPU (reused from the SD662). Antutu illustrates this difference much better than Geekbench does, with the SD720G achieving an 80-100K higher score than the SD680 overall.

                  AnonD-1130700, 12 Dec 2023Why absolutely? exynos 2200 is 14% slower than Snapdrago... moreA: You only took the lowest score advantage that the S23 has against the S23 FE (Geekbench 6 Single Core) into consideration. The real difference between these two chips is about 30-40%, as shown by Antutu 10.

                  B: The Exynos 2200 throttles HARD. What you're seeing here is only the peak performance of both chips. Sustained performance is arguably more important, and this is where the Exynos can lose up to 20% of its peak performance in repeated Antutu benchmarking because of thermal throttling, while the SD 8 Gen 2 cap keep itself within a 10% loss, so the gap between both chips grows even wider when they are pushed to their limits.

                  Please keep your bias towards Exynos out of the picture and educate yourself.

                    Is the s23 fe a good choice compare to a54 and the 13t from xiaomi ? I currently considering to switch to one of them but idk which should i get ? My region have the exynos chip and i am switching from a nokia 8. I do use the headphone jack and sd card but i can live without both considering nowdays higher end tier phone are came without both. My usage mainly focus on media consumption and ocassionally heavy gaming.

S23 fe has a much better chipset, better camera, better hardware and software optimizations. If I did not have 21 fe, I would buy s23 fe without regret. I paid almost a year ago s21 fe (6, 128) for 700 euros. If people want a good phone for the bucks, they can wait for further price drop, although I currently do not see any problems for buying it.

                                    I genuinely feel bad for people buying this phone, thinking they got a great deal for an "S23", instead they got a recycled phone from almost 2 years ago.

                                      Here's why:

                                      • Higher current: Even though the current is divided between two cells, the total current per time used for fast charging remains significantly higher than that used in classical methods.

                                      • Internal resistance: Each cell has its own internal resistance, which generates heat when current flows through it. In a dual-cell design, there are two sources of internal resistance contributing to more heat generation.

                                      • Increased charging losses: During charging, some energy is always lost as heat due to various factors like electrical resistance in the cables and connectors with overall increased temperature. These losses and temperature are typically higher in fast charging systems due to the higher current involved per time.

                                      They are not using always this marketing gimmick. They use also a more bad one to fry the battery. A higher current is used initially to quickly charge the battery to a certain level. Then, a much lower current is used to finish charging.

                                      "Overheating the battery degrades it further so if you always charge your phone to the heat, expect the expectation."

                                        MasterClass, 09 Dec 2023Why Chinese Mobile phones can be charged in 17 minutes with... moreSamsung uses a global standard for fast charging, aka USB-PD. This is the same standard used by Apple and all modern laptops for fast charging.

                                        Those Chinese OEMs use proprietary fast charging and requires their specific charger and cable to get the fastest charging speed. Plus they divide their batteries in two parts so you have parallel charging. Thus technically that 120W speed is basically just 60W, but charging two batteries in parallel.
