Samsung Galaxy S23 FE undergoes the teardown treatment

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is the latest device to get a teardown treatment from PBKreviews and we can see just how similar the latest S23 member is compared to the Galaxy S23 and S23+ phones. The teardown starts by prying off the back glass which is held in place with adhesive.

We then get a look at the internal components which are hidden below protective shields and a bunch of screws. The view is quite similar to the vanilla S23 as shown at the 2:32 mark in the video.

The battery comes with its own pull tabs which is really useful if you’re trying to replace it. One big difference is the substantial vapor chamber show at the 7:00 mark in the video which appears larger than what we’ve seen on the Galaxy S23 and S23+ phones. With that in mind, the S23 FE earned an 8.5/10 repairability score which is quite good.

ColorOS is not clunky, but its RAM Management is horrible, especially when buying a 12/16GB Ram Phone, and its derivatives (RealmeUI and ColorOS Post-13) aren't any better either. but hey, I guess that's how the OS works as some OPPO Users ...

Chinese brands have even a much bigger vapor chamber in their Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 devices 🫥 Also a phone without a proper cooling will result in overheat, no matter how efficient is the chip, just look the Z Flip 5
