Samsung Malaysia has finally released the new FE set of products consisting of smartphones, tablets, and TWS categories.
First, the Galaxy S23 FE uses the original S23 as the basis and adjusts it across the board in terms of parts and capabilities.
Compared to the older S21 FE, the bezels around the display are thinner now so one might feel the screen estate is bigger now.
Blessed with a decent set of lenses for everyday photography, the S23 FE can be touted as the “S23 Lite” at this point (Although I don’t think the price makes it light).
If you’re in the circle, then you’ll know what I mean after scanning through the spec sheet:
- 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display
- 1080p Resolution
- Middle Punch Hole Notch
- 120Hz Refresh Rate
- HDR10+ Support
- Exynos 2100 Chipset (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for US)
- 8GB RAM
- Up to 256GB Storage
- Triple Rear Camera
- Main: 50MP f/1.8 with PDAF, OIS
- Telephoto: 8MP f/2.4 with PDAF, 3x Optical Zoom
- Ultra-Wide: 12MP f/2.2
- 10MP Selfie Camera
- 4,500mAh Battery
- 25W Fast Charge
- Mint, Cream, Graphite, Purple Colors
- 128GB @ RM2,999 / 256GB @ RM3,299
Next, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE family of tablets. Although there are a bunch of SKUs, it mainly boils down to the Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+ where the “plus” is just the larger screen of 12.4-inch while the standard FE runs an 10.9-inch instead.
Both models aim for the jack-of-all-trades and try to go for a balanced graph in all sorts of use cases such as home, work, entertainment, and more.
Compared to non-FE Tab S9 models, the screen is getting a downgrade from 120Hz AMOLED to 90Hz IPS LCD.
Otherwise, everything is pretty much untouched to maintain an overall similar experience (as long as you can tolerate the compromise).
And yes, it is spec check time.

Lastly, the Galaxy Buds FE – perhaps the product out of the three with the mildest changes, is simple and straightforward.
It comes with ANC and Ambient Sound that lets you control what you wanna hear while the tri-mic system powered by AI algorithm delivers your voice to the other side clearly.
With a total of 30 hours of playback power (case included), you can keep using it for a couple of days without hooking it up for charging while the ergonomic design allows comfortable and extensive wearing thanks to the included 3-size ear tips and 2-size wing tips.
The Galaxy Buds FE will run you RM399 and comes in Graphite and White colors.
