Samsung’s release schedule for the FE series of phones is rather erratic – but this time around, Samsung even released the Galaxy Tab S9 FE alongside the Galaxy Buds FE. Now we have a full family of FE devices too – but we’re only talking about the Galaxy S23 FE here.
Here’s a quick ASMR unboxing for you guys to watch.
We got the white version here and through our brief time with this device… there are a few interesting things that I discovered.
So here’s a quick rundown on the specs for our unit –
- 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Exynos 2200 chipset
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB storage (available in 128GB too)
- 4,500mAh battery
- 25W fast charging
I’m not someone who judges a phone solely on its specs, but I do judge them based on the gaming performance. So, I immediately did a gaming test the day after I got the phone.
Keep in mind that we did get a brand new software update after we did this gaming test.
Considering that the Exynos 2200 is a flagship chipset from last year, it is surprisingly similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in terms of performance and temperature. However, I did realize a few weird things going on. First, the game kept crashing for no reason.
The problem eventually went away but it did crash once more before we actually did the gaming test.
Now, we did get a brand new software update that “improves stability” and we’ll continue monitoring the device if any random crashes happen while we’re playing a game.
Other than that, the phone is actually decent enough to earn the name of FE. It’s a more watered down of the flagship S series of smartphones. We still have triple cameras – and all of them serve their own different focal lengths too. I’m rather pleased that Samsung still fits in a 3x optical zoom into this phone.
We’ll have our full camera picture samples in our full review – so stay tuned for that.
The overall aesthetic of the phone is clean and simple – and to my surprise, there is no IMEI number visible on the phone itself.
Oh – by the way, the Galaxy S23 FE does not have a microSD card slot or an audio jack – which is in line with their flagship S series smartphones too.
And if you’re interested in getting one for yourself, then here are the links.
I highly recommend the 256GB version since it’s very easy to fill up 128GB nowadays. A few games, videos, and photos – and that 128GB is gone.
While many people are saying that the price of the S23 FE is too high – Samsung is already offering a RM300 instant rebate right now. Yes, a brand new phone and you’re already getting RM300 rebate. Check out those deals right now.
