Quashing rumours that Samsung may not launch a Galaxy S Fan Edition (FE) model for the second consecutive year, a new report suggests that Samsung is mulling to launch the Galaxy S23 FE likely in the fourth quarter (Q4) of this year. According to a report by Sam Mobile, Samsung may ditch Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets for the S23 FE model and opt for its in-house Exynos 2200 chip in all markets, including the US.
To recall, the Galaxy S22 series was powered by the Exynos 2200 SoC in Europe and it was Samsung’s first chip with an AMD GPU and was a mess, the report added.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE specs could include a 50MP rear camera, which will be a big upgrade from its predecessor. It is known that the Galaxy Fan Edition (FE) lineup from Samsung comprises the upper-mid-range segment of smartphones.
The South Korean tech giant did not launch the Galaxy S22 FE due to the global chipset crisis in 2022, but this year, it may refresh its Galaxy FE series.
According to a previous report by a Korean publication named Daily Hankooki, the tech giant is likely to unveil the Galaxy S23 FE in August or September of 2023.
The Galaxy S23 FE will be a toned-down version of the iPhone rivalling flagship Galaxy S23 series that was launched a few days ago. However, the true competitor to the Galaxy S23 line would be the Apple iPhone 15 line, which is expected to be unveiled this fall. Depending on the pricing and specs, the Galaxy S23 FE would compete with the the OnePlus 11R which was unveiled alongside the OnePlus 11 in India.
To recall, the Galaxy S20 FE that was launched in September 2020 was the first model in the Galaxy FE series, which was followed by the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE that was launched in January 2022.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was unveiled with a near-flagship set of specs that included a 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a 2,340 x 1,080 pixels resolution, refresh rate of 120Hz and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The phone came with the company's proprietary Exynos 2100 SoC paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone ran Android 13-based OneUI custom skin.
