The S23 FE may run Android 13-based One UI 5.1 out of the box. The rear camera setup may be dominated by a 50MP primary sensor with support for OIS, coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 12MP telephoto sensor. For selfies, there may be a 10MP front-facing camera.
The Galaxy S23 FE will be a successor to the Galaxy S21 FE that was launched two years back. Samsung had skipped the launch of the Galaxy S22 FE edition due to the global chipset crisis.
E-commerce site Amazon India has also revealed the date of launch of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. The tablet is set to be unveiled on 5 October, a day after Galaxy S23 FE’s launch.
