samsung would not have completely abandoned their mobiles Fan Editionand would be about to bring them back by the hand of the Galaxy S23 FE. New rumors suggest that the smartphone could see the light of day very soon, adding to the current catalog of flagships of the South Korean brand.
According to the reputed leaker Yogesh Brar, Samsung would launch the Galaxy S23 FE in September. If confirmed, we will not have to wait too long to see what this new device is up to. But the most interesting thing is that, if it appears on the scene, it will mark the return of this type of model after the cancellation of the Galaxy S22 FE.
Let’s not forget that the last exponent of this line of smartphones was the Galaxy S21 FE, which was launched at the beginning of 2022. This model received very good reviews, and everything seemed in place for Samsung to maintain its strategy and launch a derivative of the line. Galaxy S22. However, this ultimately did not happen due to supply chain problems caused by a shortage of chips.
Now, having appeased the lack of semiconductors, everything would be in place for the Koreans to return to the ring with the Galaxy S23 FE. And if Brar’s information is accurate, we will find a model in which Samsung will repeat an already known formulawith somewhat striking nuances.
Galaxy S23 FE: its possible features (and an unusual chip)
According to the aforementioned leaker, the Galaxy S23 FE will arrive with a Dynamic AMOLED screen of 6.4 inches with Full HD + resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. If so, it would be exactly the same panel that we saw last year on the Galaxy S21 FE. In terms of size, meanwhile, it would be somewhere between 6.1” for the Galaxy S23 and 6.6” for the Galaxy S23+.
Another component that I would repeat from the Galaxy S21 FE would be the battery, since it would again be 4,500mAh and with support for fast charging up to 25 watts. It is not specified if the Galaxy S23 FE will arrive with a charger in the box; although it’s likely not, considering Samsung chose not to do it on the previous model. The new fact is that the new model would it be compatible with wireless chargingalthough it is not mentioned to what power.
The most curious point of the supposed table of specifications of the Galaxy S23 FE is in its processor. Yogesh Brar indicates that Samsung would choose to equip the smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 either a Exynos 2200, depending on the market. What is striking is that both SoCs have shown lousy performance in the mobiles that have implemented them.
In fact, Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 less than half a year after the original chip due to its performance issues. performance. But that was not all, since the manufacture of the new component changed hands and went from Samsung to TSMC. If this rumor holds up, it will be a very strange bet on the part of the South Koreans.
A big improvement in cameras
Where the Galaxy S23 FE would take a monumental leap, it would be in the camera section. Apparently, the mobile would incorporate a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization. The secondary would be 8-megapixel, while it would also feature a 12-megapixel telephoto.
This would represent a great evolution compared to the configuration of the S21 FE, which came with two sensors of 12 MP each – wide angle and ultra wide angle, respectively – and an 8 MP telephoto. On the front, for its part, the new Samsung mobile would take a step back with the inclusion of a camera selfies of only 10 megapixels, against the 32 megapixels of the previous model.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the software section. To no one’s surprise, Samsung would endow the Galaxy S23 FE with One UI 5.1the customization layer that runs on Android 13. We’ll see if this data is confirmed in the coming weeks, with the supposed return of the Korean brand to its mobiles Fan Edition.
