Samsung Galaxy S23 FE could be real and imminent
In This Article
Samsung has seemingly confirmed it will launch aGalaxy S23 FE (Fan Edition), with an announcement possibly coming a little sooner than anyone thought.
While all of today’s focus was on theGalaxy Z Flip 5andGalaxy Z Fold 5, a Samsung executive today told reporters a Galaxy S23 FE might be imminent.

The company skipped the scaled back flagship for the Galaxy S22 range with a launch reportedly cancelled due to the success of the mainGalaxy S22 Ultraphone. Many thought that might be the end for the Fan Edition range.
However, when asked about the “FE-sized gap between the Galaxy A54 5G and Galaxy S23” byAndroid Authority, Samsung South Africa VP of mobile Justin Hume left little to the imagination.
“There is an FE-sized gap in there, right now,” Hume said. “There is going to be an announcement made. Imminently.”
The comments come amid growing evidence Samsung may bring the range – which was last seen in the form of a Galaxy S21 FE that launched far too close to the Galaxy S22 – back to prominence with an updated 2023 version.
The purported device has already appeared in certification documents in both Korea and China. There were also leaked renders last month, showing a design quite similar to theGalaxy S23, albeit with specs more in line with previous generations.
Reports have mentioned a phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while there’ll be 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Leaks have also got us expecting a triple camera on the rear, headlined by a 50-megapixel main camera.
The previous version of the device, theGalaxy S21 FE, received a four-star reviewfrom us back in January 2022. We praised the complete package, bright and colourful screen, IP rating, and option to wirelessly charge the handset.
