On October 4th, Samsung will introduce the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE smartphone in India. The smartphone is anticipated to include a triple-camera configuration on the back and a premium Galaxy S23-inspired appearance. Along with the Galaxy S23 FE, Samsung may also introduce the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Buds.
While the Galaxy S23 FE is anticipated to be available in two configurations— 8GB RAM + 128GB storage for 54,999 rupees and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage for 59,999 rupees—the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is priced below 40,000 rupees.
Features of the “Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
The S23 FE is no exception, since the Galaxy FE series often provides some flagship-level features at a more alluring price. This entails getting strong silicon (even if it’s a year old), a 120Hz OLED screen, a respectable-sized battery, and wireless charging.
Don’t anticipate a fancy look from Samsung’s new phone because it also draws design inspiration from the cost-effective Galaxy A series. But you do get a certain amount of firmness.
Camera
The main camera on the Galaxy S23 FE is now 12MP as opposed to the 50MP main camera on earlier FE handsets. This modification and pixel-binning ought to improve image quality in well-lit environments. We may anticipate better low-light photographs because Samsung is also promoting “Nightography” in this context. This is due the improved pictures that these new chips will produce.
Other than that, the phone’s cameras remain the same: a 12MP ultrawide and an 8MP 3x telephoto lens. In many ways, these cameras are identical to those found on the preceding FE model. Instead of the S21 FE’s 32MP camera on the front, you’ll see a 10MP selfie camera.
Display
The 6.4-inch FHD+ OLED screen has been a staple of Samsung’s FE phones for some time, and the Galaxy S23 FE follows this tradition. Expect a brand-new 120Hz refresh rate on the same 6.4-inch display.
Although it’s not the quicker and more dependable ultrasonic sensor seen on the S23 range, this under-display fingerprint sensor is of the optical variety.
Otherwise, Samsung’s FE phone comes with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. We’re pleased to see 8GB of RAM across the board, especially after starting with 6GB of memory on the S21 FE.
The new phone ships with Android 13. Samsung is also making a commendable update policy, promising four major OS updates and five years of security patches.

The Galaxy S23 FE’s design isn’t very striking, but it appears to do the job. It has a glass back with aluminium borders, some pronounced bezels, and a cutout for the rear camera.
Thanks to Samsung’s IP68 classification, your phone should be able to withstand a shallow plunge in water without damage. The phone boasts Gorilla Glass 5 on the back, according to Samsung, who subsequently added that it also offers Gorilla Glass 5 for the front.
Life of Battery and Charging Speed
Given that the S23 FE boasts a 4,500mAh battery, it reminds us of earlier Galaxy FE models when we look at its battery stats. Although it is less than the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy A series phones, it is still much more than the standard Galaxy S22 and S23 models.
Additionally, Samsung offers 25W wired charging. It will charge completely in around 90 minutes if the pace is comparable to that of the Galaxy S21 FE, which is considerably different from Xiaomi, OnePlus, and other brands. At least, wireless charging is happy to be back.
