I ordered it, just love it. Got the purple one, live the weighty quality myself, feels top notch.
Camera and all is amazing, so happy as that means most to me. Dont game so battery is awesome and fast charging and wifi charging.
Thrilled and got a discount❤

Will probably upgrade to the original S23 from my S20FE. I wish the S23 had more storage options, though. 128GB shouldn't exist on any phone, more than $500. The minimum should be 256GB.

[chickenandshrimp]

Why wouldn't you get the 256GB? That's a no-brainer. The phone works great. There is no battery drain on the phone.
The battery lasts 2 days easy. The processor is equivalent to the Tensor 3. The Pixel 7a and 7pro battery life suck. The 8gen 1 has been well optimized. I have the one plus 11 and the 7pro. I haven't touched them since using the S23 fe.

Having own the S20FE 5G that I got discounted £100 UK back in 2020, that was the perfect balance value and performance. I used it in dual sim mode, so backed up photos and data to a USB memory stick or Samsung T7 SSD drive. So I was used to not using or having the microSD slot. I am not a fan of the cloud!
I agree with you about the processor. The S20FE was on a par with the rest of the S20 series, plus in Exynos regions, the Snapdragon version was more powerful than the Exynos S20s including the S20 Ultra! Now this S23FE is a generation behind. To make it worse the Exynos regions will get the 2200, that was already behind the Snapdragon 8 gen 1! That is effectively 2.5 steps back. Another problem here in the UK, is the S23FE won't be on sale until December. Samsung will need to have special discounts for it to work, especially when the S24 series is coming and the S23 series is already being discounted by some sellers.
I also own the S23 Ultra, so won't be getting the S23FE anyway. The only things going for the S23FE is the 4 years of updates, features for the S series and the cameras having a true telephoto lens. Let us see if it sells well.

I have this device, got it for $350 tax in CDN with trade in from Samsung with free Buds FE (which I sold for $80). One item to mention is how heavy this device is at 209g. Coming from an S10 which weighed considerably less.

[johnslugger]

ATT has them for $180.00 at $5 per month (3 years). Month of Dec. special 2023

Im currently using the galaxy a51 but I dont know how much longer my a51 device will be supported so I was thinking about upgrading to this s23 fe but yeah I do agree I want to wait till the price drops.

[TWCAlex]

I'm tempted to say that the A54 5G is the better phone, especially given the lower price & feature set. Not crazy about this one only having a 4500 mah battery while even the A14 5G has a 5000 mah battery :/

[madmann]

Samsung should really consider narrowing their portfolio of devices considering their crazy software support schedule now. A, M, S and FE series not to mention their tablets and watches. 😂

[riboiman]

Sticking with my good ol' S10+. Snapdragon 855 is still plenty and it has the now removed features like the headphone jack and Micro SD card slot. Great phone even now despite being on Android 12 One UI 4.1!

S20FE>S23FE the specs aren't that much better with no Micro SD card slot. S20FE Unlocked $200 While the S23FE is over $500.

You know, for the price, that 8th g1 snapdragon blew away the modern google pixel phones. Soo, that.

[waynewyatt]

I don't get some of tech heads, ... Y not give suggestions for the every day consumer... I got this phone for 50 with a port that's a incredible price for this phone ...with security updates updates in general are mandatory in 2024 with banking apps and so on

[johnslugger]

*FE (fan edition) has a secret meaning. 'NEED TO DUMP THEM AT ANY PRICE FAST!'

[Tylshel]

People buy this phone on deals. It doesn't sell on retail price. I think its better than pixel. But I wonder if it's worth extra $$ for Samsung plus?

[RatedM]

You think this is worth it for $617 CAD? ($450 USD)

[davidjefferson]

the only problem i had with this phone is overheating but i fixed tht issue by deleting some games and unnecessary app

[pneuma]

Ive owned the phone for 3 months. I work construction and the phone is great BUT idk what thia guy was talking about cuz in direct sunlight this phones screen is hard asf to see. Also the battery is pretty shitty. Everything else is 10/10. Its a more than capable phone thats for sure. Just DO NOT buy it at full price, then it isnt worth it imo theres better options out there for $600 BUT if you can get the phone for under $300 like i did then it is totally worth it!!
