Previous reports claimed Samsung was planning to launch the Galaxy S23 Fan Edition in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, a new development reveals that the Galaxy S23 FE will launch much earlier than expected. The early arrival of the device is said to be due to the alleged lacklustre sales of the Galaxy S23 series, which debuted at the beginning of this year.

According to tipster Revengus, the sales of the Galaxy S23 lineup significantly went down this month (May). It is forecasted that its sales may decrease by more than 20 percent in the second quarter of this year as compared to what Galaxy S22 series achieved in the same period last year.

It appears that the initial wave of tech enthusiasts had already acquired the newly unveiled Galaxy S23 series by March, but it seems that it didn’t attract as much interest from other buyers afterwards. The tipster added that due to sluggish sales of the S23 lineup, it is being said that Samsung may announce the Galaxy S23 FE in some markets before it unveils the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Hence, it is likely that the S23 FE may debut around July or August this year.

According to the tipster, the Galaxy S23 FE will be an affordable version of the Galaxy S23. Since its specifications will not be too different from those of the S23, it will not take much time for Samsung to prepare and release it in the market.

Reports have revealed that the Galaxy S23 FE will have the Exynos 2200 chipset. It will have 6 GB / 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of storage. The device will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging.

The S23 FE will have a 120Hz AMOLED display on the front. On the back, the device will be equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support.
