Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone later this year, according to a recent tweet by the source @Tech_Reve. The device is said to be equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 processor, with no Qualcomm Snapdragon version expected.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE likely to miss Snapdragon version
The choice to utilize the Exynos 2200 processor instead of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor is believed to be a strategic move by Samsung to cut costs and maintain profitability. However, this decision may have an impact on the sales of the Galaxy S23 FE, considering the less successful performance of the Galaxy S22 series.
Other leaked specifications of the Galaxy S23 FE, shared by @Tech_Reve, reveal that the device will feature either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, operating at a speedy 6.4 Gbps. Storage options are expected to include UFS 3.1 with capacities of 128GB or 256GB.
In terms of the camera setup, the front camera is rumored to sport a 12-megapixel sensor with a pixel size of 1.12um. The main camera is said to have a whopping 50-megapixel sensor with a pixel size of 1.0um (GN3). The device is also expected to include a 3x telephoto lens with an 8-megapixel sensor and a pixel size of 1.0um (Hi-347), as well as an ultra-wide-angle camera with a 12-megapixel sensor and a pixel size of 1.12um (IMX258).
Recent reports have also shed light on the software development for the European version of the Galaxy S23 FE. Firmware testing has begun for the device, specifically for model number SM-S711B. However, no firmware has been seen yet for the US and South Korean variants.
This testing phase suggests that the device’s launch is still some time away, possibly not until early 2024. Samsung is rumored to launch highly anticipated flagship devices like Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 by the end of July.
