Galaxy S22 FE seemingly axed but Galaxy S23 FE expected in 2023

A recent report claimed that Samsung may not launch the Galaxy S22 FE (Fan Edition) this year. Now, a new report by South Korean publication The Elec claims that Samsung has stopped developing the Galaxy S22 FE. Instead of releasing the S22 FE, the company supposedly wants to sell more units of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

According to the report, Samsung has allocated the chipsets that were supposed to be used on the Galaxy S22 FE chips to the S22 Ultra in order to increase its production. The S22 Ultra has reportedly been met with strong sales amid a chipset shortage issue. The South Korean tech giant will aim at selling more units of the S22 Ultra to boost sales and profits.

Samsung had previously planned to produce 3 million units of the Galaxy S22 FE this year. While the S22 FE seems to have been axed, the report claims that the Galaxy S23 FE will debut next year. It even mentions that the company plans to produce 3 million units of the S23 FE.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is Samsung’s first Galaxy S-series phone to feature a built-in stylus. The annual shipments of the Galaxy S-series have been declining for the past two years. However, the company has sold 10 million units of the S22 Ultra in the first half of 2022 and it expects to ship the same number of units in the second half of the year. The S22 Ultra is driving the sales of the S22 lineup. Hence, it appears that the company is reassigning S22 FE chips to S22 Ultra.

When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S20 FE in 2020, it said that it would be launching FE variants every year. While the S22 FE seems to be cancelled, it appears that it will bring back the FE model next year by launching the Galaxy S23 FE.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Realme GT 2 Master Explorer: Specs Comparison

Realme launched a brand new premium flagship in the Chinese market: the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition. It came alone, without other variants, if we exclude the various color options and memory configurations. But despite being a more recent flagship, a lot of people noticed that it has a few downgrades if compared to the previous flagship Realme GT 2 Pro. That is the reason why, even though it is fueled by a stronger processor, a lot of people are wondering which of these two devices is the real top-tier flagship from the brand and which provides the highest value for money. This comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will let you find out.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES 5G, dual SIM 5G, dual SIM

Design

If we consider the design, these two devices are very innovative. The Paper Green and the Paper White color variants of the Realme GT 2 Pro are built with a special bio-polymer that resembles the touch and feel of the paper. You can even draw with a pencil on the back cover and erase everything with a rubber, just like you do with a piece of paper. But despite this amazing solution, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is even more interesting. It comes with a leather back and a metal frame reminding of a travel trunk, it sports flat borders and one of the highest screen to body ratios ever seen on a phone, with the display covering more than 90 percent of the front panel. Which one do you prefer?

 

 

Display

One of the downgrades of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is the display: it has an OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The display of the Realme GT 2 Pro has the same specifications with the exception of the resolution: on this device, it is higher. We are talking about a Quad HD+ resolution providing a higher level of detail. But that is not all: the Realme GT 2 Pro adds the LTPO 2.0 technology (adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz) lowering the energy consumption and it is able to show up to one billion colors. Last but not least, the display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and the phone is splash resistant. Both the handsets sport stereo speakers but they have no 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Specs & Software

The hardware department of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is actually superior to the one found on the Realme GT 2 Pro for a simple reason: the processor. It is powered by the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform: a chipset built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 power core running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 cores running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. It is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Realme GT 2 Pro, providing better CPU performance thanks to a higher clock frequency. The best memory configuration of the Realme GT 2 Pro sports 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage, while the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition stops at 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The handsets run Android 12 customized by Realme UI 3.0, they will get three years of major Android updates and four years of security patches.

 

Camera

The rear camera departments of these two devices are not very different. They both come with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, but the third camera is different. On the Realme GT 2 Pro, you get a 3 MP microscope sensor with 40x magnification, while the Master Explorer Edition has just a 2 MP macro camera. The Pro variant wins even when it comes to the front camera, with a 32 MP sensor instead of a 16 MP one.

 

Battery

These phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. You should expect only marginal differences in terms of battery life, but the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is able to charge quicker thanks to 100W fast charging.

 

Price

The starting price of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition in the Chinese market roughly translates into €560 or $560, while you need €699 or $699 to purchase the Realme GT 2 Pro. The Pro variant is very interesting due to its better display and front camera, but the Master Explorer Edition has a superior chipset and faster charging speeds. Which one would you pick?
