Design
Design-wise, the Galaxy S23 FE looks a lot similar to the Galaxy S23 Plus, thanks to a larger display than the vanilla S23. The bezels are clearly visible but the thickness is way too less, making it look as premium as the original Galaxy S23 smartphone.
The rear panel consists of three camera sensors without any island while there’s an LED flash near the top camera sensor. The left side remains empty as always and the company will continue the conventional strategy of bringing the side key and volume rockers to the right side.
Display & Camera
Galaxy S20 FE has a 6.5″ display, while the Galaxy S21 FE comes with a slightly smaller 6.4″ OLED panel. We guess the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone may equip a 6.4″ AMOLED display, to unlock another option for consumers who skipped the 6.1″ S23 and 6.6″ S23 Plus.
The display has a tiny cutout for the possible 32MP selfie camera, which Samsung calls the Infinity-O design. Since the under-display camera technology is not mature, the company keeping it exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold smartphones.
Hardware

Galaxy S23 FE’s other features may include a 5000mAh battery, 25W fast charging, IP68 rating, and wireless charging + power share, as well as software support will be the same as the S23 series. There will be at least two storage options including 8GB RAM plus 128GB and 256GB of internal storage.
Samsung’s Fan Edition(s)
Back in September 2020, Samsung debuted the first Fan Edition – the Galaxy S20 FE. The device features Galaxy S20 series-like hardware and great design. In early 2022, the company expanded the lineup with the addition of the Galaxy S21 FE, which didn’t gain much popularity due to its high price.
Note: Samsung has canceled the A74 and S22 FE due to the market downturn.
