Samsung Galaxy S23 FE launch, camera and processor info reportedly revealed
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE smartphone may still launch for consumers despite rumors of cancellation. It was rumored that the company may use Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip to maintain cost, but it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore.
According to SamMobile sources, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will launch in the fourth quarter of 2023. Instead of going ahead with Qualcomm, the company is reportedly considering using Exynos 2200 processor in its next affordable flagship internationally.
Launch
The S23 FE could go official in the fourth quarter of this year, probably in September/October. It’s a great timeframe as it falls between the launch of the Galaxy Z5 foldables and the next year’s Galaxy S24 flagships. Notably, the vendor has released the S20 FE in September 2020.
Processor
Exynos 2200 processor is used in the Galaxy S22 series and shipped in select regions including Europe. In the rest of the world, the devices were released with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor as Samsung was about to ditch it from its flagship lineup.
The report reveals that the S23 FE would use Exynos 2200 chipset in all markets including the United States. It was the company’s first SoC, which used a custom Xclipse (AMD) GPU for competitive graphics performance, but it didn’t happen at all.
Camera
The Galaxy S23 FE may also get an upgrade in the primary camera, from a conventional 12-megapixel to a 50-megapixel sensor. The Galaxy S21 FE and S20 FE come with a 12-megapixel main camera on the rear side along with an ultrawide and a telephoto.
More on S23 FE
The next Fan Edition could get model number: SM-S711x, where the S belongs to the Galaxy S series, while the number “7” shows it’s a non-flagship tier device similar to S10 Lite (G770x) and Note 10 Lite (N770x).
Apart from this, it’s expected that the device may be available in two memory versions: 128GB and 256GB paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Moreover, it could be packed with a 4,500 mAh battery that could be rechargeable with 25-watt fast charging.

Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 devices in late July in South Korea. Since foldable phones are not as popular as regular ones, Samsung fans are eager to know about the Galaxy S24 series, specifically the camera capabilities of Ultra.
Yesterday, a reliable blog disclosed that the company is considering replacing the 3x optical zoom camera sensor with a new 5x solution. However, the latest input (via @Tech_Reve) suggests that Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will copy the S23 Ultra’s camera configuration, but with a slightly upgraded 10x.

According to the information, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra would not be equipped with a 5x telephoto camera. Meanwhile, the device uses the same 3x telephoto camera as its predecessor. The only camera upgrade is the 10x zoom sensor, which undergoes minor improvements.
It’s worth mentioning that the South Korean tech giant first debuted its dual Telephoto strategy with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It brought the same camera configuration three times in a row, and the latest rumor claims that it will be the same next year as well.
In the past, a tipster revealed that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have only three camera sensors, citing Samsung’s plan to abandon the 3x Telephoto in favor of a new sensor capable of variable zoom. The same source later claimed that the company has canceled the variable zoom camera plan.

As the new F series phone is pre-installed with Android 13-based One UI 5.1, four OS upgrades promise will keep it feature-loaded until Android 17. The F54 is scheduled for June 2023 launch in India, ensuring security patches until June 2028.
It’s worth mentioning that the Galaxy A24 is the cheapest smartphone in the Android world, which brings support for 4 major OS upgrades and five years of security patches. It’s expected that the company will further extend its software policy for flagship models next year.
