Samsung Galaxy S23 FE launch, camera and processor info reportedly revealed

Published

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

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’s new 5G modem fuels satellite connectivity in Google Pixel 9 series

Pixel 9 samsung modem

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.

According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability

The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.

Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.

One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,

  • What happened?
  • [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
  • In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
  • What best describes your situation?
  • What is on fire?
  • Are there weapons involved?

Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.

Published

Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 might not get any camera upgrades. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 is expected to be equipped with dual zoom camera sensors, which will leave the next Samsung Fold in the dust.
