Samsung Galaxy S23 FE price could start at $599
Samsung is reportedly launching its next Fan Edition smartphone sometime in September 2023. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to be equipped with Exynos 2200 processor, and its possible price revealed ahead of launch.
According to a recent report, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to come with a starting price tag of 800,000 won in South Korea. The possible cost of the upcoming FE is equivalent to $608 in the United States as of today and is likely to be available for purchase at $599.
Since the South Korean tech giant is considering using its own developed Exynos 2200 chipset, it will get succeed to maintain the overall cost. It’s going to directly benefit consumers as the Galaxy S23 FE would not see any price hike even after serious upgrades.
As a reminder, Samsung’s previously released Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy S20 FE launched at a starting price tag of $699 and $599, respectively. The company raised the pricing of S23 flagships in select markets, but it may not be the same case for the Fan Edition.
A few days back, it was rumored that the Galaxy S23 FE will get upgraded primary and selfie camera sensors. Similar to the S23 and S23 Plus, the S23 FE could use a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel selfie camera with better photography capabilities.
The Galaxy S20 FE comes with a 6.5-inch OLED display, while the Galaxy S21 FE flaunts a slightly smaller 6.4-inch OLED screen. The display part of the S23 FE may remain unchanged (6.4-inch) while we wish there will be an increment in the screen’s brightness.
Back in February, Samsung released the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra flagships. While non-Ultra models introduced a new rear panel design and meaningful upgrades, the Ultra uses a 200-megapixel camera, making it the first in Samsung’s smartphone portfolio.

In a recent GPU compute test on Geekbench 6, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored over 15,000 points, 60% higher than the GPU score (9,000 points) of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra will boast the 8 Gen 3’s “for Galaxy” variant, the GPU performance will likely be even better.
