Galaxy S23 FE joined the rumors bay when Samsung canceled the S22 FE and the premium mid-ranger A74 this year. As the firmware is under development, the company will release the device in certain European countries as an affordable choice in the Galaxy S23 series.
The smartphone could also be available in South Korea, the United States, and select Asian markets. However, the firmware was spotted for the European variant, confirming everything is at the very early stage. This input clearly fakes the rumor that surfaced yesterday speculating S23 FE release in early July.
Possible Specs
Samsung could equip the Galaxy S23 FE with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 or Exynos 2200 processor. The 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy may not be coming to Fan Edition of the Galaxy S23 as it will make it difficult for the OEM to maintain overall cost.
Similar to the Galaxy S21 FE, the S23 FE may feature a 6.4 inches Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the S21 FE and similar to standard S23 the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE is expected to come with a 50-megapixel primary camera.

According to the tipster, the display crease of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It was reported that the next foldable phone will be equipped with a new droplet hinge design to vanish the crease visibility.
Meanwhile, the “100% confirmed” leak points out it’s not changing this year. However, there is a probability of changes in the real product as the company is reportedly testing the durability of the device after applying the new hinge alongside the existing U-shaped hinge.
Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
