Thanks for the review. Bought this for my dad and he has taken to it like a duck to water. It's why the FE stands for Family Edition to me. Being the tech savvy one in the family, i govern all the tech in the house, and i find that the FE range is perfect for those who want a premium tier device and don't nitpick over inconsequential things, like many in the comments section are weirdly doing (when they have no intention to buy or understand the product). After trade in and discounts, it's a no-brainer. The screen is good, it works smoothly, audio is great, photos look great, it's from a reputable brand that will support the device for years to come. Nothing to moan about all things considered.
The Exynos 2200 in S23 fe is optimized than last year S22 series well that the least samsung can do. And also next year Galaxy and Pixel will be the Smartest SMARTPHONE because the exynos and tensor are more on AI. And having a million of antutu score is more than enough if you’re just an average user.
Watching on s23fe and I also made a full fledged honest review of it in my small channel. So happy to find out you agree with all of my points that I have pointed
This phone can do 98% of what the Ultra can do. Besides the S pen and extra features with the camera, this phone can do everything a "power user" may need.
I was sceptical, but actually is a good phone. I never had a flagship phone and S23FE is a very good option for me for $599, because S23 256GB is almost $800 in my country. I have now A52 5G and this FE is maybe my next phone. Thanks for the review.
My take on Exynos: I don't mind it on a device like this. In the hate, we overexaggerate the flaws of the Exynos chip. It is a capable chip. My issue is when they release both variants - Exynos and Qualcomm. If one is clearly better than the other, then you are giving the middle finger to all your customers that are forced to buy the less capable chip. Worse of all, they often do not compensate by charging less. You pay the same, sometimes even more, for less of a smartphone.
@reziee5897 Indeed. That would be more respectful to their buyers than offering a different variant in different markets. If Samsung returns to the two variants, reviewers really should get into the habit of clearly mentioning which one they are reviewing. It is informing the buyer about what they are actually getting, and it might be enough to shame Samsung into one global variant.
@@matthewsjardine tech reviewers like to do comparison because of content. 😀 Let see what the hamming bird(former name of exynos) can do next year for their S24 I heard a lot that their chip is focusing on AI.
@reziee5897 You make an interesting point. For the most part, we carry more processing power in our pockets than most people will ever use. Purpose built hardware may be the next big step. Samsung have been replicating Google features lately. Object Eraser and Bixby Text Call are just two examples. An AI first approach could be interesting from Samsung. I guess we will have to see.
Well I was shocked when I saw that you’re using Galaxy S23 Ultra for this video. The Quality is 🌌 and btw I don’t complaint about exynos maybe because mostly our samsung devices has exynos it’s working fine not to mention my old SNote10+ exynos variant still doing fine in day to day I just don’t recommend it for heavy gaming and 3-4 years old now, my mom still using it coz of beautiful display.
Great review, thank you! Just traded in my trusty S21 fe and got this for 399 with galaxy buds. Really love the 21 fe and the only reason for upgrading is a bit better battery life and a bit better low light performance.
“People buying this phone probably aren’t focused on design too much”? Yeah, we are all grannies. Not everyone has thousands laying around for a phone, most of us just want the best bang for buck. Most of reviewers just throw it under the rug that if you are buying this, you must be poor and must not care about good things. Why not give an honest review of how it feels etc.
People probably don't care the design or the huge uneven bezel because why? Because there's a Samsung affiliated link in the description 😂😂😂😂😂 Literally an indirect ads or profit video
At $650 Canadian it's a great deal. I got my last phone specifically because I was caught up in all of the marketing for bezeless designs, and was surprised after getting my phone JUST how much I didn't care about it. An extra mm or two of bezel thickness does NOT make that much of a difference guys. Trust me. You'll stop noticing almost immediately.
I seem to have problems with pressing things on the edge of the screen especially with screen protectors. Having thicker bezels makes sense for me who have that issue.
Although I love samsung in general, but in my opinion nothing can justify this knid of thick & uneven bezels And also for a hard-core gamer who tends to play high-graphical games a lot & can't afford to replace his phone every single year, I came to conclusion that the Xiaomi 13T Pro is a way more practical choice to go with at this price point
Well, this phone isn't really designed for the hard-core gamer. It would be like saying that a Hyundai i30 or a Toyota Camry can't be used by a race car driver... which is correct, as it's not designed for them
I'm from Brazil and I wanted to know if the one you are testing with snepdragon or exino, you have to test it with Antutu and others to see the performance
os testes com antutu já tem na internet, se ele testar vai ser o mesmo número de todo mundo. A versão que ele tá usando acho que é Exynos, o cara do video mora na Suécia, lá lançaram com o exynos
I bought S23 FE same processor last Dec 30, 2023. I noticed that phone is heating up when mobile data is on and while on charging. Is battery life okay? Mine is more than 6 hours non stop from 100% to 15%
Perfect phone for my wife. She was ready to trade in her A52 5g for the A54 when she saw the s23 FE. She doesn't want or need a flagship phone, but she wants a high-quality phone. Very pleased with it.
This phone is perfectly fine except naming If this phone named A74, all problems no longer be problems 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200? Great improvement when compared to Exynos 1380 And they upgraded the screen of A54 too, great But when you named it as S23 FE, there's standards for the S series, unfortunately, this phones seems so inferior compared to S22+, which priced almost the same now
I upgraded from s10+ last year to s21fe . The S21fe has better finger print scanner. I think the s10 series has no more update support. I can use my s21fe all day. I charge at night or early in the morning. The camera is good. The main problem with S23fe is that it has no SD card slot. I will buy S23fe for my son who has a Samsung A series.
@@ciriaconlinechannel8943 That's why i want to switch, the s10 is no longer updating, plus the battery is really bad! I will see if i can get a new phone from s23 series!
I made the switch from the Samsung S10+ Because it would not charge or hold a charge.... Just got S23fe and I love it...your right the fingerprint is much better and it's a lot quicker...I hope I feel this way in a year.....
Once you notice it, you can see there's a little bit of haloing (either from oversharpening, or tone mapping, or both) that's characteristic of video from Samsung Galaxy devices.
I got mine on last Saturday and put it to work yesterday. I had an S21fe before as well. The size of it was better. This is the only thing I find as "negative" in S23 FE. The screen is too big to me, but the design I like, it is fast, the cameras work well. Bezels? - my iphone 12 pro has also massive bezels... I got mine for 620 dollars in Ghana, got a nice siliconw cover amd buds as well for free. These two items worth of 130 dollars. I am happy with this device and after IOS I feel more free and the functions, tricks, features are practical, nice. I checked other phones too, but I will never have Xiaomi again, asmy mi9 died after a year of usage. I rather buy a strong,good brand with something reliable than a Chinese brand as Techno or Infinix. They have cool designs but the cameras are weak. Vivo ditto and for this pricerange I rather choose a well known brand.
its totally normal i think on all phones, i have that with my iphone, the battery just heats up a bit cause its plugged in electricity, you can notice even the charger is hot
Since you have other devices with S pen.. could you please verify if S pen works with S23 FE ? I can't find this info anywhere. I know it works with regular S23+ even not having it by default.
I don’t like how the video demonstrated here looked so choppy. I sincerely thought it looked horrible, I was considering this phone but I don’t think it would be a good buy.
My daily routine on mobile is like this 1 on youtube watch 4 videos of 10 mintues in a day 2 instagram scoll down 3 listen song 3hours no editing app no game use so is s22 battery survive for a day.
Genuine review not like the fake one's or apple's puppies This review is really for samsung one's but the battery is literally low but I'm handling it happily
@gaovitchayut1949 I'm not a gamer. I just use phone for RUclips, Facebook, etc. The phone should handle graphics and gaming well. The chip is a more polished version of the 8 gen 1 chip.
I wanted to buy the s23 fe. Luckily, it is not available in germany until 2024. I have to admit that i m Not a Fan of the s23 fe. Its not a Fan Edition anymore. Samsung ignores their customer wishes to capitalize on the Ultra Series. I will go with the pixel 8. I dont mind exynos. I only dislike the exynos battery life
It's an alright phone, but they've marked up the price soo much. 1100aud when the moto edge 30 is a higher rater phone overall and you can get is for 700aud.
Just tried to hand held the phone today. The physical looks, especially the bezel is so ugly that I decide not to buy it. The dimension is almost identical to the S23+, but it's a shameful 6.4"! Despite all the praises by reviewers, I decide not to spend my money on an ugly phone that I'll use for few years to come. It just unbearable.
I have almost the same opinion as you. Too thick, too heavy, did not like the bezels and the shiny rear glass. Long before the S23 FE rumors started, I was looking to replace my S20 FE 5G for a Galaxy S23+. The prices here in Brazil were dropping almost to the point I was able to buy one. Then this week the S23 FE was launched and as expected, all other phones went up in price. Even if the S23 FE drops in price, I am almost convinced that the right model for me is a Galaxy S23+, not because it has a Snapdragon processor but because the S23 FE has some design choices I did not like.
I appreciate the minimalist simple design....but the thick bezel just doesn't feel right. It makes the phone feel even bigger and chunkier and a waste of its size.
Good review, but I have a question Should I upgrade from my S21 FE? I really want a better camera, but more than that, a better chipset than Snapdragon 888, because on S21 FE is a bit poorly optimized after One UI 5
I don't think this is much of an upgrade. I have the S21 FE and I am quite happy with it. What do you dislike? If you really want to upgrade look somewhere else. Xiaomi 13 and S23 are sick.
@hannes6114 Well, I made a huge mistake not buying 256GB storage because now my 128GB variant is full and runs a bit slow. Also, I have some weird display problems, it las green tint on the bezels and the camera cut-out
I have the same exact phone but mines screen looks grainy does anyone else have this issue i just got it i think its called the mura effect or something
And then there's the s21fe. Much lighter, much better price, has 3 more android updates and even has a better front glass : the gorilla glass victus Vs the gorilla glass 5 in this one. No reason to buy the s23fe at this point.
I have an A51 that's asking for retirement, specially the battery. I want something a bit faster than the A5x series but spending 1000€ on a damn S23+ it's too much when the battery will be ruined after 2 or 3 years. That's where the 23fe should come in. But either they come out really cheap or, i feel, there's no point. And btw.... those bezels. They're terrible. Can't get it why they keep doing that. The A51 is a 3yr old phone, mid level phone, and the bezels are half the thickness of the s23fe's. They're even thinner than the regular S23's!!
I have a question why can't i get the color mint in 256gb at metro or Verizon? Those are the two things i use also best buy. Is it because its sold out ir don't have it in 256gb? I haven't gotten a new phone for a while now and i just wanna do my research
3 reasons why this is wrong. 1. A series never uses a flagship chip. 2. A series never has wireless charging or powershare 3. A series never has dynamic AMOLED 2X displays
If you want good display and excellent battery life go A55, if you want S serie, go s23 for similar price as S23 FE. Or simply go S24. S23 FE lacking behind S23 in battery life. This is no go for me.
S23 fe has the same front, ultra wide, main camera as the s22 but the S23 fe gets an 8 mp telephoto camera vs 10 mp on the s22 and it's similar to the telephoto on s20 fe
I really wanted to get this but I just now noticed how insanely rounded the screen corners are. What in the name of fucc. This is halfway to just being a circle shaped phone now.
My Exynos S22U was a dumpster-diving wreck, and it was shameful of Samsung to release that. Thankfully, Samsung got punished for this incompetence and lost the billion-dollar Qualcomm contract. This shock to the system meant they cancelled the E2300 and instead did some much-needed work to improve what was a disastrous node and chip. I am glad to hear that it has been fixed, but this is not praiseworthy; this is what we should have had 18 months ago. So, although I get you are Samsung affiliated, the take here is that Samsung has fixed it, not anything inspiring. As for the S23FE, it's solid in a crowded market and just another choice for Samsung fans. It certainly would not be my first choice at the UK starting price of £599, and in any case, it isn't released here until Dec 8.
I'll never choose Apple as I can't stand that ugly notch. As for performance, how much do you need anyway? The Exynos 2200 has been tweaked and this one has a larger vapor cooling chamber. You can play Honkai star rail and other games like Genshin Impact need some optimization but everything else like COD, PUBG, and BGMI will run just fine. The bezels are a tad thicker but it is better than an ugly notch. In Jan, you'll have the Iqoo 12, Vivo, and a plethora of other Android phones. This one here? A good buy at 45k but anything more is overpriced. I'd get it for the telephoto.
Exynos has proven its worth, tried it, hated it for overheating, unstable performance, bad battery life. I dont hate exynos just for the fun of it. Samsung has been claiming they fixed the issue but haven't really did it yet. Imagine paying for premium price for a lesser device of the same unit, just isn't fair.

Despite all the praises by reviewers, I decide not to spend my money on an ugly phone that I'll use for few years to come. It just unbearable.
What did you buy?
I have almost the same opinion as you. Too thick, too heavy, did not like the bezels and the shiny rear glass. Long before the S23 FE rumors started, I was looking to replace my S20 FE 5G for a Galaxy S23+. The prices here in Brazil were dropping almost to the point I was able to buy one. Then this week the S23 FE was launched and as expected, all other phones went up in price. Even if the S23 FE drops in price, I am almost convinced that the right model for me is a Galaxy S23+, not because it has a Snapdragon processor but because the S23 FE has some design choices I did not like.
@@hjb2tube Go for S23+. It's the real flagship.
@@harry1583 S23+ of course. More costly, but worth every peny than those A54 pro.
I appreciate the minimalist simple design....but the thick bezel just doesn't feel right. It makes the phone feel even bigger and chunkier and a waste of its size.
Good review, but I have a question
Should I upgrade from my S21 FE? I really want a better camera, but more than that, a better chipset than Snapdragon 888, because on S21 FE is a bit poorly optimized after One UI 5
I never own S21 FE, but if you don't mind with the 'ugly' screen of S23 FE then i think it's worth to upgrade
I don't think this is much of an upgrade. I have the S21 FE and I am quite happy with it. What do you dislike? If you really want to upgrade look somewhere else. Xiaomi 13 and S23 are sick.
@hannes6114 Well, I made a huge mistake not buying 256GB storage because now my 128GB variant is full and runs a bit slow. Also, I have some weird display problems, it las green tint on the bezels and the camera cut-out
@@NovaBoy888 hmmm then it might be worth it
I have the same exact phone but mines screen looks grainy does anyone else have this issue i just got it i think its called the mura effect or something
And then there's the s21fe. Much lighter, much better price, has 3 more android updates and even has a better front glass : the gorilla glass victus Vs the gorilla glass 5 in this one. No reason to buy the s23fe at this point.
Better cpu as well propably and better design. Using it rn.
I'm sticking with my 21fe👍
Your screenshot of the battery time is a lot concerning....
I bought one, solid phone no regrets.
Does it have Dolby audio?
It has
Still using a s20 Fe 5g and it runs perfectly fine. No need to upgrade this year. maybe s24 fe if it had a 3x zoom camera
every phone after s20fe is just disappointed
I had this for a week and it feels really heavy and fingerprint sensor is sloppy.
Cos you used ultra before, so you don't feel the weight.... Upgrade from s21fe is painful due to its extreme weight.
How is it even an upgrade?
I have an A51 that's asking for retirement, specially the battery. I want something a bit faster than the A5x series but spending 1000€ on a damn S23+ it's too much when the battery will be ruined after 2 or 3 years. That's where the 23fe should come in. But either they come out really cheap or, i feel, there's no point. And btw.... those bezels. They're terrible. Can't get it why they keep doing that. The A51 is a 3yr old phone, mid level phone, and the bezels are half the thickness of the s23fe's. They're even thinner than the regular S23's!!
Watching on S23 FE...except weight, everything is good.👌
How is the battery life,SOT
I worried about the battery life since I owned the s21 fe and it had the worst battery life ever
I have a question why can't i get the color mint in 256gb at metro or Verizon? Those are the two things i use also best buy.
Is it because its sold out ir don't have it in 256gb? I haven't gotten a new phone for a while now and i just wanna do my research
From the look and feel to the specs passing by the model number this is totally an A74 disguised as S23FE
3 reasons why this is wrong.
1. A series never uses a flagship chip.
2. A series never has wireless charging or powershare
3. A series never has dynamic AMOLED 2X displays
No it’s not and there is no A74.
@@reziee5897 ofc there isn't, they named it s23fe instead haha
Is there an SD card slot?
nope
@@camilonieto3221 thanks
its a no. if u want with SD card slot, go for A54
is this a a 5g phone?
S22 plus or s23 fe? I enjoyed your content
Better off with the 23fe if the cooling chamber actually works good.
Go for S23 base model
Surely s22 plus or even s23.
Unless you want to use his affiliated link to buy s23fe and help Samsung to pay some of the marketing fee to him
If you want good display and excellent battery life go A55,
if you want S serie, go s23 for similar price as S23 FE. Or simply go S24.
S23 FE lacking behind S23 in battery life. This is no go for me.
I can't think of a single reason to buy this phone at this price range! So many better options out there!
O fiyat aralığında daha mantıklı cihaz nedir?
like what?
@@aldwin360Like the Xiaomi 13T Pro
@@aldwin360Some Chinese brand that gets like 2 updates and has a camera bump with 208MP AI CAMERA written on it, probably
Give us examples
I'm okay with everything except for the bazel. Why samsung? 😢
I like super amoled than the dynamic amoled
Great Phone ❤ S23 FE
So it is the same as the 21 Fe just fatter and with thicker bezels
Remember to activate Dolby Atmos
You get a far better sound......
S23 Fe vs S22 who's better cameras?
S23 fe has the same front, ultra wide, main camera as the s22 but the S23 fe gets an 8 mp telephoto camera vs 10 mp on the s22 and it's similar to the telephoto on s20 fe
S22 propably doesn't oversaturate unlike S23 FE
G'day mate, put another shrimp on the barby! 🦐🦐🔥🔥
The camera modules having that s23 looks, whilelist the screen having that A series. It looks so bad.
I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, do you or anyone else think this would be an upgrade or is my current phone still superior?
Idk how good you phone is but this phone isnt particularly great.
@@hannes6114 thanks for the feedback, I was kinda thinking the same
I really wanted to get this but I just now noticed how insanely rounded the screen corners are. What in the name of fucc. This is halfway to just being a circle shaped phone now.
Super happy with my S21 FE, tried this one at a shop, is a step backwards 😂
A step backward on the screen
Other aspect? Don't think so
Don't forget the heat and battery life 👀
The second I held it reminded me of the iPhone XR now great value phone but cannot get past the design feels cheap and tacky
Should I get it
No
Get S23
@@hannes6114 Thanks. I just need to save up a little more
My Exynos S22U was a dumpster-diving wreck, and it was shameful of Samsung to release that. Thankfully, Samsung got punished for this incompetence and lost the billion-dollar Qualcomm contract. This shock to the system meant they cancelled the E2300 and instead did some much-needed work to improve what was a disastrous node and chip.
I am glad to hear that it has been fixed, but this is not praiseworthy; this is what we should have had 18 months ago. So, although I get you are Samsung affiliated, the take here is that Samsung has fixed it, not anything inspiring.
As for the S23FE, it's solid in a crowded market and just another choice for Samsung fans. It certainly would not be my first choice at the UK starting price of £599, and in any case, it isn't released here until Dec 8.
Expensive Version of A74 ....
Good one Samsung 😂
"fan Edition" 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
A series phones do not have wireless charging, flagship chipset or dynamic amoled 2x display
I also paid 100 for this phone and also my Samsung ultra 23
I'll never choose Apple as I can't stand that ugly notch. As for performance, how much do you need anyway? The Exynos 2200 has been tweaked and this one has a larger vapor cooling chamber. You can play Honkai star rail and other games like Genshin Impact need some optimization but everything else like COD, PUBG, and BGMI will run just fine. The bezels are a tad thicker but it is better than an ugly notch. In Jan, you'll have the Iqoo 12, Vivo, and a plethora of other Android phones. This one here? A good buy at 45k but anything more is overpriced. I'd get it for the telephoto.
Yeah but you will get the green line issue in 2 years. Google it and see.
It's look like A54 and A34 and A24 and A14! What the hell Samsung
Love the host👌
Exynos has proven its worth, tried it, hated it for overheating, unstable performance, bad battery life. I dont hate exynos just for the fun of it. Samsung has been claiming they fixed the issue but haven't really did it yet. Imagine paying for premium price for a lesser device of the same unit, just isn't fair.
Overpriced version of the A54
Really hoping they fixed the 8 Gen 1 for the US model
