The Fan Edition (FE) lineup from Samsung provides many flagship features that users typically expect, while making a few necessary sacrifices to offer these devices at lower price points. However, Samsung has also included some upgrades with their latest handset. The Galaxy S23 FE boasts a larger 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, slightly smaller than the S23 Plus (6.6 inches). In addition, the FE version has a larger battery capacity of 4,500 mAh compared to the regular S23’s 3,900 mAh.

Despite these slight downgrades, the Galaxy S23 FE includes all the essential features found in flagship devices. It comes equipped with a 50-megapixel wide-angle camera, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. On the front, there is a 10-megapixel module. For comparison, the non-FE version of the S23 has a 10-megapixel telephoto camera and a 12-megapixel front camera.

The device also offers support for fast wireless charging, wireless powersharing, and fast wired charging. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G. Users can enjoy the Samsung Knox security platform along with the Knox Vault, an IP68 water-resistant build, and Android 13 out of the box.

The Galaxy S23 FE will be available in purple, graphite, cream, mint, tangerine, and indigo colors, and will be priced at $599. This is $200 lower than the base non-FE version of the S23. The device will be released on October 10th, and customers can purchase it at that time.
