FULL STORY
======================================================================

Weve been hearing rumors about a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE for a while, but were 
only now seeing leaked renders of how the phone might actually look, and 
theyre a mix of expected and surprising. 

Shared by reputable leaker @OnLeaks on behalf of SmartPrix , the renders  
some of which you can see below  show a design thats, in many ways, similar 
to that of the standard Samsung Galaxy S23 ; complete with a trio of camera 
lenses in the top left of the phone's flat back. 

Now, wed expect the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE to look similar to its sibling, so 
thats no surprise. But look closer and there are some telling differences, 
with the Galaxy S23 FE  which is shown here in black and white shades  having 
much larger bezels than the standard Galaxy S23. Image 1 of 2 (Image credit:

That makes it look surprisingly low end, and not only that, but its LED flash 
is placed lower, leaving it with a design that actually looks a lot more like 
the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A54 . 

Indeed, the source of these renders claims that the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has 
dimensions of around 158 x 76.3 x 8.2mm, which is almost exactly the same as 
the Galaxy A54; so it might even be that Samsung has simply put the FE in the 
A54s shell. 

The only other detail here is mention of a 6.4-inch screen, which would also 
be a match for the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, but were expecting some specs will 
be better. (Image credit: Future | Alex Walker-Todd) Better than the A54 but 
worse than the S23 

For one thing, it will probably either have a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 or an 
Exynos 2200 chipset  with most recent leaks (including a new tweet from 
leaker @Tech_Reve ) pointing to the latter. 

Those are both higher-end than the Exynos 1380 in the Samsung Galaxy A54, but 
theyre also a step down from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in the standard 
Samsung Galaxy S23. Thats notable because the previous FE model  the Samsung 
Galaxy S21 FE  shared a chipset with the Samsung Galaxy S21 . 

This might all sound disappointing, but wed argue that a more mid-range 
design and chipset are actually good things for the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, 
because this might help Samsung keep the cost down, and therefore make it a 
distinctly different proposition to the standard Galaxy S23. 

The FE line has always struggled a bit with finding a reason to exist, as the 
prices and specs are typically too similar to Samsungs main flagship of the 
year. But this time, the FE might be an upper mid-ranger rather than 
something high-end, and that could help it stand out among the best Samsung 
phones .
