In just one year, Samsung skipped two generations ahead. But is the S23 FE that much better than the S21 FE? Both yes and no. However, it is still not up to the level of the true S23 models (or even something like the S22+).

Specs:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will feature a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top. This is the same as the Galaxy S21 FE that was recently refreshed with Qualcomm processors in India.

Depending on the market, the phone will have an Exynos 2200 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. But in India, the device will be coming with Exynos 2200 SoC. It is coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage.

A triple camera setup includes a 50MP camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP telephoto sensor, with 3x optical zoom, OIS, and a 12MP Ultra-wide sensor. The device will feature the same 10MP selfie shooter.

The Galaxy S23 FE is expected to feature a 4,500mAh battery and 25W fast charging. This is another feature carried over from the Galaxy S21 FE. Besides wireless charging, the smartphone comes with an IP68 rating making it dust and water-resistant.

The connectivity options include Dual SIM with 4G LTE, VoLTE, 5G, Wifi-6, A-GPS, GLONASS, USB Type-C port, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3 & under-display fingerprint scanner.

According to the leak, the Galaxy S23 FE will boot Android 13 out of the box with One UI 5.1.1. The smartphone will receive four major Android OS updates and five years of security updates.
