Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Review: A New Affordable Premium Samsung Smartphone

Correction: The S23 FE has 1450 nits of brightness so it is not brighter than the S23's 1750 nits of peak brightness. The S23 FE's adjustable brightness is higher when both phones are set to the "Adaptive brightness" mode by default out of the box, however the S23 has an extra brightness mode that needs to be turned on to access the 1750 nits. Apologies for any confusion I have caused.

What are your thoughts on the S23 FE? Thanks for watching!

Affordable??.... djeezes there are wayyyy better options for way less money

I used S20FE for 3 years, and then for $650 got the one plus 11
Comes with snapdragon gen 2 processor and 16 gb ram , fast charging 0-100 in 25 minutes . Can't beat the value for money oneplus offers

An S-Pen? Really? Thats an opinion i would expect from a complete and total dope that is clueless about technology, possibly even from a woman. Bro... How do you have 247K subs with takes like that? SMH

Your review is useless,

Excellent video. You talked me into it.

What about the front/selfie cam?

Got both s23 and s23fe for 300 dollars from samsung 😊

I like it. I got a reallllly good deal on it. I had an A51 so this is a huge step up for me. Like I said great deal I got. $250 i jumped super fast. Actually used the method I got the A51 for like 4 years ago. Same price, same method.

S8+ thanks.

I love getting these new phones 4 years after their release for a discount😝

Shame they don’t use the same chip in the uk - so it a no go

Really needed this review, thanks.

Just got it today. It's perfect.

They down graded the display from the s20 fe. The s 20 is 1440 120hz and this one is 1080 120hz.

I m using s21fe..❤

I will buy s24fe 😅😅😅😅

Should i replacr my s22 for the s23fe?

DON'T EVER BUY THIS PHONE !!! After two months of using it, the power button which is THE MOST OMPORTANT this button just broke and flip inside. You can't open the phone, you can't using it ... nothing. I handed it to my brother in law and he cut a bottle of Pepsi, put it inside and somehow manage to us it.Later he sold it for Zflip3. it's a just big POS. I like Samsung, I'm Samsung guy but when you buy this shit for 700$ it means that just you LOST 700$

Considering this phone or Pixel 8 🤔

I got the s23 fe on sale and all i can say is a disappointment, pretty much an s22 fe or a54 pro but more on saving cost with outdated chipset, gorilla glass five Instead of gorilla glass victus, ugly bezzles, not only that the one i got has a hardware issue, gonna return it and see if i can an s22 or s23 on sale with better specs, ligher and better design

After One UI 6.0 update. S23 FE Battery Life become better than before

Shame on Samsung trying to pawn this off as the real S23FE, in fact this is simply just the canceled S22FE repackaged and rebadged as the S23FE. Samsung is basically trying to sell you an inferior S22 for $600. You might as well wait another month until the S24 is announced, then youll be able to buy the regular S23 for around $600 and have an all around better phone than the S23FE. I currently own the S20FE so this phone is a disappointment since the FE phones historically used the same generation processor as the non FE counterparts.

People keep complaining about bezels but I want BIGGER bezels. I can't hold a phone without activating the screen.

Price is definitely the reason to get this. I was kind of blown away that the FE is half the price per month compared to the s23. Still feels pretty much like a flagship phone, just with a few minor downgrades as stated in thsi video. Pretty blown away it even exists to be honest.

I BUY cheap phones generally. As i couldnt see the need to buy expensive phones (my last phone was an umidigi).

I got the s23fe on black friday $250 band new 70Gigs data.
WITH A $250 gift card for our local department store!
$55 data canadian (equivalent to $38 American) plan plus 5 bux extra a month for the phone for 24 months equals $250. And you keep the phone after the 2 years is up.

This deal was straight robbery.
Sent back my UMIDIGI A15 to amazon wich cost $215 after tax.

The S23FE is criticized quite a bit. But for me, to go from umidigi A15 to S23FE is like going from a KIA RIO to a Lexus LS430 for the exact same price. I cannot grasp how they make any money on this deal.

My wife and I have the S8 version of Samsung phones. Ya, I know, (good lord). However, with top end Pc with dual monitors, laptop pc, and Samsung tablet who needs a phone that is used for gaming etc. So that said the s23 fe will be a super phone for our needs. Oh, as far as the picture quality I have a Canon 90D DSLR with more lens than I need. I use the cellphone to get GPS information to mark my photo shoots and once in a while quicky shoot when camera not handy. With my Digital darkroom (On1 photo raw) I can make the S8 cellphone shots look very acceptable especially for digital (Facebook, you tube etc.). New phones will arrive next week.

Apart from the wireless charging and the eSIM support I dunno how is it any different on the pre existing Galaxy A54 5G which is more economical for around less than 500 bucks with it being on sale now since it's been almost a year since it came out. What's disappointing about this specific phone is that Samsung didn't even put any effort to atleast make it similar in terms of aesthetics with the actual S23 phones. Instead they chose to make it uncannily similar to A54 5G which is a midrange phone and is the better overall value. For 600 bucks Samsung also shouldn't have lessen the battery capacity 10% from A54 5G. Crazy enough I am not quite sure what benefit having an eSIM did rather than just using the plain old nano-SIM which there's nothing wrong and that works. Cuz here in the Philippines the implementation of eSIM is more inconvenient than just using an actual physical nano SIM. And the most disappointing part of this phone is despite of it being like 100-200 bucks more expensive than A54 5G it just doesn't have any support for microSD card slot which for me is a really bad feat of the S23. So despite of this phone being a good contender for the best upper midrange phone of this year I just couldn't recomment this to anyone I know cuz of those negative aspects on it.

Got any thoughts on how you thing this phone will age? Also how much would you estimate Samsung to give on trade in towards the S24 with this phone? It's still working and might give me some trade in value, but I'm afraid to push it too far into the future.

LOL S20 FE STILL BETTER

I couldn't handle the Valley Boy accent. Had to go.

I have A50 does it worth to upgrade to this phone S23 FE?

Ill stick with my s 23 plus all around the best phone ive ever had

I love the S23 very awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I bought this phone for my dad and he loves it I bought it for a total of $425 unlocked at Best Buy recently

Just got the S23 FE at 360$ Cad at fizz mobile in canada...it like 260$ US. 360$, no return your phone, no exchange your phone....i paid 360 plus taxe and it done. Do see a dramatic drop in the US for the black friday right now?

phone went on sale really quickly from release date lol

I recently purchased 2 S23FEs and it does everything that I need for it to do. My only disappointment is that the battery life seems to be less than my previous S20FE. Transfer of data from S20FE to S23FE was not seamless (done by technician in store) but overall, I really like this phone and price point is great!

We needs some fucken update to fucken a 54 the android fucken 14 a fucken one ui 6 and some can you tell me what to fuck time to fucken get that

xiaomi 14 ---. xiaomi 14 -----xiaomi 14 us 559.------

I just bought this phone. I've used Motorola for years. Do I have to use Samsung earbuds? The phone connects to my soundcore life headphones , but the music won't play.

I love it it's a great phone 📱

Is this unlocked device locked to work with carriers within US or Will this be compatible with mobile operators in India

Its just the A14

It almost look like a iphone
