The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE might not be up to par with the flagships of 2023, but it's not far off from it either. It is a reliable smartphone that can serve plenty of consumers well.

Samsung has brought back the Fan Edition phone with the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, with flagship features like a 120Hz refresh rate display and an updated 50MP main camera. And the plastic back material has been swapped out for Gorilla Glass 5, making it feel even more premium in the hand.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE retains most of what makes the Galaxy S23 a good phone, like the triple-lens camera array and refined aluminum and glass construction. It isn't as compact, and the processor gets hotter, but it's a good enough value at $600.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is a fine lower-cost alternative to the $800 Android flagships, but a lackluster camera system and competition from the midrange leave it in no-man’s-land.

By itself, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE looks like a tempting option with flagship S23 DNA and the right compromises to fit its £599/$599 price tag – but with the regular Galaxy S23 already dipping beneath the FE’s RRP, it seems like it’s too little too late for Samsung’s premium mid-ranger. P

Samsung released the Galaxy S23 FE, its more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S23, right at the end of 2023. It was a bit of a curious decision with the Galaxy S24 mere months away, while at the time of writing, now we have a review sample, the mid-range Galaxy A55 is upon us. There's clearly s

The S23 has just released its Fan Edition. But does it do better than the original S23? I take it upon myself to compare the two Samsung smartphones.
