After the Galaxy S22 FE was a no-show final 12 months, the prospects for a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE appeared unsure at greatest. However, whereas the South Korean cellphone maker hasn’t confirmed its existence, proof continues to mount {that a} new FE is coming – and this newest leak suggests it will pack a pleasant digicam improve too.

An nameless supply who’s apparently aware of the gadget informed GalaxyClub (opens in new tab) that the Galaxy S23 FE’s digicam system can be fronted by a 50MP main sensor. That may be a notable improve over the 12MP major snapper discovered within the earlier entry within the FE collection: the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, which shared the identical sensor tech as the usual Galaxy S21.

If this information is correct, we might assume that the S23 FE would sport the identical 50MP f/1.eight Samsung S5KGN3 1/1.57-inch sensor that leads the usual Galaxy S23 (and Galaxy S23 Plus’) digicam system, which can be the identical sensor that is used within the Samsung Galaxy S22.

With the identical {hardware} at work between generations, Samsung centered on picture processing, low-light optimization, and including full-resolution uncooked seize to this 12 months’s S23 line – enhancements that will all presumably make their solution to the S23 FE as nicely, if and when it does arrive.

Different rumors recommend the S23 FE can be packing the Exynos 2200 chipset first seen on the Galaxy S22 collection, a 4,500mAh battery, as much as 8GB of RAM and as much as 256GB of storage.

Samsung actually must work on its timing

The ‘FE’ in product names like Galaxy S21 FE stands for ‘Fan Version’ and such gadgets are geared toward distilling flagship options that followers need into a tool at a lower cost. Nevertheless, the S21 FE’s protracted launch schedule, and the absence of an S22 FE, have meant that followers have constantly had higher choices to show to by the point the corporate was able to get a brand new FE on retailer cabinets (or not, within the case of the S22 FE).

Rumblings in regards to the Galaxy S21 FE started as far again at as August 2021, and but the cellphone didn’t arrive till January 2022, by which period the usual S21 – with its superior spec sheet – had dropped sufficient in value that the S21 FE was not the noteworthy reasonably priced providing that Samsung had deliberate for it to be.

It was an analogous story the next 12 months, earlier than Samsung ultimately confirmed that there would not be an S22 FE, with the fee for extra succesful Galaxys having dropped to round or beneath its anticipated price ticket.

And it seems to be as if historical past may once more repeat itself with the Galaxy S23 FE, with current experiences pointing to a late-2023 launch, doubtlessly even spilling into early-2024, which means it will possible have fierce competitors from extra succesful entries already on sale, together with a few of the greatest Samsung telephones on the market.
