Should you’re desperate to get your palms on the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE then the most recent information is combined – or reasonably, it may very well be good or unhealthy, relying on the place you’re on the planet.

That is as a result of SamMobile claims to have realized that the telephone will launch in Q3 of this 12 months, that means someday between the start of July and the tip of September. That’s sooner than we have been anticipating, as the identical web site had beforehand mentioned the Galaxy S23 FE would land within the fourth quarter of this 12 months.

Nevertheless, in keeping with SamMobile this preliminary launch will solely be in choose markets, with the remainder of the world getting the Galaxy S23 FE in the course of the remaining three months of 2023 and the primary few months of 2024.

So should you’re in one of many choose markets that’s reportedly getting the telephone in Q3, you may not have lengthy to attend in any respect. However different areas may very well be ready so long as we’d beforehand anticipated and even longer, within the case of locations that don’t get the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE till subsequent 12 months.

Past that, this leak reiterates earlier claims that the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may have an Exynos 2200 chipset. That’s the identical chipset as European fashions of the Samsung Galaxy S22 sequence use, so it’s a little bit dated, however then that ought to assist Samsung preserve the price of the telephone down.

We might nonetheless take this leak with the requisite pinch of salt. Not solely are leaks by no means assured to be correct, however – no less than on the subject of the discharge date – SamMobile is altering its earlier declare, so in no less than one occasion the location goes to be proved incorrect on this.

The correct chipset on the proper time

We hope the location is true although, each by way of the discharge date (no less than for the locations that may get it in Q3) and by way of the chipset. 

One situation confronted by earlier FE fashions was baffling launch timing, with the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE for instance launching only a month earlier than the Galaxy S22. That made it nearly immediately really feel dated, and on high of that it was lengthy sufficient after the launch of the usual Samsung Galaxy S21 that worth cuts to that flagship meant the FE wasn’t a lot if any cheaper, so it didn’t have a transparent promoting level.

If Samsung launches the Galaxy S23 FE within the subsequent few months, there’ll nonetheless be a protracted hole earlier than the Samsung Galaxy S24 sequence launches, and the value of the usual Samsung Galaxy S23 possible gained’t have been diminished by vital quantities. Although after all in areas which are ready longer for the S23 FE, Samung might run into the identical points as in earlier years.

As for the chipset, Samsung sometimes makes use of high-end Snapdragon ones in its FE fashions, however through the use of an in-house Exynos chipset and one which’s a bit older at that, the corporate can possible avoid wasting cash, probably resulting in a lower cost for the Galaxy S23 FE. If it’s priced cheaper, then it is going to be additional differentiated from the usual Galaxy S23, making it a extra enticing possibility, and a contender for our listing of one of the best Samsung telephones.
