It was starting to appear to be Samsung’s FE collection wouldn’t get any extra entries. In any case, there’s been no Samsung Galaxy S22 FE, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE reportedly didn’t promote brilliantly. Nevertheless it feels like Samsung won’t be performed with the cellphone collection in spite of everything, and never solely that, the corporate may need found out tips on how to make them viable once more.

In line with South Korean publication Hankooki (opens in new tab) (through SamMobile (opens in new tab)), Samsung plans to launch a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE in August or September of this yr.

The positioning doesn’t have any particulars on the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, but it surely provides that there apparently gained’t be a Samsung Galaxy A74, which might have been this yr’s successor to the Galaxy A73.

It appears these two issues are linked, as each the FE collection and the A7 collection are higher mid-range telephones, so by releasing new fashions in each, Samsung dangers cannibalizing its personal gross sales. As such, if there’s no Galaxy A74, then the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may have extra potential patrons.

Arguably Samsung’s Galaxy S collection is extra recognizable and well-known than its A collection too, so specializing in a cellphone with Galaxy S branding is smart.

The identical website additionally claims that there gained’t be a Samsung Galaxy S22 FE, which at this level isn’t overly stunning, on condition that the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection has now launched, however there was one leak in January that advised the S22 FE would nonetheless land in April or later, so we hadn’t utterly counted it out.

In fact, we’d take all of this with a pinch of salt for now, particularly as there’s no actual proof but of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE’s existence past this one leak.

Evaluation: Samsung may lastly have gotten the timing proper

In addition to dealing with competitors from the Galaxy A collection, Samsung’s FE telephones additionally face competitors from the principle Galaxy S line, and this beforehand hasn’t been helped by their launch timing.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE didn’t land till January 2022 – only a month earlier than the launch of the principle Samsung Galaxy S22 fashions. So it virtually instantly felt dated, and whereas it was less expensive, it wasn’t essentially any cheaper than the usual Samsung Galaxy S21, which had been out for a yr at that time and seen quite a few value drops. That made the S21 FE a tricky promote and an oddly positioned cellphone.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE confronted related issues however to a a lot lesser extent, because it launched in September 2020 – round seven months after the Samsung Galaxy S20 and roughly 4 months earlier than the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21.

This FE did loads higher, and the truth that it launched nearer to the remainder of the S20 line and farther from the S21 collection than the S21 FE did with its friends might be an enormous think about that.

If the report above is correct, then Samsung is returning roughly to that timing, and will even launch the Galaxy S23 FE a month earlier, in August. As such, if the corporate will get the worth and specs proper then – coupled with there reportedly being no A7 competitor – this has the potential the be probably the most profitable FE but, and presumably among the finest Samsung telephones too.
