A couple of days back, we got our first look at Samsung’s upcoming Fan Edition phone Galaxy S23 FE. The device’s design may have already put off a few prospective buyers, and its reported charging speed likely won’t help change their minds. The new FE phone won’t charge faster than 25W. Worse yet, the retail box will come sans the charging adapter, a practice that Samsung has expanded to budget phones as well.
The Galaxy S23 FE recently popped up on a Chinese certification website (3C). The listing doesn’t explicitly name the phone, but the mentioned model number SM-S7110 is long associated with the upcoming FE phone. The certification reveals that the device boasts 5G cellular connectivity and has a maximum power input rating of 9V and 2.77A (via). In simpler terms, that’s 25W of maximum charging speed. The documents also add that the phone is sold without the power adapter.
We never expected Samsung to ship the Galaxy S23 FE with a charger, nor did we hope for faster charging speed. The Korean firm has shown no interest in the numbers game as far as the charging speed is concerned (we’ll talk about cameras later).
But, an upgrade in this department could make a few people look past its design. If the leaked renders are accurate, the Galaxy S23 FE won’t look any better than the Galaxy A54 5G. No phone in this price segment should feature such thick and uneven bezels.
Galaxy S23 FE rumored specs
Rumors about the Galaxy S23 FE have been coming for a while now. Samsung is expected to equip the phone with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Exynos 2200 will reportedly power the phone globally, paired with the AMD-powered Xclipse 920 GPU. That’s the same CPU and GPU pair used on the Galaxy S22 series last year. The device will get 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Coming to cameras, the Galaxy S23 FE won’t give you the bonkers 200MP shooter found on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Instead, Samsung will offer the 50MP sensor that the base Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ use. We are expecting a 12MP ultrawide camera, an 8MP 3x zoom lens, and a 12MP selfie camera to go with the primary shooter. Other highlights include a 4,500 mAh battery, an under-display fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6, and NFC. Stay tuned for more details about the Galaxy S23 FE, including its price and launch date.
