It’s taken a while, but the Galaxy S23 FE is finally here, so let’s unbox it. You get the phone, a USB-C cable, a SIM tool, and flyers.

The series has skipped an entire generation and has left fans of the affordable flagship wanting for the last year or so. Now FE is back with the same formula: take the base from the S series, but with some older components to keep the price down, like the chipset and cameras.
The Exynos 2200 (or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 if you live in North America) is still a fairly capable chip, despite the efficiency “issues”.

We purchased the Purple Galaxy S23 FE and it’s one of the nicest colorways we’ve had here at HQ. It’s a color you won’t see every day and we think it’s great. In addition to it there are Mint, Cream, Graphite and Indigo.

The Galaxy S23 FE is similar to the S23+ but its frame is matte rather than glossy and it doesn’t have the same color as the back panel. This two-tone design, emphasized by the silver camera rings, makes the S23 FE much more interesting than regular S23 phones.
It might even look nicer to some people, though whether opaque or shiny is as subjective as flat glass versus curved glass – you be the judge.

We will now proceed to review the phone, stay tuned for our results!
