After skipping a year, Samsung’s Fan Edition (FE) devices are back! The price-friendly, downscaled versions of Samsung’s flagship products, the new FE devices are the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and Tab S9 FE tablets, and the Galaxy Buds FE wireless earbuds.
The Galaxy S23 FE sports a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It uses a similar 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation as the standard S23, though its telephoto and ultra-wide cameras are not as good. The processor is also the older Exynos 2200 used in the S22 series. But you do get some flagship-like features, such as wireless charging, and IP68 water and dust resistance. Its rounded aluminium frame feels good in the hand, though the phone has some heft at 209g. The 256GB model is priced at S$988, while the 128GB version is S$888.
