Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 8 GB / 128 GB / North America / SM-G711U technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE suits people looking for a premium phone with versatile cameras and a bright display. Its trade-offs are a 209 g weight and less battery capacity than most phones of its time.

Its cameras rank among the best of its time: the telephoto camera has 3x optical zoom, while the main camera includes optical image stabilization. Video recording reaches 8K at 24 fps. The 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display combines 403 ppi with peak brightness of 1,450 nits, both better than most phones launched around the same time. The phone also resists water and dust with IP68 protection.

The Exynos 2200 scores 1,188,176 in AnTuTu, better than most phones of its time. Connectivity also stands better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and USB 3.2 Gen 1. Its 15 W wireless charging is among the best of its time, although the 4,500 mAh battery has less capacity than most. The phone is heavier than most, and its screen-to-body ratio is worse than most.

With a NeoScore of 7.6, the Galaxy S23 FE stands out especially for its cameras, while pairing them with a bright screen and broad connectivity. It makes sense for people who prioritize optical zoom and wireless charging over a lighter body or higher battery capacity.
