Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.5/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE comes across as an interesting proposition. At a discounted rate of Rs 49,999, the handset appears to be a good choice for both fans and smartphone enthusiasts. However, at its regular price of Rs 59,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant and Rs 64,999 for the 12GB/256GB model, it does feel priced a bit on the higher side
Pros
- Sturdy design
- Nice display
- Reliable performance
- Good cameras
Cons
- No charger in the box
- Slow charging speeds
- Pricey
Design and display
+
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE design quite similar to that of the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus (review) flagships, and understandably so. The handset features a flat back adorned with a glass layer and three distinct camera rings. Its frame is constructed from aluminium and showcases gracefully curved edges. However, it's worth noting that the corners of the device may feel somewhat sharp, which is particularly noticeable given its weight. The handset weighs 209 grams, which might pose a slight inconvenience to users who like to hold their device for long for streaming and more.

Cameras

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE boasts a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and an 8MP telephoto lens. It's worth noting that the telephoto lens has seen a reduction in capabilities compared to the regular S23 5G, supporting only 3x digital zoom instead of the 10x offered by its counterpart. On the front, the phone houses a 10MP snapper for selfies and video calls in a punch-hole setup.

Performance and software
+
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has the 4nm Exynos 2200 chipset ticking at its core. For the unaware, this proprietary chipset rivals Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in terms of performance. This chipset enables the smartphone to effortlessly handle all tasks thrown its way, delivering raw computing power. In everyday use, the smartphone runs seamlessly, exhibiting no hints of lag or stutter. Gaming performance is also consistently smooth, though it's worth noting that there may be a slight increase in temperature when running graphically intensive games such as BGMI.

Battery and charging speeds
+
Equipped with a modest 4,500mAh battery, the Galaxy S23 FE is good enough to last you an entire day, if not more, with regular usage. The handset offers a decent 5 hours of screen-on-time (SOT) with mixed usage. On the PC Mark battery test, the handset returned a respectable score of 9 hours and 35 minutes.
