Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may drop Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, tipped to get Exynos 2200 SoC

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE was expected to launch later this year. The South Korean tech giant was expected to announce the Galaxy S23 FE device after the company launched the Galaxy S23 earlier this year. The Galaxy S23 series includes a base model, a pro model, and an ultra model. It was previously reported that Samsung skipped the Galaxy S23 Fan Edition device like it did with the Galaxy S22 FE. However, a new report suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will hit the market later this year.

According to a report from SamMobile, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone in the fourth quarter of this year. However, it is expected to be powered by an internal Exynos 2200 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC like the rest of the Galaxy S23 models.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to feature a 50-megapixel primary lens, the report adds. It is also said to feature 6GB and 8GB RAM variants and comes with 128GB and 256GB storage options. Like its predecessors, the Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy S20 FE, the Galaxy S23 FE is also likely to pack a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. While all of these details are based on reports and rumours, all information should be taken with a grain of salt.

The South Korean tech giant has been asked to skip the Galaxy S22 FE device to allocate enough chips for the production of the Galaxy S22 Ultra handset. It was the year the phone manufacturing industry faced an unforeseen shortage of chips, reeling from the aftermath of COVID-19. Some reports previously claimed that Samsung will likely skip the Galaxy S23 FE model as well.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is powered by a 5nm Exynos 2100 SoC and is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W wired fast charging. Available in Graphite, Lavender, Olive color options and White, the phone comes in two storage variants: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. The lower variant is priced at Rs. 39,999 in India, while the top-end model is marked at Rs. 43,999.
