Samsung found a way to wedge the S23 FE in between the midrange and premium classes, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing that we have one more good phone on offer between $500 and the $800 flagships. But as for the “fans” this phone is supposedly designed for? They’re better off waiting for the Galaxy S24.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is a good phone for various reasons. The camera is really great and the addition of a telephoto camera is an added bonus. You also get an attractive AMOLED screen that produces vibrant colours and the content looks pleasing. It has a premium design and IP68 water-resistant protection as well, which makes it a good buy.

The S23 FE offers good value for money. Samsung has nailed the key areas — display and camera — while the cost-saving downgrades should be acceptable to most users.

If you really must get the phone with the best processor, which is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and are ready to bear the cost, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ are still excellent options. But you probably wouldn't be reading this review if you had no problem shelling out the extra cash, and if that's the case, the Galaxy S23 FE is recommended.
