HIGHLIGHTS
* The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is said to launch in a month or two’s time.
* The reason behind this is due to Samsung witnessing sales drop for the flagship Galaxy S23 series.
* This would also mean that the Galaxy S23 FE will launch before the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The sales of Samsung’s Galaxy S23 family went down significantly this month, according to a new report from a leakster on Twitter.
Rumor has it sales for the full second quarter (April to June) of the Korean company’s flagship slab-style line will be down 20% compared to what the Galaxy S22 series managed last year. This seems to be down to lower than expected demand from “general consumers”.
The early adopters all bought their brand new devices by March, and after that apparently not many others wanted in on Samsung’s latest and greatest.
This is obviously far from ideal, and it allegedly led Samsung to push the launch of the Galaxy S23 FE forward. Now this model is rumored to arrive on the market before the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5, which are reportedly due for a July unveiling and an early August release.
If this rumor pans out, we might see the Galaxy S23 FE out and about in July, or maybe even earlier. The mythical phone has been doing the rounds in the rumorsphere for months, and it’s now said to be a “budget-friendly” version of the Galaxy S23, with only a few specs changed, thus needing a shorter development period than normal.
As usual, we advise you to take all of this with a dose of salt, as it’s simply an unconfirmed rumor at this point. Speaking of which, the Galaxy S23 FE has so far been rumored to sport Samsung’s Exynos 2200 SoC in all regions, a 50 MP main camera, a 4,500 mAh battery, 6/8GB of RAM, and 128/256GB storage options.
Earlier this month, it was rumored to arrive “months after” the new foldables, so now it looks like things have shifted dramatically on that front.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has been doing the rounds for quite some time with its launch expected in two to three months.
A new tip however suggests that it could take place as early as July, and this is due to Samsung witnessing sluggish sales for the Galaxy S23 series. This would also mean the Galaxy S23 FE will arrive before the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Launch (Rumoured)
Samsung has reportedly been witnessing a slowdown in the sales of its flagship Galaxy S23 series. Following a positive response initially during its launch, the Galaxy S23 series sales began to decline, and it’s expected to drop by 20 percent more in the second quarter, according to tipster Tech_Reve.
Going by this leak, we can expect the Galaxy S23 FE to launch sometime in July or August, and before the Samsung foldables arrive. As seen in the past, the Galaxy S23 FE will be a toned down and a more affordable version of the Galaxy S23 series.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE specifications (Expected)
* Processor: The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is expected to be powered by the Exynos 2200 chipset, and this is said to be consistent for all markets.
* Camera: The smartphone is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.
* Storage: There could be two variants for the Galaxy S23 FE and this could be 6GB RAM + 128GB, and 8GB RAM + 256GB.
* Battery: The smartphone is also expected to pack a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging support.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G Launch Timeline
Despite the new information, Samsung’s device development still has a long way to go. The launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 is gaining momentum, while the development of the S23 FE remains low-key. The launch is expected to occur later in the year, following the release of the new foldable devices. Based on this fact, a launch in early 2024 cannot be ruled out, as per the report .
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G to come with 50MP Camera
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will feature a superior 50MP sensor for its primary camera, in contrast to the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE’s 12MP camera, citing an industry source, Galaxy Club reported.

Ans) A recent report by SamMobile has revealed details about the launch timeline and specifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 5G. Samsung plans to announce the long-rumoured Galaxy S23 FE 5G globally by Q4, but there is no specific date mentioned. It could be released sometime between October and December 2023.
