In itself, the Samsung S23 FE is a good smartphone at a good price. But it also has to compete with the other models in the S23 series. If you take the respective RRP as a basis, the S23 FE is also a good offer compared to the S23 or S23+. The sacrifices that users have to make in terms of performance are definitely bearable in everyday use and the devices are ultimately only separated by nuances in...

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will still be a good choice in 2024. With the Galaxy A55, however, Samsung has a similarly strong mid-range mobile phone on sale that is significantly cheaper. The S23 FE is only worth buying if you value the camera, wireless charging or Galaxy AI.q

    You can't argue with the Galaxy S23 FE. It offers many of the key functions of the flagship S23, such as a dedicated telephoto camera and wireless charging, at a lower price. However, it is a little unwieldy and the timing of its release was far from ideal.
