Galaxy S23 FE

Samsung's new Galaxy A55 brings several improvements over the Galaxy A54, but looking at the official spec sheets, you would think the display isn't one of them. Granted, the A55 has a slightly larger 6.6-inch panel instead of a 6.4-inch one, but that results in a lower pixel density. Otherwise, the two phones share the same Super AMOLED display type with HDR10+, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,000 nits — on paper, at least. It turns out that the Galaxy A55's display is vastly superior to the Galaxy A54's and…

Like every other year, Samsung will spend the first half of 2024 rolling out a new version of One UI to millions of Galaxy devices. One UI 6.1 debuted with the Galaxy S24 lineup on January 17th and will start making it to older phones and tablets in the next few weeks. However, One UI 6.1 is unique compared to previous such updates and will be a lot more exciting for flagship Galaxy smartphones and tablets launched in 2023. That's because those devices, which include the Galaxy S23 series (S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE),…

Last updated: March 18th, 2024 at 15:12 UTC+01:00 Your Galaxy S23 FE is a better phone than the Galaxy A55. There's no doubt about it, even if the Galaxy S23 FE is six months older. Nevertheless, it's interesting how Samsung's new A55 bests the Fan Edition phone in a few areas and isn't instantly crushed by the S23 FE across the board. These few superior features might not be enough to make you want to replace your Galaxy S23 FE with the cheaper A-series phone, but they are worth knowing about. So, without further…

Samsung has released a new security update for the Galaxy S23 FE. This is similar to the update that was rolled out to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra a few days back, but it's coming a little late as Fan Edition models usually get updates on a separate schedule because they don't launch alongside the non-FE models. The Galaxy S23 FE update has made its debut on some carrier-locked models in the USA, but unlocked variants shouldn't be left behind for too long. S23 FE owners get the same changes with the…

If you always felt like the closest rival to your Galaxy S23 FE was the Galaxy S22, and if you ever doubted choosing the Fan Edition phone over the Galaxy S22 or S22+, you might soon rest easy knowing you made the right decision. Had I been in that position last year, I probably would've picked the Galaxy S22+ instead of the Galaxy S23 FE. And, in the end, I would have missed out on Samsung's latest Galaxy AI features. Story continues after the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT-Ld-rZQqY You see, while Samsung has…

The Galaxy S23 series came out last year running version 5.1 of One UI out of the box. Samsung didn't waste time in bringing it to other devices: One UI 5.1 was released for devices like the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 before the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra hit retail shelves. Before One UI 5.1, Samsung traditionally released One UI updates for older devices after the flagship they debuted with became available for purchase, and with One UI 6.1, the company has returned to that tradition. The Galaxy S24 went…

Earlier this month, Samsung released the February 2024 security patch for the international variant of the Galaxy S23 FE (SM-S711B) in Asia. However, the company hadn’t made the update available in India. Fortunately, that’s changing today. Samsung has started rolling out the February 2023 security patch to the Galaxy S23 FE in India. The latest update carries Build Number S711BXXS2BXA9. It brings the February 2024 security patch, which fixes 72 security flaws. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer any new features,…

Earlier this month, Samsung released the February 2024 security update to the Galaxy S23 FE, but that release was limited to the international variant of the smartphone. The company has now released the February 2024 security update to the Galaxy S23 FE in the US, and both carrier-locked and factory-unlocked models are getting the update. Carrier-locked and unlocked versions of Galaxy S23 FE are getting February 2024 security patch The carrier-locked version of the Galaxy S23 FE is getting a new update with firmware…

The Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra were the first Samsung devices to run One UI 6.1, featuring several new AI features and additional tweaks. Samsung announced last month that it will release the One UI 6.1 update to older devices before the end of the first half of this year. The company has now offered a more accurate timeline for the release of the One UI 6.1 update. One UI 6.1 update is coming to some high-end phones in March 2024 Samsung has announced that it will start rolling out the One UI 6.1…

Upgrading to a new flagship phone every year has never made financial sense, and it's especially true right now given how flagship phones no longer bring a lot of major hardware upgrades. Smartphone manufacturers are putting more of a focus on the software experience, and for the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung's entire marketing campaign is based on Galaxy AI, a suite of AI features that enhance your productivity and make tasks like photo editing more useful and fun. But as we said in our Galaxy S24 Ultra review, the AI…
