SamMobile is always well informed as a Samsung specialist. According to the site, the Galaxy S23 FE is scheduled for the 4th quarter of 2023. As previously explained, this smartphone will cut back on some specifications. In this specific case, we are talking an absence of the Snapdragon processor in favor of an Exynos SoC (manufactured by Samsung) worldwide.
Users who prefer Qualcomm chip performance may be disappointed if this rumor is true. Remember that another rumor – drastically different – speaks of an absence of the Galaxy S23 FE replaced by a smartphone that folds in 3. For the moment, nothing concrete apart from rumors from the hallway.

We also learn that the smartphone would have a 50 megapixel main sensor on the back just like the rest of the range, good news. For the battery, it would have a capacity of 4500 mAh like the Galaxy S21 FE.

The same processor as the Galaxy S22
If the Galaxy S23 FE has an Exynos 2220 SoC, users may be disappointed. This is the processor that fitted the European version (and therefore the French version) of the Galaxy S22. The chip had not received good feedback from specialists due to various problems such as overheating or lower energy efficiency that impacted autonomy.
But water has flowed under the bridges and it’s a safe bet that Samsung has corrected the problems of its processor.
