I was pleasantly surprised by the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE – a fantastic phone offering great value for money, as some have said they raid the parts bin and with the UK model made great flagship like the phone for a bargain price considering all the deals and offers flying around.
It has a stunning flat screen (which I much prefer), which is vivid and bright, thanks to it being a 6.4-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED screen; the only difference you can see compared to the latest flagship S23 is the bezel, which is not an issue for me. The panel can also still display HDR content, which looks great on YouTube and Netflix.
Dual SIM for a UK phone is also rare and a real must for me as I travel a lot for work. It has always ruled out mainstream smartphones due to the lack of this feature, so getting this fan edition S23 to include this feature was a massive plus.
Great software using Samsung Extended update and software support for
In the UK, Samsung is also giving you a three-year extended warranty and long-term software support (, which looks genuine, as I have already had two software updates since writing this review.
One bonus thing I had missed with previous less popular brands is the accessory ecosystem, as you get a broad third-party market of high-quality cases and screen protectors. Also, the ecosystem Samsung has for “Good Look” means you get tons of software options to change your phone's look and feel inside as well!
Over the holidays, I have also been very impressed the battery has held out, and it has taken great shots of the family in all settings. It has been my go-to phone throughout.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is a great phone with many features for its price. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of Samsung’s flagship phones, it’s still a fantastic option for anyone looking for a high-quality phone that won’t break the bank.
