The Galaxy S23 FE is a refresh of the rather popular Galaxy S21 FE, improving the design, the performance, and the camera quality. The usual stuff, obviously.

The phone is IP68-rated, looks a lot like the Galaxy S23 models, but has a matte frame. It borrows the Galaxy 21 FE display - it's a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

The base model remains 128GB, but the base RAM is now 8GB. There is no microSD expansion, a feature known to be, well, a fan favorite.

The rest is the same as on the S21 FE - a pair of speakers, a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging, wireless charging, UD fingerprint scanner. The S23 FE arrives with Android 13 and One UI 5.1.

The retail bundle includes the S23 FE, a black USB-C-C cable, and a SIM ejection PIN. That's it.
