Thank you for this review, I just recieved mine yesterday. I feel better about my choice after I saw your video, thank you! I will respond again after I have had the chance to use it myself.

I got mine for 3 days now , is it natural it's get hot after using for 20 mins . Or having call for 5 mins ?

wow! really??@@angieclose5450

[@bee-sh1ou]

thanks for the review, I've been loving my phone a lot. the battery on the other hand seems like it doesn't last very long but I'm loving it.

[@cantaloupe28]

Okay its not just me

[@ottoolsen9676]

@@cantaloupe28 and me!! going from the older and cheaper Sony xperia 10-3 this one just suck on battery life, while the 10-3 can last me 2-3 days, this one is does not last a single day, and it is not extensive use but the apps that i need running on it 24/7

[@scotttatertot69]

I got this phone about a month ago and love it. Huge upgrade to my A51 in every way. Battery life, performance, and display have all been excellent for me. My only nitpick is the super weak vibration motor, which I find very annoying considering the FE's supposed flagship status. New for $650 Canadian, its a great deal

[@Abolfazl3007]

Im also upgrading from a51 Bezels and weight a problem for you?

[@rpgamer847]

My s23 fe batery life is draning af

[@awwwsnap4437]

I bought one a week ago and immediately got the Samsung keyboard app not working error. I reset 3 more times, and now I’m back to using my s21Fe. I hate to return it because I got it at a good price, but this is frustrating.

[@MRJLS15]

I appreciate this insight so much

[@chrisdigitalartist]

I got the s23FE as an early Christmas gift. I love it! It is an upgrade for me because I upgraded from the A51. Now, I am just patiently waiting for the Android 14/One UI 6 upgrade.

[@scotttatertot69]

That was my last phone too! I actually liked the phone and OneUI but it was so freaking slow. Painful to use. Everything else at the end of basically 4 years worked great though. Love the S23 FE.

[@chrisdigitalartist]

@@scotttatertot69 Nice! I agree!

[@CARSOFONTARIO]

I got the FE as an early gift too upgraded from A53 for better cameras i still use my A51 as a second phone ive had ut since it came out but it doesn't have a back cover and the buttons fell off

[@Jkc_]

Are you satisfied with battery life? Would you recommend buying it?

[@jessical57]

I agree with you in many aspects, I have it and it only bothers me that it is heavy, the fact that all the fingerprints stick on the back I have a case I am not worried, the cameras very good and I found it at 469 usd, for that price it is an excellent option only that the S23 the Gen 2 the battery is more than good, it's the best and this FE processor doesn't do that. The only downside

[@antonm7191]

I thought it felt heavy at first too but tbh after 2 days or so, i got used to its weight very fast and i don't notice it anymore at all

[@jessical57]

@@antonm7191 That's something I don't get used to the weight, but the S23 ultra and plus are too

Bro thanks for a real nice way to review this Phone. The way you do it its Just better then others . Just wanna say thanks for youre time and respectvol way of talking .

[@aloenk574]

It'swritten 4500 mAh but I don't feel the real capacity. More like 4000 mAh.

[@OddOneOut665]

Might be an odd comparison to make, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on what would be a better buy based on their Price range ($600-800): Galaxy S23 FE or Pixel 8?

[@CombatVetTom]

Am I the odd one on this > Me and everyone I know > after getting a new phone (like this or any other) no matter how nice looking the phone's body / covering is > like I said me and everyone I know > get a protective case/cover for it and unless it's clear all over > you don't have any idea what the back of your phone looks like anymore AND if you drop it > if the case you chose is decent > it's very well protected.... Does anyone out there NOT get a case and keep your phone as is out of the box? Thanks.

[@k1369]

true, I think it just matters if you want to have a clear case to show the color but at the end of the day its a prefrence. people going around with no case have too much money to not care I guess.

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

I know people who don't use a case because cases look ugly. I feel that their cracked and scratced phone screens and glass backs look uglier...

[@stn0505]

i am considering this or s24. battery life is a big concern to me

[@Infernox-tg6ky]

In europe the S23FE is using the Exynoss 2200 🤡 Same as the S22, trash battery due to poor efficiency, takes worse pictures than 8gen1 and also less performance than 8gen1.

[@jrelwaldo]

Yes, but the Exynos 2200 had been optimised for the S23 FE (Snapdragon 8 gen 1 too).

[@dmp3231966]

Love your video Lil bro and I'm going to get it I kove a54 5g but I'm going to move up✊🏾 speakers on a54 are awesome dam battery is important a54 battery is much better than fe

[@4qurus]

Is it Bad

[@jamesklusener]

what's wrong with it?

[@levipb1403]

​@@jamesklusenerit's basically an A54 with a tiny better spec here and there

[@jamesklusener]

@levipb1403 I'd say it has the same body, everything else is better and improved (specs, camera, wireless charging, aluminum sides)

[@berken_]

İts pretty good, except the battery. I was using galaxy note 9(exynos) before this. and battery difference should've been 2 times better

[@carloishere]

Finally a comment i really needed. Looking to upgrade aswell from samsung note 9. In your honest opinion should i go for it. Thank you.

[@carloishere]

I am too planning to upgrade from note 9. Is it really worth it? Thank you for this comment.c

[@berken_]

@@carloishere Firstly its thicker than galaxy note 9. And front camera has 2.4 diaphram so the front camera is not good at low light. And I get 5-6 hours of screen time (exynos model). I'm surprised that it works pretty fast and accurate.. I just wanted to have like 8-9 hours of screen time but I didn't regret from this phone, I'm happy that I bought it

[@cantaloupe28]

Omg i was using the redmi not 9 before the battery lasted so long until i got bed at 4 am now carry a charger to work i never had to before

[@brandon5894]

Wonderful video! I wanted to ask has One ui 6 arrived to the phone and if so how is the performance, battery life?

[@naseemspeach]

I’m on 5.1 on the S23 FE, it’s running great on the S23 though 😁

[@willl.3353]

I'm in Canada using the snap dragon version. I got android 14 UI 6 on Dec 20. Same day my Tab S8 got it. Battery life is reasonable but it takes a week for the phone to fully optimize. Then performance should improve.

[@PropsHunts]

I bought the s23 fe 5 days ago, for his price, it's really a great phone, I tried to do the battery test by playing movies until the battery is died, it was a long time. The camera is amazing, and the only thing I hope is that it will last long as my s10 that still working fine since it was out

[@mr.fabulous8373]

How is the phone now? I want to buy one for my dad but I am scared about the battery life

[@imadyettou7976]

I'm confused between this and the s22+ Which one is the better choice

[@rajgus7638]

I'd go with the newer phone. You'll get software support for longer

[@khalidlatif6200]

Great Shame in Europe we don't get Snapdragon and the Samsung chip set 2200

[@Mike.Tech.]

Just got mine, and I'm in the UK. It doesn't seem that bad. Obviously my S23 Ultra is better. I also have the A54 and to tell you the truth, there is not much difference. For the average consumer, the A54 is more than enough.

[@Pvix69]

Honestly im not on my phone all the time with constant use it lasts about 8hrs which i think is fair but when i charged it to 100% it lasted 14hrs with not continuous use which is still good in my opinion

[@Adam-gd8no]

I have found this for £50 more than the pixel 7a. Which should I buy? 7a or s23 fe?

[@Booomerfh]

Got this phone 400$ off from t-mobile. Cant pass that up. Only paid 200$ or less.

[@mustafakucukcakmak9824]

this phone in side snapdragon or exynos?

[@randomtoober]

I dunno why but my unit heats up even if I am playing something as basic as Stumble Guys. Should I get a replacement unit or just return and go for S23?

[@willl.3353]

Do you have a case on it? Some cases just don't allow good heat dispensing. If so try it without the case.

[@randomtoober]

@@willl.3353 I do have a case but the issue is that the screen gets so hot that my thumb skin feels like it is burning.

[@shahzmeer208]

Try to turn off ram plus in the setting. It should help improve your gaming performance, battery life, and reduce heating. From my experience, while im playing genshin impact at highest graphic at 60 fps. The average temperature is 42-43 degrees celsius .

[@willl.3353]

Is your unit snap dragon or exynos? You say the screen. My back gets warm but not my screen. How high is your brightness set to?

[@hezdro4985]

@@shahzmeer208 How is the phone so far with you? Im considering buying one but also want a s22 maybe? I can't afford anything but these two right now so which would you prefer s23 fe or s22 ?? (S22 have snapdragon version but the s23 fe got the exynos one)

[@henryruybal6827]

Camera only 30 zoom not 100 zoom big difference . I was told all the same not true.

[@TechNomadUK1]

The S20 FE 5G battery life was very decent and abive average. The S21 FE battery life was rather poor as it drains quick. My concern is if i was to buy the S23 FE w/ Exynos (as this is the one available hete in the UK) it might not even last for a full day with SOT of 4-5 hours only. Any Thoughts & comments?

[@yuwacoco]

getting an s23 fe soon, this was also one of my worries abt it. i was reading good reviews but then suddenly samsung forum and reddit posts talking abt the battery life being horrible :((( if i still remember this comment in like a few weeks i could let u know how the battery is going :3

[@mr.fabulous8373]

​@@yuwacocoany problems?

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

S23 FE is not remotely close to A54. A54 is a midranger with a midrange processor, a plastic frame and okayish cameras. What these phones have common is thick bezels. Not as bad as the iPhone 11, but still bad. S23 FE is like a 1-2 year old flagship with the exeption of thicker bezels. A midranger is always a midranger. There are more compromises and lacking features like the full ingress protection, capable cameras, wireless and reverse charging, long software support, DEX etc. Of course price is a decisive factor as well and the asking price for S23 FE is too much in many countries.

[@angieclose5450]

Is it natural that it gets hot after like using for 20 mins or even having video call for 10 mins ?

[@willl.3353]

Only time mine really got warm was the first day. Setting up, transferring and updating. Felt like holding a cup of coffee. Modem's running, processor's running, battery's charging. It was a busy little processor then. I'm not a gamer. It has gotten warm from heavy use but no lag issues and never what I would call hot. My modem at home gets much warmer. I also use a case which doesn't help heat dispensing.

[@VincentScales]

I did, thx!

[@elpolloloco9657]

Here is someone who stares at bezels instead of actually looking at content on screen. Yet notches and Dynamic Island that are even fatter and take up more useable screen are perfectly okay huh? If you want tiny bezels, go spend more instead of crying about something so pointless on a phone that I clearly not priced as a premium flagship phone. You get what you pay for.

[@abbasalbashir1711]

@elpolloloco9657 relax lil bro, I hate the dynamic island as well and about the "you get what you pay for" with samsung and apple you don't, just check poco phones with almost no bezels and half the price of the s23fe like the f5, but they lack in software optimisation and animation scaling, so choose what you want I guess.

[@SamsvngKnight]

I feel like this phone shouldn't exist. Smaller battery than the A54 but weaker chip than the S23 series. This phone is supposed to fill that gap but it doesn't have a place not to mentioned the 8 Gen 1 was banned from Geekbench. Should've gotten the 8 Plus Gen 1.

[@Bambotb]

The 300 dollars more is definitely worth it for an iphone

[@TaylorABell]

What a comment... Only expected from a stupid iPhone user. You know what they say.... The iPhone is the smart phone for dumb people. The S23 fe is hands down the far better, no brainer choice over any iPhone. You see I could pull many points to support my opinion but what is fact is that apple hates it's consumer and the very person making this comment I am replying to. Apple actually degrades it's users phones over time with every update when a new model is out in hopes the stupid apple consumer just buys a new iPhone. Which I'm sure is exactly what this commenter did. These apple fan boys (girly boys) just don't get it SMH

[@theRevWontBeOnTv]

Nah

[@downstem]

$300 more for lack of freedom

[@mythicul]

Nah, especially now it's like 400 something along with a trade in you can get it for 300 something. Imo iPhones not worth it cus you can get pixel 8, s23 series, nothing phone, and many more which are all better for less $
