Hey thanks for the video and I totally agree with your final thoughts .

I don't like the design of the S23 FE (wide border, and especially the silver rim around the selfie camera), but on the other hand, the S23 FE is by far a much better smartphone than the S21 FE, and that on all levels except maybe the design, which is actually something subjective. If you are really hesitating between these 2 smartphones, it means that you have the budget to go for an S22 Plus which is better than both in every way.

I have S21 FE (Snapdragon) with 8/256 gb memory. I had high expectations but the only downside is the camera both selfie and rear cams. Pictures are hit and miss, tbh. If the s23 FE pics are saturated then so as the S21 FE. Very disappointing because it's not only the color green that is saturated (in a bad way, I mean too much) but also color red, pink/fuschia pink, orange. My brother has S23 and yes pics are also saturated but not as bad as S21 FE. Bought it last year for USD 364 so I think it's still a good deal. Great feature is the display, videos are bright and vibrant. Battery is better also compared to my previous Samsung which only has 2,300 mAh. The plastic back cover is subjective, yes it does not break but it is slippery and may look cheap.

But I guess they figured it out, nobody would buy the s23+ or s24+ then. absolute @sses samsung, thats how they play with the market.
