In early October, after numerous months of speculation and leaks, Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S23 FE has finally been officially unveiled. And now, it is readily available for purchase in the United States.
During its unveiling, Samsung had initially announced the price of $599 for the device. However, if you visit Samsung.com now and attempt to purchase the phone, you’ll notice a subtle price increase. The listed price is now $629.99. While an additional $30 may not seem significant, it’s worth noting that this phone has been official for 23 days now, resulting in an increase of over $1 per day.
Fortunately, if you desire to own the S23 FE without paying Samsung’s inflated price, Amazon has come to the rescue. They are offering the phone at its original price of $599. What’s even better is that you can receive a complimentary $100 gift card for future Amazon purchases when you make the purchase.
This effectively brings the total cost of the phone down to $499, which is an incredibly competitive price in the currently underserved midrange smartphone market in the United States.
The Galaxy S23 FE boasts a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080×2340. Powering the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, accompanied by 8GB of RAM and a choice between 128GB or 256GB of storage. It features a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50 MP primary camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. For selfies, there is a 10 MP front-facing camera. The phone also packs a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. On the software side, it runs Android 13 with Samsung’s One UI 5.1 on top.
