S23 FE

[Moiramon]

Unfortunately I broke my 2 year old S22 plus. Still had 12 months before I could upgrade. I couldn't afford another S series phone but needed something to use till I could upgrade. I ended up getting a new S23 FE of eBay for just under £300. It was US spec so took a bit of messing around to get updates. Other than that it's just about as good as the S22 plus. It's slightly heavier but as a slightly smaller screen. Same processor as the S22 plus and the main camera is the same as the S23. Overall it's a good phone. It's a good upgrade from the A series if you can't afford a proper S series phone. I'm impressed enough to go for The S24 FE next or see if they bring out an S25 FE.

I'm really glad for you that you enjoyed your s23 FE, the FE series should be a thing for people who don't want to get or can't afford the top notch ultra series it's in the middle and certainly above A series, if you have no budget for S series you usually will end up getting A series which is nothing wrong there's a lot of good A series phones there but FE series just sits well and comes with most flagship features. 👌

Hey @Moiramon 👋 

I totally understand and appreciate how expensive phone's can be nowadays.  💰 

I once imported a Samsung Note²⁰ from Samsung Hong Kong into the UK and found no issues with software or security updates. 

I wanted the version of the phone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon soc inside. 😉 

I also own the Samsung Galaxy s²³ Ultra  version from Samsung UK ,so appreciate how powerful these devices are. 

You now do appear to like the ' FE ' Editions 🤔 which is fair enough. 

I currently use the Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra as my daily driver which ticks all my current wants and needs boxes, as it most closely resembles the form factors of the now debunked Note Series.

I'll see what the Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra model eventually looks like aesthetically, and also what's under it's hood 👀 

Exciting times ahead.

I find the ultra too expensive and don't really need a phone that big. Since owning the FE I've found it's just as good as the regular s series for a daily driver.
