We gave the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 3.5 stars out of five in our review. If you like the idea of a Galaxy S23 but don’t want to pay top dollar for one, the S23 FE could well be the Samsung phone for you.
You get a larger screen with bigger bezels, and a phone that is chunkier and made of less premium materials. But aside from that it’s quite difficult to see the differences - the slightly inferior camera here won’t bother most casual phone buyers, and the inclusion of an optical telephoto lens at this price is rare.
It does feel like an awkwardly big phone though, and is much less svelte than the S23 Ultra, which is dimensionally larger.There’s Android 14 right out the box, with four updates promised to Android 18 and security updates till 2028, excellent longevity for a mid-range phone.
We do question if the relatively underpowered Exynos 2200 chipset will be as sprightly then - it’s a real shame the UK is stuck with Samsung’s own silicon instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 most other regions get with the S23 FE. If you're looking for alternatives, iD Mobile has some other deals available directly from their site.Currently, they have some offers on the iPhone 15 for £32.99 a month with a £19 upfront cost, which includes 10GB of data, unlimited minutes and texts.
