The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is now available for purchase in the US after being officially announced earlier this month. However, customers may be disappointed to find that the price has increased from the initial announcement. While Samsung originally stated a price of $599, the phone is now listed for $629.99 on the Samsung website, causing confusion among potential buyers. However, those who are looking for a better deal can turn to Amazon, where the phone is still available for the original price of $599, and buyers can even receive a free $100 gift card for future Amazon purchases.
Despite the price increase on the Samsung website, the Galaxy S23 FE is still considered a competitive option in the midrange smartphone market. It features a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080×2340. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, the phone offers 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. It also boasts a triple rear camera system, including a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilization, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and an 8 MP 3x optical zoom telephoto lens. Additionally, it has a 10 MP front-facing camera and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. The phone runs on Android 13 with the One UI 5.1 user interface.
Overall, while the price hike may deter some customers, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE remains an attractive option for those in search of a midrange smartphone in the US market.
