Is the Samsung S23 FE right for me?
Samsung dubs it the perfect alternative to its premium flagship that comes with a starting price of just under $1,000. You get the best bits of the S23 without the hefty price tag.
It'll suit those looking for a mid-range phone that might be jumping ship from the A Series. It may also be an option for Android users that haven't switched to a newer handset in over 5 years.
Good to know. Samsung's fan edition phone is a device packed with fan-favourite features for each generation of the flagship S Series.
Samsung S23 FE availability in Australia
The Samsung S23 FE is now available to purchase in Australia - it was officially launched on October 12. You can grab it outright from retailers or on a plan with one of Australia's major telcos - Telstra, Optus or Vodafone.
Samsung S23 FE specs and features
The S23 FE stays on message with the iconic S series design with a triple lens layout, glass front and back, plus a metal finish.
After a first look, you could liken it to somewhere between an A54 and an S23.
A key difference between Samsung's flagship and the fan edition is the chipset, which keeps the price point in check. Instead of being powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it'll host Exynos 2200, same as the Galaxy S22 series.
Samsung boasts its pro-grade camera features will help users take better photos, especially at night.
It is available in Mint, Cream, Graphite, and Purple. Indigo and Tangerine are also available exclusively from Samsung.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
