SAMSUNG Galaxy S23 FE reportedly might be skipped just like the S22 FE. While earlier reports suggested the debut of Galaxy S23 FE in the second half of the year, the latest leaks are a U-turn from that direction.
Roland Quandt(@rquandt) tweeted on Friday, "Sure doesn't look like there'll be an S23 FE this year." The track record of the journalist in unveiling details before the launch adds weight to the speculation. Going by the tweet, it is a piece of bad news for Samsung fans awaiting an upgrade to the 'SE' lineup.

Leaks From The Past
Other information regarding the product or reasons for scrapping the model remains unknown to this point. Earlier, Daily News Post citing Daily Hanooki, a Korean publication tipped the launch of the phone after July in the second half of 2023. Plus, SamMobile quoting a tipster, suggested the phone will house the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.
Further, reports from GalaxyClub suggested Samsung Galaxy A74 might be skipped to make room for the new S23 FE. If the A74 is skipped by any means, the Galaxy A54 will be the most premium offering in the 'A' series which is set to debut on March 16. A user will have to shell out money for the S23 if they wish for a superior experience over the A54.
While there hasn't been intense buzz for the S23 FE in the leaks and rumours fraternity, it can be safely assumed (for now) the Twitter user might be correct.
The Current Offering
For now, if you are planning to buy an 'FE' series phone, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is your latest bet. The phone comes with a 6.4 inch FHD+ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. Under the hood, it has an octa-core processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. It runs on OneUI based on Android 12. The S21 FE comes with a 4500 mAh battery. The camera setup on the phone is a 12MP + 12MP + 8MP OIS setup on the back and 32MP front shooter.
The 8GB + 128GB variant of the phone is available for Rs. 34,999 on the Samsung website and comes in two storage and four colour options.
