Someone needs to make a phone with airbags, just because.

the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE in the US has now launched at a price of $629, up $30 from the price Samsung previously said it was. That’s not really a big increase, but it’s absolutely bizarre to see the retail price of a phone change between its announcement and its actual release, especially when those are only a few weeks apart. Today’s launch has also revealed pricing for the 256GB model at $690, a price Samsung previously hadn’t mentioned.

Well that's disappointing. It has the processor from the S22; that's almost two years old. Seems like a downgrade from previous FE phones.

This focus on speed in processors and phones, I think, is silly. They need to have good speed and great build. Having the absolute-latest tech, I just don't see it as essential.

And even then, the exynos version in Europe still is weaker....

I mean, sure, but that's what the FE series has usually been. The current flagship processor with some strategic corners cut to give you a better price.

I'm sure this is going to be a fine phone, but it doesn't feel like an FE. Why not just buy a Galaxy S22?
