While the Galaxy S22 FE remains a rumor and its release is still unknown, new leaks about the Galaxy S23 FE hint towards no FE phone this year too. More about the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and its leaks and rumors here.

We might not witness S23 FE this year:

According to WinFuture tipster Roland Quant, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may not be released this year. He has not revealed any other information except this news.

Sure doesn't look like there'll be an S23 FE this year.

We still don’t know what Samsung has planned for the FE series phones. Next year, Samsung might release a FE edition phone. We never received official confirmation from Samsung that the FE series was being phased out. So there is still reason to be optimistic.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Previous Rumors:

According to the previous leak from @OreXda, Samsung is considering skipping the S22 FE in favor of the Galaxy S23 FE. That means the S23 FE will be a direct replacement for the two-year-old Galaxy S21 FE. The latter was unveiled with a Snapdragon 888 chipset and a triple camera setup.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1!

If OreXDA’s tweet is to be believed, the Galaxy S23 FE will pack a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The company ditched its homegrown Exynos silicon in favor of a customized Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy on the S23 series. So it is likely that the upcoming Fan Edition smartphone will also arrive with Qualcomm’s SoC.
