Build + Battery = A55
Camera + Performance + Display = S23Fe
Choice is yours
I'd choose the S23 FE but at the moment in my country the A55 is 100 euros cheaper with 256gb instead of 128gb on the 23 FE.
So for that price différence I'd go for the A55
I own the S23 FE, and my friends owns the A55. While battery life is worse on mine, but the S23 FE is clearly the much better phone. Camera quality is far superior, performance is far smoother, too. What i like about the A55 is it doesn't get hot like mine. I use the Exynos version by the way.
Please tell about Battery drain? someone told me battery is worst? suggest me i should buy A55 or S23FE ?
Thank you for this side by side review. I think I'll go for S23 FE as the first choice second to A55
Terrible. I charge it 3 times a day. I reviewing this because I am thinking on switching to a55@@ahmadkhan-kx5cj
A55 has better battery than s23fe lol
Damn that's horrible. Sounds like a desktop, you're not using a mobile device since you're always plugged in lol. @@a7tah
Awesome content and video comprision as always brother
Thank you again 4 the tour love them both
Thank you Will,good job as always 👍 now we will be waiting for a new Huawei pura 70 Ultra's review thank you..
Geez! This is the exact phone comparison video I was looking for! Thnx 😊
More comparisons like these please, like the galaxy A35 vs the compitition
Best smartphone reviews. Thank you ❤
I would like to see a 6.1 inch version of the A55 . I'd snap it up because I still like smaller screen phones.
Just bought the s23fe, feels like a massive upgrade over my old a52 5g model. So fast and snappy, I don't think i could go back to using a slow phone now. Battery lasts a day so good enough for me.
How did you use your phone?? I mean do you do gaming too???
@@muhammadbaabud5424 I don't play games much. I do pretty much everything else. Mine is the exynos version.
Same. I upgraded to S23 FE from A70. It's so snappy and fluid I don't think I can go back to midrange😂
@@summerwintermelon Hows the battery Life? Some people saying SoT 3.5 hours. Please tell SoT how many hours?
@@markfogel3682 Hows the battery Life? Some people saying SoT 3.5 hours. Please tell SoT how many hours?
Too late already have the a55 and I love it. Ppl think I have the s24 plus tho😂
How is it? I am planning to buy it but i am scared of Exynos! Does it stutter? How long does it take to charge? How is Screen on time? Sorry for asking too many questions but i really want to buy A55 but i have my doubts
It takes an hour and 12 minutes 0 to 100% screen on time I played games 8 hours straight on this thing and still have 25% left and that's mobile legends on max graphics and max fps ultra fps ultra graphics. I've used flagship before I had an s21 ultra and the experience is just as a flagship otherwise from the camera department. Camera is also amazing smooth experience, scrolling social media and the basic stuff breeze through like the flash. I would say the smoothness is even better than the galaxy s21 ultra. And I got mine for around $350 for discount more than worth it for me, it's been 5 days no stutters so for if u want it I say go for it because the battery is amazing!
@@nathanthomas2270 How do you think the A55 will hold up during many years of gaming, midrange phones are known to degrade faster in performance especially when gaming
@sup1729 true but I've had my a53 ever since it came out and it plays mlbb well so imagine the a55
@@nathanthomas2270 True i cannot tell without testing it but I imagine it will run smooth for 2-3 years before slowly degrading over time, if you don't game often I imagine it will run smooth for about 5 years
Thanks a lot for this video Gsmarena
You remind me a character from SNL..the one that was advising about night life in New York..Stefano!!!
Brilliantly done! good video!
It's ironic how the FE means fan edition but it doesn't cater to one aspect of what fans want (i'm one of them), which includes the Micro SD card expansion. If Samsung just had to include that SD card expansion, i would totally upgrade my S20 FE to this.
So contemplating if i should just go for the S23 plus or Ultra version with the higher capacity models or go for the A55 due to the SD card slot. If the S23 FE has a SD card slot, it would be a neck to neck competition. Like come on Samsung, no point calling an FE edition if you (Samsung) don't address what the fans want right?
FE doesnt mean fan edition but it actually only means fun edition.

How i can see the text to understand about it.. The text close by sponsor 🤦♂️
SD 8 G1 and no microsd card slot for a flagship. Wtf have customers been enabling these days. 😂
S23 FE vs A55 vs Pixel 7a or 8a which should I go with
I can't take any manufacturer seriously that charges flagship prices with no charger in the box. I'd rather go with any other brand that packs in everything in the box
How about the macro photography performance and comparison?
A55 is better cuz of its dedicated macro camera.
I bought A55, have it now for 2 days and i am happy with it.
If i wanna have the best video and photos? They i buy next year the S25 ultra.
But for now i am happy , i do nothing this year for record on Tomorrowland or other things.
So camera is not so important for me now on this moment.
The batterylife is good and that is what a want. Screen is beautiful. The speed is good but make it faster, unlock the developer settings and 3 times animation on off.
And in other settings also animation reduce or eliminate, i hate animations.
Now my phone is fast, S24 ultra is a bit faster yes but not much, its close in many cases.
Facebook and x etc... are smooth also. Inly the 1st day was x choppy but today I have no problems with it, it works smoothly, the scrolling works smoothly etc...
On this moment i am happy with the A55.
I can everything do what a did with the S24 ultra. I can use all apps etc... The biggest difference are the camera's/video recording (offcourse), but you pay 356 euro for A55 now in Belgium vs 1200 euro for the S24 ultra. ;).
A55 is a good phone but if you think that your photos should be the best and also your videos, then you should go to one of the top models.
Do you experience any heating issues?
@jackGADRE3L I've been using a55 for a while now it hasn't heat up once . The heat management is great
Bro A55 is the right choice this year, it is a true 5G phone with great chip optimisation. Its not for gamers but for people who want a phone that does everything well for a regular user
How long does it take to charge? Does it stutter because of Exynos?
@littleregrets8810 no stuttering for me . From 0 it takes an hour.
I have used S21 Fe before, and now so Happy with my A55. I prefer mid-range, good thermal, longer battery, and stable performance even for gaming (i could say better than my S21 Fe 😅)
I'm still on the fence in choosing between Samsung A55 and Vivo V30 Pro due to both have great specs when it comes to camera and casual gaming.
Samsung A55 for better software features, security and battery life
Vivo V30 pro for slightly better camera and performance with fast charging.
Samsung has better long term and resale value unlike Vivo.
Any green line issue??
Excellent comparison. What's your favourite in these two phones 😂
How many years of security updates and os ,have both of them ?
4 years OS and 5 years security update
Do you suggest that I buy s23 fe or wait for releasing s24 fe?? 🎉
I have the Exynos Version and the battery life sucks, even with all the settings down Power Saver mode on 5G off etc etc it still chews through the battery, I only kept it for the 3X Telephoto lens really.
Here in Brasil today fe was at sale for a diference of $34. (a55 for studensts: $378 ; s23 on a random super sale $413) Both 256 gb. Fe is exynos. I'm still choosing because I'm just a mid user and battery lify is a game changer for me, but I'm so drown into the fe cams.
if you want even average battery then do not buy this FE
I JUST BOUGHT A32 AND I WAS NOT HAPPY AND CONTENTED
AND I NOTICED THE A55 AND QUICKLY TOOK IT AND SO FAR SO GOOD 👍
HAPPY HAVING IT THAN A32
I'm waiting for the S24Fe. The S23fe wins in all category except for the battery life . I already have the A55 but I'm adding the S24Fe as my primary phone and the A55 as my second phone. I'm really after the S23+ or the coming S25+ but it is still out of my reach. The S23+ would be great for its balanced high end features but not quite as fully featured as the Ultras but I'll be very happy with the S23+ features.
S23 FE always ❤
for similar price ill choose s23 fe for every situation.
problem is a55 8/256 cost less than 400 usd in my country so ill choose a55 for cost performance value😂
just got a brand new s23fe for 370 usd with no trade in
@@vesta1000 xynos?? Hows the battery Life? Some people saying SoT 3.5 hours. Please tell SoT how many hours?
@ahmadkhan-kx5cj its not amazing but it should last you a day of normal use with power saving turned off
Is the screen size of the S23fe the same size as the S10+ because they are both 6.4 without the bezels?
THE S23FE is a remarkable phone. It's definitely an overall better phone the the A55. The A55 is a great choice as well. But there's something special about the S23FE that's hard to explain. I call it the Undercover Ultra phone.
My main preference is micro sd card expansion
Same I would have bought the s23 fe if it had the micro sd card but it doesn’t
Not a tech nerd, but I reccomend the S23 FE (a phone I will upgrade to from my J7 Prime), because the A55 only has 4K30 and FHD60 recording, but the S23 FE has 4K60 and FHD120 recording, and even 8K24 recording. The S23 FE has additional features that you won't probably use like DeX, 30x zoom on the 3x optical zoom camera, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, One UI 6.1 Circle to Search, etc. Also, the S23 FE has a cheaper price for more features, so it's kind of a cheaper win win.
Bro how are you still using J7 Prime. That's impressive. And I thought using S7 Edge is bad enough. We have an S7 Edge here in my house, still usable.
M52 display green line issue. They're only offering free display replacement for flagship series.They're only concerned about Flagships, not everyone can afford flagships it's a fact. Really upset with Samsung. Never expected this from a big brand like Samsung.😓
What about software? I'm guessing the S23 FE will get more of the AI features over time
already has
Yes
I don't know why they are saying its price the same but here in the Philippines its not. The a55 is priced at 25k while the s23 fe is priced 32k Philippine peso. I bought the a55 coz it comes with the Samsung Galxy Buds FE and a 25w brick charger for free.
same here. but i got my a55 8gb/256gb at 14890 by trading in my m23 6gb/128gb.
the s23fe now retails at 28k for the 128gb version.
but the 128gb storage and no sd card slot is a big deal breaker for me. apps and games with large sizes were barely enough for my m23, even transferring some of the game files onto the micro sd. im constantly uninstalling apps/games just to make space for new ones.
These channels only consider the US market, and get used to it. I'm from the Philippines too.
Lol i didnt know that gsm arena hidding users comments :D
A55 im going to buy tomorrow....hope it make me satisfy
So how is it ??
Is the a55 the only samsung with sd card?
No. Only Samsung A, F, M series have Sd Card support. While S series dont have sd card support
the a55 can have 2 sims (1 physical, 1 esim) and micro sd at the same time.
Safely I can say at this point that all of the moden A series phones are good now.
If samsung had micro sd support on their S phones I'd get them but in this comparison the a55 wins because of it
Does s23 Fe has OIS in its telephoto camera?
Yes
I'll probably gonna get A55 since S23 FE here is only exynos 🙃
Who else is watching from their samsung s7 right now?
Note 9 😢
With a cracked screen😅
Snapdragon 8 gen 1 , no (heating issue). 8+gen 1 is good
Do they both have circle to search?
No only s23fe has galaxy ai
here in the philippines, the a55 retails at 25k php. but i got my a55 8gb/256gb at 14890 php by trading in my m23 6gb/128gb.
the s23fe now retails at 28k php for the 128gb version.
but the 128gb storage and no sd card slot is a big deal breaker for me. apps and games with large sizes were barely enough for my m23, even with transferring some of the game files onto the micro sd. im constantly uninstalling apps/games just to make space for new ones.
And which is better for you? From PH as well
well, performance wise, the a55 can play genshin impact at medium settings 60fps, cod at very high quality and very high fps, and diablo immortal at high quality but 30 fps.
midrange socs can pretty much play anything at high settings depending on the game.
@@agentponkana4903 Is S23FE having troubles running those games you mentioned?
@@wil5174 i dont know. but since the soc in the s23fe is a higher class than the a55, i can safely assume that it performs better.
if ur still torn between a55 and s23fe, ask urself what matters to you most. midrange performance with large and expandable storage, or almost flagship performance with limited storage.
Bought a new S 23FE. The battery drains very quickly. Tried every tip to reduce the battery consumption yet only improved a little .. it's so disappointing. I don't know about A 55, but the s 23 FE battery is a major blunder. I hope I know that before buying .Not what you expect from a 4500 mah battery .
it shall go 5 hours at least
Please tell more about Battery drain? screen on time how much?
50% 5h of moderate usage
5000 mAh should be the standard for all phones today, including flagships. Unless if it's compact
Fe series is the most value for money from samsung
With wich one should I go?
My Budget normally is 450-500€, but I am flexible with that...
Galaxy A55 256GB for 340€, Galaxy S23 FE 256GB for 460€ or Galaxy S23 256GB for 550€.
I got the galaxy s23 fe and after using it for a while and comparing it to a galaxy s22 I have to say the s23fe camera actually is not very good at all and infact is definitely not a flagship grade camera. My redmi note 11 pro plus could take better quality photos in good lighting than the FE.
Wise use of
Hows the battery life while gaming (medium to high performance games)
The A series has gotten so far because every iPhone user when they say android sucks never touched a flagship phone or A50 series phone they have touched an A10 or A11 or A01 phone that had no 5G, horrible chip, and was made for calling and texting only.
A0X and a1X phones arent that bad though..... i mean newer ones are somewhat decent
I still choose S23FE OVER A55
Same
Definitely
Obviously who's gonna go for a lagxynos chipset 💀🤣
@@Klawg you haven't got much choice in Europe, you get one in both phones here
@@13lucasryan Good discussion brother ✌
I dont know for A55 but S23 fe is burning. And it is burning vhen playing games, when chatting on viber, when watching yt, to be precise, burning all the time. Its brand new and updated. It reaches 70 degrees while playing cod....
Except telephotos both are same camera
i really hope that samsung use 7+ gen 3 for the s24fe
You should hope that Samsung S24FE has keyboard with capital letters so that people can't have excuse to embarrass themselves in comment section.

S23FE for me. ❤
A5x series used to be priced well
The A55 is priced well IF you bought it used weeks after release. For
Still priced well. S23FE is more expensive in most countries.
Watching this from the s23 fe. You can't compare the 2. They not even in the same league. The s23 fe absolutely destroys the a55 in everything except battery life.
OMG Samsung makes it so much difficult for me to pick one. I need good battery of A55 but the cameras and the wireless charging from S23 Fe for sub 700$ price tag. I also think of pixel now
The price still so different
The real difference
One has Samsung Dex and the other not
S21 FE. lighter, longer battery life with SD 888, smiliar performance, cheaper
FE always. Processor is the 🔑
But battery drains a lot

They have like 150 euro difference
Why not compare s23fe with tge series it replaced.. the A70 seties
It replaces A90 series, not A70

Another useless short comparison that answers nothing. Very few ppl can decide by watching these comparisons that cover few things and give no definitive answers. Why bother making these videos? You might as well make these into CZcams shorts.
A35💀
I got an S22 lol
No charger no headphone jack. No Samsung.
Worst phone. Bought on 31.3 24. Finger print sensor not working in just 1 week. Sent to service centre. 1st they said my tempered glass issue. After remove still same. 2nd they said software issue. Upgrade software still same. Then they said need to format the phone. After format still same. Now they said want to replace yhe hardware. Worst service by samsung. Refuse to exchange the phone which faulty in 1 week. Will never buy samsung again
stopped video at no wireless charging in a55. Dealbreaker for any post-2020 phone. No excuse.
Who buys those phones?
S23 FE battery life sucks! SD 8 Gen 1 made by Samsung is trash.
You have nothing to buy lol
S23 Best ❤
