This is like between A54 & S23. Basically if you want something more than A54, but also need to save money, this is good value.
Great review, love how you commented on the design, I personally love the design so much I have it as my wallpaper 😂
That mint colour looks good
Beautiful color grading, or did U use a new camera to shoot?
Nice video all cases for s23 fe you can put it and use too for a 54 all these two same sizes
its nice, my issue with this is just chin bezel is a bit thick.
Very beautiful design and interior software ❤
Appreciate the review. Can you give us an update on the battery/performance 2 weeks in?
Heck yeah glad to see some Malaysian tech reviewers getting love!
Yeah but what did he say??
How do you compare the video OIS result to Zenfone 10 ? thanks!
Very useful review, thank you
i personally love your videos,good job
Am I the only one who likes this phone? Doesn't matter it's a74 or a54 plus I think it's good value for a Samsung phone.
For exynos? Nahh
@@akmalrusydi2730 have you used the phone !
I like it also for the price maybe it's a little over priced but most Samsung's phones suck other than the S series
u don't know what good value is🤣
Is this good for senior people? I mean not gonna be used for gaming? I’ll buy this for my parents i guess
I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, do you or anyone else think this would be an upgrade or is my current phone still superior?
Something I always think about is that when comparing photos from phones a good metric is the RAW files they produce. That's actually how the image sensor saw the image. The JPG is the way the phone processed the RAW data to create a more aesthetic image. That's what over saturates and blows out the contrast on the image. A JPG isn't a good way to compare images from different phones. The purpose of a JPG is small file size. To do that it sacrifices data that it thinks isn't needed to represent the image. It remaps color which effects saturation, and strips out detail from bright and dark areas which effects contrast. That original data is still in the RAW file though.
this or pixel 7a or 8a
nice clean videography and good taste in gizmos ;) architect?
My number 1 Malaysian Gadget reviewer
Something that the review didn't highlight is that the Exynos variant are running in hot after long usage compared to the Snapdragon variant. Sadly, for us in the asian market we are getting the inferior Exynos variant..
GJ Lim!
Does it feel comfortable in the hand considering the weight and size? How does it compare to the a54 or s21 fe in this regard? And is there a silver ring around the selfie camera? Tnx!
Compared to the A54, the S21 FE feels like it's made using better materials. To the nitpicky ones, they'll feel the diff for sure. As for the silver ring, unfortunately it's still there haha.
@@LimReviews🙏
The reason people compare this one to the a54, is because the body, dimensions, design, bezels are the same, with the exception of material of the frame. It wouldn't surprise me when the cases would fit both😏.
For sure the performance, wireless charging and camera is different and that's why you pay more, lots of people don't care, to them it looks the same and it does! Besides that, good review!👍
I tried regarding the case but the side buttons are not at the same place between the A54 and S23 FE. Moreover, I did not check if the rear camera lens layout and depth are the same.
@@ilw10 Thanks, just the same looks than…😁
They could have made the bezel thinner
What is the recommended screen protector for this phone?
Except the bezels, this is a good phone actually. The vaporchamber works fine according to the benchmarks. The CPU can retain 75% of its power. According to RON TEK's benchmark video. I think it's better than the similarly priced s22. No need for 8 gen 1.
I heard it performs a bit better than s22 so I guess this is more reasonable than the previous flagship. I have s23u. I'm curious how this fairs out w the flagship. Fine cameras. Not bad at all
depends on the price, if the s22 is much cheaper then i think its worth it, if not, s23 fe
Honestly, the only thing about the bezel I hate is the nonuniform thickness. The chin is slightly thicker than the other edges. I would much prefer equal but thicker bezel than thin but unequal bezel.
if i choose this to Xiaomi 13T pro, with the same price, i would go to 13T pro when it comes to performance, this FE is focused on built quality, and very expensive for the specification
The Galaxy S6 frame has made a comeback in the Galaxy S23 FE
I just received my s23 FE a week or so ago, and I love the phone. I'm not a heavy user, meaning I don't play high graphic games like Asphalt Legend, Minecraft (if that can be played on a phone), and games like that. The 📱 charges fast for me, so I'm not sure where the creator is getting that it doesn't charge fast. It's also the perfect size at 6.4".
Still the same?
@@suhritareddy I returned it and got the s24 Ultra. The display is too dull for me on the FE.
can you compare 13T and S23 FE?
The hate on the Exynos CPU (never had one, but so much hate must be for a reason) and that samsung/apple bullshit of not include a charger, while charging the same retail price, are the reasons why I am looking other options in the market.
Finally! A review of this phone that doesn't call it a piece of crap. I'm very happy with it. 😊
If you are planning to get the S23 FE i would recommend the S22+ from last year's S series flagship. It would have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip rather than the Exynos 2200. 😊
S22+ has thinner bezels, matte back, more durable Gorilla Glass Victus, faster 45W wired charging, better camera specs than this A54 FE.
Or just get the s23 fe with snapdragon?
My FE has SD 8 gen 1
@@unholydonutsthe FE & S22-22+ has very similar all around specs
Thanks I think i buy it i have the s21 fe 5g
I like it, low profile and good performance with solid build
Where did you get that wallpaper from
Would you recommend this over the pixel 7a?
About cameras how does it feel the 3x optical zoom? and the ois videos? Ive been watching a few a54 camera test video vs s23fe and I haven't made up yet.. Whit all de prelauch around the 23fe they en up with the same price. I could use some advice :)
Go for S23 Fe mate
Great Intro ❤😅🎉😊 0:01
He should be doing peoples laundry instead of reviewing phones.
Make a comparison with Xiaomi 13t
Lots of exynos haters who have not even tried the new phone already hating 😢
I used to think why do people hate exynos soo much (like you do) and then when i played games (minecraft and gensin ) It was DISAPPOINTING to see little stutters with the LOWEST settings that too with Extreme heat like no joke i thought my hands are gonna burn just holding the phone. so yeah that's my experience with exynos and hating on it still
Oh I got it for a good price on Samsung Shop 😍
The borders around the screen looks much bigger than borders on 21FE, are they? 🥴
I have a s20 Fe 5g snapdragon. Camera setup s23 Fe is the same as s20 Fe 5g except for the 50mp for s23 Fe. And it output 12mp picture for both devices.
In the US is going to have snapdragon
I hit like and sub after this video
How about esim and multitasking?
Glorified Samsung A54
you probably wont answer my question but please notice me!
i really want to know if this is worth buying for concert, or precisely is the zoom almost similar to s23 ultra or not? i could buy the ultra version but since i only want to use it as my second phone, i dont think i want to spend that much money on it T_T
If zoom is your main concern the S23 Ultra is still your main pick. Unless you wanna check out other brands. There are plenty of phones with strong zooms.
It's been 3 weeks since i own..it's a good phone
Mine will not update to Android 14 and Samsung UI 6. Help
How far does the camera zoom to?
Nice 👍
Talk about battery life. Screen on time. Important points to consider this phone.
Is the device size the same as the A54 screen?
Don't tell people to go swimming with their phones, ip 68 won't stop saltwater from corroding the phone over time
Overall happy wit my S23 FE. Only negatives are the battery life and the phone gets very hot during gaming. As a result I bought the Gamesir X3 which works very well at keeping the phone cool.
how many hours of battery life do you get
I want a review of Pixel 8
Say about heating ? Is it like the old versions of Exynos or is there any improvement???
Using it for last 5 days with casual gaming , faced no heating as of now
old ver but samsung improved their thermal cooling system in this device
@@pudinichigo91 But from personal experience I can say the battery is very mediocre
@@surriyakrishnan8463 I'm not talking about battery life but performance & heating issues
This phone sucks bro the battery drain so fast and the heat my God I cannot play in a long run because of the heat...
Iphone 12 pro vs iphone 12 pro max vs samsung s23 fe. Which better for best camera say me plz...
i just got the phone... strangely when i charge it is getting hot..
i do have S20 FE its a god send device... hmm
The previous FE's shared the same snapdragon processors as their flagship counterparts. The S23 FE does not and has a weaker processor. IMO, It's best to buy the S23 unless you can find the S23 FE heavily discounted.
Well black friday best buy it dropped to 400 from like 600 dollars but not sure if it still worth it for the difference. Also s23 might drop cause the new announcement of s24
If we're not talking about discount, but the recently discounted S23FE made it a really hard-to-pass offer. $400 is a really good deal considering A54 goes for $350.
I like samsung's display, so beautiful n smooth 😮
How is the performance for exynos
This or the zenfone 10?
Hi I just had my A54, it is overheated with normal use of web browsing . Any advice on overheating issue on A54? It's disappointing to have it overheated
i have A34 same issue i think samsung software is so bad with optimization that even new phones are suffering and it will take 1-2 years for it to be fixed from experience with a21s also maybe try to flash the phone using the samfw method
I actually disappointed that it doesn't have plastic back panel.
I want an S23 power with good 'dropability' 😅
so you are planning to drop your phone? hahah
@@charlessonjambre6409 more like I predict to drop my phone. Just like I did for some time with my current phone.
@@victorutomo7244 you need extra care for your phone.. 😁
Does this phone shoot 10bit hdr video?
Can you compare it to another phone?
how is the battery life?
Got this phone yesterday. I don't know much about specs but reason I bought this is it is now on sale from 39000 to 36000, plus that I can get it wet. I wash dishes, do laundry, take a bath as well while watching netflix 😂😂
Does the phone support eSIM?
s23 isnt that bad but the pricing really is like in shopee s23 fe brand new is the same price with s23 like wth
Samsuck is going back to their Exynos Shiat again! Even MediaTek Dimensity is outperforming the Exynos. Say no to Exynos!
How's the storage?
Which one is better: s23FE or mi 13T?
Which would be a better choice the 256gb version of the S23FE or the Xiaomi 13T?
S23 fe. Samsung phones just have better build quality
What is the date and price of Pixel officially launched in Malaysia?
I don't think it's coming to Malaysia at all bro. The closest will still be Singapore unfortunately...
Did not realise it was a gloss finish..which S23 FE colour hides smudges/fingerprints best?
I bought the Tangerine One and honestly doesnt seem to show finger prints that much
I just want another "e" edition of the Galaxy line, the S10E is still my favorite phone of all time.
THIS!!!! Is it really true no / lack demand for small-sized phones?
You nailed it. This phone is in between the A54 and the S23+. Many FE users don't want the smaller S23. S23 is Samsung's smallest phone. Well the S24 is today.
Everyoen moaning about exynos yet theyve optimised the chip and it runs cooler with less throttling . I think its a great device and sits in perfectly in-between the A series ans S series
Also they've not even used this phone but comments as if they have for years. Nothing new...
@@LimReviews I know lol. My partner has the standard s22 ( exynos version ). battery life aside its a fantastic phone and even battery life has been better since some updates
Test Genshin Impact and you'll realise what throttling and cooling is 🤣
Even if it is better than before
It is still inferior to the Snapdragon variant
You're basically getting a inferior product for the same price
@@xxiamlostxx_dreams_7916facts
Is the front selfie able to do 4k video?
Big Chin Bezels why Samsung?
Remember to activate Dolby Sound for better sound....
what about the battery life? does it drain so fast?
Nope! Day 4 in. Using it under normal use - that means social media, occassional photos, a game or two. It doesn't stand out to me as a phone that HAS battery issues.
IMO, I cant see the point of buying s23 fe when you can get s23 128gb for RM2.2k - 2.3k+- in shopee.
Cream or Mint?
Civic Type R FTW!
Hi. I am planning to buy S21FE. Should I spend more and get the S23 FE provided that there's a significant price gap that too from 256Gb (s21fe) to 128gb (s23fe). Thanks in advance
the s21fe can be found for very cheap ive heard, but battery life isnt great. That being said, a few of my friends purchased the SD model and love it
@@geester Even I'm thinking of getting the SD variant. Thanks for your reply!
Older flagships are wise choice though consider that the battery has been sitting for quite some time so don't be surprised if the battery health drops or drains quickly but can be sent to repair shop and get it fixed
Does it have 4 years OS or system and security updates?
Yes same as the flagship
Thanks bro... plssss can I get one from you 🙏
Compete pretty well with it's competition. I usually see this as an A74 that was never meant to be 😂.
Hahaha exactly as I thought too
ikr. Can be A54 Plus too lol
@@xrypro4080 lol
well if it’s going to be A74 then we can never have a wireless charging, Dex, flagship chipset and also dynamic amoled 2X display which is only available to galaxy flagship.
@@reziee5897 true
I just ordered mine for rm2.3k and get extra 10% discount. I was contemplating whether to get this or the a54, but i end up getting S23 FE because the camera is greater than the the A54 😍 can't wait for it to arrive
How is it? Is it overheating and the battery drains quickly?
@@saidrasidin172 hi there, i notice that it heated up quite fast and also the battery drains quickly too as i playing games like genshin impact.
@@salfanin8749 how is the battery now?
Exynos has the better pics while snapdragon is suitable for the gamers.
I don't see anything wrong to use exynos if the price of the phone is on point
The chipset is said to be doing good too. V
Why is there so many models of a s23? Why can’t phones be like the pixel. only has 2 models. 1 for poor people and another for richer people
if only Samsung make the S FE series to fill the enormous gap Apple just left off. the Mini segment.
it will be blockbuster of the year.
otherwise I'll stand with Ice Universe's statement, FE series is just unsold materials remade, trash recycling point. dont get me wrong, i have my S21U exynos, and it perform even better after each update to the point i once hoping for exynos S23U.
I just wanted to know if this phone runs smooth or does it lag on a day to day use? I don’t care about camera, thick bezels. I just want an android phone that’s not too expensive over (AUD1000) but runs smooth. I already have an iphone 15 pro max just wanted to try a nice android phone that’s not as expensive as the flagship androids.
I can get this phone brand new for $500 in Australia. I would rather pay more for an android phone that runs smooth than something that’s cheap but laggy.
s23 fe vs s22?
shhitty proccessorss
OIS so nice...
I will offer the purple one to my girlfriend 🥰💜
Fondled the S23 FE in store, felt like a rebranded A54.
It could, in a sense, be called the unborn A74!
it is
samsung has proven to be cheap why make the battery 4500 in 2023 most phones have 5000 mah also why make the screen 6.4 when they can make it 6.5 or 6.6
@@mztahhan Everything is Samsung land is an up sale to the next model until you reach the Ultra.
@@Just_Mike64 they managed to ruin all phones except s23 ultra
its all good except when you see they put the garbage overheatingsamsung's 8 gen 1
Comparing to Xiaomi 13T pro, is S23 FE better?
No. Well, software yeah but not the whole package.
spec wise, nope, but for software / UI that all come to personal preference
