Samsung Galaxy S23 FE Chipset and Launch Details
Samsung introduced the Galaxy S21 FE in early 2022 and didn’t sell much in comparison to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G. The brand shipped over 10 million units of Galaxy S20 FE in 2020 alone.
The primary reason was the usage of the Exynos 2100 chipset which had throttling issues. There are several users who bought Galaxy S20 FE 5G even in 2023.

The chipset uses TSMC’s 4nm process and offers better performance and power efficiency.
If the report is true, then Samsung might be able to create a positive impact on the smartphone.
Since Samsung has already used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with the Galaxy S23 series, it is not possible for them to the same chipset with the Galaxy S23 FE smartphone.
Apart from this, the usage of 8 Gen 2 would also increase the price and might not perform well in the market.
