The Galaxy S23 FE is expected to launch in October or September of this year. This model holds high anticipation as the firm is about to release a fan edition variant after the Galaxy S21 FE skips the Galaxy S22 FE. In the recent few days, there have been several rumors and leaks regarding the gadgets’ specifications. A few days ago, a model was spotted for battery certification with the model number EB-BS711ABY in South Korea, which is expected to be the Galaxy S23 FE. Still, it is not confirmed, as the listing doesn’t reveal any features.
Samsung will bring a flagship level camera for Galaxy S23 FE
The specifications that make up the front camera of the S23 FE have been revealed. The same 10 MP selfie camera, which was included in the basic variants of the Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 models, is reported to equip the phone. Comparing this with the earlier FE model, the Galaxy S21 FE has a 32 MP front camera, which is enhanced compared to the upcoming FE variant. However, it is notable that the 10 MP sensor includes dual-pixel autofocus. It allows the user to quickly and precisely focus, even in low-light conditions.
Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy S24 may have Exynos processors in some markets
With its 8MP sensor and 3x optical zoom, the telephoto camera also falls short of the S23 series. The Galaxy S23 FE will bear the model number SM-S711, and it is rumored to include a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen powered by the Exynos 2200 chip. Internal storage and RAM capacity might be 128 GB, 256 GB, 6 GB, or 8 GB. Expected to have a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging. A 50 MP primary camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, and an 8 MP telephoto camera will make up the back camera system.
The gadget’s appearance on certification websites means the firm has started testing, which points to its launch soon. The first firmware started to arrive two days ago. However, there isn’t any firmware available for other device variations yet, for instance, in the US or South Korea.

Samsung’s Latest 200MP and Dual 50MP Sensors Might Feature in Galaxy S25
![](https://samlover.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Samsungs-New-Camera-Sensor.webp)
Samsung Electronics expanded the camera sensors’ family by introducing the three latest ISOCELL camera sensors to bring a new revolution to the market. Potentially, the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra could feature any of these sensors, or maybe all.
The Korean giant has announced the 50MP ISOCELL GNJ, 200MP ISOCELL HP9, and 50MP ISOCELL JN5 camera sensors. It seems that the giant debuted these cameras for telephoto ultrawide cameras in high-end smartphones, most probably the Galaxy S25 Ultra since it’s the next in the line to be debuted. Samsung introduced three new camera sensors:
- ISOCELL GNJ
- ISOCELL HP9
- ISOCELL JN5
ISOCELL HP9
The latest ISOCELL HP9 is a 200MP image sensor particularly designed for telephoto cameras on smartphones. It features 200 million 0.56-micrometer pixels in a 1/1.4-inch. It is the smallest 200MP camera in the industry. It features 0.56 μm native pixels, though pixel binning permits it to integrate up to 16 nearby pixels. This increases the pixel size to 2.24 μm and produces 12 MP shots, especially in dark scenes.

It offers several capabilities like upgraded light sensitivity, autofocus, and color reproduction; its predecessor, the sensor, is also preeminent in low-light conditions with its Tetra pixel technology that integrates pixels for vibrant images. The large format of this sensor permits premium zoom without even lowering image clarity.
ISOCELL GNJ
ISOCELL GNJ is a 50MP dual-pixel sensor with 1.0μm pixels in a 1/1.57-inch optical format. It features dual-pixel autofocus, which suggests that it delivers great focus accuracy and speed in several scenarios, such as low-light and other difficult scenes. The giant has also offered in-sensor zoom functionality for delivering optical-quality zoom on top of the optical zoom lens with which it will be paired, offering further zoom without much loss in quality. The leaks have already reported that the upcoming Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will feature a 50MP primary sensor. The brand may attach ISOCELL GNJ or its variants.

ISOCELL JN5
The ISOCELL JN5 could also be housed on the Galaxy S25 phones. This 50MP sensor features a ½.76-inch optical format and 0.64μm pixels. Noticeably, these specs make it compatible to fit anywhere with a rear camera, selfie camera, ultrawide camera, and zoom camera.

It has already been reported that the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s ultrawide camera could introduce a new version of the 50MP ISOCELL JN1 sensor with an ½.76 inch optical format. This report and a newly launched sensor strongly suggest that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could feature an ISOCELL JN5. The company states that this sensor boasts dual vertical transfer gate (Dual VTG) technology, which helps reduce noise in low-light conditions, and also features Super Quad Phase Detection (Super QPD) and dual slope gain (DSG) technology.

Samsung Galaxy S25’s advanced AI novelties could boost its price
![Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Brightness & Adaptive Color Tone](https://samlover.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Brightness-Adaptive-Color-Tone.webp)
Samsung started working on the Galaxy S25 series, which is supposed to be launched early next year. This forthcoming device is expected to be priced higher as compared to its predecessor.
Samsung will expand its high-end S series by introducing a next-gen smartphone series named the Galaxy S25. It’s too early to discuss the Galaxy S25, but leaks and rumors are doing their jobs by offering more details about the upcoming Galaxy S25. This upcoming device is expected to cost more than the current S-series devices.
The reason behind this report appears to be that a Galaxy S25 will be more expensive than a Galaxy S24 due to its higher manufacturing costs. The US chip designer Qualcomm could push the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 into production in the second half of the year. This latest chipset is expected to boost AI processing.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be a truly advanced chip, but its high-end tech advancements might lead to higher costs, which could translate into a price hike for the upcoming Galaxy S25. The report suggested that, according to a recent prediction from industry watcher Ming-Chi Kuo, Qualcomm might increase the cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 by 25–30% compared to the Gen 3 solution.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be manufactured on the 3nm N3E process by TSMC; it’s the same technique used to build Apple’s A18 Pro chip. This shift will supposedly cause the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to be 25–30% more expensive than its predecessor. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 costs around $190–$200; by this metric, the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might cost $260.
However, Samsung could deal with the higher expenses of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for the Galaxy S25 by absorbing the cost or reducing the quality in other areas, such as the battery or display, but this could be risky, such as switching to its in-house Exynos 2500 chip. The upcoming chipset will be fabricated from TSMC’s most advanced process and should bring performance gains to the CPU, GPU, and NPU (AI processing).
