Samsung Galaxy S23 FE design revealed in leaked renders
Later this year, the Galaxy S23 FE, the successor to the Galaxy S21 FE, is anticipated to hit the market. The phone has already been spotted on the certification websites, which suggests that the launch is imminent. A detailed view of the design rendering of the upcoming FE variant has surfaced online. The renderings of the Galaxy S23 FE correspond to the photos released by the TENAA. The FE variant closely resembles the plus variant, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23, with factors relating to width and height. Although the Galaxy S23 FE has a display that is 0.3 inches smaller than the Galaxy S23+, according to the TENAA listings.
The black-colored variant of the Galaxy S23 FE was leaked in the TENAA database listing. The core of the future Galaxy S23 FE’s flat display will include a punch-hole cutout. The power and volume buttons are located on the right edge of the device. The smartphone’s back panel will have a triple-camera configuration along with an LED flash. Coming to the corners, it is rounded and curled when looking at its side profiles with an under-display fingerprint. However, these design renderings seem similar to the 5K renders that were leaked back in June, but they were a white variant.
Other than TENAA, the Galaxy S23 FE variant was also spotted earlier on certification websites like NBTC, Bluetooth SIG, BIS, WPC, 3C, and Safety Korea, respectively. Listings from the Geekbench and IMEI databases reveal that the model will arrive powered by both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 chipsets. Customers expect a separate launch event by the end of this year for all the FE gadgets that Samsung may deliver, including the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series and Galaxy Buds FE.
