We are graciously expecting the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, which is expected to be unveiled in the coming months. 

Although we have plenty of leaks about Samsung’s upcoming premium mid-range champion, a new leak has revealed a few key smartphone specs along with a release window. 

Notable leaker Yogesh Brar came forward with the Galaxy S23 FE leak on X (formerly Twitter). What the leaker has dished out mostly lines up with his previous leak. Additionally, Brar has also claimed the device will be released in September.

Previously, during the Galaxy Unpacked event, a Samsung executive also mentioned that the launch is imminent. So, we might just see the Galaxy S23 FE launch next month.

Regarding the core specs, tipster Brar has revealed the new Galaxy FE device will sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Exynos 2200 chipset. The smartphone is also said to feature a 6.4-inch OLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

In terms of the camera, the Galaxy S23 FE is expected to feature a triple-camera module on its back, carrying a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 12MP telephoto lens. 

The previous Galaxy FE models featured a 12MP ultrawide camera and an 8MP telephoto lens. However, we are not sure if it will be the same with the S23 FE.  The device is also expected to offer a 10MP selfie camera. 

Samsung is also rumored to provide an official IP rating for the S23 FE. We are assuming it will be either IP67 or IP68, in line with the previous FE models.

The device will also feature a 4,500mAh battery with 25W wired charging. Wireless charging is also said to be present, but we’re not sure about the wattage. 

Galaxy S23 FE will be powered by One UI 5.1 based on Android 13, and Samsung will expected to offer four major OS upgrades and five years of security patches.
