A few days ago, Android Authority reported that Samsung is following its dual-chip strategy with the new Fan Edition smartphone, and the latest leak supports it, too. 

It reveals the Galaxy S23 FE will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in North America, while the Exynos 2200 in all other regions. The chipsets will likely be paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB/256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

While the Galaxy S23 FE doesn’t feature the flagship cameras like its premium counterpart Galaxy S23, they seem good enough for a premium mid-range smartphone.

The device is expected to feature a 50MP primary camera (f/1.8 aperture), a 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom (f/2.4 aperture). A 10MP camera will take care of the selfies.

The device’s front and back will be Gorilla Glass protected, but the leak doesn’t mention the version. The leak mentions an IP68 dust and water-resistance rating and 25W wireless charging support, but not the battery size. 

Galaxy S23 FE colors & price

In terms of the colors, a previously leaked marketing render revealed the Galaxy S23 FE will be available in four colorways: Pearl White, Black Graphite, Purple Lavender, and Olive.

However, the leak reveals five colorways: Graphite, Mint, Purple, White, Indigo, and Tangerine –  the Indigo and Tangerine colorways will be available through the Samsung store.
