The phone has appeared on a benchmarking site, revealing some interesting information about its processor.

  • New Geekbench listings indicate that the Galaxy S23 FE will draw its power from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the U.S. and an Exynos 2200 chipset in other markets.

  • Samsung’s Exynos 2200 SoC was previously criticized for poor energy efficiency compared to its Snapdragon counterpart, but the company may have addressed this concern.

  • The phone is expected to make its debut in the third quarter of this year as a cheaper version of Samsung’s latest flagship series.

    There are no bad products, just bad prices. If the exynos is 500€ or less I see no reason the be mad.

        Because they would have to pay Qualcomm a royalty per phone sold, due to a lawsuit from the 90s

        They shipped the galaxy S6 with exynos in the US in spite of the royalty, because the loss from the fees was outweighed by having a more reliable, efficient and cooler chip (oh how times have changed)
