The Galaxy S23 FE was supposed to go on sale in Europe no sooner than 2024, but Samsung appears to have had a change of heart. We're now seeing the Fan Edition phone cropping up in Germany, where it is already available for pre-order with early adopter bonuses in tow.
Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S23 FE in Germany, which could mean that other European countries will get the Galaxy S23 FE soon. In Germany, the Galaxy S23 FE is available for pre-order for €699. The 256GB model costs €759.

The Galaxy S23 FE can be pre-ordered in Germany in one of six color options, including four standard colors – Mint, graphite, Cream, and Purple – as well as Indigo and Tangerine, which are online exclusive.
Early buyers get a free pair of Fan Edition wireless earbuds
Samsung says the pre-order period for the Galaxy S23 FE in Germany ends this Friday. But more importantly, customers who buy the Fan Edition smartphone before January 3 will receive special bonuses, including a 20% discount on select accessories and, more importantly, a pair of Galaxy Buds FE wireless earbuds for free.
Purchased separately, the Galaxy Buds FE cost €109. The Fan Edition wireless earbuds have interchangeable wingtips and offer active noise cancellation, Ambient Sound, and up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge. The main thing they lack compared to pricier earbuds is wireless charging.
As for the Galaxy S23 FE, it features a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X 120Hz display that can reach 1,450 nits of brightness, and in Europe, the phone is powered by the Exynos 2200 SoC cooled by a generous vapor chamber.
It remains to be seen when the Galaxy S23 FE will reach more European countries beyond Germany and whether or not Samsung will offer similar early buyer incentives in more markets.
