Samsung accidentally confirms Galaxy S23 FE with Pay support

Here's another drop in the Galaxy S23 FE leaks and rumors bucket. Samsung has accidentally acknowledged the Galaxy S23 FE name through one of its Samsung Pay portals. As of this writing, the unreleased Fan Edition phone is listed under devices that support the Pay platform.

Samsung has yet to reveal anything about the Galaxy S23 FE in an official manner, which means this surprising appearance of the Fan Edition device is due to an error that the company could soon address. The phone might be removed from the list of Pay-compatible devices and added later once the phone becomes official.

We found this premature Galaxy S23 FE listing on the Spanish Samsung Pay website. However, we won't exclude the possibility that the company may have mentioned the Fan Edition phone on other portals.

Galaxy S23 FE appears to be inching closer to release

With every new leak and rumor, the Galaxy S23 FE appears to be getting one step closer to its eventual release. When will that happen? There's no official launch date yet, but there's a high probability that the Galaxy S23 FE will get announced before the end of the year, possibly in Q4, which means October onward. There's also a possibility that some markets may get the phone later in Q1 2024.

In addition to the Fan Edition smartphone, Samsung also appears to have developed two new FE tablets and its first pair of FE-branded wireless earbuds. But since tablets and earbuds, in general, don't support Samsung Pay, there was no chance of these devices being mentioned alongside the Galaxy S23 FE on the Spanish portal.

The Galaxy S23 FE is expected to be powered by the Exynos 2200 chip and to feature a flat design similar to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
