The upcoming Galaxy S23 FE will be powered by an Exynos chipset. However, a new online benchmark entry suggests that may not be true everywhere. The Fan Edition phone may still use a Snapdragon SoC in some regions. Or at least, it may be powered by Qualcomm in the USA.
The carrier unlocked Galaxy S23 FE for the USA, carrying model number SM-S711U1, strolled through the online benchmark Geekbench earlier today. The phone runs Android 13, has 8GB of RAM, and a “taro” motherboard. The latter corresponds to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.
In other markets, including Europe, the Galaxy S23 FE should sport the Exynos 2200 SoC. The chipset was confirmed by another Geekbench entry for model number SM-S711B.
Samsung will host its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 26, but whether the company will unveil the phone on that day is to be determined. As far as availability goes, we hear that the Galaxy S23 FE should hit the market in Q4.
Other specs include 128GB and 256GB storage options, a 4,500mAh battery with 25W charging capabilities, and an upgraded 50MP primary camera.
