The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is currently available for just ₹35,999 on Flipkart, as summer sale is going on, while the official website of Samsung, displays a price tag of ₹54999.00 for 128GB model, and ₹59999.00 for 256GB with both having 8GB RAM.

Battery: 4500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging (charger is not shipped in the box.)

Storage: Two storage options are available, 128GB and 256GB with 8GB of RAM on both the options available. The lack of a microSD card slot limits storage option which is a bummer if you need lots of space.

Operating System: The phone runs Android 13 out of the box with Samsung's One UI 5.1 on top, Samsung gives 4 to 5 years of regular updates, with the phone being eligible for a Android 17 update. This makes a future proof smartphone with good market brand reputation of Samsung.

Some other important features like IP68 water and dust resistance, Wireless Charging, USB Type C Gen. 3.2. as well as in-screen fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E are a part of Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.

Dimensions: 158 x 76.5 x 8.2 mm, 209 grams. The phone weight is distributed evenly and feels good in hand, according to a review report.

Colour options are Mint, Graphite, and Purple available for S23 FE.

The Galaxy S23 FE is designed after the iconic Galaxy S23 Series. The phone looks beautiful and seems value for money. With premium features and affordable price point one can really get 3 to 4 year uses with latest software updates for 4 years and security updates for 5 years. The phone's has good build quality making it more durable. What we miss in the phone is a Galaxy Pen.

In Box the phone comes without a Charger which seems bad from a buyer's perspective who is spending around ₹36,000 or more. What you get in the box alongside S23 FE is a charging cable.
