Just a couple of days after it was first announced abroad, the official price and availability details of the Galaxy S23 FE in the Philippines have already been unveiled.
For a quick recap, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE we’ll be getting here will have an Exynos 2200 octa-core processor. There’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version, but it will be exclusive to the United States.
The rest of the specs list are quite high-end. We have a fancy, compact 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, similar to what we find in proper Galaxy flagships.
Keeping the lights on is a 4,500mAh battery, paired with 25W wired and wireless charging. It runs on the latest Android 13-based One UI 5.1, and will most likely receive the One UI 6.0 update once it’s available.
We also have a capable 50-megapixel OIS-equipped main camera on the back, joined by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and an 8-megapixel sensor with a 3x telephoto lens.
As a cherry on top, Samsung threw in an under-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, and IP68-rated dust and water resistance.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE comes in two variants, both with 8GB of RAM. The 128GB option retails for Php36,990 while the 256GB variant costs Php39,990. It will be available starting October 20, 2023.
