Depends on the phone. My Realme GT2 PRO has extensive vapor cooling to deal with the sd8gen1 heat issues and the battery life is superior. With a heaped together Samsung FE I wouldn't hold my breath. I bet it will throttle and fry an egg
At first, I regretted getting the base s23 and not waiting for the s23 FE, but hearing that the s23 FE has a snapdragon 8gen1, I no longer regret my decision lol.
@@jeremyherr40 I got the base S23 on Prime Day, so I only paid $659 for the 256gb variant. I’d only want the FE for the larger screen size, but the 8gen1 chip isn’t worth it for me.
It's kinda crazy that the snapdragon 8 gen 1 is terrible on the Samsung 23 fe. I have the oneplus 10 pro. it has the snapdragon 8 gen 1 and the battery is awesome I get 8 hours screen on time easy. I think that the samsung fe is not optimized well. I could be wrong. but my oneplus 10 pro it's been one of the best phones I've ever owned
How is it now I want to get 1AOnePlus 10 pro I currently have a Galaxy S10 I have the Galaxy S21 as well but I've tried pixel phones. I've also had the pixel 4 a the pixel 5. And I've also had the Galaxy S20+ I get a lot of phones but I just sell them so I did want to try out OnePlus phone. And I was wondering how's the battery life? What do you use it for I mean, the use minds for Facebook for my business, TH-cam and then Amazon so for Chrome and that's really it. I do some gaming now but I'm considerate but oh yeah. My main thing is, I want the battery life to last because I will buy all used phones. But I'm considering buying a new. 10 pro because it comes with the super book charger. And I wanna try that out. I just wanna know what phone have you had before? And how do you compare the camera? The battery life, the speed, and the sound quality. When you're watching, you know videos? Because those are my main things. I really like pixels urges. You're just super fast and to real issues with them. I like Samsung it's just easy to pick up. I haven't had an iPhone yet, but I'm going to pick up a iPhone 11 or 11. Pro to test it out because like I said. I cell phones so I wanna be able to discuss that or with my client
Shiny ring around front facing camera was the same thing they did on s20 fe (not sure about s21 fe) but it helps differentiate the lineup and create an obvious bezel

Thank you for doing this. It's been quite a confusing search because the exynos version was launched earlier. I'm very interested in this phone, especially since this is much cheaper. I'm worries about battery life for sure. Can you compare this one's battery life to the S23 or S23 Plus?
Theyve also optimized the soc more . At least on the exynos version . According to tech community. I see this phone as the what the s22 should of been With a slightly worse telephoto camera
A lot of people seem to like the FE series but I side with you on this one. I miss the old Samsung, the one I feel died after the Galaxy S10. They used to be so innovative and feature packed, but I feel like they took Motorola's budget phone business model and Apple's premium phone business model and decided "why not both?" The worst part is it seems to be working.
You mean alot of paid youtubers right. See its like 95 percent anf above of good review s23fe video are full of affiliated link. "Pretender honest" Floosy included
just got ours and i prefer a heavier product "just feels like a quality product" love the metal bezel as it makes me feel like it might sustain a fall/etc better. as for the metal ring around the front camera, I kinda like it aesthetically . finally retiring out moto z play phones " they have been awesome phones just no more updates and had them for 7 years". will see how these go. love your content and thanks for the thorough review.
The processor is much more powerful on the S23 FE. Display is also a lot brighter on FE, 1450 nits vs 1000 on A54. The A54 will have better battery life.
@@chickenandshrimp1338 was “dead wrong” a pun, or serious? I don’t know whether to be impressed or offended. Also obviously it’s better than the A54. That’s like being surprised a Lexus is nicer than a Honda civic 😂

In the Russian review it had the Exynos 2200. I felt you were better off buying an A54. Still dont understand why they're calling this a flagship worthy of the "S" moniker
Yeah, like you commented down below someplace the OnePlus 11 is a no brainer at this price point. I had that piece of crap s21fe for about 3 weeks and then sent it right back to Amazon.
They did't even fix the camera issues on 23 series ("we'll fix it with updates"), using my S23U since it was released - it's pretty disappointing when it comes to cameras. So much that I regret buying the device. And they come out with "fan edition" LOL Just don't buy it

Great stuff. Well it does have a telephoto camera but the 4k/30fps video is a gut punch. What the hell Samsung?? Pretty much means you'll be shooting 1080/60 for decent video. Flagship chip and only 4k/30 seems like a major oversight. Idk
Apparently it does 4K60 front and back if you go into the camera and look, unless that’s an Exynos 2200 thing and it doesn’t on that one. On the US model with the SD8G1 it does 4K60 front and back but GSMarena says it doesn’t which is odd.
@@TechOdyssey that makes much more sense. Looking forward to the camera review. Probably won't compete with the pixel in that dept but it should certainly be a hell of a gamer as long as it doesn't melt down.
I have the S21 FE which you have given a positive review to, so this phone definitely does not seem like any kind of upgrade from that. LOL.@@TechOdyssey

The problem with vapor cooling is that while it curbs throttling, it does not help battery life. The inefficiency remains, the heat is just moved.
Correct. Which is why I’m still concerned about the battery life and have to test it.

Yeah I think s22 line stopped manufacturing early due to lack of demand. Like s21s was probably better than s22
S23u should be extended in updates. The chip can handle it.
I agree - and they still may. When they originally increased the updates to 4-5 years they made it retroactive for some
Updates until Android 17/2027, after which security updates for a year or two.
