Samsung Galaxy S23 FE
Samsung's greatest-hits sampler for $599: a 6.4-inch 120Hz AMOLED, IP68, wireless charging and a real 3x telephoto. The Exynos 2200 is the compromise - it runs warm and lands well behind the S23's Snapdragon.
Pros
- Flagship-grade 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X
- 3x optical telephoto and 50MP OIS main camera
- IP68 plus 15W wireless charging at mid-range money
- 4500mAh battery outlasts the standard S23
Cons
- Exynos 2200 runs hot and throttles under load
- 25W charging with no charger in the box
- 209g feels heavy for a 6.4-inch phone
