Samsung fans were initially disappointed when rumors began to circulate that the company would not be producing a Fan Edition device for its Galaxy S23 series. However, a recent report from SamMobile suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE may still be coming later this year, but with a surprise change under the hood.

Instead of the expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, the Galaxy S23 FE may be powered by an internal Exynos 2200 SoC. This chip is rumored to be a collaboration between Samsung and AMD and is expected to offer impressive performance and graphics capabilities. If this rumor is true, it would be a significant departure from the usual approach of offering different chipsets in different regions and markets.

Other leaked details about the Galaxy S23 FE include a 50-megapixel primary camera, storage options of 128GB and 256GB, and RAM options of 6GB and 8 GB. The device is also expected to come with a 4,500mAh battery and support for 25W fast charging, as seen in previous Fan Edition models.

It’s important to note that these details are all based on rumors and reports, so it’s best to take everything with a grain of salt until Samsung makes an official announcement. However, if the Galaxy S23 FE does end up being released with an Exynos 2200 SoC, it could be an exciting development for Samsung fans who have been waiting for a more powerful Fan Edition device.

The delay in producing the Galaxy S23 FE is likely due to the ongoing chip shortage that has affected the tech industry as a whole. Samsung was forced to allocate enough chips for the development of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which may have led to the cancellation of the Galaxy S22 FE. However, with the Galaxy S23 FE rumored to be coming later this year, it seems that Samsung has found a way to overcome these challenges and deliver another impressive Fan Edition device to the market.
