8.1/10 10 Oct 2023

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE offers impressive specifications such as an AMOLED 120Hz display, a triple-camera setup, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The primary 50MP sensor on the device captures excellent images. Also, the Exynos 2200 equipped with the device offers good performance. However, the phone has a slow charging speed and it doesn't come with a charger. Overall, the S23 FE is a good option if you are looking for a clean software experience, good cameras, and great performance.

8.6/10 by Vanshika Malhotra | 05 Mar 2025

The Nothing Phone (3a) is a good successor to the Phone (2a) and offers good performance and display experience. The NothingOS is great as usual and the design stands out for sure. The display is also great, making it a perfect sub-Rs 25,000 phone right now.
