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.

7.9/10 by Shimul Sood | 20 May 2024

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE features a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a pleasing viewing experience. Powered by the Exynos 2100 SoC, the phone performs admirably. Games like BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile run smoothly, adding to the entertainment value. The stereo speakers on the S21 FE produce excellent sound quality, which is a bonus. In terms of battery life, the phone houses a 4500mAh battery, lasting almost a day with light to moderate usage. Regarding the cameras, there’s a 12MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera on the rear. For selfies, there’s a 32MP front-facing camera. Daylight shots are vibrant and detailed, but the ultra-wide camera lacks autofocus. The selfie camera captures natural photos with consistent skin tones. Low-light photography on this device brightens images, sometimes excessively. Overall, the Galaxy S21 FE ticks most boxes with a few drawbacks. If you’re looking for a smartphone with solid performance, a premium design, and excellent battery life, then the S21 FE is worth considering.
