New Delhi: Samsung hesitated before releasing the Galaxy S22 Fan Edition model. For the S23 series, it won't be the case. According to reports, the tech giant is getting ready to release the Galaxy S23 FE, which could happen after the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 models. The S23 FE European firmware testing for the brand reportedly began recently.
According to reports, sales of the Galaxy S23 series have dropped this month and are expected to fall even more in Q2. It might fall 20% short of what the S22 series accomplished in 2017.
Customers don't typically purchase expensive smartphones, so Samsung may have chosen to release the S23 FE this year in an effort to draw in customers who value premium hardware at a reasonable price.
