Mostly a fantastic phone
on December 22, 2023
Posted by: Mistral
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the S23FE (SD 8gen1 ver.) for a few weeks now and I think I've gotten used to it as it has me and my usage. For the most part, it's a great phone. I upgraded from the S20 5G mostly for the flat screen, but also for One UI 6. I do miss having an SD card slot but I'll eventually get a NAS box since it seems Samsung makes connecting the phone to that pretty simple.
Pros of the S23FE:
- Beautiful big-enough screen and display (go team flat screen!) Also nice back color
- nice cameras
- can run games pretty well for the most part, I play emulated games and the phone runs them great.
- battery lasts a long time for me, even when gaming
- for me, the phone hasn't gotten hot yet. I know thermal management is an issue with this phone but I haven't run into it

Cons:
- there is a sliiight lag sometimes when scrolling in adaptive mode, also when playing FGO there's been stutters here and there. Not sure why.
- heavy, sometimes uncomfortable to hold if there's a bulky case on it

Anyways that's my review, I plan on using this phone for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is super responsive and snappy. It just updated to U.I 6 which I'm also loving. Plays all the games I have downloaded with no lag or latency issues. Couldn't be happier with my Samsung S23 FE.

Fantastic build for daily driver ; Iffy specs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is fantastic as a daily driver, it has a excellent build, even if I'm not a fan of back glass, it feels sturdy and has a nice heft to it. The camera is more recessed and less buldging as each phone passes - it looks more natural. The screen is pretty great, 1080p is really all you need on a phone, and the vibrancy of the display, along with the 120hz, really fill in for the displays shortcomings, which are few. The battery is good, it lasts the day and will do fine with a bit of gaming and use throughout the day. The processor choice is the only gripe with this phone. While the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 might be powerful, it's a really power hungry processor, and can heat up a lot. All other aspects of the phone pass for me. It's an incremental upgrade, but not a bad one.

Decent phone
on December 21, 2023
Posted by: HappyGoGetter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S23 FE is fairly decent. A nice upgrade from my beloved S9+.
Easy to setup and use. Picture quality is great with nice editing options. Navigating is easy with assisted built-in functions.
Sound quality is relatively reasonable.
When transferring my data, I was confused why my power button stopped working though and was taken over by Bixby. Searching to figure out how to change this was annoying. I'm also not a fan of the removal of the status light for notification reminders. I had to download a separate app for this which seems silly. And the same complaint as many with the 3.5mm jack being removed. Technology may be moving on, but let's not force everyone to go with it when they aren't ready.
Overall though, it's a great option for Samsung at a very reasonable price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's for personal use and to watch movies. The screen resolution is the feature that I like the most as well as the size and the design. I forgot the side bar, I simply love it.
