Prices of flagship phones blew past the $1,000 mark a few years ago and unlike, say, the Asian market, the US doesn’t have a wide selection of “flagship killers”. But the right model at the right discount could be a great deal. The new Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is down to $600 and you get a $100 Amazon Gift Card with that. When we say “new”, we should mention that it uses last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. On the plus side, you get Samsung’s long term software support (4 OS updates so it will get Android 17 and will get security patches until late 2028). There’s also DeX, the desktop environment hiding inside One UI – just plug in an external display. This year the S23 FE also includes a 50MP main camera, up from 12MP on last year’s FE. There is an 8MP 3x telephoto module as well as a 12MP 123° ultra wide, plus a 10MP selfie. The 4,500mAh battery supports 25W wired-only charging.
