The South Korean conglomerate did not reveal the Galaxy S21 FE's replacement, but current rumours indicate that the Galaxy S23 FE could be introduced in the second half of 2023. Several S-series features are available on Samsung's Galaxy FE (or Fan Edition) smartphones, although they are more reasonably priced.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, according to tipper Connor (Twitter: @OreXda), will be powered on a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU.  The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is anticipated to be in the majority of flagships in 2023, is Qualcomm's second-most potent chipset after this one.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is also found in devices like the OnePlus 11R, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Asus Zenfone 9, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Oppo Find N2. It's important to note that the firm has yet to formally announce any launch plans for the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.

While a replacement for the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G may not be released in August or September, a recent claim from the Korean website Daily Hanooki suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE could. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and the Galaxy S21 FE are the two Fan Edition series smartphones that the firm has so far released.

The business had previously been rumoured to introduce the Galaxy S22 FE, but the information provided by the source indicated that the upcoming device in the series may have the more recent S23 series nomenclature. 

Earlier this month, at the first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2023, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphones.

The alleged Galaxy S23 FE could have a similar pricing when it is released by the firm as did the Galaxy S21 FE, which had a launch price of Rs. 54,999 in India. As indicated earlier, Samsung has not yet disclosed any intentions to release a new Galaxy FE smartphone following the launch of the Galaxy S23 series.
