The trail of the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE had gone quite cold, it didn't show up in 2022 and all, but the latest rumors suggest that the phone is on the way and has a newly developed chipset.
This is from @RGcloudS (Opens in a new tab) on Twitter (via Notebookcheck (Opens in a new tab)) - This is a source we haven't heard much about in the past, so keep that in mind . The tipster says that the Galaxy S22 FE will appear in 2023, replacing the mid-range Galaxy A74 in Samsung's lineup.
It will apparently be powered by an all-new Exynos 2300 chipset developed by Samsung, although other sources have suggested that the Exynos 2300 won't appear in mass-produced devices any time soon.
And a tablet too
If the rumor is true, the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE could appear at a second Unpacked launch event, scheduled in addition to the one we're already expecting in February for the big unveiling of the Galaxy S23 flagship phones.
The same source also suggests that we are going to see a scaled down FE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, with the same Exynos 2300 chipset. See this year.
There's been a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not we'll see an FE version of the Samsung Galaxy S22, and while nothing's official yet, it looks like fans of this budget series might have something to look forward to again.
Analysis: turn on again
The FE, or Fan Edition, of Samsung's flagship phones is something of a tradition: the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Samsung Galaxy S21 FE offered smartphone buyers a decent level of specs without a hefty price tag, which is always a blessing. winning combination.
However, the Galaxy S21 FE arrived later than expected (January 2022, around 15 months after its predecessor) and we've heard a lot of rumors that Samsung has decided to retire the FE line, canceling comparisons to the series. .
When the usual signs of an upcoming smartphone (like database model numbers) didn't show up, it seemed like the Galaxy S22 FE was destined never to show up. In fact, we may be looking for these signs too soon.
There was even talk of the Galaxy S21 FE not seeing the light of day, casting more doubt on a successor. However, the Galaxy S22 FE may be an important part of Samsung's 2023 lineup of phones, if the price is right of course.
