Amazing Value for Midrange Phone
I got this phone on sale for $400 (Black Friday 2023). So far, it’s been very good for the price. The chipset is simply blazing fast. Everything feels snappy on this phone. Opening and closing apps are quick. Animation is smooth and does not stutter. The build quality is amazing and feels good to touch. So good that I did not use case until I first dropped it (more on this later).
One drawback this phone has is battery life. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is power hungry. The battery, while theoretically big, is quickly depleted. I mostly use my phone for navigation (Android Auto wireless), YouTube video playback, browsing on Edge, or social media chatting. My Screen on Time (SoT) life is expected to be 7 hours when fully charged according to AccuBattery Pro app I installed since day one of owning this phone. That is my usage without gaming ever. Expect the battery life to go down to around 4 hours or even less if you game because gaming is extremely taxing on your phone. It also heats up quite quickly, probably because it’s drawing a bit too much power than it should have (inefficient CPU / GPU). One solution I have working for me is by activating Light performance profile under Device Care settings. This decrease the performance unless you’re gaming. For my use case, it’s perfect because it doesn’t overheat anymore. That 7 hours SoT figure is with this profile turned on. Expect it to be around 5.5 to 6 hours SoT without this on.
So about me dropping the phone, it was when I was changing my car’s tires. I was crouching, so when it fell, it was about 12 inches high. The floor was concrete, and it was not clean. This is the worst combination because dust and debris are really abrasive and can easily put lots of dents and scratches on phone. Surprisingly, other than two scratches (one big, and one small), there’s really no other damage. I was using matte screen protector at that time, so when it ended up falling screen down, it did crack the screen protector, but the screen remains flawless to this day. I assumed it fell by its side frame (charging port side), then it fell face down. I did attach the photo so you can judge the amount of damage done by this accident.

Great battery life.
Haven’t tried the face or fingerprint reader, but the phone performs perfectly. Great pictures. Clear voice.

Great phone
Has been a great phone! Sometimes it’s hard to hear during a call. Awesome cameras!! Takes great pictures! (Moon photo was taken with 30x zoom) With the screen protector fingerprint sensor doesn’t work. Battery life is good, as long as not watching a lot of videos. Charges fast with rapid charger!

Excellent phone overall 8/10
Pros:
1) Excellent bright screen.
2) Fast processor. Very speedy.
3) Excellent sound.
Cons:
1) Just one major flaw with this phone and it is its poor battery life. It may last a day at most and seems to drain quite quickly.
Excellent phone overall. I love its big screen and using the latest android. Would recommend: 8 out of 10 stars.

Definitely an upgrade from last one
My old phone was the Samsung Galaxy A13. The Galaxy S23 FE is definitely an upgrade! I LOVE this phone! It’s truly amazing in every way! I love the AI addition they incorporated into this phone. Love the always on display (AOD). I love that it’s water resistant! Battery life is great! I haven’t even scratched the surface on all this phone can do but so far, I’m in love!
Great phone, fairly priced. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic phone for people who want a high tier phone for a lower price
If you can get this on sale like I did for holidays this is definitely worth it. (Bought 256gb version at $500 USD) I’m the type of guy who mostly uses this for calls/texts and light gaming. It can run games like CoD Mobile and Genshin Impact high settings pretty well but I’m not much of a mobile gamer so take that with a grain of salt. As for regular phone use it’ll handle every task you throw at it. The thumbprint reader and facial recognition are both really fast and the phone feels pretty snappy compared to the old GalaxyA50 I used to have. Battery life is above average and I only charge the phone once a day. The phone seems to only heat up during long heavy gaming and generally stays cool.
Other things to keep in mind:
You can still get insurance for this phone like I did through the official Samsung care plan website. I also attached a magsafe case on the phone to make use of magnetic accessories. This way you can wirelessly charge with magnetic chargers and phone stands (very useful for car charging). Also allows me to get magnetic phone rings to hold up my phone without having to use adhesive on my phone case.

Yes!
We got this for my son, and so far it has worked out amazing. This one doesn’t break as easily as all of the others he has had. If you add a case your really covered good! This phone is very user friendly, inexpensive, and the battery lasts a long time. The fingerprint sensor works perfect.
