Having just launched a new variant of Galaxy S21 FE in India with Snapdragon 888, Samsung is now shifting its focus to the next device in the lineup. Oddly enough, all the recent leaks and rumors indicate that it could be marketed as the S23 FE instead of the S22 FE. While its launch date is still a mystery, two recent Geekbench listings have now revealed that Samsung could offer two versions of the device with different chipsets in the US and global markets.
the The first list, which was launched earlier this month, is for a Samsung device with model ID “SM-S711B”. This is likely to be the global variant, and is expected to be sold in Europe, Asia, and other non-US markets. According to the listing, it’s powered by the Exynos 2200 SoC (listed as “s5e9925 motherboard”), which has a triple-cluster architecture and is clocked at a maximum of 2.8GHz. It also has an integrated Xclipse 920 GPU. This particular variant has 8GB of RAM, but it is not clear if Samsung will introduce a higher-end model with more memory.
the latest list It is for a variant codenamed “Samsung SM-S711U1”. Unlike the previous model, this device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is listed on Geekbench as “Motherboard Taro”. This device also has a triple block CPU, but it’s clocked a bit higher, up to 3GHz. Like the Exynos model, this one also has 8GB of RAM. This variant will most likely be the one coming to the US, as indicated by the “U” in its model name. The double listings also show that both variants are running Android 13.
There isn’t much known about the Galaxy S23 FE at this point, but a previous leak suggested that the device could ship with a 50MP main camera — an upgrade over the 12MP primary sensor found on the S21 FE. As far as Geekbench listings are concerned, they are easy to fake, so take it with a pinch of salt for now. However, if the listings are accurate and Samsung goes back to its old ways of offering the same smartphone with different chipsets in different markets, it will be interesting to see how buyers will react to it, because the policy wasn’t really popular earlier when the company launched Android devices.
