Recent rumors suggest Samsung may launch the next F phone E in 2023. It may come in the summer at Samsung’s second unpacked event and pack Exynos processors.
It’s been a couple of years since Samsung started a tradition of launching “FE” (Fan Edition) versions of its Galaxy S series devices. The first FE-branded Galaxy S series smartphone released by Samsung was the Galaxy S20 FE — announced back in September 2020. The handset ended up selling in decent numbers and went on to become a popular smartphone. While Samsung had every intention to launch a successor to the Galaxy S20 FE, the chip shortage and pandemic-invoked troubles led to a delayed arrival of the Galaxy S21 FE. Samsung initially planned to launch the Galaxy S21 FE by August/September 2021. However, they ended up delaying the launch until January 2022 — just a few weeks before the Galaxy S22 lineup arrived.
The delayed arrival of the Galaxy S21 FE had several consequences. First, it was quickly overshadowed by the Galaxy S22 series that launched just a few weeks later.
