Samsung continues to stand out with its innovative models. This year, the South Korean giant launched two flagship models: the Samsung Galaxy SE23 and the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. While the Galaxy SE23 FE is presented as a budget but powerful option, the Galaxy S23 positions itself as a premium product. But what are the differences between the two devices? Here are their key technical features in comparison.
The Samsung Galaxy SE23 FE features a slim design with a matte plastic back, while the Galaxy S23 offers a more elegant glass back. The Galaxy SE23 FE is slightly larger and offers a comfortable grip, ideal for those who prefer larger screens. This also makes it a bit more voluminous. The Galaxy S23 FE measures 158 x 76.5 mm compared to 146.3 x 70.9 mm. The more compact Galaxy S23 is also the thinnest, with a profile of 7.6mm compared to 8.2mm. On the scales, the Galaxy S23 FE is the heaviest, weighing 209 grams, compared to 167 grams for the Galaxy S23.
On paper, the Galaxy S23 FE offers greater autonomy thanks to its battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh compared to 3900 mAh. Both devices can be charged wired or wirelessly and also offer reverse charging if necessary.
What are the differences between screens and performance?
When it comes to the display, the Galaxy S23 shines with its Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which offers better resolution and more vibrant colors compared to the Super AMOLED display of the Galaxy SE23 FE. However, as mentioned above, the latter has the advantage of having a display area of 6.4 inches compared to 6.1 inches. The Galaxy S23 offers slightly higher brightness than its current competitor.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S23 runs the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy processor, which has been specially optimized to ensure fast and smooth performance compared to a less powerful, but still quite suitable for everyday use, Samsung Exynos 2200 Soc. When it comes to storage, the Galaxy S23 scores with its 256GB and 512GB options, while the Galaxy SE23 FE is limited to 128GB or 256GB.
Slight differences in the photo sensors between the two smartphones
The configuration of the photo sensors on the back differs slightly between the two Samsung models. Both have an optically stabilized 50-megapixel module with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, but the Galaxy S23 has the advantage of having a telephoto lens that enables 3x optical zoom from 10 megapixels. The Galaxy S23 FE also offers such a sensor, but with 8 megapixels, so ultimately a little less detail. The Galaxy S23 benefits from a 12-megapixel selfie sensor compared to 10 megapixels on the front of the Galaxy S23 FE. The latter is significantly cheaper than the Galaxy S23 and is therefore attractive for anyone looking for a good price-performance ratio. The remaining properties, especially with regard to connectivity, are identical. While the S23 is more expensive, it justifies its price with its premium features and superior performance.
