It seems as if Samsung is almost ready to launch the Galaxy S23 FE, especially after looking at all the places the phone has appeared. Over the past few days, multiple variants of the Galaxy S23 FE have appeared all over the internet. First, the Exynos version of the Galaxy S23 FE was spotted in Geekbench's database. Its Snapdragon version appeared last week, and now, the Canadian version of the phone has been spotted.

The Galaxy S23 FE for the Canadian market, bearing model number SM-S711W, has appeared in Geekbench's database. Looking at the details, it appears that this version of the phone uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (codename Taro), just like the US version (SM-S711U) of the phone. The phone has 8GB RAM and is running Android 13. If the phone is launched in the next few weeks, it may debut with the One UI 5.1.1 software. Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 FE almost a year after the debut of the Galaxy S21. However, it may not delay the Galaxy S3 FE as much.

Galaxy S23 FE to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip that performs better?

The phone scored 1,567 points in Geekbench 6's single-core test and 3,746 points in the multi-core CPU test. These scores seem better than the Galaxy S22+ running the same test using the same chipset. So, does it mean Samsung has improved the optimization for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor? We can only say for sure once we get our hands on the phone.

Previous reports indicate the Galaxy S23 FE has a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate. It uses the Exynos 2200 chip in Asia and Europe and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the North American market. It could have a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 32MP selfie camera. It is expected to be powered by a 4,500mAh battery.
