Galaxy S23 FE Rumored To Use Qualcomm’s Older Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 As Samsung Likely To Offer A Competitive Price
Samsung is reportedly working on a new Galaxy S23 FE that will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The phone is said to be launched in select markets, including India.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE is its processor. According to a new report, the phone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. This is a bit of a surprise because the Snapdragon 865 Plus is the company’s current flagship processor.
The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 was used in a few phones last year, including the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 9. It’s a powerful chipset and it offers great performance, but it’s not the latest and greatest from Qualcomm.
The report also says that the Galaxy S23 FE will be launched in India. This is interesting because Samsung typically doesn’t launch its “FE” phones in India. The Galaxy S20 FE was launched in select markets, but it was never released in India.
If the Galaxy S23 FE is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, it’s likely that Samsung will offer a competitive price for the phone. The Snapdragon 865 Plus is a high-end chipset and it’s used in phones that are priced at $999 and up.
The Galaxy S20 FE is priced at $699, so it’s possible that the Galaxy S23 FE will be priced in the same ballpark. We’ll have to wait for more information to be sure, but it seems like the Galaxy S23 FE could be a very interesting phone.
