  • New Geekbench listings indicate that the Galaxy S23 FE will draw its power from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the U.S. and an Exynos 2200 chipset in other markets.

  • Samsung's Exynos 2200 SoC was previously criticized for poor energy efficiency compared to its Snapdragon counterpart, but the company may have addressed this concern.

  • The phone is expected to make its debut in the third quarter of this year as a cheaper version of Samsung's latest flagship series.

I hate Samsung for doing this. I have a S21 FE Exynos in my house, the battery will not make it through the end of the day. The phone is always low on battery. The standby battery drain overnight is also noticable. To add burn to the injury, they are releasing the Snapdragon variant of the S21 FE now in my country, 18 months after the exynos variant was launched.

Why does Samsung keep doing this? Why do non US markets keep getting the shittier exynos models? We are the testing sheep for the Exynos chips while US gets the better stable models at also at a lower price. They SD phones are simply better in battery, OS stablility and Camera quality.

The only spec I care about is knowing if it supports micro SD cards

As well as audio jack

Just give up already and buy a Sony phone. My Xperia 1V is great.

[-] reclipse@lemdro.id 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think it will have micro SD.

[-] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Does anybody know why?

[-] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

They've just always done this. I think it has something to do with not having enough snapdragons for demand

[-] reclipse@lemdro.id 3 points 11 months ago

This way they get to make more money??

[-] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

but why?

There are no bad products, just bad prices. If the exynos is 500€ or less I see no reason the be mad.

[-] reclipse@lemdro.id 6 points 11 months ago

There are definitely bad products.

[-] Unpopular4810@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

If they are not bad enough, why do they not realease the exynos variants in the US?

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Because they would have to pay Qualcomm a royalty per phone sold, due to a lawsuit from the 90s

They shipped the galaxy S6 with exynos in the US in spite of the royalty, because the loss from the fees was outweighed by having a more reliable, efficient and cooler chip (oh how times have changed)
