Samsung’s Fan Edition releases have been an on-and-off, hot-and-cold affair with the Android-buying audience through the years. The Galaxy Note FE, which put smaller batteries into Note 7s, kicked things off with a limited release while the Galaxy S20 FE turned out to be a surprise success. The Galaxy S21 FE was a decent follow-up, but wasn’t viable given the tight positioning it got in the product release roadmap that year. The company then canceled the Galaxy S22 FE, but insiders have been talking up a Galaxy S23 FE for this year. Fittingly enough, the Korean tech giant has also been hot-and-off, on-and-cold about killing the FE series in a bid to consolidate its product lineup. A new leak, however, suggests Samsung is, indeed, working on the Fan Edition of its 2023 flagship phone with some significant changes in tow.
