A crowded market

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE (US Website) also has some strong competition from the Google Pixel 7 ($999 and just superseded by the $1199 Google Pixel 8 – Made by Google. Brains by Google) and the $999 Motorola ThinkPhone – for thinking people, that is the undisputed class leader in this price bracket. At the $1099 OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G – the class-leading, value flagship matches the 256GB S23 FE price with higher specs.

Still, Samsung has brand credibility and marketing prowess, and you will be pleased – it is not called a Fan Edition for nothing.
