For all its innovation, Samsung is still the brand even its fans love to hate. If you don’t believe me, try uttering words like “Bixby” or “Exynos” in mixed company and see the sour faces appear. It’s with a spoonful of sugar, then, that I will report rumors that the upcoming Galaxy S23 FE ‘Fan Edition’ bargain phone will use a Samsung Exynos 2200 chipset, according to a Sammobile.com report.
A phone with a likely Galaxy S23 FE model number, SM-S711B, was spotted on Geekbench on Thursday. Phones on Geekbench report their internal specs, and this phone carries a motherboard that houses a Samsung-branded Exynos chipset. That sent the phone world into a tizzy as Samsung fans panicked over being offered a bargain handset with a cheaper processor inside.
