Samsung has a lot of phones on sale at the moment, and while I think you're better off with the likes of the Pixel 7a — which is down to just $374 — I get that not everyone wants to switch phone brands. If you've used Samsung phones for a while now and are comfortable with the feature-set that One UI offers, there's a good chance that you'll only consider a Samsung phone when upgrading. And that's okay — the best part of using Android is the choice, and Samsung has plenty of options available.
The best Samsung phone that you can buy at the moment is the Galaxy S23 FE. Obviously, it isn't as good as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but it doesn't cost $1,299 either — in fact, the S23 FE is now selling for just $399, a full $200 off its launch price. That makes it a terrific value, particularly when you consider that the phone launched just over a month ago.
