India was the first country where the Galaxy S23 FE was launched. The device was announced a few weeks ago and has gradually been rolled out in other countries, including South Korea and the United States. The North American version of this phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, while the other version is equipped with an Exynos 2200 chip. The version launched in India uses the Exynos processor, but it looks like the company will also bring a Snapdragon version of the phone to the Indian market.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version of Galaxy S23 FE could launch in India
Samsung has started hinting at the launch of a new mobile phone in India. The company uploaded an image to Flipkart with the caption ‘The New Epic’ written on it. Looking at the artwork, it looks similar to the Galaxy S23 FE. However, since the Galaxy S23 FE has already been launched in India, the company may launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version of the smartphone in India. This is similar to what happened with his Galaxy S20 FE and Galaxy S21 FE in India. However, in that case, the Snapdragon version of the phone was launched at least six months after the launch of the Exynos version.
In the case of the Galaxy S23 FE, it looks like Samsung will launch the Snapdragon version just a few months after the launch of the Exynos version. If this happens, it could upset some Galaxy S23 FE buyers who bought the Exynos version of the phone, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip is slightly more power efficient than the Exynos 2200.
