From the thumbnail i thought the phone was wearing a puffy jacket.
the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE in the US has now launched at a price of $629, up $30 from the price Samsung previously said it was. That’s not really a big increase, but it’s absolutely bizarre to see the retail price of a phone change between its announcement and its actual release, especially when those are only a few weeks apart. Today’s launch has also revealed pricing for the 256GB model at $690, a price Samsung previously hadn’t mentioned.
Well that’s disappointing. It has the processor from the S22; that’s almost two years old. Seems like a downgrade from previous FE phones.
This focus on speed in processors and phones, I think, is silly. They need to have good speed and great build. Having the absolute-latest tech, I just don’t see it as essential.
I strongly disagree with this argument. Yes, you don’t need the absolute latest stuff, but selling stuff that’s 3 years out of date, in this field specifically, is a scam. Whether you want it or not, the tech behind your apps moves on, and buying something old today moves you that much closer to inevitable deprication of your device
