The presentation of the Galaxy S23 is scheduled for next February 1, the date on which a new “Unpacked” event will be held, a classic by the South Korean giant. Thanks to the numerous leaks that have been produced, we are quite clear about what we can expect from said event, but today a new and interesting rumor has appeared that points to the Galaxy S22 FEand which says that said terminal could also be presented on February 1.
Is this information credible, does it make sense to launch a Galaxy S22 FE in February? Well, the truth is that yes, although a priori it may seem that no, in fact the Galaxy S21 FE was presented on January 7, 2022, just a month before the presentation of the Galaxy S22 family. With this background on the table, it is clear that this rumor has not said anything crazy, rather the opposite, since this terminal would make a lot of sense if it is considered as an “economic” Galaxy, in quotes because in the end we are talking about a high-end smartphone.
What would the Galaxy S22 FE look like? Well, most likely it will maintain the approach that we saw with the Galaxy S21 FE, which means that it would certain concessions in the quality of finishes to reduce the price, and that it would maintain a level of specifications similar to that of the Galaxy S22, although it will end up being somewhat lower.

The first change would be, as we have said, in build quality, And it is that said terminal could be built with an aluminum frame and a plastic back layer instead of the glass layer that the Galaxy S22 brings. This was precisely the approach followed by the South Korean giant with the Galaxy S21 FE.
Second, the Galaxy S22 FE would fit as a high-end terminal, but it would fall below the Galaxy S22 in raw power, since it will use cheaper components to lower the sale price. Among the most important changes in this sense, I would highlight the use of a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC, the same chip that mounts the Galaxy S22, but this would be accompanied by 6 GB of RAM instead of 8 GB. A reduction in its photographic capabilities compared to the Galaxy S22 FE would also make sense.
The rest of the keys that made the Galaxy S22 great should be present, which means that the Galaxy S22 FE will have a Dynamic AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and that will maintain the configuration of 128 GB of storage capacity. We do not have details on the sale price, but it will most likely hit the market with a approximate price of 749 euros in its configuration of 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage capacity.
