Hi everyone, I’m very new here and I only joined for this purpose im sorry, but I’ve recently bought the S23FE because of black friday not knowing about how the s22 is cheaper and a better phone (costs in New Zealand)

I saw a few posts here about it saying its a disappointment and now im panicking, I’m a teenager and my family doesn’t have all too much money to spend and I’ll have to use this phone for at least 3 years.

Please help!

Also I wasn’t sure if this was a support thread post but if it is im sorry, im just really worried right now

    Hey. So if you haven’t unpacked it and you are still eligible for the return policy, leave it like that.

    Secondly, have a look here, specs of the s23 compared to the Fe: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone2=12520&idPhone1=12082 Is there something you might need that the base s23 has? What I’ve noticed is that the Fe uses the same chipset / soc as the S22 so that might be a bummer. After using S7 Edge for 3 years and S10 for 4 years, the base S23 for me was extraordinary at least in the battery compartment and overall snappiness.

    Thirdly - are you a Samsung fan? If not, please search for alternatives from the competition in the same budget range.

    Last but not least - how old are you? If you see yourself working in the next 1 to 3 years then you could start saving some $$$ for a new phone - even flagship level - considering also a trade-in with whatever you get now.

    Do a little bit of more research, don’t rush with any decisions and good luck!
