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

    From NZ as well, question did you buy it from PB Tech? If so, and you haven’t taken it out of the box, I think you can return it within a week under the ‘Change of mind’ policy.

    You gotta realize that reddit is a bit of an echo chamber. People arguing that the S23FE is terrible cuz its 0.5% worse than the S22 in some very specific aspect. Any Samsung S series phone of the past 2-3 years will serve you just fine.

    I mean s23 fe isn’t a bad phone. Think about it like s23 plus but not absorbently expensive.

    I have the s23 and it’s been terrible that I’m going back to using the s21. There are so many issues with this phone that none of my other prior Samsung’s didn’t have.

    Charging port doesn’t seem to hold plugs very well, and the overnight charge didn’t work, and yes I’ve tried many chords And all of those cords work on my other phones.

    Sometimes people have trouble hearing me. Call quality is subpar. None of my other prior phones ever had that issue.

    Photos for some reason start duplicating themselves and Samsung’s tech support accidentally deleted the wrong ones so I lost years of photos.

    Internet speed is not that good. I find that I go back to my old phone or tablet and use that one.

    Phone is not even 5 months old yet Wishing I’d never bought it…

    first of all, s22 isnt a better phone. Second of all, you just bought a recently released almost flagship device. Why would you every worry if it cant make it to 3 years later? It obviously will

    Been a Samsung phone user since way before the galaxy line even existed. But I wouldn’t trade my claimed iPad Pro over a tab S

    How much did you end up spending for the S23FE and how much do base S23 retail where you live?
