If you're a fan of the best Samsung phones from the Galaxy S series but want something that slots in between the standard model and the Galaxy S23 Plus size-wise while costing less, then the Galaxy S23 FE is the perfect choice. Right now, despite being new to the market, it's already enjoying a notable discount on Amazon too.

The S23 FE has had an unusually staggered launch, arriving in the likes of the US in early October, but only reaching UK and European shores in December. As such, you'll find the best discounts on this latest FE in the US, with Amazon offering $100 off both the 128GB and 256GB storage models, while Samsung itself is serving up to $350 on accepted trade-ins.

As with previous members of the FE line, the S23 FE serves to give you the look and feel of the company's current flagship phone experience for less. At 6.4-inches it's also the Goldilocks choice for those who find the standard Galaxy S23's 6.1-inch display too diminutive (or just want a bigger battery) or think the 6.6-inch S23 Plus is just too big (or you're not bothered by the latest silicon and 45W fast charging).

You can also pick up the S23 FE in a different assortment of colors to its siblings. However, the deal we're highlighting here does seem to be selling out quickly, with some colors already out-of-stock for the time being.
