Galaxy Buds FE bring Samsung's industry-leading sound experience to more users.

When it is time for immersive entertainment, Galaxy Buds FE are the perfect companions. Auto Switch intelligently switches sound between your smartphone, tablet, and even watch and TV - based on your usage with no manual adjustments required. Also, SmartThings Find helps you track down misplaced Buds and also sound an alarm should they be left behind.

All these devices and connectivity capabilities uphold Samsung's commitment to providing secure and private experiences. Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series are backed by Samsung Knox protection, meaning personal information is kept that way, by default.

Mindfully Crafted for the Planet
With the latest FE devices, Samsung advances its commitment to the environment by scaling its latest purposeful innovations throughout the ecosystem.

$450 for a tablet that doesn't have OLED in almost the year 2024? no beuno good sir, have a good day samsung but you will not be getting my money

If you use the Dexxcom G6 glucose app for diabetics or any critical app I don't recommend a FE variant phone. Someone I know switched from LG to Samsung and got the FE and the Dexxcom app said the FE model wasn't supported yet so they had to get the mainline version.

I imagine if the Exynos 2200 works more stable on a larger device like a tablet, it would be a better SOC than the SD if it weren't for the initial problems in the manufacturing process.

This is likely because the app is tested against specific models and being on the medical field, they blacklist everything that they can't fully support (legal liability). The mainline and Fan Edition models usually have different model numbers.

I bought my mom a S20 FE some 3 years ago. Solid phone.

Also for the price of tab S9 FE+ you can get tab S9(post discounts with slightly smaller screen but better in every other aspect). Pricing simply doesnt make sense.

Not buying any Samsung products with an Exynos processor

 

[P4-630]

On a Dutch site I read it comes with an "Exynos 2200"... (for Europe at least)...

I'm happy with my S23 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2...

 

[bonehead123]

SD rulz, Exynos droolz....

Aside from the lack of a snapdragon, the battery is still too small. Where are the 7000 nah batteries from your middle eastern and European models Samsung? Why do Americans always get screwed over on capacity?

 

[Dahita]

I'm still on my Galaxy Tab S1. OLED screen is still working perfectly, and I have used it every single night to fall asleep while watching The Office since 2015. Well worth spending the extra money to get the best experience out of movies and shows.

Us poor EU saps get exynos, while over the pond you get the SD, No fair. S21 5g btw

 

[Dr. Dro]

I wish they would update the Galaxy XCover series with an OLED and add a nice Snapdragon 7 or similar midranger chipset on it. After I learned of those I am seriously impressed, removable battery, ruggedized build, kind of want one. The latest version has the Snapdragon 778G in it, the same SoC used in the Galaxy A73, which is not too bad but not exactly state of the art.

I have a quad lock case on my S21 5g, first time i used it on my bike, i never clicked it on my cycle mount correctly, and it skittered down the road, no damage. But i have to say, i do like the Xcover phones. What's the highest specced one they make?

Pretty much. They carried around the LG phone just to use the app while waiting for Dexxcom to update for the FE but months went by and Dexxcom never did anything.
I'm just warning people that use any critical apps like that to only use mainline phones. I'm not sure how Dexxcom handled the cheaper models like the A series from Samsung but the mainline Galaxy phones seem to get quick support.

 

[trsttte]

Nothing like stealing google's thunder

I don't really care for the LCD panel, I even prefer it, I'd just like if they used a more square aspect ratio like ipads. 16:10 is still too wides creen especially at 12'' like on FE plus.

Cheaper phones likely do not get any support at all. I have a device like this in my household, I think it's mom's latest generation Accu-chek, might be wrong here, I know for sure it's a health monitoring device though. It doesn't work with her phone but works with Dad's super old banged iPhone 6S.

My Accu-chek is an old Active model, works great though so I kept it.

That'd be the one I mentioned, the XCover 6 Pro with the 778G.
