Although not explicitly mentioned, the teaser, with the text “The New Epic” and “Coming soon,” strongly suggests the imminent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE’s Snapdragon variant in India.
The Galaxy S23 FE is currently available in India with the Exynos 2200 SoC, and the addition of the Snapdragon variant offers consumers an alternative choice.

The smartphone boasts a versatile camera setup, including a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, an 8MP telephoto lens, and a 10MP selfie camera.
