Anonymous, 04 Apr 2026Only if you want very outdated 5 yr old camera hardware. Just buy another brand altogether.Well I use camera very rarely. Not a problem for me. But other brands have horrible user interface and bad update support. That's why I will buy samsung again. As for iphone I simply don't like their limited features and restrictions.

Besides, the other commenter was talking about physical size. We all know theres bigger devices out there but some us dont want to daily drive a bigger device.

Phones like Vivo X300 and Xiaomi 17 are 24g heavier. That's a significant and very noticeable difference.
The Chinese phones have zero 3rd party case support.
The cameras are bigger, but so is the camera hump...and all that for not that big of a difference in image quality.
The batteries are 50% larger, but the Vivo has only 2% better battery life, whereas the Xiaomi has 20% more endurance.
On the other hand the Galaxy, despite all its flaws, has much better video recording, a much much much much much better software experience, better and longer support, and much better resale value. Also, the CN phones are CN exclusive and have to be imported, have zero support, horrible Chinese software and no warranty.

Not a single phone comes close to it, both in size and weight.
EVERY OTHER PHONE is heavier and larger.
The only phone better is iPhone 13 mini.

And yet, it doesn't matter. The base S phone is still uniquely relevant. None of what you said detracts from that. As such it's still sold in millions.
For many people it's size and weight outweigh (pun (not) intended) everything else.

India and China does not have this problem and they together constitute more than half of the smartphone market in the world in terms of numbers.

I'm sorry, but I write comments, not insanely long gibberish filled essays. You are in the wrong place, a comment section of an article is for comments, not new articles, especially not ones that you write.

The Android Freak, 04 Apr 2026Ultra is good but not best enough. Samsung's Ultra model can barely hold a Vivo X300 Pro or Oppo Find X9 Pro; if it has to face another Ultra model, then the situation becomes laughable.

LF Six, 03 Apr 2026I'd rather not buy a Samsung hahaha Ultra is good but not best enough.
LF Six, 03 Apr 2026It has to be very crazy to buy a Samsung FE model, base model or S model plus. I agree. iQOO 15/Vivo X200T is better phone than this crap.

gozdii, 04 Apr 2026Why not the 8 gen 5 (non elite)? Its literally meant for lower flagship territoryThen how about their 50% profit margins, are you mad? I think they should put Dimensity 6400 on next FE, otherwise I am not sure they will able to sustain the grow of 55% profit margins π.

voulon42, 03 Apr 2026Same amount of RAM as a midrange from 2020 for way over 500β¬, no thanks Samsung.My phone has 16GB and it is 2023 model. Last model I had with 8GB was S10 from 2019. 8GB should be standart only for most cheapest 100 euro phones. 16GB should be midrange standart with anything from 350 euros and up and 24GB should be flagship standard, that's how these shitty companies like Apple or Samsung screwing entire industry by stagnating RAM capacity increases.

the whole point of the 'FE' was that it was supposed to be a flagship killer
s20fe had flagship specs but for much cheaper. yeah they did cheap out on camera/build but thats the way to cut costs
by going for last year's flagship you would think the phone would become more balanced since samsung has more money for cameras/build etc but nope

DarlingYext, 03 Apr 2026Basically, but with less RAM, than the highest tier variant of the Galaxy A35. Absolute joke.If you can't string more than 78 characters together & use the same MO, select one feature and pretend that's the only difference. Absolute Joke an apt description of another post.

The S2* FE [3] memory configuration top 512Gb.
8Gb Ram standard......
Samsung recently increased the top tier Ram to 12Gb A35 and A55 both March 2024! (256Gb memory).
The S2* FE is another Samsung alternative to the dual camera Apple IPhone. 2024 appears be a popular year for change, the iPhone 16 increased ram to 8Gb from 6Gb.
"Basically, but with less RAM, than the highest tier variant of the Galaxy A35. Absolute joke"
Phone Comparison proves the comment is pure fiction antithetical to Samsung.
