We should see the Galaxy S22 FE and Galaxy Buds 2 Live soon, says leaker @OreXda, and the news is backed by well-known whistleblower Dohyun Kim.

There is also news that Samsung may ax the mid-range Galaxy A7x series, such as the Galaxy A74. Separately, whistleblower @RGcloudS tweeted yesterday that the S22 FE will replace the Galaxy A74. They also said that the phone will be powered by an Exynos 2300 chip and equipped with a 108MP HM6 main camera, and it will be priced roughly the same as the A73.

The Samsung Galaxy A73 has only been launched in a few countries for around $500. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE starts at $700.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra has been a huge success since its launch earlier this year in February, with annual sales expected to reach around 11 million units. To ensure a steady supply of flagships, Samsung had to make some compromises, and that was to cancel the Galaxy S22 FE. The manufacturer had planned to mass produce about 3 million units of this cost-effective sub-flagship. Unfortunately, the company faces a conundrum as chip supply is already tight this year.

Instead of betting on a product that could fail due to a chip shortage, shoppingmode Samsung decided to take a smarter approach and increase production of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which is already performing well and has become the company’s best-selling smartphone this year.

As many consumers now know, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is powered by either the Exynos 2200 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, both built on shoppingmode Samsung’s 4nm architecture, however, both SoCs have shown disappointing results on multiple fronts. If Samsung uses Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 on the Galaxy S22 FE, a chipset built on TSMC’s superior 4nm technology, sales of the Galaxy S22 Ultra could suffer as consumers will know they are getting a superior performance SoC instead when they buy a less expensive flagship.

With the Galaxy S23 FE arriving in the second half of next year, shoppingmode Samsung is reportedly planning to produce 3 million units, and the Exynos 2300 in the Galaxy S23 FE could stick to the 3nm GAA chip manufacturing process, for which Samsung will try to achieve better yields, while improving performance and power efficiency. Higher yields mean Samsung won’t face a chip supply crunch, which will translate into higher sales if it launches the Galaxy S23 FE early like it did with the Galaxy S20 FE.

Samsung got fans on their feet and jumping for joy with the launch of the S20 FE. This device was the first of its kind, a fan edition for the Galaxy S flagship series. At inception, the FE drew a lot of attention to itself, after the first launch sales and impressions proved positive. The future of the Samsung Galaxy S FE seemed to be bright, but things took an entirely different turn.

It is important to note that the FE or fan edition is a cheaper Samsung flagship device. Despite the price reduction, the original Galaxy S20 FE retains some flagship specifications. But with the launch of the S21 FE things got a bit rocky, the positioning of its launch date did away with its thrill. 

Leaks of the S21 FE began circulating on the internet from the month of June. But last year’s Galaxy FE became available a few weeks before the S22 series launch. Was that bad planning, or a purposeful action? Whatever it was, the S21 FE slowly faded into the shadows while the S22 series took the spotlight. 

Now it seems like Samsung is taking that same route with the S22 FE. At this time of the year, no information or leak is available pointing to the presence of a possible Galaxy S22 FE. We really can’t conclude as to the existence of a certain Samsung Galaxy S22 FE. We will need to see how things unfold in the coming months. Whether Samsung will delay or eliminate the FE variant of the S22 series, we do not know.
