- Samsung originally said the Galaxy S23 FE would cost $600.
- While Samsung marks the carrier versions at $600, the unlocked version is listed at $630.
- Samsung has now confirmed that the unlocked version costs $630 on its site, but you can still get the unlocked version for $600 from its retail partners.
Yesterday, general availability opened up for the Galaxy S23 FE. When the $600 smartphone appeared on Samsung’s store page, however, the site said the unlocked model was $630. Samsung has now confirmed the unlocked version is $30 more expensive on its site, but not when you purchase the model from its retail partners.
When the Galaxy S23 FE was announced earlier this month, Samsung stated that the handset would start at $600. This made the latest Fan Edition phone $100 less than the base model Pixel 8. But when the listing went live on Samsung’s site, it was discovered that only the carrier models were selling for $600, not the unlocked version.
