S23 vs S24FE

[James_N]

Hi all

My Mrs has a Samsung Galaxy S23 currently.

There is a good blue light offer on an S24 FE where you can get £180 trade in for the S23, a further £50 reduction via promo code and a free Galaxy watch.

Making the S24FE £12 a month over two years or £290 odd.

The Mrs battery on the S23 isn't anywhere near as good as it was, so I was wondering if this was a worthwhile upgrade.

I have looked online but most comparisons are between the S23FE and S24FE so not applicable

Many thanks
James

I would just get a new battery. Samsungs website has a maintenance / repair procedure you can follow so you can book with an approved agent.

Not worth dishing out £290 for a S24, let alone a S24FE if you have a S23, unless you really want that watch?

Thanks mate. Not too bothered about the watch. Thought the phone might be a worthwhile upgrade but you have answered my question there so thank you!

Also, would your Mrs want a 6.7 inch phone? I’d find that massive. S23 is a lot smaller. Might be worth an ‘upgrade’ if she moans she finds her current phone too small?

S24+ may be the better option:

Not sure about the 24FE, but the 23FE was (basically) an S22 under the hood, so if the 24FE follows the same formula it won't give you much extra. Depending how old the phone is Samsung might change the battery under warranty if less than 2 years old. Otherwise a new battery is probably the most cost effective option. There are relatively few new features on the S24 over the 23, certainly not enough to warrant an upgrade unless you're desperate.

Thanks for the replies. Not going to bother now. not worth the upgrade
