Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S23 FE, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen or Exynos 2200 depending on regional models. It appears, however, that this Exynos 2200 on the S23 FE outperforms the Exynos 2200 on last year’s Galaxy S22 lineup.
After months of rumors, Samsung finally debuted the Galaxy S23 FE last week. The budget premium phone, for some reason, though is powered by last-gen chipsets, in the form of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Exynos 2200—depending on regions. Admittedly, the Exynos 2200 is a known quantity, featuring on last year’s Galaxy S22 series across Europe, but it has still been tested nevertheless, to get an idea of how it performs on the new Galaxy S23 FE.
As tested by RON TEK, it does seem like the Exynos 2200 on the Galaxy S23 FE outperforms the Galaxy S22 series’. On Geekbench 6.2, the S23 FE pulls in a single-core score of 1612 and a multi-core score of 4005. Comparatively, trawling through Geekbench’s database shows a Galaxy S22 Ultra, also with an Exynos 2200, recording scores of 1269 and 3784 in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively. Those numbers translate into about a 15% bump in performance across both iterations of the Exynos 2200.
It’s a similar matter on AnTuTu benchmark. The Galaxy S23 FE hits a CPU score of 329,165, and a GPU score of 437,040. Like with Geekbench, those also represent upgrades on the Galaxy S22 series, with AnTuTu’s leaderboard listing the Galaxy S22 Ultra with a CPU score of 305,069, and a GPU score of 312,522. A CPU improvement of less than 10% but a massive 30% jump in GPU performance.
That said, though, the Exynos 2200 on the Galaxy S23 FE still struggles with sustained performance under load, throttling by around 25% in stress tests. As tested by Android Authority, the Galaxy S22 Ultra throttled by over 30% across both CPU and GPU tests, though, so it appears the Galaxy S23 FE also does a bit better in this aspect.

These are the benchmark scores of the Galaxy S23 FE running Exynos 2200.
It does look like Samsung has optimised this phone (and the addition of the Vapour Chamber Cooling System might help too), but some scores are lower than what the average Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/8+ Gen 1 would… pic.twitter.com/CbSxucSrNm

I like tech, simple as. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. The rest of the time, I’m either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. I worked as both a journo and freelance content writer for a couple of years before joining the Notebookcheck team in 2017. Feel free to shoot me some questions on Twitter or Reddit if it so tickles thine fancy.
