If you are reluctant to use the Google Play Store on your Android device, you can always check out third-party marketplaces like APKMirror, Softonic, and F-Droid for the latest versions of your favourite apps. One of the advantages of using third-party marketplaces is that they also let you download older versions of the apps. This cannot be done on the Google Play Store. Before you install the downloaded APK on your Android device, make sure to allow installations from unknown sources in device settings.

The case weighs about 38 grams, which is with the earbuds inside that are 4g each. The lid bears the Truke logo. It will attract some fingerprints and smudges on the shell and upper glossy portion of the earbuds, however can be quickly wiped too. Right in the middle, there is an LED light, while the bottom has a USB port to charge the case. The entire charging casing is constructed of plastic.
The lid can be easily opened with one hand and is not overly light. The earbuds are within it, safely tucked into their assigned left and right slots. The case includes magnets inside it to hold the earphones in place.
The buds have small stems that have LED indicators and the company’s logo is engraved on them. Although the earbuds are exceptionally light and comfy to use, we occasionally felt a little uncomfortable for extended listening sessions. The earbuds come with two additional sets of interchangeable silicone ear tips, too.
Each of the earbuds has a total of three microphones for improved call quality and noise cancellation. Since the earbuds have an IPX5 rating, they should be fine with light splashes and sweat, but avoid entirely submerging them in water while swimming or engaging in any other water sports. Additionally, bear in mind that the casing lacks an IP certification, so keep it dry and secure.
Over that, it includes Bluetooth 5.3, the most recent version, for more consistent connectivity. Then Dual-Pairing Technology onboard allows you to open the lid and you will see a pairing pop-up on your Android phone click to pair. The dual connectivity allows you to easily switch between a smartphone and a laptop.
Regarding comfort and fit, we can mark that they were quite well-snugged and effectively blocked the majority of passive sound. They are also incredibly light and pleasant to wear but not for extended periods of time, as said. We shook our heads to see if they fell off. We can confirm that they can fall off but make sure you have the correct size silicone tips because it will significantly affect how they fit and, eventually, how they sound.
Talking about the battery performance Truke Clarity Five comes with a 500mAh battery that is claimed to provide 80 hours of playback time. Each earbud has a 40mAh battery. In our testing, the device was able to provide 3 days of playback as we particularly used them for 4 to five hours daily at 70 per cent volume but this can be stretched more depending on your usage. With the case, the battery is said to last for 80 hours.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE gets a glass back (Corning Gorilla Glass 5) which is a significant upgrade from the plastic panel on the S21 FE. For a smartphone priced at Rs 60,000 in 2023, anything less would be a compromise. There are three colour options on offer – Mint, Graphite, and Purple. We got the Mint variant for this review. The pastel colour theme works very well for the smartphone, even though some may find it a bit pale. If that’s the case with you, the Graphite and Purple variants would be more up your alley.
The vertical camera array has been the common theme for all Samsung smartphones this year, from the flagship S series to the M, F, and A series. This universal design language robs individual smartphones of their unique personality. Since Samsung’s Fan Editions are based on the flagship S Series lineup from their respective year, a new design for them is out of the question. The Galaxy S23 FE gets aluminium rings around the camera bumps. If you compare the back panel of the S23 FE with the regular S23, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any differences apart from their size.
The chunky aluminium frame on the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is similar to the one we saw on the Galaxy A54 a few months ago. This frame has a matte finish in contrast to the glossy back panel. A sleeker frame would have massively amped up the ‘premium’ factor of the smartphone and brought it closer to the flagship segment. The right side of this frame houses the volume rocker and the power/Bixby key. The USB Type-C port, primary microphone, and speaker grille are positioned at the bottom edge. The left side of the frame is left bottomless while the SIM card slot and the secondary microphone lie at the top edge. The smartphone’s earpiece doubles up as a stereo speaker.
As you’d expect with a Samsung offering, the Galaxy S23 FE’s display is one of the best in its segment. It gets a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X unit with a 120Hz refresh rate. This display can reach a peak brightness of 1,450 nits under direct sunlight, which is an improvement over the Galaxy S21 FE. In comparison, the entry-level Galaxy S23 can reach 1,750 nits. The touch response and fluidity of this display are as good as its flagship counterpart. Scrolling through the interface and switching between different apps is a seamless experience. The display registers even the faintest of touches and its touch response rate is unmatched in this price segment.
Consuming Full HD content on this display is a very enjoyable experience. The videos pack a lot of detail and are tuned to perfect in terms of contrast and dynamic range. The 1,080 x 2,340p resolution is not the highest we’ve seen in this segment, but the image optimisation on this display does not make you feel like you’re missing out on anything. Surprisingly, there is no HDR support for Netflix on this smartphone. This is certainly not ideal, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker for us.
The only complaint we have is with the thickness of the bezels surrounding the display. Samsung loyalists will know what we’re talking about as this issue is prevalent across every series bar the flagship S23 lineup. The bezels on the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE get thicker around the chin, which is certainly not ideal given the smartphone’s price tag and costs it some brownie points in our review.
On the bright side, the smartphone gets an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. While we didn’t dunk the device in a glass of water, it was unfazed by minor splashes and light rainfall. Samsung claims that the S23 FE is water resistant up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes.
On paper, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE performs decently, scoring 1,379 points on the single-core test and 3,606 points on the multi-core test on the Geekbench 6 app. However, in everyday use, the smartphone runs a little warm even while carrying out the most basic of tasks. We noticed the temperature of the phone rose after taking a few photographs under direct sunlight. The device warmed up even more drastically while recording 8K resolution videos. Heating issues aside, we did not come across any unwanted lags or stutters while using the smartphone. Routine tasks like web browsing, media playback, instant messaging, and video calling were handled with expertise.
There is some bad news for gamers, however. The thermal management issues become even more prominent while playing games like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile. It takes around 10-15 minutes of gameplay for the smartphone to warm up. Not something you’d expect of a device in this price range. While we didn’t experience any major stuttering or frame drops during gameplay, the fluidity and seamlessness we were expecting were not delivered by the smartphone.
OS duties on the S23 FE are handled by Android 13 and One UI 5.1. There is a hint of bloatware in the form of Netflix, Facebook, Spotify, and a bunch of Microsoft apps. The good news is that the smartphone gets flagship-exclusive features like Samsung DeX and Knox security. On top of that, you also get privacy features like Secure Folder and Private Share. One UI also offers some cool video call effects, which allow users to change their background to a monochromatic colour, blur, or a different image on WhatsApp, Google Meet, and Facebook calls. Samsung promises 4 years of major OS upgrades and 5 years of security upgrades that are only surpassed by Google on the newest Pixel 8 series.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE offers a pretty standard one-day battery cover. After a day of moderate to heavy usage, we were left with a 15-18% charge. With 25W charging support, the 4,500mAh battery takes just under an hour to fully charge.
The camera performance of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE blows almost every smartphone in this category out of the water, as you’ll find out in this review. This is largely due to the updated 50MP main sensor which is also found on the flagship Galaxy S23. Images taken in outdoor conditions using the primary shooter were tuned to perfection. They displayed an excellent dynamic range, balanced contrast, and vibrant colours without coming across as too overprocessed. We were pleased with the way the sky was exposed in the images. Objects in the background were captured with an adequate level of detail.
The 12MP ultrawide camera surprised us with the way it retained the colour composition within the images. While the pictures feel a bit softer, they do not appear washed out at all. The same cannot be said about most of the smartphones in this price segment. You can rely on the Galaxy S23 FE’s ultrawide lens to take solid shots under ideal daylight conditions. The 8MP telephoto lens is a good addition to the smartphone’s camera array. The 3X optical zoom produces good results. Even with 5X zoom, there is no significant drop in image quality.
Another significant upgrade to the S23 FE’s camera is the ability to record videos in 8K. While the camera may warm up if you’re shooting in 8K under direct sunlight, the result is absolutely worth it. The smartphone can also record 4K videos at 30fps. The 10MP selfie camera up front takes good quality selfie shots without overcorrecting the skin tone and texture. It is capable of recording 4K videos at 30fps as well.

Step 2: Tap on Battery.
Step 3: Select More battery settings.
Step 4: If there is an option for Fast wireless charging, it means your smartphone supports wireless charging.
If you don’t have your smartphone’s retail box within reach, you can simply check the manufacturer’s website for the device’s spec sheet. Once you land on your smartphone’s product page, scan its specifications to check for wireless charging. If it isn’t mentioned in the battery or charging section, it is unlikely that your phone supports wireless charging.
If the smartphone manufacturer’s website does not give you any clue about its wireless charging specs, check its Amazon page. If the smartphone supports wireless charging, it will be mentioned in the ‘About this item’ section or the extended spec sheet at the bottom of the page.
Another quick way to confirm whether your phone supports wireless charging or not is by using the Wireless Charging Checker app by Widget7. This no-nonsense app lists your device’s model name, product code, and other details on the home page. Tap on Check Wireless Charging to know the results.
Qi is a wireless charging standard that is used on a lot of smartphones. Go to the Qi Inside website to check if your phone supports wireless charging. Click the name of your smartphone’s manufacturer and look for your model in the list. You can also scroll the page for the long list of all smartphone models that support Qi wireless charging.
This seems like a no-brainer option but some users may be hesitant to try it since wireless chargers rely on magnetic induction for powering a device. If you have a wireless charger nearby, you can place your phone on it to check whether it supports wireless charging. Your smartphone will not be harmed if it doesn’t have wireless charging support.

Step 3: Select the resolution for the final video.
Step 4: The app will take a few minutes to compress and resize the video.
Step 5: The compressed video will be saved in your device’s gallery. You can preview the video within the app itself.
Step 6: Hit Share to send the video to your contacts directly from the app. You can also choose to delete the video if it doesn’t meet your quality requirements.
Now that you’ve learnt how to compress a video, let us take a look at the best Android apps for the task.
In This Article
One of the reasons why Panda Resizer grabs the top spot in this list is because of its accessibility and ease of use. If you don’t want to select a custom resolution for the final video, Panda Resizer has multiple presets that will compress it to a size that suits apps like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, and more. Once a file has been compressed, you can play it alongside the original video to see if there are any changes to the final product. Subscribing to a premium membership gives you ad-free access to the app and lets you compress multiple videos at once.
With over a million downloads and a rating of 4.2 stars on the Play Store, the Video Dieter 2 is one of the best video compressor apps for Android. Video Dieter 2 keeps things simple and gets rid of all the bells and whistles that may confuse the average user. You can set the resolution of the output video and easily view its file size and playtime. This app also allows you to resize a video by trimming it. You can also set background music to the video and convert it to a time-lapse or a slo-mo video.
ShrinkVid does a great job of compressing videos while maintaining their original quality. This app supports compression for all major video formats like MOV, MP4, FLV, MKV, AVI, 3GP, etc. Another good reason to use ShrinkVid is that it carries out the entire compression process on your device, without outsourcing the video to the cloud. You can choose a custom resolution for the output video or select a preset option that will resize the video according to the chosen platform’s size limit.
Apart from compressing and resizing your videos to a chosen resolution, the Compress Video app also lets you trim and crop unwanted parts of the video, convert it to an audio file, and apply time-lapse and slo-mo effects. The app is well-equipped to compress multiple videos at once. Once the video is compressed to a desirable file size, you can share it to any platform directly from the app. Compress Video also offers a very handy ‘Fit to Email’ preset that automatically adjusts the size of the video to that of an email attachment.
The Video Compressor & Video Cutter app has over 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store and a rating of 4.1 stars from over 100K reviews. Needless to say, this app is one of the best video compression tools around. While compressing a video, you can select a resolution for the output video. The corresponding file size is mentioned next to every resolution. Apart from basic compression tasks, you can convert the video to an MP3 audio file or cut the audio from the compressed video file altogether.
The Video Compressor – Reduce Size makes it to our list because of the exhaustive range of features that it offers. Apart from lossless compression, you can also convert the format of the video, convert it to a GIF or MP3 file, and carry out other basic editing tasks like cropping, looping, flipping, rotating, accelerating, and more. Once the video has been compressed to your desired size, it can be directly shared from the app itself.
The Videos & Movies Compressor app shrinks your selected videos to a more desirable size without losing the video quality. The process to compress the video is the same as the other apps on this list: select a video from your device’s gallery, set the resolution for the output video and hit the compress button. What we like about this app is that it can compress an entire movie or TV episode with ease. If you like to save movies offline on your device, this app will help you save a lot of storage space.
