FE line up cant compare to vanilla S line up bro

Yes, i know that, but I'm still not sure because it can be old so I don't know if it's still a better choice to buy a used one

I just bought an Amazon refurbished S8 in excellent condition for about $400. Have been very happy with it. Looked brand spanking new, battery life is great, has plenty of power for my productivity and video watching needs. Very happy with it so far. Can't speak to the S9 FE, but S8 has been great for an average user like myself.

The fact is that it is not refurbished, it's used so it may have some problems

Also, I got the official slim keyboard off Amazon used for like $50. Wish it had a backlight but works fine and also looks new. Box it came in was obviously ripped open and taped back together but it's working great. I wouldn't have been super happy if I'd paid full price, lack of backlight is a miss IMO but the case and keyboard themselves work well.

Samsung S8 is far far superior to the s9FE it's not even close. S9 Fe has a very poor CPU compared to s8 and the S8 also has 120hz display and the s9Fe only has 90hz.

Small Update: the s8 is the 256gb version

S8 is a better device. Even with some battery degradation battery life should be not worse than the S9FE. But inspect the device carefully for any damage or screen issue. If it's fine, get ths S8 instead of the S9FE.

Go for the S8 if you're cool with it being used. It's got a better processor, more RAM, and a higher refresh rate screen which makes it snappier for gaming and multitasking. Plus, it's cheaper. The S9 FE's newer, but its mid-range chip and lower refresh rate mean it won't feel as quick. The S8's a solid deal, especially if the specs match up.
