What's up guys it's time to unveil the surprising truth of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE compared to the Samsung Galaxy S20 series.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE although it's being marketed as the phone for fans. It's clearly a drastic move to improve the sales of the galaxy s20 lineup which in case you don't know fell down about 59% compared to last year's galaxy S 10 series.
Now the first obvious win for the Galaxy S20 FE is that it's a lot cheaper compared to the S20 lineup .S20 FE 5G model cost $699 which is almost $300 cheaper than the starting price of the S20 lineup which starts at $1 000. If you actually go with the 4G Exynos 990 LTE model of the S20 FE that model is even more cheaper , coming at $600.
Apart from the price there's actually a huge advantage for buying the Galaxy S20 FE compared to the S20 and NOTE 20 series. If you're in the UK or Europe or basically in any non-US country that has 5G. You still get Exynos 990 with the S20 series or NOTE 20 series. Despite paying all that 5G premium price, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G gives you a Qualcomm 865 no matter where you are in the world.
So that means 5G markets where normally we have Exynos models ,the Galaxy S20 FE is bringing Qualcomm 865 and it's a huge deal for anyone who's looking to score a better chip and that probably has slightly better battery faster benchmark scores and of course smoother gaming performance as we have seen in the comparison side by side with the Qualcomm and Exynos chips.
I think this alone will be a huge reason to just go for the Galaxy S20 FE to save money and you're getting Qualcomm that's amazing. Now to be fair Samsung is bringing the Exynos 990 model almost 100 cheaper.
Honestly in my opinion at this price point processor difference really doesn't matter but if that is something important to you then do know that you get Qualcomm on all Galaxy S20 FE 5G models.
Before getting my hands on Galaxy S20 FE ,the thought about this phone was that this one should have been launched early with the Galaxy S20 series on the unpacked day back in February because the standard S20 which was initially thousand dollars can now be attained for a much cheaper price.
Again it depends on your market and make no mistake the Galaxy S20 series is far more premium than the Galaxy S20 FE with a higher gorilla glass 6 and edge display, a better glass body.
But wait here is where things get interesting. The Galaxy S20 FE is not just a cheaper S20 ,it's actually a better phone in a lot of important areas and is more of a competitor to the $1100 Galaxy S20 plus. First we have the batteries coming at 4 500 mAh cells that are almost as big as the galaxy note 20 ultra whereas the standard galaxy S20 only comes with a 4 000 mAh battery.
I can confidently say that the Galaxy S20 FE is the first Samsung phone with a 128 Hz screen that can last you a full day. The Galaxy S20 FE is also rocking a flat display. It's going to come down to personal preference whether you like edge screens or flat displays. I personally like flat displays because they're more comfortable to hold. A flat screen means that the content won't cut out if you're using third-party applications such as Instagram or Snapchat.
Also we already use our galaxy S20 phones on full HD plus resolution anyways so I couldn't really tell major difference apart from the edge screen of the S20 series which yes does look a lot more premium but the full HD plus resolution on the Galaxy S20 FE does wonders to the battery and I think for most people it's a sweet spot.
Also Galaxy S20 FE while it is plastic it is still Ip68 water and dust resistant it has a support for wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. It uses plastic on the back which means it won't break like glass if you drop it while at the same time it won't get those fingerprint smudges on the back. Again considering the price difference unless you're getting a better deal I think most people will be fine with the Galaxy S20 FE.
Galaxy S20 FE is rocking almost the same camera setup as the Galaxy S20 series. It cannot shoot 8k video because it doesn't have that 64 MP telephoto lens; instead it's rocking a less resolution 8 MP zoom lens that still offers 3x lossless zoom and up to 30x digital zoom.
As for the selfie camera Samsung has brought a 32 MP selfie sensor. It has a dedicated 32 MP mode which in a favorable lighting situation is going to put out a sharper selfie and it also allows you to shoot 4k 60 fps video.

Software wise it is rocking the same one UI 2.5 as the S20 lineup. It's also going to get three years of software update officially from Samsung. So the surprising truth of this video is that the Galaxy S20 FE is not just a cheaper phone it gives Qualcomm chips in most markets. Anyone with the Exynos 990 is coming out $100 cheaper.
It's actually more of a competitor to the S20 plus rather than the galaxy S20. It's got a bigger battery coming at 4 500 mAh so with 120 HZ you get almost a day of usage. This phone almost kills the Galaxy S20 series sales because of all its features at the cheaper price but that shouldn't be a surprise because S20 sales were already pretty bad all around the world and to top it off the whole pandemic situation. Also didn't help Samsung at all.
There's a reason why Samsung gave the 120 Hz display to the Galaxy S20 FE not the standard Galaxy Note 20. So all in all as the Galaxy S20 FE is out and as I've used this phone personally I have to say it turned out to be a far better deal than just being a cheaper S20 variant.
Let me know what you think about this in the comment section below and I'll see you guys in the next one.
peace out.
