Is the price discrepancy due to sales tax? I see it here in Germany for ~630€. 599$ converts to 511€ so that's possibly mainly the 19% vat.
The UK OTOH appear to be just getting screwed: £700 ~ $900 (!!)
how is the heptic feedback of the phone feels?
I see when you open the extra mode for the camera app I see the pro video mode is there. I hope that is the mode that you are looking for.
@Denzel Schenkel German seller but presume they would send at least within eu. They called boomstore -- add a de at the end there. Found via Heise Preisvergleich where they get an okay review. You might find better
for even heavy consumers like me, I find 4gb of ram on phones to be ample, I believe 5 gigs or more is just marketing garbage
I really never understood the point of wanting glass on the back of a phone. It's just added weight and another point of failure. Most people just put cases on their phones anyways.
I bought the Fe 5G over the s20+ because I live in an exynos country, but I still wish I had the glass back. It's just looks so much better, but that's entirely subjective
@@whaatt6791 That's totally fair tbh, I shouldn't say I don't see the point, I get the appeal but I've always preferred plastic as long as it's done well 👍.
I've got an S20 FE 5G arriving tomorrow, coming from an iPhone X. Honestly as soon as I got the X it went straight into a case because one the fingerprints drive me around the bend and 2 expensive as hell to fix!
@@NepDouble07 I think the same way mate ,
if we are really honest with ourselves , good quality plastic really is the premium material in more ways than glass ,
having said that , glass does have a nice feel to it.
For my money , I'm not fussed which it comes with , however , if the deciding point on whether i get bigger battery and lighter weight of plastic back allows it ....... I'll take plastic back everytime.
@@mikldude9376 That's a good way of looking at it and deciding 👍
Strongly disagree with the complaint about the plastic back. Here's to a return of durable phones!
Of course it wont smash but it feels a bit cheaper for sure and the metal frame dents just as bad
@@Techtablets my take from having an S10 and doing a trade in for this phone, I don't really like how the Samsung glass back too much. I use a case anyway.
I think it's important if the feeling sucks regardless of material choice tho. I hope I like it cuz I like the idea of having no case on my phone more often
@NURUL AIN then let them make the back out of paper, why care ? You put a case on it. Chris complained because for that price, it's a damn rip off. Then why in the past everyone kept bitching about S2, S3 made out of cheap plastic. Now when it's back, people accept it. This proves how dumb and fanboys some people are.
Livius it has 128g ram, 120 he refresh rate, one of the latest chipsets, and a good camera, they went cheap on the less important aspects to keep the price down. Good for me
@@motive7475 that's a lot of ram...
So glad they kept DEX with this device. Comes in super clutch when you need it.
Same here was worried it might have been removed glad it wasn't. NFC and wireless charging also there! 👍
@@Techtablets reverse wireless charging too no?
@@eddydrouet1888 yes, it has that
How many android update does it get??
@@levinthomas101 3 android version updates and security updates for 4 years
Such an indepth review! I have watched tonn of these, the minor things you point out like DC dimming and EIS aren't pointed out by other reviews. Subsribed!
I was watching this video on my S10 in landscape and when you got to the part of the video recording j thought my phone had opened up the camera 😂😂😂
Great in-depth review. 😎👍
The best look yet at this phone. Thanks!
amazing in depthreview , actually what 90 percent of youtubers don't cover and is actually important for the buyer, thanks
Thanks for watching!
@@Techtablets at 60hz is the battery life good
Another great video - love the canonball fact! Tiny additions like that give extra life to your tech takes. Love it
Thanks since I take photos of it so often thought people might like to know. Most cameras in phones can't pick up that cannonball in the shot. But the 3x and 5x optical cameras can!
@@Techtablets the TechTablets cannonball zoom test! Nice one
One of the few youtubers who is truly objective , GREAT work as always
NIce job...The best review of the S20 FE that’s on RUclips right now.
One second... Let me go get you some kneepads
@@Young_Dab 💀😂
🔥
Thank your for showing the pro photo mode , very few reviewers do that and does it support raw for photography.
how is it today.. im thinking of purchasing one for vlogging?... is there something better in 2022. in the same price point?
Another great in-depth review and good take on S20 FE. Currently in USA, Samsung is offering $599 launch price for the 5G version and that's a marvelous price for a 5G phone with top end SD865 from a name brand, not from the Chinese ones. Regarding the 12MP main camera, it is having a 1/1.76 sensor which is almost similar in size compared to the popular 64MP Cameras like GW1 and IMX 686, resulting 1.8 uM pixel size, higher than the 1.6 uM in both of those sensors. Since it is not using Pixel Binning, Samsung was able to add the Dual Pixel Auto Focus in this Camera. Also, lot of people are thinking 8MP Telephoto is a huge downgrade compared to 64MP one in S20 and S20+ which is wrong. Those two phones actually have 1.3X optical zoom and achieve 3X effective Zoom by cropping from the large 64MP image and then downscaling it to 12MP. Here, with 8MP, you have an actual 3X Telephoto Zoom range which does not need any background trickery. The 3X Zoom shots looked really great from your review.
So every time there's a firmware update the previously uninstalled bloatware comes back? Does that include the monthly security updates?
Please, can you do DEX review, wireless and normal one on S20 FE?
Will the fingerprint reader work with a glass screen protector?
Such a good video, you considered so many things other reviewers over-looked!
I really enjoyed this review you did a good job.
Does the 5g version supports both Sub-6 and mmwave or only Sub-6? Thanks!
between this and mi 10 which do you prefer for detailed photos and video stabilization?
Hi Chris, I have a couple of questions regarding S20 FE.
1. How did you find the placement of the fingerprint scanner compared with your S10+?
2. Will this phone replace your S10+? If yes/no, what's that critical factor that made you change/stay?
What's about bluetooth qualcomm codecs (aptx, aptx-HD, adaptive, aptx tws+)? It's supporting? 🙂
Good job Chris!
6:05 does the Pixel 5 have that dual-band GPS feature?
I'm waiting for the pixel 5 review. I have enough of those paid reviews and specs reading. Great job
Hi,
Is there live focus mode in telephoto lens?
Thank you!
Do you know if the S20FE exynos Chipset has the same ufs 3.1 storage??? Here in Brazil just the exynos is available. +1 sub nice review pal.
Isn't the Pro video mode right there on the menu at 12:04
It is. I was referring to the button there with the pro camera shutter to just shot video at the same time like it use to be. I came out wrong 😩 Yes 100% pro video mode is there.
@@Techtablets Ahh, I understand. Good review showing off the performance and in action capabilities of the camera. These are things that have been missing from other reviews that lumped it into being a slightly worse S20 in certain aspects. Still makes it compelling option.
@@Techtablets How's the haptic on this device though? thanks!
Glad to see camera is really well. I was a bit warry after my experience with S20 which I found to be a step down in the camera department.
Is it still a good buy in August 2021? I am planning to upgrade from M51 to this. I wanted A72, and this one is in the same price bracket here in Turkey. Now I can't decide between this and A72.
Also, Vera
one of the better review i saw thanks
Congratulation, this is the most honest review till now ! Thanks !!!
so this for 500eur or f2 pro for 400 eur, I would like to try wireless charging, but that selfie cam ... how much worse is samsung sw than poco? Can it output video on usb-c?
11:47 You said there wasn't a video pro mode? Not true, I saw one in the "More" menu right after you exited pro mode...
SAME I saw it too
Yeah, i'm almost certain it does have Pro Video mode
Isn't pro mode for video the setting that's call Pro Video? My unit has several manual options for video on that mode
Amazing review and structure to your videos as always thanks for the time stamps too thumbs up
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Thanks.
In depth review, much appreciated for your review
Watched several review. Yours the best!!! 👍👍👍
In your opinion i have a Note 8 would this be considered a decent upgrade ?
Awesome and thorough review, thank you!
if you buy it factory unlocked from amazon in the US, will it work in Ireland?
How do the haptics compare to other phones?
Would you recommend it over the S20s Exynos for quite the same price?
Yes and yes
Amazing unboxing and hands on review as always stay safe Sir
great information! i like!
How many years would this phone last,looked after,in a case?thanks.
Hi, Sir! Compared to Realme X50 pro, what is the better phone?
have you heard about the ghost touch problem with s20 fe? does it happen to your phone? im planning to buy the s20 fe and currently researching its pros and cons.. thanks for the reply :)
Does it come with a screen protector like most Samsung phones?
Hi, awesome videos. Quick question: What camera do you use and do you use a CPL filter when shooting videos/reviews of phones/tablets? I don't see much reflection, amazing.
I use a Sony A6400 with a 30mm Sigma F/1.4 and 16mm wide. No filter I just try to adjust my lights without reflection. But it's hard with the overhead mount that can still reflect the camera and mount
If I buy the US unlocked version will it work in Egypt?
Love the videos man. keep it up!
Glad you like them!
TechTablets always dude
As an A70 owner, plastic backs have won me over. It's never icy cold and has held up PERFECTLY to WAY too many drops!
Good point!
@@Techtablets Never thought about it like that. Its true though. Its pointless having a glass exoskeleton; its bound to crack some day
I have watched a lot of videos on the s20fe, and this is by far the most in depth and enjoyable watch! I have a question, would the in screen fingerprint scanner work with a tempered glass screen protector? Thank you.
Yes it does work with a screen protector
Does the camera can save picture in raw mode??
Another great video
small question now that it has gotten one ui 3 has the camera bug been fix?
Great review.
Thanks for this very good in-depth review.
IMHO, I prefer the plastic back (especially with wireless charging).
I totally agree with you about the adapter that should be 25W.
In Thailand, every model comes with 8 GB of RAM.
Nice review, the best i've seen so far for this phone 👍
Can de night mode be use for telephoto and ultra wide?
It ships with a pre applied screen protector?
I love my s10 but the exynos is really pissing me off. Gets warm and the battery barely lasts unless on power saving mode which makes it even slower. Definately going to get one of these soon!
I have the same problem with my s10 🤧🤧
@@dangerdon6906 then I did get an s20 fe 5g and it was slow, buggy, glitchy, touchscreen issues as well as somehow shit battery so I give up on Samsung. Might try the pixel 6 but that seemingly uses a Samsung made exynos type processor. For now I’m using an iPhone XS Max and it’s easily better than all of my Samsungs and I had them for years and years. An s1 mini, galaxy fame, s4, s5 neo, s7, s10, s20 fe 5g.
15:22 portrait mode: what is "the stitching" -- is it the way the background is blurred?
seems to be to the way the blurred background and sharp foreground are joined
Great review like always
Thanks for the good review!
Excellent review. Thank You! 😁
where the translate trick iam from egypt i need lyrics english to understand u in video
what about haptics i have the exynos s20 plus which overheath so much im considering the s20 fe but the haptics in the s20 plus are so good.
Which one should i buy? S20 FE or Huawei P40 Pro? Consider it's at same price range segment..
Very good review. I like the polycarbonate build quality as opposed to the glass 🥪. As far as I'm concerned my ☁️ red is a definite homerun. The 865, blazing & 120hz display is 😍 beautiful even at 1080p. Flat display again preferred. Yep, no-brainer even at full retail!
Great review mate , Don't give up on the 3.5 mm headphone jack , I'm optimistic it will make a come back.
It is clear many people still want it , as the Smart phone market becomes more diverse and big companies struggle to keep customers , they will be grabbing every feature they can to keep customers 😉.
Please if you have a chance make s20FE vs s10+ camera comparation, really dont know what to buy.. tnx in advance
Wow, FE make me want one esp that Red variant.
Genuine review dude👍🏻❤️
Great review Chris! No DC dimming means no buy for me, my eyes are sensitive to this kind of flicker :(
If Samsung ever fix this with a firmware update, please do an update video!
By the way, are you going to review Galaxy Tab A 10.4 (2020) and Sony's Xperia 5 II?
How does this compare with the OnePlus 8 Pro? Which would be a better purchase?
Thank you for bringing up the PWM and lack of dc dimming, most reviewers don't bring up that type of stuff. Can you tell at what level do you begin to see the pwm?
I'm really keen to know about this too. I'm considering this phone but I do use my phone in low brightness often in bed. Will I see the screen flicker and at what percentage of brightness does it become apparent? Thanks!
Which one you suggest me to pick oneplus 8t or s20 FE ?
Amazing review, very good.
at 12:05 it shows "Pro Video"...is that not Pro mode?
Best review out in youtube
Rock solid so in love with these 👍
I have the s20 Fe I've had it for a little over a month now and I'm highly pleased with it I haven't had any problems out of it especially the ones that you've named off it might be just the phone you have cuz mine's been spot on
Great review 👏
dope review
What about vibration and proximity sensor in calls please answer
Hi Chris, happy to see your review, is the best one, i already order the S20 Fe, i hope you like the phone ....
Hope you enjoy it! It's good.
@@Techtablets i finish your review, everything that you say is right, i just worried about the battery life ( not bad ) picture is great, samsung s20 fe camera vs xiaomi mi 10 ultra who is the winner ??
Thanks for your review, always great !!!
@@roland7449 Hey man, how's the battery life? I'm planning on getting the 5g version with the sd 865.
@@ConorMcgregor322 yes i’m also curious with that point about the battery life
Best review so far and I have check 20 different ones.
Thanks for video. Will be getting my Navy Cloud FE in today. Traded in my Pixel 3a and also got $70 Samsung credit. Total cost with trade in and wireless charger(from credit) is $474...Good deal!
Great price!
Hello, how about the battery life, do you feel it’s ok? And the screen too?
Great review, as usual. But no subtitles 😟
One of the best reviewers in my opinion.
Matter of interest, why do you prefer a glass back to a plastic one?
Hey. I do like your reviews, they are really through. Just one omission that I saw. You said theres no Video Pro Mode, but I think I saw it on the screen, just not right next to stills pro mode but one row down. Cheers !
Please do a vs with the regular s20 👀🙏
got mine last week can't buy a decent case yet and guess what, it does exactly the same as every other phone i have had, WOW what a step forward
Anybody know where they cut costs on this phone?
