    I got the S20FE. I got it before the S21 came out but I could have waited 3 days and just got the S21. However, I take tons of video and pictures so the benefit of the SD card, far outweighs the benefit of the faster chip or better screens. My camera is just fine on the FE so I'm satisfied.

    It boils down to whether you want an SD slot, MST for Samsung Pay, and a larger size phone or not. All other differences between the two are minor in everyday use. I'm all for not taking away features from smartphones, so I'll stick with my S20 FE.

    Great comparison. Very objective. Just a note that the 64meg 'telephoto' on s21 is not necessarily better than the 8meg telephoto on the s20fe. That's because the s21's is only 1.1x optical (compared to main camera) while the s20fe is a real 3x optical. So for the s21, the zoom shots are actually cropped images of the 64meg image and digitally extended to achieve the hybrid zoom. So both handphones end up having roughly equal zoom capabilities.

    Good morning, Ms. Thao. You mentioned that your S20 FE’s battery is satisfactory. How often do you need to charge it in one day on average? I got mine just a month ago and I have issues on how fast my phone’s battery loses power that I need to charge it at least twice a day. And then there is this heating issue. The one thing that disappoints me is that I couldn’t do continuous Zoom meetings or video calls because a window pops up saying that the video has to shut down due to the overheating of the screen. Your valuable advice would be most appreciated.

    I got an S20 FE simply because despite the S21 Exynos (only version available in my country) being slightly higher on Antutu I simply trust Snapdragon processors way more than Samsung's Exynos processors. It also gives Samsung less ways to tamper with your device's performance and Snapdragon is a lot more stable. The S20 FE screen is also bigger, has better battery life, is thicker/more durable and has expandable storage unlike the S21

    I got the S20 FE 5G a month ago and am mostly pleased. One thing that has bothered me is, coming from the Note 9, I am finding the display seems more washed out and colours are not as vibrant and saturated as the Note 9s display. Not sure if this is what Samsung intended, or whether the display on my FE is faulty? It has made me consider ditching the FE and going for the S21+ although the lack of SD card is a big minus there too.
