This is the Samsung Galaxy for most people. Most do not need super hi-res cameras, just good point and shoot
Go through your photos and tell me how many were zoomed in at all

As a European, all I can say is that I can finally get my Snapdragon hahah
Yeah, that's the biggest pro for me, too. Plus a bigger battery and no edges.
@@Funkadelic74 exactly, i still can't understand if the fingerprint sensor works if i use a screen protector tho
@@babs1277 This should hav no problem with any kind of screen protector compared to ultrasonic version in other S20 because it's optical sensor.
@@obidean3964 cause in my a50 it has some issues, it doesn't work all the time, so i am not 100% sure
In Malaysia too
That's all the flagship I need. Plastic (or metal) to me is way better than glass. More resistant, cheaper fo repair and, combined with the relatively low price, way easier fo use without a case. And that flat screen. Great.
PS: this phone is so well balanced that a lot of reviews are complaining about the silver ring in the front punch hole.
Yessss! A phone you are able to afford should not have to be kept in a case. It's beauty should be seen and durable for daily use.
Exactly, I have a plastic A51 and the back hasn't scratched at all. With the added bonus it won't crack
@@stephany6417 if you bought it now you would get the galaxy buds+ for free :)))
@@Mischa808 I like mine in a case though hahaha
Had the S9+ for two years, got tired of the curved edges. Glad to go back to a flat display. Traded it in for the S20FE, only cost me $250 ill take it
Fo you like it?
Sorry do you like ir
I'm in the same boat I have an s9 plus and looking to make the jump to this phone. How is it so far ?
@@flacko001 Good, a nice change. The buttons are on the right side so have to get use to that. To me picture quality is the same. I just couldn't pass up getting a new phone with a new battery for 250.
@@flacko001 pretty sure the trade in deal ends on the 18th or very soon.
This absolutely destroys the $1000 Galaxy Note 20! 😂😂
Very much!
What about the camera? Is it better than the Note 20?
Isn't the front screen like Gorilla Glass 3? It'll basically shatter on impact.
@@zainulabideenzain3 the Note still better,in selfie especially, but it depends on Samsung, will they optimize it and fix the skintone issue or the stabilization issue on the FE or not
@@zainulabideenzain3 no. the front camera has no video stabilisation. whether that is important to you is highly subjective but for me it's a no go.
Plastic is much more durable than glass. Plus, most people have a cases so you won't even see the back.
Clear cases exist you know
@@antbets while most people put cases on their phone, it's only a few who purchase clear cases, as it's not very aesthetically pleasing
@@eddydrouet1888 Well that's your opinion
@@antbets so what? The back still look like a frosted glass like on the note 20 ultra.. you wont even notice if it plastic if you're not touching it..
@@eddydrouet1888 Clear cases get all janky and nasty yellow looking as they pick up grime with use.
FINALLY we get the snapdragon processor in the UK. Big difference and that gorgeous navy blue 😋
In Australia too Madeline , if samsung had given us this better chipset option on the high end models on the note ultra , the S20 ultra , the big furore over paying top dollar may not have eventuated , and if samsung came to their senses and had also given us the flat screen option on the top of the line models and a 3.5 mm headphone jack , very few would have sooked about paying top dollar for a handset with all the good bells and whistles ( Are you listening Samsung ? ).
These phone manufacturers seem to be really clever in some ways , but really , really thick in others , we see the crap going on with google handsets , google refuses to give customers the bells and whistles they want , and every year sales suck for googles pixels , hell i wouldnt buy one .
Hopefully the FE models are the start of Samsung waking up .
@@mikldude9376 We are so glad to finally get the Snapdragon
The exynos is so poor in comparison and we were expected to pay the same price. I think not!
Shame you Australians didn't get the same as us. We think this is experimental from Samsung and if sales are good they will give us the snapdragon 865 in the S21.
I think the sales of the S20 and the S20 Ultra were poor here so they have had to go back to the drawing board. People like me simply refused to buy any phone with the exynos version. Its totally second rate.
I adore the blue navy colour its my favourite colour
Was waiting for you to make this video. Thank you! Depending on how the prices change, I'll probably pick the FE.
I'm excited to see the new iPhones and Pixel 5 to make a proper comparison!
FE
F: FOR
E: EVERYONE
...
who can afford it
it's not that expensive ...
@@vadergrd price is entirely relative my dude
This is the best S20 you can buy in GSM regions (i.e. everywhere in the world except USA) because it comes with a Qualcomm chip.
I picked one up so far pretty happy with it. For 699 you get a lot compared to other devices in its price range. I do agree with you that i wish it had a microphone on the back also.
Waiting for pixel 5 review and comparison with S20 FE :) Those 2 would be awesome videos :)
Great review Mike! If possible, please also do a comparison of the S20 FE with the S10 Lite that came out earlier this year. These two seem to be quite similar. Not sure why Samsung needs to have entirely separate product lines when there are minor differences 😄
Thanks for the camera sample!
Several members of my family are upgrading phones around the next blackfriday and this is the ONLY phone i recommended them. In my region we only get the 5g/8gb ram version, that comes with usb-c headphones and pre-applied screen protector too. If the plastic back is like the a71 or the n20 then i really wont miss the -fragile- glass....
Only thing am bummed about is that samsung cheaped out on the charger; heck even the $350 a71 gets a 25w charger in box!
Otherwise, the s20fe is a killer deal!
Ive been waiting for your review!!!
Great video, makes me consider getting this phone as a secondary phone. My primary phone is the galaxy note 10 plus.
Can you compare the haptic feedback to other phones? Thanks!
Just got one of these. Very happy with it.
Will you be trying out the bew Galaxy Fit 2? Waiting for that review the most!
Absolutely!
Hi Mike...looking for a bit of advice....either going for the FE or the standard S20....based on the bigger screen size I am leaning towards the FE...however the lower quality Gorilla glass 3 is putting me off.the FE.....both phones are around the same price for me...what do you think?
In all honesty, a screen protector on the FE will basically fix that problem right away when paired with a case
It'll cost a little extra but still less than that of the standard S20
I got it for $240. I'm definitely pleased with it.
savage i got my S20+ for less than $600.
How did you get it for that much bro?
@@tomriddle9576 He must've done a trade in.
@@thundergato84 oh yeah, you're probably right.
@@tomriddle9576 Sprint gave me a loyalty discount i could apply to any new upgrade since I've been with them for so many years. I lease it for $10 a month for 2 years and I own it at the end.
Does anyone know how to turn off the feature: when you grab your phone that your phone turns on without you wanting it too? I have a galaxy s20
Search lift to wake in settings
@@DangerZero thanks!!!
The 32mp front camera looks good.
7:18 did you turn off the beauty mode?
Just ordered this today. I'm super excited, I think it'll meet my needs really well.
I would like step by step instructions on how to use the camera for the Samsung galaxy S20 fe . I had difficulties cropping my pictures. Thanks
I got my samsung galaxy s20Fe two days ago and my full coverage case yesterday for my fone and I absolutely love both
Thanks you helpt the most the sound is to far I don't think it's better than the s20 for podcast thanks a bunch
Hey brother can you test the accuracy of oppo watch and review it?
. And please compare it with galaxy watch 1.
Would be glad.
Awesome video keep it up as always watching with my S20 plus
Is the issue with gaming resolved? Heard bad things about multi touch
what month do you get the best buys from your carriers?
I ordered one today. Upgrading from s9plus. 332.00 with trade-in and 5% discount. Ordered Red also.
Did anyone get the headphones from Samsung like he suggested? Just curious
Good review as always, watched it on my new S20+ (Exynos version, but very satisfied with it !) Btw, I missed one "con" of the S20 FE that you didn't mention: the screen is made of Gorilla Glass 3...
Gorilla glass 3 is back to 2015 i think. This is a big drawback and i am afraid if the phone dropped on the screen what would happen then?!
Only a con if you're careless with your phone.
Hey Mike, thanks for the work you're putting into these great detailed videos and being honest.
Can I make a request for a future video? I request a video on TaoTronics SoundLiberty 94 ANC Bluetooth 5.1 Earbuds. Amazing product for the price.
A couple reviewers showed a pre applied screen protector, interesting.
It's not that good. Scratches very easily.
@@markgibson5845 Good to know, I'm just hoping to use it for a day or two before a tempered glass one comes in.
It would be plastic film protector, no pre applied phone uses glass that I know of
@@DangerZero Yeah it looked like a small thin protector under the factory packaging.
I scratched the preapplied screen protector day 1 so took it off, haven't scratched the main glass at all
When do you think there will be a price drop? I don't want/need to upgrade phone until end of the year so... I have t-mobile here in US, don't want to add additional line, etc! Tks
I feel ya. So annoying that Tmobile only has special offers if you add a line. Guess they want my cat to have a line xD
@@abbeysmith6270 right! I already have 4 lines. Don't need an other!
Great review. Thank you
Does the exynos version is better to buy?because it is the only version available in india
Great Review! Personally would just add a headphone jack and put the fingerprint sensor in the power button. But this is definitely a home run. Now I just want a Note 20 FE.
I'm waiting for the note 20 fe
Is this worthy enough to upgrade from the s8. Very interested in this phone.
i am a heavy mobile phone gamer around 4hrs++ game time, is this samsung s20 FE a recommendable for me?
Are you planning on doing a review of the new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds?
Absolutely! Coming soon
Excellent video. My wife just ordered the red one. A Samsung rep will come to the house on Monday to to take her old S9 plus as a trade in, and will get Galaxy Buds+ as a free gift which I will steal as she doesn't like in ear buds!! I still have Note10 plus and I may be a bit jealous of the better zoom on the FE.
Good video Mike ,
Its kinda funny , if sammy had brought out some of features from the FE 5g model on the big dollar flagship models , like flat screen for example and given those of us in the exynos global regions the option to have the snapdragon chipset ,
i firmly believe samsung would have absolutely killed 2020 in sales.
A lot of people seem to think it is just about money , but from where i stand , it was for a lot of customers the lack of samsung listening to what the customers wanted and feature and hardware sets offered , not too mention other long time samsung features in the last couple of years that have been omitted , like the 3.5 mm headphone jack , the heart rate monitor , the dedicated notification light.
Some people say oh but apple and google ditched the 3.5 mm headphone jack , i would say to them " who cares what apple and google do " !
The point is , phone manufacturers can get away with having a certain amount of leeway the customers will give them if they are not happy with one or two features , but when you cross that line , customers start looking elsewhere for their handsets , even if they have been long time loyal customers , and we have seen this in the note models and the the S models of this year , and to some extent even last year .
The FE 5G model does go some way towards alleviating that problem for samsung imo with this particular model , i would have liked to have seen a 3.5 mm headphone jack , and maybe a couple more gb of ram , and i would have happily paid extra for it .
But its a start anyway .
At least the glastic back is more durable on the S20FE 5G!
does the FE has a portrait mode?
I picked up the s20fe5g I love this phone gives me whatever I want but a few shortcuts to make it cheaper obviously I just wish they came out with at the same time when they launched this fan edition a black one I would have so got that one instead of the the dark blue one instead
So anybody find it weird that in the commercial they only show off the front facing camera and not the rear one
That red color is amazing
To be honestic, this kind of plastic is not looking "cheap" or bad at all, I love the shiny look and it does not take away any premium feeling from the phone. I got this phone about a week ago, I am so satisfied with everything, totally would recommend.
I actually like the chrome ring around the selfie camera. But what they should have done is switch the main shooter with the selfie camera.
5g sub6 or mm wave?
Would you get this phone, or Pixel 5 or iphone Xs?
My friend please be honest the microphone at the back is so important specially if you got kids to listen to them I got an s 20 for 870 au dollars mint
I got a regular s20 love it so far
Can you make a video about Galaxy Fit E?
I actually prefer plastic or metal backs on phones since they are more durable. My first two phones were the HTC Inspire 4g from AT&T and my second one was the Galaxy s5. Thy felt so durable that I went without a case some days. My next phones till current is the Galaxy s7 and the Galaxy s10. Sure they look better but I almost always have them in a durable case.
Yep, pretty much sums it up, the FE is actually the phone for most people, and the Ultra or that sort of a model is for the tech enthusiast or the Rich people who buy just because they can
And for the plastic, as long as they keep doing the metal frame, I'll be fine, because if they use plastic frame too, thats just insulting and compromise the durability so much
does the fe have the "my filters" option like the s20 and s20+?
Yes that feature is on most new Samsung phones!
Maybe high quality plastic like the plastic used on the old lumia phones.
I miss that hardware quality to this day
@@SilvioBritto you and me both
I don't think a plastic back is worse than a glass back because I always use a phone case anyway
Hey can you review tech products you use personally?..... Please maybe
I never see the back of my phone. From the instant I buy it, I use protection front and rear.
That's what she said!
Same here mate , cosmetics are very very low on my priority list .
If I wanted a bigger phone definitely looks like a great phone and I like the colors. I prefer smaller phones so just bought a Pixel 4a
I prefer zoom over ultra wide. And in Australia is we get the 5g we finally get the Snapdragon yes. And the do and 8 gig ram model too. Sold. Have the S10 plus. And you get free Bud's live if I pre-order. Might see what the s21 holds first. Even though I don't use had the features when in my S10 plus
Great video. I agree with your opinions in your review. The S20 FE is the best option for most people. I am a fan of the return to plastic and also prefer flat screen. The performance is just as good as the S20 + for almost everything I use it for. My only complaint is that I would've prefered 8 GB of RAM. But as I said it works great...even with only 6 GB.
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
The OnePlus phones don't even come close. Not in any way .
im amazed real fantastic
Had used S8 with exynos processor for last 3 years in battery saving mode. Loving S20FE 5G with SD 865 so far
Nice job ... the only real downside of the iphone is it coming with only 6ram ...8 would be the sweet spot.
With 256 GB Storage Option you will have 8 GB!
@@carl3008 Not in US
It wouldn't make sense because the standard s20 has 8 gb ram
My upgrade is due next month, it’s either the S20 FE or the A71 and they’re both pretty close but the FE here in South Africa is the exynos variant so I’m having a hard time deciding between the two
I've been in the same dilemma but I've been told the 71 is glitchy as hells
Mike, please, caption your videos. They are great, but I want a full understanding of their content.
And the one thing you won’t see is that 2k display. I feel like they could make 2k 120hz a thing, but they just won’t.
in Australia, it is cheaper than iPhone 11, it comes with Galaxy live buds for free
man, i wished they released it earlier, and i would have gotten it, bought my s10 lite in July, still a good phone though.
Same. I got my S10+ in march right before lockdown. If it was here I would have preferred it.
@@liftusup9208 yeah and i do feel like they released too many phones this year, and what makes it more frustrating for me at least is that they released a successor to the s10 lite 9 months later which is better in so many ways
How about an all-star comparison: S20 FE vs S20 (regular) Vs OnePlus Nord Vs Galaxy 4a/4a 5?
As European I can/will get s20plus because its the same prise as s20fe, 1279lv
People need to realize plastic doesn't mean it feels like the old S3 or ancient phones. It's usually a nice feeling matte material that won't shatter when dropped.
Well we got the exynos S20FE, so should I get it or to for the S10 lite 🙄.
S20FE is still way better and for the price the exynos is still better than snapdragon midrange
Wait for an exynos FE review on the phone and see how it affects it
@@ruujay3222 The Exynos 990 is still a flagship processor
So any midrange snapdragon cannot compete with its benchmarks anyways 🤦♂️
@@davidlegkodukh6969 it definitely is
However most if not all reviews on this phone thus far have been on the snapdragon varient
Who knows what effects the exynos chip may have on this handset, especially in long term
Rohan, myself, and many others intend on keeping this phone for several years, and in that aspect, exynos has proven to be terrible
So it'd just be good to have a single proper review with the chipset on this phone, just to see how well the cooling works, the affect on battery and usage in general
I think the 5g version is all Snapdragon everywhere. That’s what Samsung said.
Hey Mike, very good in depth review. I call this the poor man's flagship. This FE can be had for 599.00 bucks. It's loaded with premium features. The 865, 120hz, & a 4500mamp 🔋. At 599.00 it's definitely a no-brainer! I think this phone will sell very well at it's price?
I'm not poor and I might buy it!!! It's not a good analogy to tag people by the phone they use.
I just hate the size. Samsung needs to make a "poor man's flagship" smaller version. But that could be the S20 FEe 5G, so that probably won't happen lol
Will this get three years of up dates adriod 11
Yes it will get 3 years of updates
I mean dis's alright but when you face it against the s20 or + i guess it's clear
In my country the s20+ has the same price 650$ 😅😅 so don't change my mind bro 😂 much love 💪 u'r the best
1:02 what is it?
yeah that metal ring around the selfie hole is annoying.
1:00 No punch hole camera!
So far I'm loving this s20 fe beautiful phone feels like a flagship cause it is ! plastic can take a beating glass cracks and aluminum dents plastic is flexible and can take an impact without a crack or a dent
Already returning fingerprint scanner froze deleted all fingerprints wouldn’t let me register new fingerprints. Reboot still nothing instead of doing factory reset I’m just going to return. Also returning Watch 3 no need for it now.
Prefer plastic, more durable. Usually looks fine, I cover a glass phone with a case anyway.
Audio sounds good and so does the camera this is a much better bargain then the regular note 20
Can it have fingerprint in middle after software update ??
No, the placement of the fingerprint sensor is hardware.
@@UProductions457 ohh 😂😂😆
No 🤦♂️ how would a software update change the hardware.
@@parkerwilkins5495 man I was just joking 😂😂😂
Yeah you can also put the front camera off to the side if you don't like it in the middle
I upgraded S9 to S20 FE 5G and I'm very happy with S20 FE. I can't find any case for my phone though. Every store says, it will take 17+ days.
That's why I usually wait to buy newly released phones.
I was so excited for this phone but Samsung decided to only launch the Exnyos variant in my country. Fun (not so much) fact, the leaked price makes it cost more than the regular S20 (1000 BRL more = around 180 dollars more).
For the price point the Exynos chip is BETTER than all midrange snpadragons
@@davidlegkodukh6969 could be depending on where you live, but here is more expensive than the S20+, mening 2x the price of any midrange.
The S10 lite that has a 855 is half the price.
Exnyos 990 heats up, throttles faster, has terrible battery management. I Would rather get a S10 Lite or even a A71 than this.
If people wanted they could even go for the S10, S10+.
@@guilhermeluppi2700 Well pricing is a big deal so I do understand your situation somewhat.
But the S10 Lite is better than the A series no questions asked..
And the S20 FE only ads 120hz so no big changes really
@@davidlegkodukh6969 samsung hasn't announced the price officially but a youtuber, who got the s20 and the Note 20 prices right, leaked the price.
While in their website nothing mentions 5g, they are stating speeds up to 2gbs, so maybe they could troll us. But the guy said that if there are 2 versions, the 5g would cost almost the same as the s20 ultra now so lol
@@guilhermeluppi2700 5g is a gimmick until its globally launched which won't be anytime in the near future 😁
Finally getting Snapdragon in the Philippines instead of Exynos is such a big deal. You get the important stuff with the fe. Got it to replace my XR. It's better in all aspects except maybe being a little behind on the cameras. iPhones, for me still take better photos in general. But still. For the price? 1080p Super AMOLED, 128gb internals, flagship snapdragon a triple cam setup and now Samsung promises 3 major software updates? That can't be beat.
I prefer glass. I have a 3 year old Samsung phone with glass on the back (it cost around $300) and it would be perfect if not for the small storage space.
Reminds me of those iPhone red 7 and 8 gens
They won't sell the buds at no charge to the public. I tried no dice !
in the UK we only get the exynos on the s20 where as on the FE 5g we get
the snapdragon... which makes the FE more appealing than than the
flagship!
I went with the 5g..all good 👍
This is the future iPhone 12 6.1" killer if leaks are correct.
...in reality, it is the s20 and s20+ killer, although those were already killed by the iPhone 11 which sold 10 times more than those which is amazing bearing in mind the iPhone 11 was 6+ months into its cycle! The iPhone 12 will have OLED this year so may even do better than the mega-selling iPhone 11!
andyH_England. I meant on paper. Not sales figures. Too many people want the logo on the back (and their 64gb of storage lol) or they bought the $400 Apple Watch and can't get anything else.
@@UProductions457 yes, but most phones are better spec than the iPhone so people will still buy the iPhone due to brand or habit! So a killer in specs, true as per norm, but that is not everything.
@@andyH_England It's mostly an IOS or Android preference. If you're invested in the IOS ecosystem, you have no choice! However, if you are new to phones, the Android side can be very compelling and in most cases, the better option for people on a budget. The thing with specs is that most people won't be able to tell the difference between an A14 and a SD865. You will only notice it in very specific operations which the majority of people who buy phones don't use. They are both great phones and you can't go wrong with any of them.
@@sweetestgravy9880 I agree me I'm an android guy but yeah whatever your preference go with your gut or what you know
