  • Reviewing Samsung's Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Fan Edition) a month later, including in-depth testing of the triple lens camera tech, gaming chops, battery life and the rest. I've been playing with this not-quite-flagship smartphone for a month and using it full-time for a week, so here's my verdict on how the Samsung S20 FE compares vs rivals like the OnePlus 8T.
    This 5G model costs £699 in the UK, a hundred quid more than the LTE version, but you get the Snapdragon 865 rather than the Exynos 990. That means serious performance (especially for games like PubG and Call of Duty), plus strong battery returns. This Galaxy is a serious goer.
    The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition sports very decent specs for the price, including 128GB UFS 3.0 storage, a 6.5-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen and stereo speakers. Compared with the regular flagship phone, there's no Quad HD setup - although you had to choose between that and the top refresh rate anyway. The camera tech is also slightly pared down, with no 8K video or crazy Space Zoom, but photo and video results on the whole are very similar.
    One UI 2.5 is still enjoyable too, even with the cloning of many Android features. Android 11 is due in 2021.
    So that's my review of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, one month later. Let me know what you think below!

    I am 29years old and have never had a phone over 100bucks. I have finally saved up enough money to buy myself a decent phone. And I think that this is the phone im getting. My bday was a month ago and it's my reason to get a new phone but it's taking me a month because I feel guilty for doing this! As a single mother with no child support who never buys herself anything nice because I want the best for my daughter, I am very nervous.. Lol but excited too. My phone now is on it's last breath and I deserve to have this.. Plus my daughter is now 9 and I have no good photos or videos od her :( so a good phone would help me with that for sure...
    I know that nobody here cares and im sorry to anybody who read all of that. But this is a big deal for me and I had to share it with somebody!.... I have no friends. Lmao_

      You have good options. Don't just stick with Samsung, LG and Motorola. Look into chinese brands as well. Oneplus is good too. Xiaomi redmi note 10 pro has a great camera as well and cheaper than here.
      You deserve nice things. Flagships are great but overrated. You can get an extremely good phone between $300-400 if you aren't a heavy user.

      For people in this situation, I'd recommend enjoying the bulk of the $ you've saved (by having it as saved $) and buying something like a used (but in very good condition) Pixel 3 (or 3xl), an LG g8 ThinQ (or g8x ThinQ) or even a LG V35/V40 or g7 ThinQ. You'll end up with an overall daily comparable phone, and you'll save like $400 - 450 usd

    Watched this video from my s20 FE 5G and I absolutely love this phone. The camera and video are top notch, the video quality is GREAT and vibrant as are most Samsung displays. The FE has a super high refresh rate as you scroll through your phone, very responsive. If you want a phone better than this for android you'll have to spend more than 7-800 bucks. For 699 or less there is not a better phone on the market or get the more expensive Galaxies ofcourse.

    Had the phone since launch day in the UK, I banked the Mint Green which looks great. I'm quickly become a fan of the plastic back. Battery has been soild. The camera comments are spot on, I'd go look at more flagship models if anyone is after a great camera, this just does the job imo. Memory expansion option is superb. And the 120 refresh rate is smooth. Lucky i already had some Samsung fast chargers kicking around so the one that came with the phone ended up in the spares draw, I'm finding from say 5% battery to full is about 1 hour 20-30mins. Wish it had a headphone jack and also have found it hard to get a good case, but I'd put this down to being new on the market. Great video.

    I've had the 5G snapdragon version since Oct. 2nd. The phone was $599 before trade in, and the preorder deal gave me Galaxy Buds Live for $100. So I got the phone and headphones for the price of just the phone in some places.
    The phone is lightning fast, 120hz is extremely smooth, cameras are all exceptional, battery lasts, Dex turns phone into a portable mini computer, etc.
    The Buds Live work seamlessly with the phone, last all day, sound great, call quality is great, and they hardly feel like they're in my ear without ever falling out. Plus I can hear my surroundings for all day use.
    Gotta give it to Samsung for giving us tech that lives up to 2020 standards without costing an arm and leg

      I switched from an iphone 11 pro max. Everyone is making fun of me but they're so simple minded. Im not saying I'll never own apple again, but the change is nice and android is awesome! Only downside is that I like using social media a lot and most apps are better optimized/updated on ios. (camera works way better on snapchat in ios). Other than that, this phone is better in every aspect in my opinion.

    My S7 just died last night. Just froze then went into a never-ending boot loop. Even though this is an old review, but looking over what Verizon had available, this was for $600. Compared to the S22 (no MicroSD slot), the S21 and the S20, this looked like the best buy to still get 5g and still have a MicroSD card slot. I have my music stored on the SD card as I hate streaming my music. So your review, even though it's coming up on 2 years, definitely sold me to get this phone.

    Something I don't see covered to consider for future reviews would be Android Auto integration/performance, and something simple like an on board compass. Does the phone have real GPS or does it use triangulation from cell towers to run maps.
    As an example the older, though functional Galaxy A10 does not have a compass, uses triangulation so you can't download a compass app, and will not work project phone data to a vehicles screen when running Android Auto. With so many cars depending on phone apps it would be nice to know.

    Well got it recently in 2022 since its getting cheaper and is sort of a gift for my mum, hope it doesn't disappoint. Didn't really choose the S21 series including the newer S21 FE due to the fact that Samsung ditch the micro SD card slot and also the charger (even though it comes with a hilariously slower charger that the phone is capable of charging at but at least i'm getting something). Samsung could have bumped up some of the package like getting a better gorilla glass for better protection like gorilla 5/6 or better but not as high end like the victus due to the price point. But overall its worth the money i hope.
