Literally just ordered the S20 FE like an hour ago. The plastic back just adds to the durability to me. I'm a dog groomer so water resistance and decent cameras along with the overall durability are more important to me than looks or updates. Jerry Rig Everything uses like a Note 10 so I think this was a nice choice lol.
Exactly I don't know why influencers love to say oh but it's a cheap it's sheet material cheap material it makes no damn sense imagine if I said I want something more fragile it's just stupid
I've had my s20 FE since February 21 and no separation with the plastic back, one Crack on the screen that's my fault but hardly noticeable. Although sometimes clunky it still works great for day to day heavy usage.
I got this phone in July 2021 off eBay, so coming up on 3 years of having it. still snappy enough and all, battery is good if you are conscious about when you charge it, for how long, and limit to 85% in settings. I installed accubattery when I got the phone so it's had all this time to gather statistics. Estimates my capacity still around 82 or 83% design capacity, and it was somewhere in the low 90% range when I got it. I'd say for basic use, and with how cheap it is now, definitely worth it used to get through a couple years. Still gonna hang onto mine into 2025 I think, no reason for me to switch yet and that's a huge pain in the ass to move data. Also it's getting harder to find good phones with SD slots still... I've accepted no headphone jack but I'm adamant about getting an SD slot on a phone.
if that's the case you would be really regretting buying the s23 FE lol, as the only thing it could have claimed to be better than S20FE, for not having even 1/5th the storage the S20FE Could have was the more flagship features(the S20FE can go upto 1,128GB storage, the S23 can only go upto a pathetique storage of just 256GB, we couldn't even use it for a full year without the storage maxing out!)
@@gusion9367 that's why I will still be going for samsung flagship phones from 2020 until budget phones are capable of inbuilt storage of upto at least 500GB
My S20 broke and I got a IPhone 14. I hated the limitation on apple so I’m just going back to my S2O FE. I gotta pay over $200 to fix it but damn it was that good.
@@nlee4566 what you said is absolutely right, IPhones are simply highly limited compared to most Android phone, they haven't had any important ports like micro SD card slot or headphone jack for years now, extremely closed ecosystem, with very less features and customisability...with all these basic features that are needed in a phone, what's the point of having the best processor or camera in a phone?
Today is December 31, 2024.... I still own / use my S20 FE 5G, and will continue to use it well into 2025 since it haset all my needs for a simple phone. It looks great, has a removable microSD memory card (up to 128gb), and has a pretty darn good camera that takes great pics. Happy New Year everyone!
Likewise. I'm hoping this thing lasts a few more years. I just got a phone case for it for christmas, so I want to rock this phone for as long as I can. I guess when apps stop being supported, I'll make the upgrade, but my phone is still in perfect condition after 3 years!
I've had the s20fe for 4 years.. finally upgrading now to an s24+... this phone served me well. I'm gonna miss it but the overheating problems along with the battery life were driving me crazy. The camera was great tho. Looking forward to see the jump in quality from s20fe to s24+
@The4lexO yeah it got so hot during video calls.. like the phone smelt like burning metal. EDIT: I had to send back the first s20fe I had because it overheated to the point of it frying the motherboard and they sent me out a new one and it still got hot

@@scott.truesdale a month ago I lost my s23 so I fixed my s20fe, they fixed the screen and put in a new battery for 150$ Canadian. Original parts from Samsung, took 3 weeks to get the red colour.

The reason I found that heated is because of the charger you are using like the wireless charger, for some reason wireless charging cause my phone to heat before.

My main phone has been a lovely white Samsung S20FE 5G since 2021 and only 1 issue I have had is the wired charger port stopped working a year ago and just use the wireless charging and move on with life. I have ordered a 2nd Samsung S20FE 5G recently, but in red and brand new. Overall, excellent phone is my opinion on this phone.
@@thegrimreaper7709 I shopped around on Amazon and got a 30 watt wireless charger for my Samsung S20FE. It still takes quite a bit of time to charge with the round wireless charger, but I use that mostly overnight while I am sleeping and it's fully charged by the time I get up the next morning. So it works for me. However, during the daytime or while I am up and about and the phone may need charging, I just charge it by the USB-C cord and plug that into a decent phone USB port and it charges faster. I'd look on Amazon, Ebay or similar online shopping site for a good wireless charger. I paid about $15 for this wireless charger and it works for me, but everybody has different preferencecs with chargers, either wired or wireless.
@@thegrimreaper7709 hard to say. I checked online and got one of those rounded wireless chargers, 15 watts I think and it works just fine for my Samsung smartphone.
@mmpsp693 Absolutely correct. And my prior S20 FE 5G smartphone's wired charger port stopped working and therefore, I got a rounded-shaped wireless charger and that kept that prior S20 FE 5G smartphone I was able to charge that phone for a year or so til I got another and my current S20 FE 5G smartphone.
I downgraded from S23 FE to S20 FE because of this! S23 FE battery heats up and battery drains really fast. It's frustrating. When I got the S20 FE, I got the same SoT lmao but considering it's an old phone, battery can still keep up with S23 FE. Never been happier when I switched to S20 FE
Ive had my 256Gb snapdragon 8gb RAM S20FE since 2021. No heating, battery or quality issues whatsoever. It performs like a new phone. Im only upgrading because it's now run out of Android support. It has otherwise been absolutely perfect. Id say it's obviously not the best phone for taking photos, but still okay for normal users. I can see this phone lasting another two years easily before it's really time to upgrade.
I got mine for 1½ years of use. The performance is still smoothly good as new whether for light gaming or browsing social media YT, internet streaming but i still hate the battery life. Battery life is something i really hate about this phone, devoid of any LTPO screen as i have to switch manually between power saving and normal mode i just could using this phone for 5+ hours with SOT and 120hz refresh rate. In term of video and camera capability and quality for me the phone is just mediocre but still usable. But with SD card slot , there are no more thing that i want to complained about.
I got my S20 FE in June 2021. 2 years, 7 months later and it is still great I get around 4-6 hours of SOT during my daily usage even after 2 years. I am not that bothered about software updates and it still receives security updates.
i think its one of the most well-rounded phones of all time. not the best by any means. but well-rounded. i still have mine and haven't thought of buying another. I had this phone in the shop for a year(2022) and forgot about it in wallmart phone repair and remembered one day while leaving walmart., I picked it back up paid the guy and have been using it over since. before then I was using Google phones with overheating issues.
i've had the galaxy s20 fe, with the snapdragon for 3 years. with a CRAVE brand case. it works fine. verizon is offering me a new phone today on 10/12/2024 because of a recurring issue, (not even with my phone but with the overall service) and here im trying to decided if i want to have them upgrade my phone or just put the money toward my bill. the galaxy s20 fe, will receive security patches until march of 2025, but as of october 2024, will no longer get oneui or android patch updates.
I've been using it since December 2020. It is the best experience I've had with a smartphone and intend to go with a Samsung again when I eventually upgrade which is also a first for me. The only reason I'm even thinking of upgrading is because it will stop getting security updates at the end of the year. Otherwise, it still does everything I need it to do well enough. I was a bit annoyed by the proprietary apps Samsung is trying to push on you at first, but I got used to it. There's a lot of neat features tucked away in the UI which make stock android seem a bit bare bones in comparison. It's like the swiss army knife I like to carry around - most tools I don't use veryday, but I sure am glad they're there when I need them. Bugs have popped up every now and again, but Samsung was reasonably quick about fixing them with updates. Having both an ultrawide and a telephoto is great for versatility. I've owned metal phones in the past, but not glass ones. From my perspective the plastic back is fine. The main advantage is that it makes an already big and heavy phone a little bit lighter. Yeah, overall I've enjoyed this device a lot and I'll be keeping it for another 6 months at least... but buying a 4-year-old phone which is about to stop receiving updates is probably not very wise.
Got an S20 FE and my only gripe is the lack of optimisation for social media apps. iPhones let you take full advantage of their Ultrawide, telephotos in tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, and Samsung fail to follow suit. I know they have a far wider range of devices they would have to optimise for but things like this are the reason apple will always be one step ahead. No matter how many improvements they make, they COULD make their devices as consistent as Apple's but choose not to. Next phone is definitely going to be iPhone and I'll probably stick that way until they sort it out.
so your only complaint is the camera cut-out function that you can set it up manually if OneUI detects them wrong, lmao okay I'm curious to know whats the consistency Apple have made for Iphone beside that 20% baked Dynamic Island that barely supports any notification and the "revolution" LCD-ISP 60hz screen from years to years
Best thing I liked about it is samsung dex. Used as pc replacement for more than a year. Bought from Amazon refurbished as a cheap S series option and it has worked really well.
Still using my 22fe, I've started to receive a message about the battery having issues, the phone dies quickly with little use, but even when i first bought it, the device was overheating a lot and during gaming it became too hot to even touch, i wouldn't recommend this device if you're a heavy user, definitely not for anyone who want to game, ..i gave it to my wife a while ago and used an s22 and last week we switched phones, and i don't know if i was spoiled by the s22 speed or the fe has really slowed down, but it's really annoying to use after having used the s22.
If you flash twrp, and then install UN1CA rom, it's oneUI 6.2 and it is up to date, they even bring out updates, so you don't miss out on anything samsung offered on this phone AND you are up to date security wise, and since this rom is based on oneUI, banking apps work, which is pretty nice! Had this phone for free (cousin bought a new device and gave me his old one) and man, this is an amazing device! I was amazed i have the snapdragon one, i was sure he said it was an Exynos model . . .
Have mine (5g, snapdragon), since March 21, the back plastic started to separate from the phones body, the battery isn't good enough and drowning relatively fast, and the most annoying thing about the s20 fe is the notorious SIM card problem, the phone doesn't detect the sim and then you basically can not use it until its over (sometimes hour), thats the reasons that I want to replace it by now
Honest review here. I wouldn't recommend it. I have it since 2021 and the problems are: - Battery 3-4,5h SOT since i bought, never improved (4G Snapdragon, did factory reset etc) - Proximity sensor not working since day 1, cant make a call without disconnect it with my ears - Touch screen faulty, but it happens sometimes only, not every day: when typing on keyboard, it stuck and write letters itself for 2-3 seconds. Not a software issue but hardware. Sometimes screen wont respond to touch. - Camera lags like hell, nothing will solve the problem. Even factory reset worth nothing. - Switching apps painful, stutter and lags. Beside these problems it works great and fast. But all these little annoying things makes the phone a bad one for me. I still using it because not as bad as is should replace it but absulutely not a phone i would can recommend in 2024.
I just paid off my S21+ and I'm downgrading back to my S20 FE. The connectivity on the S21 Sucks!!! All the tech on the S20 is still very usable and acceptable.
This is the second video I’ve seen where the reviewer was a little pretentious about the plastic back. I mean considering its price point, I wouldn’t expect gorilla glass or anything. Also not every phone needs to be high end parts. That’s how phones get to be expensive. For its class, S20 FE is a solid phone.
getting this in 2024 simply because its the last version that did microsd and i have some huge sd cards ive already invested in plus a giant collection of flac music files--i cant be the only one. these greedy mfs are all trying to sell us on cloud storage, keeping us slaves to google or where ever. im going to hold the line with this phone as long as possible. WE WANT THE SD CARD SLOT BACK!!!!
For me the most annoying thing about the s20 fe is the notorious SIM card problem, the phone doesn't detect the sim and then you basically can not use it until its over (sometimes hour), thats the main reason that made want to replace it by now
Okay so from what I know you can pick up a pre owned s20 fe for a pretty good price(quite lower than the 55), I would opt for the fe considering the price difference and at the same time I'd be getting a flagship experience
@@ryanjames1362 definitely samsung just be aware you would need to charge for few minutes during day (I got like 4.5h of screen time.. but if you arent heavy user you are fine)

I think the issues was with the S20 FE 4G (Snapdragon). I have the S20 FE 5G and I didn't face these kind of problems.

I just paid off my S21+ and I'm downgrading back to my S20 FE. The connectivity on the S21 Sucks!!! All the tech on the S20 is still very usable and acceptable.
This is the second video I’ve seen where the reviewer was a little pretentious about the plastic back. I mean considering its price point, I wouldn’t expect gorilla glass or anything. Also not every phone needs to be high end parts. That’s how phones get to be expensive. For its class, S20 FE is a solid phone.
getting this in 2024 simply because its the last version that did microsd and i have some huge sd cards ive already invested in plus a giant collection of flac music files--i cant be the only one. these greedy mfs are all trying to sell us on cloud storage, keeping us slaves to google or where ever. im going to hold the line with this phone as long as possible. WE WANT THE SD CARD SLOT BACK!!!!
Does this phone has dual sim + micro SD slot? Please reply.
Is it a good buy for a beginner in content creation
Should be decent or the best choice but alright with the SD card explanation
It's all fun and games until you experience the heating issues of the s20fe (exynos)
For me the most annoying thing about the s20 fe is the notorious SIM card problem, the phone doesn't detect the sim and then you basically can not use it until its over (sometimes hour), thats the main reason that made want to replace it by now
What is that first game you are playing In this video mate..?
Subway surfere
My S20 FE 5G updated on March 1st 2024.
I think it's still a beast of a phone but beware that it's near the end of it's official support though
thats stopping me from buying this phone good specs but sad its the end of the line for the updates.
@@Andreiminorca did you buy?
My mum had the s20 fe in punk
I currently have S10 and my phone plan is 5g is it worth the upgrade for the network aspect? Because S10 doesn't support 5g
What carrier do you have? You want to have a phone that supports c band which is supported on the s21 seriers and newer devices.
Yes it is I have the S10 and S20 FE it is good only thing I hate about the S10 is there is nomore software updates.
Is there voice focus option available in s20fe..?
No
not much of difference it just doesnt has ai features in it. s20 fe 5g. thats all..
personally love it s20 fe 5g.
Missing n77 support on this phone. So, there is no midband support on att or verizon. Would not recommend this phone for verizon or att customers.
All newer flagship phones still don't have a miro sd card slot, so I haven't bought a new galaxy yet😅
What's it running 14 ?
what the flip happend to the camera
Well yeah, it was suppose to be cheaper, so no premium shell is obvious. It's awesome phone tho
Heating issues after 2 years...
3 years and still going
If you would have changed the camera lens which is broken. Just saying it's a good review the phone is 🔥
Watching on my s20 FE 😊
Obviously, still better than most phones on his original price range 😅...
Still my daily driver.
How's battery life?
@@thoughtstorn854 Maybe I'm late but it can survive a day, with high usage. Also, I have the Exynos Version, and it is better than ever!
@@thoughtstorn854it's really good to be honest.
I still use the s20 and it's not bad.
currently watching on samsung s10e
Bought it for work, im well assured this is plenty
Which is better? Galaxy S20 FE or the new A55?
I think the performance is almost the same but the A55 is brand new...
What do you think?
Okay so from what I know you can pick up a pre owned s20 fe for a pretty good price(quite lower than the 55), I would opt for the fe considering the price difference and at the same time I'd be getting a flagship experience
The a 55 has bigget battery and gets 4 android updates but has no telezoom. I like telezoom thats why I keep s20 fe but I wouldn't buy it today
Definitely new a55 the battery of s20fe is pain

@@ryanjames1362 definitely samsung just be aware you would need to charge for few minutes during day (I got like 4.5h of screen time.. but if you arent heavy user you are fine)
I can buy one for £100, I think that's a decent price
Love this phone please compare to 21fe
I got this phone for $157 like new
The last cheap phone to support SDcard from Samsung themselves, "revolution" was a mistake.
2024 and this phone still worth the price for software-hardware balancing, wish Xiaomi could be like this lmao
Cheap phone? Bro when it was first released it wasn't cheap...it was a premium midrange range phone...around 60k
@@fat-batman_ still cheap if you compare to other phones at the same time lmao
