And Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has such features: a slot for two SIM cards, cut-out notch above the screen (so that a selfie camera, speakers and additional sensors are placed there), dust and water protection.

Important update: this model is updated to Android version 12.
Check the availability of the update version in your region on the manufacturer’s website.

Android version and market relevance

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is a novelty of 2020, which was officially announced in September the world′s electronics manufacturer — the company Samsung. In addition, this smartphone supports the work of two SIM cards, here you are, and please, the first reason for buying this model (or any other dual-smartphone from the catalog).

In 2020 this new model works out of the box running the Android operating system 10. But in the market of android-smartphones an important factor when buying a new device is the possibility of updating it to a fresh version of the OS. So Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has not received any software updates, which is very sad, so we advise you to look at other DROID-smartphones in our catalog.

And also it is worth mentioning that the manufacturer did not implement support for 5G networks in Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Therefore, if this is an actual requirement for a smartphone for you today, we advise you to choose any 5G smartphone from this list of models.

Screen, body and battery

The case Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has got interesting features: very thin side frames, cutout above the screen for a selfie camera and sensors, protection from dust and water (in the standards allowed by the standard, the smartphone can be influenced by water, submerged, etc.).

The screen Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is made using the Super AMOLED technology, has a diagonal 6.5 inches and refresh rate 120 Hz. If the smoothness of the interface is important for you (especially in mobile games), then you need to choose smartphones with screens that have a refresh rate higher than 120 times per second. Such a very large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case, which has a thickness of 8.4 mm. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 4 500 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Samsung Galaxy S20 FE got the main camera with multiple modules (triple camera smartphones): 12 MP Wide + 8 MP Telephoto + 12 MP UltraWide. And there is also a front camera that has one module: 32 MP Wide. If you judge only by the number of megapixels, then the main camera is very weak. But the frontcamera very good, which will surprise you with its high quality shooting of selfie. It seems that we have already written many times that before buying you need to see a smartphone and hold it in your hands. And speaking about cameras, I would like to repeat the same idea once again — look at the reviews about this model, see examples of photos taken by this smartphone. It often happens that in search of a low price, you buy a model with a camera of tens of megapixels, but the photos and videos will not be of high quality.

Processor and Internal Memory

And write a few words about the performance of Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Of course, the very first thing that will be discussed is the processor. The model received a 8-core processor Exynos 990.

The second performance characteristic in our opinion is the amount of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has 6 installed on the RAM, but you can choose the version with 8 GB of RAM, to make the smartphone work even faster.

The built-in flash memory of this model has the volume 128 GB, but you can choose the version with 256 GB. The manufacturer did not forget about the support of memory cards in the smartphone. Here you can install a card microSDXC.

Price for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE: buy or not to buy?

$495 is the price for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with a fast processor, a huge touch screen, with an ordinary camera for photos and video, and with a cool selfie camera. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Above average smartphones from $400 to $500”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.

And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? This model received a very good battery with increased capacity.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE will be available after the beginning of official sales. We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.
