Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is close to being the perfect combination of specifications and price.

Really nice screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, good build quality and matte back, good all-round camera, high performance and generally you get alot for your money.

The screen resolution is not as high as on the other models in the Galaxy S20 series. Comes with only 15 watt charger in the box, although 25 watt charging is supported.

Praise be to the mighty Samsung, for it has heard our pleas of “ good freakin’ grief, phones are getting too expensive .” In its infinite wisdom, it hath remade the Galaxy S20, flagship from earlier in 2020, with slightly cheaper materials and components.

Flagship hardware, Almost no compromise on features, Big, beautiful screen, Solid battery life

Phone's a little big for my taste, Deep camera bump, Camera downgrade versus S20

All the essentials for $699

Reasonable price, 120Hz screen, Good cameras

Samsung’s photo tuning is unnecessarily aggressive, Fingerprint sensor a tick too slow, Samsung’s software regressing to a messy norm

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is billed as the flagship phone experience for 2020, but if we’re being honest with ourselves, it’s likely “too much” phone for most people. The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE), arrived a few months after the standard bearer, bringing about most of the S20’s top features, but with...

Samsung's top-end phones are getting more and more expensive at an alarming rate, as evidenced by the fact that very few people bought an S20 during the series's launch window. Seeing the gap to fill between bargain-bin budget phones and outright luxury devices, this week, Samsung launched the...

Features The S20 FE has all the bells and whistles you could hope for., Performance The Snapdragon 865 is eminently capable., Display Big, bright enough, 120Hz., Price $700 is very fair for a phone this good. $600 is a steal.

Fingerprint reader It's okay, but the FE's optical in-display scanner is far from top-of-the-line., Camera You can get some great shots out of the FE, but there's still the typical Samsung goofiness., Software updates The FE ships with Android 10. Android 11 is one of its three promised OS updates.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE at an event called "Galaxy for every fan", and FE stands for Fan Edition. It was meant to be a Galaxy flagship that was more affordable for Samsung fans, but for me, it wasn't that because I wasn't really a Samsung fan.

Flagship performance, A Snapdragon chip in Europe, Display, Stereo sound, Not many compromises

Camera loses appeal at, night time, A bit more RAM would be nice

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch
