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

I can’t say enough good things about the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and if you want a phone that feels very much like a flagship without spending over £699 then this is the best that’s currently on offer.

Snapdragon 865 even in the UK model, Better battery life than other S20 models, Nice range of colours, Flat 120Hz display

You have to pay more for the faster charger, Secondary cameras aren’t the most detailed

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.
