Not very ‘lite’ in price, Cheap-feeling design, Battery life feels lacking

Though the switch to glasstic is a bit of a disappointment, there's a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE - including the Snapdragon 865, a first for UK fans, and a gorgeous 6.5in 120Hz AMOLED display.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE undercuts the S20 on price but with similar specifications, where are the cutbacks?

Plastic design, Lower resolution screen, Not quite the best value

Galaxy S20 FE has added an extra level of excitement to this year’s Samsung flagship – from finally bringing a Snapdragon processor to the device in the UK to adding a bunch of vibrant colour options. There’s tough competition from OnePlus 8T and Pixel 5 but the S20 FE is ready for the fight.

“Most of the great Galaxy S20 experience, for hundreds of dollars less -- that's a winning combination.”

No Space Zoom, Not the absolute best low-light camera performance
