At Rs 47,999, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G is a good option and you can buy it as there are several reasons for it. First of all, you get a smooth and fluid performance. The design, and the vibrant display is another advantage.

Free from gimmicks, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE appears to hit all the right notes. We think it could well be the pick of the S20 bunch - especially at this price point.

Great display, Flagship performance, Great speakers, MicroSD expansion, IP68 waterproof

Fingerprint scanner a bit hit and miss, No 3.5mm headphone socket

While the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition perhaps isn’t the best example of a ‘lite’ phone we’ve seen, it’s still a great choice for plenty of people who were interested in the standard Galaxy S20 but found that handset a little too expensive.

Can take great pictures, Powerful processor, Vibrant color options

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

Currently, Samsung just offers the Exynos 990, LTE variant here in the Philippines which is priced at PHP 35,990. If you want the 5G version, you’ll have to source the Snapdragon variant, which is not easy to get since Samsung is yet to offer it here.

The Galaxy S20 FE is much more than a Fan Edition, it’s the phone that Samsung needed for 2020. The prices of the flagship phones has grown out of control, combine that with a worldwide pandemic, and it was clear something needed to be done.

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

Better price than S20, Better battery life than S20, Better performance than S20 (on 5G version)

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

The increasing cost of flagship smartphones over the last couple of years has put them out of reach for many consumers. We all knew it was coming in late 2018 when Apple priced the iPhone X at a cool $999.

Snapdragon 865 Performance for $500 or less on sale, Beautiful AMOLED display with lots of brightness, Solid battery life, Decent camera array with AI digital zoom

Bought this on the Black Friday and I'm happy so far. I noticed people complaining about touch display glitches and about the accuracy of the fingerprint sensor. None of that has been an issue for me. I found the on-screen fingerprint sensor more convenient than the one on the back of my previous phone, a S9+. I've configured a lower display rate and the battery gets close to 20%/30% every other night. So I've been using the phone for two days on a single charge. Full disclaimer: I'm on wifi most of the day and only occasionally play lightweight games on the phone. I thought the front camera notch would be more annoying but it has been ok. I took a picture of a darkish room with the night camera it looked bright as day.

So happy. What a wonderful phone and great value for money. I bought the cloud lavender and it is so pretty. The phone is fantastic and takes beautiful pictures. There is nothing I don't love.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is a rarefied blend of performance, value and sound design that combines the excellent Snapdragon 865 processor, a 120Hz display, a great set of cameras and excellent battery life in an incredibly comprehensive package. This is one of the best Android phones of 2020.

Excellent performance with Snapdragon 865 CPU, Good cameras, Attractive colour variants, Smooth 120Hz display, Supports DeX mode, IP68 water resistance

No 3.5mm audio jack, No fast charger bundled with phone
