Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G review: The 'flagship-killer' with a Korean touch
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was launched as a kind of farewell to the Galaxy S20 line, replacing the "Lite" suffix of the previous generation. The model obviously came with some compromises compared to the original model, supposedly catering to its "fans" - hence the Fan Edition moniker.- 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 SoC is still fast in 2021, Good battery life, Good quality plastic finish, IP68 certification, 3x optical zoom
- Not so fast charging, No headphone jack, 30x zoom is just a marketing gimmick
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Navy) AU - Excellent review
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.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Navy) AU - Excellent review
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.

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
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Navy) AU - Excellent review
The high points are undoubtedly the refresh rate, chipset, and cameras, but most other aspects impress too. Really the only significant issue is the phone’s largely plastic build – which at this price isn’t really acceptable, but when it’s allowed for so much tech to be packed in it’s a lot more...- Smooth, high-quality 120Hz screen, Excellent triple-lens camera, Plenty of power
- Plastic back, Only FHD+ resolution, Middling 6GB of RAM

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.- Beautiful 120Hz AMOLED display, Great battery life, Snapdragon 865 (on 5G model)
- ‘Glasstic’ body, Limitations on video recording, Have to pay for faster charger
The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition Is Samsung’s Best Phone of 2020
By trimming the fat from its highest-end Galaxy handset, Samsung inadvertently made one of the best Android phones of 2020.- Competitive price. Large display with a buttery smooth 120-Hz refresh rate. Day-long battery life. Versatile cameras. Speedy performance. Support for 5G. Wireless charging. Water resistance. The plastic back means one less area to shatter after a drop.
- The fingerprint sensor is unreliable. The cameras over-saturate and aren't quite as good as the Pixel 5's.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Navy) AU - Excellent review
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
