Samsung officially launches the Galaxy S20 FE, features premium-level specifications at an accessible price point

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

We have been hearing rumors for quite some time about a fan edition of the S20 in the making by Samsung. The company has finally taken the wraps off and has officially unveiled its latest addition called the Galaxy S20 FE. The new smartphone comes with similar specifications of the Galaxy S20 series, different storage options, and 5G/non-5G models, all at an affordable price point.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display panel and comes with a screen resolution of 1080p+. The displays offer a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming. However, the high refresh rate becomes active when the screen resolution is dropped down to 1080p. That said, the smartphone brings support for HDR10+ content. The Galaxy S20 FE  comes with the IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. The device is almost the same size as the previously announced Galaxy S20+ and is slightly thicker at 8.4mm. On the contrary, the Galaxy S20+ is 7.8mm thick. That said the new Galaxy S20 FE weighs 190g, which is just 4g more than the weight of the Galaxy S20+. The Galaxy S20 FE runs on Android 10 OS with One UI 2.5 out of the box.

Since the new Galaxy S20 Fan Edition comes in both 5G and non-5G models, both the models come in different chipsets. The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC (non-Plus variant), while the standard Galaxy S20 FE packs the Exynos 990 processor. Both the chips are highly capable processors and features 8 cores. It should be noted that the Exynos 990 is also used on the Galaxy S20 and S20+ series of devices. Both the FE 5G and non-5G models are available in 128GB storage/6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage/ 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage/ 8GB RAM configurations.

The device also comes with a triple-camera configuration, featuring a 12MP shooter as the main camera sensor with F1.8 as the aperture, the 8MP telephoto shooter with F2.0 and 30X space zoom, and another 12MP snapper for ultrawide shots. The main camera sensor with 12MP is actually the same 1/1.7″ sensor used on the Galaxy S20 and S20+ devices. The sensor is touted for its high-quality images and low-light capability. The smartphone also packs a 32MP selfie snapper on the front side with an aperture of F2.0.

The Galaxy S20 FE series also comes with a 3.5mm audio jack. The optical fingerprint is located right under the display panel. The S20 Fan Edition also houses a large 4500 mAh battery, which is also the same battery capacity of the S20+. The S20 FE offers 15W fast charge capability via the USB Type-C port, fast wireless charging, 25W USB Power delivery 3.0, Bluetooth 5.0, AKG-optimized speakers with Dolby Audio, Single/Dual SIM editions, and more.

UPDATE: The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is now available for preorder. Do keep in mind that the 128GB variant for both 4G and 5G models are available in the UAE. The 4G model costs 2499 AED and is available in Cloud Lavender, Cloud Orange, Cloud Red, Cloud Mint, Cloud White, and Cloud Navy colors. The 5G model is priced at 2699 AED and comes in Cloud Lavender, Cloud White, and Cloud Navy colors.
