For The Fans! The Galaxy S20FE Finally Revealed

smartphonesshop.com.au - We’d heard heaps of rumours about the elusive Galaxy S20FE or “Fan Edition,” with a leaked video from the ever-reliable Jimmy is Promo confirming its existence. Now, we’re happy to say that Samsung has officially revealed the Galaxy S20FE. It’s no surprise though, especially with their release of the Galaxy S10e last year and the iPhone SE 2020 redefining what a mid-range flagship could be. Either way, it’ll be great to own a smartphone from a flagship range without the bloated price that normally comes with it!

For The Fans

If the S20 range caught your eye like the rest of us, but the price tag was perhaps a little too much to swallow, Samsung has been listening to your concerns. It was certainly bad luck at the beginning for the company, releasing the best phone yet in their Galaxy series, only for COVID-19 to hit, forcing many to reassess their budget. With the Fan Edition, its come at the more modest price of $699 US or $999 Aus while being a great introduction into the beastly Galaxy S20 series. The S20FE brings the best of the S20 range, with a couple of compromises, but with a price tag like this, we’re hardly complaining!

Special/Exclusive/Essential Edition

The specs for the Galaxy S20FE show just how much Samsung has jam packed into this device, but there are also some compromises which are to be expected as well. Let’s get the “bad” news out of the way first. The resolution has dropped from 1440 x 3200 pixels down to 1080x2400, slightly higher than the Galaxy S10e, but still, those of you who have seen an S10e in action know just how dazzling its screen can look. Tekdeeps have also reported that the Galaxy S20FE has an 8 MP sensor with 3x optical zoom instead of the 64 MP sensor present in the Galaxy S20. There’s also the omission of a headphone jack, but that was somewhat expected. Apart from that, you’ve basically got yourself a mid-range device powerful enough to stand with the flagships. It is part of the S20 family after all.

 

So why is the Galaxy S20FE sufficient enough to be a part of the S20 range? Where do we start? The inclusions such as a 120HZ refresh rate which was absent from the recent Note20, an eye-popping 6.5 inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED screen that will look just as good as real life (maybe not that far but pretty close) and a monstrous 4500mAH battery that means you won’t be running for a charger in the middle of the day, because what good is a smartphone’s features if the battery can’t handle them? Android Authority has also noted that the 120Hz can be on at all times on the S20FE as well as a 240Hz touch response rate, which conveniently activates itself when games are running. Talk about an unfair advantage!

Fan Selfies

As with any smartphone release, one of the first things that we want to know is how powerful the camera is, as our selfie and food porn addiction seems to grow every day. The influencer within you will be ecstatic to hear that the Galaxy S20FE is a treat when it comes to photography. Techradar were particularly impressed with their hands-on with the device, reporting that even housing inferior camera specs compared to the S20, with a 32MP selfie camera, two 12MP wide-angle cameras and an 8MP telephoto camera on the rear, photos came out vibrant and sharp, making the difference between the S20’s cameras negligible. They were also amazed by the autofocus, especially since it hasn’t been perfect in previous Samsung devices. The 3x optical and digital zoom also proved to be handy in their tests as well. To summarise, you’ll be happy and snappy with the Galaxy S20FE.

 

Galaxy S20FE Reveal


Just Fanboying

What about the chip and processor? Once again Samsung has brought out our inner fanboy by making sure the Galaxy S20FE feels just as powerful as its older siblings. Going back to Techradar’s hands on with the device, they’re fond of the specs included, with an Exynos 990 chipset in the 4G variant alongside a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 in the 5G edition. Both versions of the S20FE also come with a generous 6GB of Ram and a respectable 128GB of storage for the 4G model and 256GB in the 5G variant according to Gizmodo. If that isn’t enough for you, you’ll be able to expand the memory up to 1TB! At this rate, it’s almost insulting to call the Galaxy S20FE a mid-range release.

Join the Fan Club

After the release of the iPhone Se 2020, it changed the way we viewed mid-range releases. Most would call Samsung the King of the mid-range, especially with their fantastic Galaxy A Series range, but the most noteworthy aspect of the Galaxy S20FE is that it’s the chance to be a part of the elitist S20 club without an enormous compromise. Hell, even Apple didn’t include their Special Edition release this year as part of the iPhone 11 range, so it should tell you just how much special Samsung wants the Galaxy S20FE to be!
