A few Samsung reps have been saying it's called the "Fan Edition" because it "delivers fan favorite features at a more accessible price."

The FE is a beastly phone. The 865processer is extremely fast. That 120hz display is excellent. Cameras & battery are very nice. Is this FE a homerun, yes absolutely especially for what's offered & price!

Watching this from my mint green Samsung S20 FE.

Couldn't be happier 💚

I am buying this for my dad! His birthday is in two weeks, and this is the first time in my life that I can actually afford to buy him a decent gift, and this is going to be it! It just seems a much better choice than the Samsung A52.

Samsung in our country: we'll only offer the Exynos version, for the price of the 5G Snapdragon version

Might as well call it S20 FU here

Who caresss about the plastic back obviously it looks washed up but most of the people will put a CASE ON THE

[Solemn_Kaizoku]

This looks impressive, especially for the price. I just wish these companies would realize people want them to leave our aux ports alone!

Yeeyyyy at least i got charger inside the box..

What a well detailed video, but not too long, but still covered everything. And what a pleasing voice you have. Think I'll get this phone

[TwoHemiViewer]

Well presented with good detail. Well done.

This phone is almost perfect if you can compromise the headphone jack

[rocksteady]

if it had a headphone jack it'd be almost perfect, kinda big but not crazy huge

I've been using a Galaxy S5 since 2014 (there's a reason) and I just upgraded to the S20 FE. Aside from the amazing differences between the two phones, the FE is probably everything I'll need from a phone for quite some time! The curved screen on the flagship model is really nice but I can get along just fine without it. The plastic back on the FE doesn't matter as I'll be using a case. Speaking to that point, why is the phone's back so important, does anyone not use a case? I'm 71 and have been using computers since the late 90's and while I can't do things like write code, I'm fairly tech savvy. But man, I was out of touch with the progress of cell phones o.0 There are so many features on the FE which weren't on the S5 and with the almost endless abilities to customize it, its like stepping into the future, LOL! Anyway, I'm liking the S20 FE and it's good to know that others think its a good phone at a decent price.

If the FE series have a headphone jack then it would've sell like hot cakes.

me and my GF just got these phones yesterday so far so good i just had a Samsung s8+ she had an older LG lol so this is a huge upgrade for her. i did want the Samsung s20 ultra but didn't see a point right now but so far she really loves the phone and i like it too i do wish the volume was on the other side like my S8+ but thats just something ill get used to. awesome review btw.

[AbsintheReverie]

I still have an S7 that is starting to slow down a bit and wanted to upgrade and this seems like the best choice. I like that it still has expandable storage and is a much better price than the newer models which don't have that option.
