Samsung has recently launched the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, also known as FAN Edition. The device term FAN Edition is likely there to avoid the LITE or Young term from the suffix of the device name. There is nothing likely the device is, especially for the fans. Hence, we have seen Samsung launch the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition after a battery issue was found on their device.

So, let’s find out if the device is a fan edition or not! Let’s find out if the device is different from other flagship-series smartphones. First, the device comes with a 6.5-inch flat super AMOLED display panel featuring a Full HD+ display with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
 
On the other hand, the device has IP68 water and dust resistance, wireless charging, and a stereo speaker, bringing a lot of flagships to the table. However, in terms of camera performance, the device has a 12 MP f/1.8 primary camera sensor with OIS, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto lens with OIS, and a 12 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle lens. In contrast, the triple camera sensor and an LED flash module are placed in the upper left corner of the rear panel.

Moreover, the device doesn’t have a useless 2MP depth or macro lens; also, the device seems promising due to the camera samples suggested. The device has been running on the latest Android ten-based custom skin, One UI 2.5, where the new software optimization and features, such as Wireless DeX, are pretty great.

Furthermore, the device comes with Samsung flagship specs, suggesting the device is to be powered by an Exynos 990 Mobile platform paired with 6/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. There was a lot of discussion about the device that should be pushed with Qualcomm 865 SoC, and I feel the same, but for a region, the chipset was a flagship like Note 20 Ultra and S20 Ultra. Not to mention, Samsung didn’t include a headphone jack this time, either.
 
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is an affordable smartphone, so many things brought cost-cutting to the point at the same time. Comparing the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra. The device was plastic with a matte finish instead of glass; even the device front includes gorilla glass 3 compared to gorilla glass 6. However, the device didn’t have a 64MP camera; replacing it with a 12MP primary camera offers 4K at 60 fps video recording and 30x zoom compared with 8K at 24 fps. However, the device was relatively equal to the Samsung S20+ with 30x zoom and a 4500mAh battery.

We think that the device was quite balanced. Thanks for being with us. We would like to know your valuable opinion and feedback. If you have any queries, share them with us in the comment section below. Stay tuned for more updates in the future.
