Introduction

This ones for the fans! Or for the chemistry students with a penchant for iron alloys? It's not 'lite,' that's for sure. This is the Galaxy S20 FE 5G (or Fan Edition). The latest member of the S20 family comes with some spec changes to meet a lower price point, while still maintaining important bits to qualify for the S-series badge.

One of those is the high-end chipset, and that's a good point to clarify that not all FEs are the same - there is a 5G-capable version and an LTE-capped one. The 4G-only model follows the usual regional differentiation with some parts of the world getting the Exynos 990 while others have their FEs equipped with the Snapdragon 865.

On the other hand, the 5G model is Snapdragon-only this time, regardless of locale. It's this version that we're reviewing, though we may be dropping the '5G' when referring to the phone for the remainder of this review.

Placed in between the S20 and S20+ in terms of screen size, the Fan Edition packs a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display. This one's not HDR10+ compliant and has a FullHD resolution next to its QHD brethren, but Samsung did keep the 120Hz refresh rate.

As part of the tri-set of cameras on the FE, it gets to keep the S20s main big-sensor 12MP shooter. itel s15 pro price in Bangladesh. The ultra-wide-angle cam takes 12MP shots too, but from a smaller imager than on the non-fan editions. And the telephoto is different too - fans will be shooting with an 8MP almost-3x zoom unit, as opposed to the slightly odd 64MP non-tele tele setup on the S20 and S20+. Meanwhile, the selfie camera on the FE is a 32MP Tetracell unit, which may sound like an upgrade compared to the 10MP modules of the S20 and S20+, but there's more to that as you go deeper. We'll be doing all sorts of camera comparisons later on, of course.

Tere are some other less apparent downgrades here and there. Like the as-yet unspecified type of glass on the front instead of Gorilla Glass 6 and the plastic back where the non-fan S20s have more Gorilla Glass 6. The Fan Edition also tops out at 8GB of RAM (6GB in the base version), while the regular S20s start at 8GB and can be had even with 12GB. walton s7 pro price in bangladesh.

Whether it's an upgrade, a downgrade, or simply a side-step, the Fan Edition gets an optical fingerprint reader, not the controversial ultra-sonic reader of the other phones in the Galaxy S and Note roster.

Filed strictly under downgrades, however, is the retail bundle.

The S20 FE's box is Fan Edition too - it's not the black packaging of the true flagships. It's still the same thick cardboard, only white, and the S20 name is printed on the front, just like on the non-FEs. There are many emoji-looking imprints, something you don't get on the regular S20 or Note20 boxes.

There's special treatment on the inside too, but not the good kind. The accessories package is rather sparse, and besides the phone, you're only getting an adapter and a cable to go with it. Even worse, it's the plain old Adaptive Fast Charging unit that's Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 compliant - 15W max, USB-A out - lame. Non-fans are treated to a 25W adapter and earphones, but the budget cuts for this one didn't allow for such frivolous expenses.

Design

The Galaxy S20 FE has a distinctly Samsung looks, thanks to the central punch hole in the display and the camera arrangement on the back. Despite the obvious brand affiliation, the Fan Edition doesn't quite accomplish an S-series impression - it gives off more of an 'A' vibe.

For example, the Fan Edition has thicker bezels all around, and we all know nothing says 'premium' quite as loud as minimal bezels. It's not like the black frame around the display is overly thick. It's just that it's not as 'flagship-grade' as on the other S20s.

Another mark of a high-end phone, particularly in Samsung's world, is a curved screen. While they have been reducing the effect on recent models, the S20 phones still have a millimeter of a sloped edge on the sides. Well, the FE is entirely flat.

The punch hole is tiny, we'll give the FE that - it's tinier than what the Note20 has, for what that's worth. Then again, it's also tiny on the Galaxy A51 5G, for example.

Perhaps the one most notable difference in the build quality of the Fan Edition compared to the other S20s is the material used for the back. Where the S20 and S20+ used glass, the S20 FE's rear panel is plastic. symphony l300 price in Bangladesh  It's got a satin finish, and it's about as slippery as they come. While it rarely looks pristine, it's certainly miles better than a glossy glass panel when it comes to accumulating fingerprints.

Despite the change in material, the Galaxy S20 FE is still IP68 - like the big boys. Not that we expected the rear panel to be any more water permeable than a glass one, it's just that dust and water protection is hard to find at this price point.

The S20 FE is available in six colors - Navy, Lavender, Mint, Red, Orange, and White, all of them with a Cloud prefix. Our review unit is the blandest of the bunch, the Cloud Navy one.

Over on the front, the AMOLED display is covered with an unspecified glass - it's likely not the sixth generation Gorilla Glass that you can find on the S20 and S20+, and it's most definitely not the Victus that the Note20 Ultra gets either.

What's not changed is the frame material - it's aluminum on the FE as it is on the other S20s. The bits along the frame are arranged identically too. The power button and the volume rocker are on the right in a slightly enlarged portion of the otherwise slender aluminum outline, while nothing is spoiling the minimalist left side. The bottom is home to the USB-C port, the main loudspeaker, and the primary mic.

The Galaxy S20 FE measures 159.8x74.5x8.4mm, which is 2mm shorter than the S20+, but 0.8mm wider and 0.6mm thicker. While the height difference is hardly noticeable, the extra thickness, marginal increase in width, and the flat front all combine to create a boxier in-hand feel when comparing against the S20+ - and the S20+ does have a bigger display, at that.
