 Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Best Review

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Best Review: It's a comprehensive mobile with a 120Hz screen, quicker Exynos 990 chip, impressive triple cameras, along with a battery that lasts all day long.

Buying a flagship during a pandemic is a bit complicated and selling one becomes way harder.  However, Samsung has a solution to market a flagship device for an affordable price without cutting too many corners.  

Its Galaxy S20 FE (that stands for"fan variant") appears to be the perfect pandemic flagship smartphone you may want in 2020.  This is not a cheaper Galaxy S20 as many'd originally hoped it'd be.   I used the Galaxy S20 FE for a couple of days and was surprised by its performance.  Here is my assessment of this Galaxy S20 FE.

What is new?

The Galaxy S20 FE's layout language is based on other phones in the Galaxy S20 family, which is a good thing.  The S20 FE is identical to the Galaxy S20 using a metal frame and a screen with slender bezels which has a centered hole punch cutout, but its rear is made of plastic. 

I thought the phone had a glass back but it's really a high-quality, matte plastic instead of shiny glass.  Does that really disturb me?  My response to your question is a big'No'.  

Look, glass springs are easy to hell and break, the expense of replacing them is astronomically large.  The other problem with glass is precisely how easily it scratches.

The point I am attempting to make is that there is not anything wrong with a plastic back.  The back of the phone looks like glass for me, thanks to its frosted finish.  

Best of all, the Galaxy S20 FE nevertheless comes with Qi wireless charging with support for Wireless PowerShare.  What is more, the Galaxy S20 FE is IP68 water-resistant so your phone will not get damaged if it accidentally slips right into a pool of water.

The good thing about the Galaxy S20 FE is that it does not like a cheap phone.  It feels solid in the hand, and it is comfortable to use even despite having a 6.5-inch display.  

My review unit arrived in a cloud mint color, however, you can buy the telephone in four more splashy colour options, including a lavender purple, cloud blue, cloud red and cloud white.

There are two physical buttons around the Galaxy S20 FE, a volume rocker close to the very top, and a power or Bixby button.  

The 3.5millimeter headphone jack has been taken away on the Galaxy S20 FE but Samsung carries a set of USB-C earbuds using the telephone.  On top of the device, there is a slot to accommodate a SIM card as well as a microSD card. 

On the back of the phone is a rectangular-shaped camera selection.  You'll find a total of three cameras on the back of the apparatus, among which will be an ultra-wide-angle lens.

What's good?

I am not a huge fan of big screens-sized smartphones but most folks will love the enormous 6.5-inch screen on the S20 FE.  It is brilliant and gets really bright even in direct sunlight.  

A large screen makes a enormous difference if you wish to see videos or play games.  Watching Netflix's Enola Holmes on the S20 FE shows what the display is capable of.  

Samsung also includes a new 120Hz mode that's off by default but may be switched on.  It makes all look smooth, be it Twitter, Facebook or matches.  

This is the identical technology that may likewise be seen in Apple's iPad Guru but regrettably, the iPhone 12 nonetheless has a 60Hz display.

At the heart of the Galaxy S20 FE is an Exynos 990 processor (Samsung is only selling a 4G model in India) the exact same chip that also powers the flagship Galaxy S20 Ultra.   Throughout my testing, that lasted over a weekI did not encounter stutter or slowness with apps or even running matches.  

I could open a number of apps at precisely the same time, watch YouTube and chat with a friend on Facebook Messenger using apps in split-screen style and the phone never froze.  The apparatus can run a bit hot, but only after a long gaming session.

The Galaxy S20 FE packs a 4500mAh battery.  During daily usage, I never had to charge the phone prior to the close of the day.  It could last much longer, had I been a demanding user.  

The addition of Qi wireless charging with support for Wireless Power Share is a smart move, though I prefer wired charging over wireless charging anyway, given how long it takes to charge the phone with a wireless charger.

Perhaps my favourite feature of the Galaxy S20 FE is its cameras.  In total, there are four cameras.  The back camera setup includes a 12MP front-facing camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 12MP megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom.  On the front, you will find a 32MP camera for both selfies and video calling.   

Rather, the S20 FE can go all of the way around 30x zoom utilizing a blend of hardware and AI, though it only supports optical zoom around 3x.  I got excellent results with all the 3x optical zoom.  But anything over 10x digital zoom will affect quality.  You may observe the gap between 3x and 10x photographs below.

The wide-angle lens captures plenty of details, especially when shooting outdoors.  Colours are high and the detector delivers excellent image quality.  The extra Night mode takes images shot in dark environments and utilizes applications processing to compensate for the specifics that typically get lost in low-light.  

The ultra-wide lens may snap great images.  The front-facing 32MP camera generates decent selfies.  There is also a"Single shot" feature that automatically requires a lot of pictures and videos within 10 seconds.  It's enjoyable to use.

The Galaxy S20 FE includes Android 10 using Samsung's One UI 2 running on top of that.  The interface is simple, and I found it highly customisable.   It's fast and fast, though I prefer a side-mounted detector on the Galaxy M31s.

While I mainly enjoyed the Galaxy S20 FE, I'd locate one large issue with the phone.  Samsung carries a 15-watt charger in the box, which is not acceptable.  It is a bummer that the Galaxy S20 FE does not come with a fast charger brick, even though it supports around 25-watt wired charging.

It is a comprehensive phone using a 120Hz screen, quicker Exynos 990 processor, impressive triple cameras, and a battery that lasts all day long.  The 5G connectivity is missing, but most users won't overlook that.  

For Rs 49,999, you're obtaining a flagship in a compelling price, and that is a major deal in the pandemic.
