This review unit was provided by Samsung.
Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE) offers a host of features and its revamped design makes it one of the best-looking smartphones of this year.
The device was introduced last month and is priced at R17,995 – making it a serious competitor to other flagship devices while being considerably cheaper.
The Galaxy S20 FE is affordable, but that doesn’t mean it makes any compromises. It features an updated design and color scheme, a professional-grade camera, and an incredible display.
Samsung said its Galaxy S20 FE was built based on feedback from Samsung customers, who were surveyed on a number of topics to inform the features that are implemented in the Galaxy S20 FE.
Samsung said that the Galaxy S20 FE will offer the following features that were the most sought after by consumers:
- Professional level camera
- Range of different colors
- High refresh rate display
- All day battery
Samsung South Africa provided us with a Galaxy S20 FE to review and we quickly became the new fans of this customer-focused smartphone.
Attractive design and excellent hardware
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is available in four colors: Cloud Navy, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, and Cloud Red.
The model we tested had the Cloud Navy finish and was equipped with 4G, 128GB of storage, and 6GB of RAM.
What makes the Galaxy S20 FE such an attractive smartphone is the retention of the high-end features that are present in Samsung’s other flagship devices.
These include IP68 water and dust resistance, a massive 4,500 mAh battery to last all day, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for high-speed local network connections.
The Galaxy S20 FE also features the same Exynos 990 chipset used in the Galaxy S20, making it a serious competitor to the more expensive Galaxy devices in terms of performance.
We were very impressed with the battery life and were pleased to note that the smartphone supported both fast charging and wireless reverse charging.
Stunning display
However, the best features of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE are its high-quality screen and impressive camera technology.
Samsung increased the screen size of the Galaxy S20 FE to 6.5 inches, offering a larger high-quality FHD + AMOLED display.
More impressive, however, is the smartphone’s screen’s 120Hz refresh rate, which makes everything from gaming to menu navigation feel twice as fluid.
Simply swiping through Android menus and switching between apps feels incredibly fast and incredibly responsive, and this change enhances the experience of using this device across apps.
Another great feature of the Galaxy S20 FE is the triple-lens camera on the back of its chassis that supports 30x spatial zoom.
This camera system consists of a 12MP ultra-wide camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP wide camera. The smartphone also has a 32MP punch-hole front camera for high-quality selfies.
Both camera systems offer excellent night shots and portrait images, making the Galaxy S20 FE a great choice for lovers of smartphone photography.
Like other Galaxy S devices, the Galaxy S20 FE supports Knox and Samsung Pay security, providing added convenience for storing confidential information and making cashless payments at most checkout points in South Africa.
