For those who want to save: a phone with good configuration, and the wallet will not leave holes

And it’s really noteworthy. For those who managed to take advantage of additional “bonuses” at the beginning of the negotiation, a better offer could hardly be expected this year. The company is very generous and by returning the old device, it gives the new one a good enough discount. If you don’t have a place to put your old smartphone, which is already depreciating over time, the offer is worth taking advantage of.

Colors for those who like to stand out

As always, talking about design is very subtle, because the best thing for everyone is to choose an intelligent one according to personal needs. The most important thing is that he likes himself, not the critic. Lately, a lot of the flagships have gotten a little big, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, while very functional, are too big for me personally.

Yes, the displays are impressive and can handle everyday tasks more comfortably, but you want something more compact. For me personally, the size of the Samsung Galaxy S20 is ideal, but the camera and battery life are disappointing. The Galaxy S20 FE is slightly larger, but comfortable to use.

The best settings on this phone are. They are as good as the more expensive S20 Series models, with savings where performance is unaffected. The good news is that the S20 FE has the same processor as the other models in the S20 series. You can use two SIM cards or expand the internal memory with a micro SD card. The phone is protected from dust and water and the display has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The saddest thing is that Samsung fans in the US got a Snapdragon 865 processor that supports 5G connectivity, and in some tests it seems superior to the Exynos version.

Yes, 5G is not widely used, but telecommunications company Telia has already given its customers the opportunity to try it. The main competitors of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE in a similar price range, the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro or OnePlus 8T, have the fastest communication technology and it is already working.

The plastic back doesn’t give the feel of a premium flagship, but hardly anyone uses a smartphone without a case. Particularly more expensive models need to be protected as glass backs break faster. However, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE only wants to be carried without a case, because choosing the color of your favorite phone can make it stand out from the rest.

Padori camera

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra with its 108MP camera, which came out earlier this year, promised a revolution in photography, but the S20 series, which came out this spring, personally disappointed me with its cameras. If the photo of the Sasmung Galaxy S10 + worked for the first time, the photos taken with the Galaxy S20 Ultra had a lot of focus problems.

According to the experts at DxOmark, the S20 Ultra has the highest rating, but it only ranks ninth on the list, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra performed even worse. I would very much like that the flagship of a South Korean company finally surpasses the others and becomes number one not only in sales but in the field of cameras.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE doesn’t have as many pixels. Three cameras on the rear: 12MP f / 1.8 26 mm (wide angle), 8 MP f / 2.4 76 mm (telephoto) and 12 MP f / 2.2 13 mm (ultra wide angle) and front camera 32 MP f / 2.2 26 mm. There are no more focusing issues with this model, and the result is very similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy Note20 Ultra, only the color balance in some photos taken with the Galaxy S20 FE looks a bit cooler. It is already a matter of taste, which colors are sweeter.

Photos on Samsung smartphone are really cool both day and night. Optical zoom only three times and digital up to 30 times, but maximum up to 10 times actually used. Although then there must be an ideal lighting, and the best: a sunny day. These days in winter are extremely rare in Lithuania, so night photography is also important. The good thing is that you can shoot at night with all three cameras, only the photo taken with an ultra wide angle camera looks a bit worse.

The nuances of video recording and Pro mode

I’m not a selfie lover or a modern influencer who posts every step of the way, but I do film and photograph a lot over the phone. Working Delphi It is very important for a television operator to have a good camera handy. Manufacturers now place a great emphasis on smart cameras, and while filming the Christmas tree lighting in Cathedral Square, I noticed that most take out their phones to capture the moment.

The shooting quality of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is not bad either, there are only a few nuances. Above all, stability when zooming. If stability is still excellent after zooming five times with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, it is recommended to have a stabilizer or mount when zooming three times with the Galaxy S20 FE.

Pro mode or 60 frames per second were the most common. If you choose FullHD or 4K 60 frames per second, you can only use one camera and three on the back. All can be used with a recording quality of just 30 frames per second. The same goes for Pro mode, where you can control everything manually. For both shooting and shooting, there is only one camera left to choose from. This is the case for all Samsung flagships. Surprisingly, Xiaomi, Asus or Huawei phones allow you to select different cameras by selecting manual settings. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE also has an HDR10 + movie mode, but its choice is very inconvenient as is the video recording resolution itself. It would be more convenient to control everything on the camera itself when shooting and filming, rather than wandering through the settings.

Summary

Without a doubt, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Smart is the best and most practical option this year if you are a fan of Samsung. In the face of a pandemic, price is very important and this phone provides everything you need from a flagship, even if you save some material. However, the seduction of this phone can hamper the main competitors in a similar price range. The Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro has a screen refresh rate of up to 144Hz and great battery life, while the OnePlus 8T has 65W fast charging technology, the latest version of Android, and an attractive and simple Oxygen user interface. .

Key benefits: fast processor, smooth 120Hz Super AMOLED screen, protection against dust and water, good camera, different colors.

The main cons: There is no 5G connection, the finger recognition sensor does not always work, and the battery life is not very pleasant when used more actively.
