The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is finally official and promises to offer what fans really want at a lower price. It is similar to the current Galaxy S20 series and features almost everything you would expect from a flagship smartphone.
The Galaxy S20 FE comes with a 6.5 ″ Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED flat panel display that places it between the S20 and the S20 + in terms of screen size. It still pushes a 120Hz refresh rate but with a lower Full HD + resolution. There is also an in-display fingerprint sensor that is optical rather than ultrasonic.
Under the hood, it runs on a Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 processor and is also offered in LTE and 5G versions. Internally, it can be configured with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of storage that can still be expanded up to 1TB via microSD card.
In the camera department, the rear end takes a familiar hit with 3 cameras. It has a 12MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, and 8MP telephoto camera. The device has a 3x optical zoom and goes up to 30x in digital zoom. For selfies, you get a 32MP selfie shooter that sits in the hole in the screen.
Powering the S20 FE is a massive 4,500mAh battery that’s similar to the Galaxy S20 +. It also supports 25W fast charging via USB-C that boosts 50% charge in 30 minutes. There is also fast wireless charging along with Wireless PowerShare that allows you to charge other devices wirelessly on the back of the S20 FE.
Despite being a “cheaper” model, you also get IP68-rated water and dust resistance and Samsung Dex wireless as well. Another fan-favorite feature included is the AKG-tuned stereo speakers. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack that is expected on newer Samsung flagship models. The device also has NFC and MST for Samsung Pay, but it is only offered in select markets.
The Galaxy S20 FE comes in 6 different colors, namely Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Red, Cloud Orange, and Cloud White. In the US, it is priced at US $ 699 (around RM 2904), which is significantly more affordable than the base model Galaxy S20.
In the United States, it will be available on October 2 and pre-orders are available now. At the time of writing, Samsung Malaysia has yet to reveal our local pricing and availability details. Stay tuned to us for the latest update.
