We all know that the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is making the flagship series more affordable, but the way it manages to achieve it is pretty amazing. Starting with its large 6.5-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ capability; it is then fully protected with it having the IP68 certification and Gorilla Glass. The only downside is on its plastic body, which is an acceptable trade-off.
Moving on to what’s under the hood of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, here we find it powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset with a speedy Kryo octa-core processor, good graphics and 6GB or 8GB RAM. This ensures enough firepower to run just about anything that you can throw at it, and still have plenty more to spare.
Next, we have the 12MP+8MP+12MP+ triple primary camera setup with all the features and functions almost similar to its full-blown sibling.
Frame up the scene with the Wide-angle Camera, then go more expansive with the Ultra Wide Camera or zoom in up with 3x Optical Zoom on the Telephoto Camera. Then we have the 32MP selfie camera which allows for great-looking selfies with ease. Be the star of the shot and enjoy more detail in your photos and videos.
Storage-wise, you get to choose either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage that can be easily added with more space via the available microSDXC expansion slot.
With 4500 mAh battery supplying the necessary juice to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, you get the feeling that it can easily last for a good day or two in between charging.
The latest Android 10.0 operating system and 5G connectivity further add more value to the Galaxy S20 FE 5G.
Conclusion:
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G provides for a cheaper alternative for those of you who want to own a piece of the flagship minus the hefty price tag. You will still be getting a decent flagship that can easily beat others with its powerful hardware, fantastic camera and large battery capacity.
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G is expected to be released on October 2nd 2020. It will be available in a variety of colours: Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy, Cloud White, Cloud Red and Cloud Orange. It can be had for a price tag of 699 USD, which is a bargain.
