[@greg1248]

the problem doesn't stop there - here in Australia, the prices for every pixel phone gets jacked up by about 20%, even if you consider exchange rates, and it's not worth the money at all

Definitely not in China. Plus you can't you stock Android there anyways, making S20 FE's feature-rich One UI more appealing.

1000$ android phones were only for the dumb. Wait 2 or 3 month and you will get the flagship for 600-700 bucks (my note9 2 months after release was 650, down from 999)

[@MHWGamer]

btw the note20 ultra is over 300€ (914€) down not even 2 months after launch, same with s20 ultra (930€) and the normal s20+ is 669€ right now. On black friday you will get a 50€ discount, so you are even cheaper than the new pixel to sum it up: Wait a few months and get the flagship for the same price as the new midrange phone

Decided to replace it when it won't read my SIM card anymore and since then I only bought the mid-range ones with the best bang for buck.

Manu Mohan you're more hard pressed to see value because of your personal preferences. There is no universal "value" because it's based on what, well, you value. I value different things and so the pixel 5 is more compelling, whereas for example if you value a fast processor the most the FE would be the more compelling sell.

[@anumahinkanda5648]

I think what dave was trying to say was company priority. The pixel 5 is Google's main priority(phone wise) for at least the next year, so a lot of attention to detail and software updates and support etc. will be dedicated to it. Where as the FE is essentially an after thought for samsung, a phone in the lineup to fill the gaps, less attention to detail, less focus on improvement, less optimization because "it's not one of our premium phones" mentality. It's the same reason that people still using the original pixel/pixel 2 GENERALLY are even today happy with their phones performance because time/focus has gone into developing them and optimizing them where a galalxy s8 or s9 from the same time period are annoying to use becasue they are laggy or randomly stop working mid app usage(my experience at least).

@@moealfaily1662 Exactly! Stock Android merely restricts you on those choices if you want something very feature-packed. You ain't getting any better performance (go look at speed tests between Samsung and Pixel devices), and all them "fast" updates you'll be getting in the future are merely playing catchup to feature-packed OEM skins. Case in point; literally EVERYTHING "new" to the pitifully-limited stock Android 11 has been on my 2017 Note 8 with Android 7 right out of the box! Stock Android is an overrated joke...

After several firmware updates to address the serious s20FE touchscreen ghosting issue, the problem is NOT 100% resolved ... and beginning to look like a hardware issue. Why is nobody here talking about this?

[@heathcoggan]

Yes! Main reason I didn't get the S20 FE and got the Pixel 5 instead. Plus here in AU the Pixel 5 is cheaper (compared too 5G model). Very happy with it, coming from a Galaxy S7.

[@Dance_of_a_tree_called_life]

@@heathcoggan that's exactly what i decided on as well. The s20's tech issue saved me from giving in to one more Samsung UI bloatware experience. Looking forward to the the Pixel's cleaner function and balanced photos

Honestly, my 150$ Xiaomi phone from China (all phones are from there anyways ;p) is pretty much my ideal phone. 0 Lag, 0 Ads, 0 slowdown, big battery, good enough camera, tons of storage and 6 inch screen. To think i had to spend 700$ for a phone like this just 10 years ago and now its just 150$.. (and its better than the one 10 years ago) is crazy to me. Top of the line phones seem super pointless to me.

not really I think the FE failed, cameras are not up to snuff when compared to the Pixel and iPhones of similar price, also it has a cheap plastic back. One Plus, Pixel and iPhone all offering premium materials for the money. Also Android 11 will probably come on the FE in 6 months which is too long to wait.

[@CerealforProtein]

I agree with you on this. Infact, to drive home the point more, Dave's comment about how not everyone likes Samsung's OneUI with its accompanying "bloat", is in my opinion, incorrect and could be his aesthetic or lifestyle bias/preferences being unintentionally highlighted. Rather, i would say that people enjoy the OneUI experience more than the plain and sparsely populated Stock experience. No matter how you slice it, more features add value. However, tech reviewers so easily dismiss these features as, "it's just software", but are not giving credit to the devs who are adding in all these value-added features. Lastly, the vast majority of people are huge consumers, and do not really subscribe to the "minimalist" lifestyle, who are in the minority. So, it would stand to reason they see more value in a feature-rich experience - "give me the works!"

[@mikeryan1043]

@@CerealforProtein This is only my experience but I don't know a single Samsung user who wouldn't want the bloatware to go away and would prefer stock Android on samsung phones every day of the week. Not only is it more elegant and simplistic, it also runs smoother and is less performance hungry.
