3.5 mm jack just makes a lot of difference to me.

[@senapathy1671]

same here

[@jimjones6901]

I thought the same until I found out they make 3.5mm to type-C cords. I have no idea how it works, but you can still use an aux cord in your car but you plug the other end into your charging port instead of a separate jack. So I guess if you want to charge and listen to music at the same time you can't, but otherwise it really isn't a big deal.

[@AnnieIsaLau]

So true !!!! I don't know why they don't put that on every phone.

[@senapathy1671]

@@AnnieIsaLau because now a days most ppl prefer using bluetooth earphones than wired ones

[@AnnieIsaLau]

@@senapathy1671 I use both. I have an older car, so no Bluetooth. I didn't want to buy a special device for that, but maybe I'll have no choice.

[@101Sailorfan]

This was a really great comprehensive review! The S20 FE definitely sounds like the winner but I can't give my headphone jack up. On that topic, I really hate that phone manufacturers are moving away from including them. While I agree it is nice to have the option of cordfree earbuds or phones, it is also super irritating for it to be yet another thing to be charged and if you run out of battery on your headphones then you are just out of luck. I really wish they would keep manufacturing headphone jacks. EDIT: I don't know if anyone will see this but I ended up buying a renewed Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus which has a headphone jack and really good specs for $550 from Samsung! I love it (so much space!!!), but definitely recommend buying straight from Samsung as third-party resellers might not be on the up and up.

[@Mandy_39]

I agree, really frustrating so many carriers are moving away from it! This is the reason I haven't got any of the S series phones. I'm struggling between these 2 for sure. I know they have an adapter that you use to plug into the USB C port so we can still use wired headphones. Just stupid these companies can't just include them.

[@orlaspring363]

[@eyybetoo]

yeah i was about to buy the s20 til i heard that it doesnt have a jack like what? I keep losing my bluetooth buds so i stick to wired.

[@MuhammadImran-nm7kt]

Totally agree!

[@AnnieIsaLau]

1000% agree and this weigh in a lot on what phone I will choose to buy. It really sucks that they don't put that on every phone. Also I use the jack in my car as I don't have Bluetooth and don't want to buy a special device for it.

If I was buying outright, I'd go for the A52 just because it's considerably cheaper where I live, but if I was going on a plan with repayments I'd look at the S20 FE. Having said that, I'm sure an S21 FE will be announced in a few weeks, so there will either be launch deals for that device and the S20 FE will get cheaper until it's discontinued.

[@MaryJane-ld2js]

thanks for the review i enjoyed watching. :) i'm leaning more into the S20Fe because mainly for its IP68 rating. And plus points that it comes from the S series. However, this midrange phone, A52 is a really great competitor.

[@gogamer1135]

its the flagship chipset Snapdragon 865 on the S20 fe 5g that would make you want this phone over the A52

[@stormy_4789]

Nobody really plans on submerging there phones in water as the first thing to do when they get it. IP ratings aren't a reason to pick a phone over another. But Fe is probably still the better choice.

[@xXRaitonXx]

It is excellent, here we already talk about power in terms of processor and other high-end options, the s20FE is practically superior .Good video .👍

[@GibsDaDrums]

Yeah I'm still not getting why the 3.5mm jack is disappearing. I love wireless earphones or headphones. But there's just something better about having that analog connection that makes it better.

[@malystxy5601]

Not to mention cheap wired headphones have better sound that mid range wireless

[@H0kram]

@@malystxy5601 And the ever increasing devices that we have to charge to use, compared to the good old wires. Seems trivial, until you realize how often they let you down. It just adds up. Also, a good pair of earphones with wires, will last much longer than the wireless earphones, because it outlasts the battery life.

You can get a $10 Apple USB type C dongle which will give for a phone very good performance though I guess the Quad DAC setup of the LG phone may have been better but yeah there's very limited ones which have been better than that.

[@amanichristie114]

Also it's harder to lose wired earphones 😭

Money pure and simple. Without the jack you could be encouraged to buy wireless earphones, preferably their own, hence more profit for them.

What did you end up getting and how is it now?

[@RyticYT]

I'd actually get the S Version of the A52 5G because it's the same price as the normal A52 5G in my country and it's much faster, comparable to an S8+/S9 in performance thanks to the SD778G

[@a4andrei]

The determining factor for me, is the processor. The S20 FE has the 800-series Qualcomm chipset which has better performance AND, probably even more important, better support. Phones which don't have the series 800 chips don't age too gracefully. That said, I think it's worth spending a little more and getting the S20 FE. You'll probably end up keeping it longer which will save you money in the long run.

Although the headphone port would've been really nice, I grabbed the S20 FE in mint because I usually keep my phone for 2-3 years and the extra power from the 865 will definitely be nice long term. The red wasn't in stock, but your videos helped me pick between my next favourites the mint and the orange, can't wait to see the mint in person when it gets here this week!

The last phone I bought was the Galaxy S5 and I am going to buy an A52 5G tomorrow, if they are out of stock I'm gonna blame it on you LOL. It took me a solid three days researching phones to figure out which one I wanted, I love the Galaxy S Line but not having a headphone jack was a dealbreaker for me. I tried to find the A52 non-5G but did not want to take a gamble not having a warranty and possibly limited features, updates, and support on AT&T's network. The promo with the 5G version makes it so that you pay $5 more each month for 30 months making it cheaper in the long run than the non-5G version. Not to get into a major 5G sub6 and millimeterwave discussion here but it is what it is. I decided on the A52 last night and to me it's the best bang for the buck right now. Compared to all the hundreds of videos I've been looking at on KZbin you and only a few other people know what you're talking about. Keep it up brother and thank you for this video!

i wanted to get s20 fe, but here in my country they only sell the exynos version and it has couples issues like battery drain so fast and heat a lot. And the gap price between the A52 is huge here. So i'm choosing a52, and i'm happy. So snappy and smooth for my daily use.

So all in all im more than happy with my choice.

@@cozypolar7307 The note 10 and 9 are definitely better, they're still both flagship phones even if it's outdated. The note 10 especially is considerably better than the A52 5G, and this is coming from someone who currently owns an A52. If you want a newer phone with a cheaper price then go for the A52, but if you don't particularly care about whether a phone is new or not and only care about performance, I would say Note 10.

If you get the A52s to review, mind doing A52s 5G vs S20 FE next? Trying to decide what's better between an 8+128GB S20 FE for around USD552 (USD522 until the end of October) and an 8+256GB A20s 5G for around USD493 (8+128GB is at USD453) and I'm looking for some perspective. Prices are converted to USD from my local currency. Not in a rush tho, just thinking about swapping out my current phone in the [relatively near?] future and those two are the attractive choices for me so far.

[@rcald-gz5jd]

*TechDaily* A52s 5G vs S21 FE. Both have rumored release dates of September 3rd and 8th respectively. If true, that would be a killer video, if you felt so inclined to produce it. The revised A52s will come with the Snapdragon 778G 5G having approximate geekbench single and multicore scores of 775 / 2877. The S21 5G has approximate scores of 906 / 3021, which is within throwing distance of the 778G 5G. This is of course assuming that Samsung hasn't opted to instead use the Exynos SoC in the US market on the S21 FE. This is just a topic off the top of my head that I thought you might want to consider. Thanks for all the content.

I'm just gonna hope that my a50 (not really a good phone in the a5 line) holds up another year and the a52 5g gets considerably cheaper by then. Because even tho the 52 seems pretty decent, it's not worth the 500 bucks. I paid slightly over half for my a50 and they're pretty much the same phone considering the tech level of the time then and now. More framerate and 5g is not worth ~200 bucks extra. If it came with wireless charging, I might not argue about the current new price.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

But as long as the s20fe doesn't come to the same price as the a52, it's not worth the extra 100 bucks imo. That little boost in cpu power will be as unnoticable as the microscratches on a smudged screen

I chose the Samsung a52 5g. It’s a newer phone and in the coming weeks and months it’ll be a greater value as prices fall. Specs are great for the price and it will sell crazy well like previous a series phones . Those looking at the Samsung s20 fe would be better off waiting for its replacement the s21 fe or whatever it’s called due to get released soon. Both are great phones however and are worth your money IMO.

The decider here would be the price difference and the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I'll give you my opinion on it as I have both of these phones. Neither one really heats up at all except for extended gaming they both got slightly warm playing wild rift for about 30 minutes. The haptics are much weaker in the A52 but they also aren't iphone level on the FE.

I have bought both of them. They are same good when it comes to speed. The camera configuration of the S20 FE seems better, however, the A52 has a headphone jack. There is no difference in screen, bur I noticed the screen of A52 seems to be more solid. Otherwise, performance is good in both phones. Depends what you want. If you need the headphone jack go for A52. It is good value for money. If you want to zoom a lot on photos go for S20 FE. Otherwise when playing heavy games you will not mention much difference. The 120 Hz refresh rate in both phones makes marvels there.

[@Omizuke]

Of these two phones, I had trouble deciding, since the headphone jack is pretty big deal for me. Ended up going with the 20FE because of DeX. Plus I already had a headphone adapter I got with a Tab. And I really loved the DeX idea. Yet, I can't even use it. Because the damn phone will always "overheat" at first I thought it was the multi tasking, so I tried just playing, same, tried watching videos, same. So I jut hook it up to the monitor, and did nothing, just waited. And it also gave me the heating up message. I don't have anything running in the background that isn't absolutely necesesary, and even then I would go a force stop some services. I don't have social media apps, or messengers so there's little running. But somehow it will overheat, according to the phone, and kick me out of DeX. It's not the adapter cause it works fine with the Tab and even with the Switch. If I had know I wasn't gonna be able to sue DeX, I would've gone with the 52. I miss the headphone jack, and hate carrying with the dongle in addition to the headset. And the rest of the features, I don't use, like wireless charging.

There are type C to 3.5mm aux adapters for phones without a headphone jack. Is carrying one extra accessory still make it a deal breaker to other folks? Just curious. I’ve been an iOS user for over 10 years and in April 2021 switched to Android from an iPhone 6s+ and absolutely love my s20 FE 5G. Got the mint, too! Samsung’s Android skin has improved significantly since I last tried using a Galaxy Note 2 (and sold it and kept the iPhone) way back then. I’m in love with the extra customisation options since the pandemic left me with more time on my hands. I’m already considering upgrading to a Galaxy Note or Flip series next when I need to replace my phone, though I tend to use phones until something breaks!

battery draining issue in S20-FE. even normal usage left me low batter at the end of the day

[@pcarlson214]

Well done comparison! One thing that I don't see mentioned as a decision-point is planned length of ownership. I'm not a big power-user, and I don't trade in/up phones every couple of years, but longevity is a factor in my buying decision. In fact, I opted for the S21 5G over the A52 5G mainly because for the small difference in price (after offers), the faster cpu of the S21 offers better long range performance. At practically the same price (at least here in the U.S.), I'd have chosen the S20 FE for the same reason. (I also prefer the smaller sized S21). To me, the faster processor in the S20 FE over the A52 5G would mean more 2 years from now than today.

[@laurentiudll]

this makes no sense to me.."opted for the S21 5G over the A52 5G mainly because for the small difference in price (after offers)" Even with the offers, the flagship top of the line S21 5g still costs almost triple the price than the mid tier a52s
