[@the_garniiics]

I was gonna get the S20 ultra, despite the lack of expandable storage, but when the $800 off promotion at AT&T expired for the Galaxy S8 series I decided it would be best to get the S20 FE. Especially since it's the last flagship Samsung with decent battery life that still has expandable storage

[@holemas]

Haven't watched the whole video yet but wanna say one thing: I completely agree, the phone is a great option, but only if you get the Snapdragon version. Not because of raw power, if it were about that then It really wouldn't be an issue, but mostly because of issues with slowdown and stutter during normal usage and stuff like that that makes you feel like you just dumped your money into the fire. You can give me a chip from 2 generations ago, I don't care, but the moment the phone stutters on the menus and such... ughh

[@venator7889]

No headphone jack is a dealbreaker

[@konradc12]

Great phone. I bought 5G Snapdragon variant late November on big £100 discount. Since the other S20 variants are Exynos (including the Note), my SD FE had the best chipset officially available in the UK. Battery life and screen has been great, plus the cameras do a good job. Samsung features like DEX, are great to have and works well with my Samsung TV. No headphone jack is an issue, since I have the Galaxy Buds Plus and adapter if needed. Not had any issues to speak about. Great for the next few years like my S8 it replaced.

[@shinydavidhowell]

Also from the UK and planning to get an S20 FE 5G - upgrading from my A70 - for that same reason of the Snapdragon chip. It's that or an A52s 5G if the price gap is big enough. Will be nice to have my first phone switch in a long time that doesn't involve a change of UI :)

(Was discounted from $650 to $429, with a promotional $100 extra mail-in value for my old phone, a cheap Huawei from 2015, that was originally worth 1$ according to them. So they gave $101 for it.

I definitely get this for my mom, specs wise and price wise, I think she will be happy with it, and you can get USB C headphones like I got on my S20 Ultra. I believe the S20 Ultra is the best, although the battery life is really bad, because of the Exynox chipset, which is really weak, but I still love my phone. As for the S20 FE, I think a £450 flagship that is well built is worth buying, and you get the flagship experience, which is a feeling of quality, its worth getting and hopefully you can stick with it for many years. They get updates regularly, the camera is top notch every time on them, the software is reliable and they have lovely screens to use. On my phone heating seems to be more of a software problem, but thankfully it doesn't happen very much. Tbh form my experience I recommend buying a flagship, especially if you can get it at a good price, comparable with the price of a midrange phone, flagship feels better, value for money.

I agree with this review, even now in October 2021. I bought it a few days ago for $300 after trading in my S9+. Too good to pass up for a phone I should be able to get 3 years out of.

[@richarddcrossley]

S20 FE 5G even better value in most of the world as along with Z Fold 2 one of the only Snapdragon models worldwide.

[@postbyte1]

I 100% agree. I got one the day it came out and they took the s20 off the shelf which is the device I was really going after. In hindsights doing comparison it was the best thing for the buck at the time and I took advantage of that.

[@roxerd5576]

Deep respect for you Bro i am glad i watched your video you are an very honest reviewer most youtubers are blowing new phones out of proportion saying its got this and that and no one even mentions there are cheaper and more feature rich devices already available at lower cost like the s20 fe in particular i mean the A52 4g in my region costs about $600 and s20 fe is much cheaper here but nobody will tell you to invest in it as your new phone so as not to overshadow the overpriced series from Samsung this year.

Just purchased the S20FE 5G two days ago in India and I'm so happy with it. Nothing to not like in this phone. I almost bought it when it launched last year but stepped back coz of the shitty Exynos processor. Glad I did. It's now priced just a little more than the A52s 5G. So it's a no brainer when it comes to making a choice. The next available flagship model costs around 40% more! So glad that I got my hands on this. Only bummer for me was no earphone jack (but I got a C Port to 3.5mm jack connector at the Samsung store) and just two colour options. Cloud Navy and Cloud Mint. I so wanted the Lavender or the Red! Went with Navy coz Mint is not my thing. Thanks for your review. Helped my decision.

[@venator7889]

I'm using this phone S20FE5G snapdragon and love it. If I could change anything I'd change the battery life. I have to keep my display to 60 htz and I don't have my AOD turned on and by doing this I hit 7 hours SOT. otherwise I get like 5 hrs. But I love the camera and display. Also the SD availability if 128GB is too small. I also recommend this phone to anyone. Wife traded her OnePlus 8 to get the FE and she loves it too.

The S20 FE is just too good and it never heats in any other situation other than genshin impact. that too after playing 1:30 hrs of genshin impact. It heats only after playing for more than 1:30 mins. This phone is an insane value and there's no gimmicks at all. Perfect performance, Perfect cameras, packed with essentially needed features for a full flagship experience. This is the one to buy in 2021!! Not the S21s as well! Else better go for the note 20 ultra. That's even better but for more than twice the price this is a better value phone at all. N20U makes sense if u take 8K in 24fps as it has SD Card to store it as well but provided u get the SD 865+ version; else go for the FE.

[@BigTimeVocals]

I agree with everything you've said. I think most of the problems you mentined this phone has.. is waay more common on the Exynos variant (the one I have). The overheating and reduced battery life is a thing I still experience, but for the money you pay, there's really nothing that comes close to this phone. We have to wait for more updates, and what samsung has in store for us with the S21FE

[@1pk155]

Got the 4G version as it's what's commonly available in my country. Big mistake: it overheats constantly!

[@jackwilson5542]

In Europe it is terrible option due to that Exynos 990 power hog overheating CPU. One of worst phones you can buy at the price.

[@warrencramer4516]

Your review is spot on!! Ive only just spent a few weeks with this phone and I'm blown away!!

[@jaymehta27]

No. The 5g comes with the SD processor. The non 5g (I currently own it) has the worst thermal properties. Heats up during basic things like - hotspots or even while recording vidoes the phone heats up. A 30 Mon video call means, the phone will shut down. It's been a horrible experience.

[@JammyDo]

Even the SD version has heating problems but not as bad as the non 5g variant.

[@stevelewis8394]

All 4G versions now ship with the Snapdragon 865 chip same as the 5G.

[@siba-mini8377]

I have an exynos version(seemingly the only 2020 upwards device to not offer 5G in South Africa, I stand to be corrected), but surprisingly I have not had any heat issues and the updates have been doing nothing but improving its performance, however, after this months update (where for some odd reason they thought we needed bixby again) the phone started cooking immediately after the update but after a second reboot everything went back to normal, if anyone could possibly explain why that happened would bebmuch appreciated. In the end, best decision ever, have no regrets in getting this phone😎

[@Jerry-xp3cw]

Exynos fe has bad battery life and it overheats but is still ok

[@nguyenx86]

Another issue with the Exynos model is that using it under direct sunlight will heat it up even faster, which leads to screen dimming to around 50%, and makes it very hard to see what's going on the screen. I'm using one, it's a shame that such a good phone has this issue... Not sure about the S20 FE 5G which uses Snapdragon 865, though. Btw, this is not just an issue with the S20 FE Exynos, but also a common issue with the whole Exynos 990 S20 phones as well... Other than that, everything runs perfect, very smooth, and the Camera is among the flagship phones out there!

I'm thinking about getting the S20 FE. I have a OnePlus 8T since 3 weeks but I already have some burn in or "image retention" from the status bar(clock, battery, wlan). You can only see it when you use a grey background. But that annoys me because the phone is 3 weeks old! I never used max brightness. Anyone facing burn in on the S20 FE? I mean everyone says it is pretty normal to have screen burn in on AMOLED or OLED.

[@jcdamian2]

Overall a really great phone. Though overheating can indeed be an issue. I thought I could play demanding games like Genshin Impact at least at low settings but it would still lag as the phone gets hot. Still, a great bang for buck phone for most other apps and productivity.
