Galaxy S20 FE

I upgraded my P20 pro to a Samsung S20FE, and it felt like a downgrade. My wife took over my P20pro, and she's still rocking it, more than 5 years later. The screen is cracked in a corner, but the phone trucks along like nobody's business. [...]

Think I'm gonna have to change phones again. I've had a Google Pixel 7 for 4 months now and it's so disappointing compared to the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G I had before. Calls constantly cut out, camera not as good (especially zoom), can't output display through USB C, no Secure Folder-like feature.

I dont see any point of changing my Samsung S 20FE 5G even now, after 3 years from buying!..there is no lag, no camera degradation, and above all, no software issues(samsung ecosystem is the best, unlike the few years lagging behind and closed ecosystem of apple, and MI OS which is full of bugs and ads. Only issue is it takes up a lot of storage)... phones at this prize no more have expandable storage and include flagship features like great triple camera setup , great display, ip68, stereo speakers, wireless charging, metallic frame, 120Hz super amoled display and snapdragon 865(which is equal in performance to sd 7s gen 2), Android 13 is not even a compromise for ditching this phone, especially now, when googles' new software updates remove amazing features that you could previously use in your phone for "security" reasons, like apple used to do, from the day it began...tell me one phone that has all these features and come at 25k prize range, the closest I can get is moto edge 60 even that does'nt have metalic frame, snapdragon processor and wireless charging

iOS 26 has been really hard on my 13 mini. Most menus lag, you have to wait sometimes 5 seconds for the control center menu to pop up sometimes. I dug my old Samsung S20 FE out of the drawer, applied the last few security patches, and it still runs more smoothly than the newer iPhone.

Some comparison websites do not list DeX for the cheaper S20FE -- AFAIK all S models since then offer it? [...] keyboard, 34" screen) available for my phone.

My old Samsung S20FE can plug into my office-issue Dell monitor and give me full Dex desktop (also using the second screen) and connect to the keyboard and mouse that stay wirelessly connected to the USB ports on the screens. IIRC it also made use of the headset plugged in via USB. If I was a student with Chromebook-style needs (browser-based tools) it would be worth considering instead of a laptop.

Still Rocking this beauty in 2026 This really is Samsung peak phone for mid range price, i got mine for £100 in excellent condition mainly for the features the newer phones dont have. i love having SD card storage, wireless charging and reverse charging. i dont care about having the latest android version or upgrades, this phone still works flawlessly in 2026 and its still a great phone to have in my opinion.

Currently still using my Samsung S20 FE as we speak ! [...] This was the last one with expandable storage and the camera & battery is better than the new ones . [...]

I just ordered the S20 FE 5G UW as a replacement for my 6 year old Galaxy S7 Edge. [...] I don't need the super great camera and don't care about the Glastic back, or about purchasing a 25W charger (or just using the 15W one). All of those downgrades are worth the $200 savings. Thanks so much for reassuring me and my decision to buy the S20 FE 5G UW. [...]

Have been using the S20FE 5G since last year of March and I have to say, the phone is still fantastic, cameras are good, things like reverse wireless and wireless charging which I thought was a gimmick, actually wasn't for me. Being able to put your phone down and charge and you do your own things is convenient enough. Currently on Android 12

I have the S20 FE 4G second version with Snapdragon 865. [...] Only thing I miss is dual camera video mode, I loved to use that. Battery life could be better, I am a heavy user

I bought Samsung s20 fe 5g one month ago and I really had a bad experience with it. My mobile had faulty battery and I replaced the battery under warranty. And today itself I got my phone from the service centre 🙁🙁 P.S. I'm really doubtful on charger. Does faulty charger degrade battery life?

If exynos, no thank you. I have bad experience with Exynos S8 (I have to charge it like three times a day!), Another reason was the service centre was bad, couldn't pinpoint the problem my phone was having. Sold my s8 & trade it to Vivo and that phone lasted me more than two years without headache

[...] I have the problems and Samsung has not responded in any way...many people have returned only to have the same problem with the replacement phone. [...] Google S20 FE touchscreen problems!

After a few weeks using the phone, my phone would over heat when I charge while using apps (had no problem with this with my old pixel 2), at times when I try to record the video lags and battery does not last all day (and its already on power save mode) This phone is not worth it at its price imo!

I'm using it right now. My Google Pixel 8 broke. The screen and the guy at the tech store said to fix the s20fe instead as the pixel.i should trash.

Recently got the s20 fe and it for some reason always turn my YouTube videos from the full screen into the small picture by picture screen if it's not touched every five minutes and has black flickering occasionally. Not a huge fan of it so far.

i have a s10e and upgraded to the s20 fe for the battery. the s20 fe battery drains almost exactly the same and lasts like 30 minutes more.i have my s20 fe on the 60 and not the 120 display😐 im not happy with it.

I've been using a Galaxy S5 since 2014 (there's a reason) and I just upgraded to the S20 FE. [...] The curved screen on the flagship model is really nice but I can get along just fine without it. [...] I'm 71 and have been using computers since the late 90's and while I can't do things like write code, I'm fairly tech savvy. [...] Anyway, I'm liking the S20 FE and it's good to know that others think its a good phone at a decent price.

I got my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE in mid 2021, still works fine for me. I have no lags or crashes, since mabye i am a light to moderate user who doesn't need to charge the pbone twice everyday.

[...] The battery and UI will be worse but the camera and processor so much better! I feel like I could use this phone as a dedicated camera and my older phone for all the other stuff while travelling. Then I won't have to worry about powerbanks anymore, which are slow to charge and often unplug in my backpack! [...] I've looked at action cameras as well but this camera and audio are better for the price. [...] It's weird that the S22 has a worse battery, 3700 mAh instead of 4500 on the S20 FE. You'd need to buy a S23 to get the same battery again, but that's an almost €350 jump in price! I'm happier to stay in the sub €400 price range. [...]

Still using my S20 FE 5G unlocked with a 512G sdcard. Battery degradation is starting ton impact use. I'll be considering replacing the battery soon. [...]

[...] I'm also planing to buy this device but am bit confused between Asus 8z vs s20 fe As you said you've used Asus 5z before could you please share you review on that as well? I really want a compact phone like Asus 8z but people out there say Asus is not that great in terms of service or update and all.

I bought this phone when it came out. It seemed to me a little too expensive to be made of plastic, also the battery drains too fast and it gets warm easily. Even though these were big issues to me at the beginning, the phone performed well and I still have it as a back up device

broke my phone, replacing the screen costed like 50€, for that price I bought and s20 fe exynos. The thing drains the battery crazy fast (2 hours screen time with replacement battery installed by previous owner), doesn't have 5g, gets warm really quick but I gotta say, I love it. The 120hz screen amoled makes al the difference in the world, size is good, camera holds up well, stereo speakers are loud enough, front camera for video calls is really great and fingerprint sensor is not that slow. Can't really complain, it also has a decent custom rom scene behind it, it's a good daily driver if you don't game on it (and it can do that but battery won't last).

[...] Galaxy S20 FE is the biggest slap on the face for the people who bought the regular Note20. Note20 should've been priced like this cuz it's got non expandable storage, no 120Hz screen refresh rate. Unless you will use the S-Pen a lot of times then you better just get an S20 FE + Galaxy Buds Live + Samsung Care+ + a 25W Charger (which sadly didn't come with the box of the S20 FE). [...]

i have recently purchased s20fe 5g phone ..have to say very disappointed usually i love samsung phones....was really fed up after buying this phone....poor camera quality pixels were breaking..battery life was worst..100 to 20 in about 4 hours...frame drops were thre when i played pubg....heating even while using normally...i have not found anything worthy to what all these reviewers are saying.....except for good display

I am confused between Samsung S20 FE 5G and A52s 5G. I am getting the latter for 32k and for 5k more I'm getting S20 FE. My major concern with S20 FE is the battery backup, I have heard mixed responses regarding the same. I want at least one day of battery out of my phone. [...]

[...] Display broke so I got it replaced with lcd (og amoled). [...] But I don't see any worthy upgrade from k20pro. I'm spoilt with top notch processor+good cam setup (wide 48 sony+uw 18+telephoto8)+aptX+855 sd+good battery) So now here I'm confused b/w s20FE (apart from battery it is only worthy upgrade) or iqoo neo 6/7/ 9 or moto edge 30. [...]

Nowadays batteries seem to be doing pretty good, though. I've got a galax s20 fe, and the battery is still fine after 5 years.

though i heard the amount of power it has + parts used are a good deal for that price. i do play games on my phone too lol. rn the phone i've had for years is a samsung galaxy s20 fe. it's battery is terrible nowadays and the usb slot is kinda poopy no matter how much i clean it.

i love my s20 fe 5g and still using it and still gaming on it got like 50 different games on my phone with plenty of storage but i also got a 128 gig sd card couldn’t be more happier with this phone

I have this phone & it's great, 2 November 2025 i got a security update on this phone😀

Its best phone i bought for my mom in 2022 and in 2025 its still smooth and has nearly best camera

One of the best phone samsung everrrr .. still using my s20fe 5g as a secondary phone and s23ultra as my primary phone 🔥

[...] I've been using S20 FE 4G Snapdragon 865 version and I'm loving it! [...]

I have had an Note20U for the past almost 2 years and I absolutely still love it. Through certain events, I was gifted an S20FE recently and despite the clear differences, one cannot go wrong with either phone. My daily primary phone is the N20U however I love my 20FE too so I would recommend either to anyone

I love my s20 Fe. Was using the s20+ & note 20 ultra (both exynos) and I changed mainly for the Snapdragon 865 and am loving it

Still using this S20 FE as a Daily Driver. [...]

[...] After having a browse at my local John Lewis I settled on the S20 FE 5G and she couldn't be happier. [...]

i like the phone tbh, i usually get notes so this was a change for me but the features are pretty good the design is nice and a plastic back? No problem i got a case on anyway. I'm still playing around qith the phone but so far so good

Been using one for 3 days not. Boy I love it. Bought it as spur of the moment, when I saw one at the store where it was a discount sale costing me 219 $ US

Bought mine last year in March and love it. I don't use wireless charging but i have 2 that i spent $40 each. I got the phone for emulation and it runs PS1, PS2, DREAMCAST, GAMECUBE and Wii without a single problem

I used the s20 fe 5g for the entire lifespan. [...]

[...] I'm upgrading from S9 (I drop my phone a lot, LOL, S9 with case on has survived everything without screen protector. I don't like to use screen protectors), but S20 FE has Gorilla Glass 3 which is a downgrade from S9's Gorilla glass 5, would it make much difference in dropping in long-term? Or should I consider S21 Fe with Victus glass, I can wait for the price drop of S21 FE; until Sep or Oct..., though it comes with Exynos and will run hotter than S20 FE, both has their own pros and cons, but the main thing for is front glass' durability... [...]

It has DEX mode? I'm very interested about it, I have S10 lite and I will like to upgrade for S20 FE 5G but I don't know if has DEX mode.

Just got s20 battery is shit should I swap it for s20 FE with snap dragon

It's my phone! It's pretty old now, but I have a Galaxy S20 FE, and the camera has a food mode.

Yeah, I have a Galaxy S20 FE 5G. Its cameras were one of the reasons that I got it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung...

I play on my phone the galaxy s20 fe, and it crashes every once in a while. It also drains my phone battery kind of quick 🙃
