Create and Construct

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G is both simple on the wallet and stylishly built. You get a Gorilla Glass 3 front screen, a plastic back with a matte coating to avoid fingerprints and an aluminum frame on this device. The device comes in at 6.29 x 2.93 x 0.33 inches (159.8 x 74.5 x 8.4 mm) and 6.70 ounces (190g); it’s a bit thicker but still lightweight. With colors such as Cloud Navy, Cloud Mint and Cloud Lavender, this fashion has a wider appeal. Instead of regular buttons, the Side Key allows you to jump to your camera or Samsung Pay instantly.

• Aluminum frame
• Gorilla Glass 3 front, plastic back
• Matte finish for fingerprint resistance
• IP68 rating
• Customizable Side Key
• USB-C port
• Hybrid SIM slot (nano-SIM or microSD)

It’s lighter on the wallet because the S20 FE 5G uses plastic in its back, not glass and excludes mmWave 5G support. The phone is charged wirelessly at 15W and also connects with Qi accessories. Because of the ultrasonic sensor, fingerprints allow the user to enjoy a full-screen interface and swipe wherever they need.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G Display

The S20 FE 5G comes with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display that offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 and rich visuals thanks to its HDR10+ support. Smartphones with 120Hz refresh rates are set apart from budget models because they result in smoother scrolling and games. Since it has a maximum brightness of 1000 nits, it isn’t as bright as premium TVs, though it works well in outdoor light. The camera is placed inside a hole on the screen, keeping the look modern by removing the notch.

• 6.5-inch Super AMOLED
• 2400 x 1080 resolution
• HDR10+ support
• 1000 nits (peak)
• Gorilla Glass 3
• 120Hz refresh rate

While the 120Hz screen is a big advantage for games and apps, it does not have the better brightness features that top premium models have. Users find that the colors are accurate, even though booting up takes a little more time.

Software and Processor

The S20 FE 5G, powered by the Snapdragon 865, has Nearly flagship performance thanks to its 8-core CPU and offers 6GB or 8GB RAM options.

Autofocus is available on the 32MP front camera (f/2.2) of the phone. The phone captures 4K videos at 60 frames per second and includes night shooting, a single take mode and zoom features for space photos.
