The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition appears to be a more pragmatic version of the Galaxy S20. A technical sheet built on the opinion of “fans” and which notably includes a Qualcomm SoC, requested by many in Europe.
Strong points
Finishes.
Well calibrated Oled screen.
Comfortable performance.
Satisfactory main camera module.
Solid autonomy.
Weak points
No mini-jack socket or adapter.
Disappointing secondary camera modules.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G is overall a great success. It successfully takes the elements that work for the Galaxy S family and opts for a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC that has long been requested in Europe. Samsung has a smartphone capable of competing with many references on the market.
Alternatively
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G was a good smartphone, but the A54 5G significantly improves the proposition. Certainly more expensive at its launch, it has a more attractive design, has a very bright screen and offers much more power. Rather good photographer for its category, the device is entitled to the usual small refinements of its range (microSD port, IP67 certification, four years of software updates) and gains support for wifi 6 as well as eSIMs. We would have appreciated even more generous autonomy, a little less heating and faster charging, but that is undoubtedly quibbling in front of this well-equipped smartphone, complete and providing a little taste of premium at a reasonable price.
