Samsung Galaxy S20 FE: A worthy premium smartphone despite some compromises
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
(Fan Edition) is a new smartphone model in South Korean electronics maker’s
flagship Galaxy S20 series launched earlier this year. Priced at Rs 49,999, the
Galaxy S20 FE is touted as a flagship smartphone with features inspired by
premium siblings.
At
first look, the smartphone appears to be an all-rounder, with a big AMOLED
screen of 120Hz refresh rate, practical triple-camera set-up on the back, flagship
processor, ample onboard storage, wireless charging, and ingress protection
rating. But do these features and specifications translate into an experience
one expects from premium smartphones? Let’s
find out:
The
Galaxy S20 FE comes in several bright colour themes, including navy, lavender,
mint and red. The phone’s bright colour theme looks stunning, especially the
cloud mint version that we reviewed. Made of plastic, the back cover has a
matte finish, which is resilient to smudges and fingerprints. It is, however,
not as sturdy as the glass back seen in its premium siblings and gets scratched
easily. Though part of the Galaxy S20 series, the phone has a rear design that
seems inspired by the Galaxy Note20-series, especially the rectangular-shaped
rear camera module in the top-left corner. The camera module protrudes
significantly from the body and make the phone wobble on flat surfaces. It,
however, does not look odd and seems very much part of the overall package.
