Samsung has just unveiled a new addition to its flagship smartphone lineup. The new model is Samsung Galaxy

S20 FE, also known as Fan Edition.Thus, the current flagship S20 line already has four models. It seems that in terms of positioning this is a kind of variation on the theme of the Lite model, which was present last year. EditorialggI was already able to twirl the new product a little in my hands and now we will share our first impressions of the new product.

How and for whom was the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE created?

According to Samsung, the Galaxy S20 Fan modelEdition (FE) was created with a youth audience in mind. Accordingly, these are people who take a lot of photo and video content, are very active on social networks and play a lot of mobile games. The company tried to take into account all the basic wishes of future potential smartphone owners. The main points are a flat screen with a high refresh rate, powerful hardware, a universal set of cameras with a large number of shooting modes, a large battery, a bright design and not too high a cost. Let's see how the company managed to implement all this.

What's new outside?

Externally, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is similar to mostcurrent flagship Samsung models. In front there is an elongated flat screen with rounded corners and a small hole in the middle for the front camera. In terms of dimensions, the smartphone is close to the Samsung Galaxy S20+, but the frames around the perimeter of the screen are slightly thicker than the rest of the line. At the same time, the hole for the front camera is slightly smaller.

The frame is metal and is made to match the color of the case, andthere are a lot of them available: red, blue, pink, green, white and beige (marketing names will obviously be different). The layout is standard: Type-C, speaker and microphone on the bottom, tray and additional microphone on top, buttons on the right. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm jack. But there is stereo sound.

The back is made of polycarbonate, like in the younger oneSamsung Galaxy Note20. Yes, not so &#8220;expensive&#8221; feels like glass. But more practical: it’s harder to break and fingerprints are less visible. The placement of the main camera is similar to current models: a rectangular module in the upper left corner. All the colors look very good, there is plenty to choose from. Blue and red are especially good.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE size and shape comparison with Note20:

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE feels a bit thicker. But (subjectively) it is more comfortable in the hand thanks to the more streamlined shape. Like the older models, the smartphone is protected from dust and water according to the IP68 standard and is not afraid of being immersed in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.

What's interesting about the characteristics?

The smartphone has a SuperAMOLED display withoutcurves with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, FullHD+ resolution, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a sensor polling rate of 240 Hz. The fingerprint scanner is built into the screen, but, unlike older models, it uses an optical rather than an ultrasonic version. As for the &#8220;internals&#8221;, no surprises happened: the geographical distribution of versions remained the same. The version with Snapdragon 865 went to the USA, the global version, including for the Ukrainian market, received the branded Samsung Exynos 990. The younger version received 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage. The tray is hybrid, so you can install a MicroSD instead of a second SIM card. A couple of screenshots of performance tests:

The smartphone is powered by a 4500 mAh battery,There is support for fast charging, as well as wireless and reverse wireless charging. The smartphone runs on Android 10 OS with One UI version 2.5 shell with support for all the features of older flagships, including Samsung DeX Wireless.
