So much better than my old Samsung J3! Granted it is heavier, and is a good 1/2 inch longer, but it has so much more storage and the Samsung Health does a far better job of tracking my daily steps.
It also allows fingerprint security mode which works most of the time - but it sometimes chooses to want my PIN instead. ??
Superior camera with far more effects options. Note the clarity of the flames without over-saturation. Nice close-up, too.

Excellent phone for the price. It looks and feels like a top teir phone. Super fast and the 120Hz refresh rate is very good. I've had plenty of phones in the past few years that include IPHONES, LG, MOTOROLA, GGOGLE, ZTE, ALCATEL, AND OTHER SAMSUNG. From top of the line to the bottom of the barrel and I can honestly say this would be in my top 3. I haven't had a chance to test 5g yet, but as of now it's a steal for the price.

I am SO happy with my new phone. The FE as all the best features of the S20 without the extra price tag. Love the screen size and the ability to go full screen. The color is AWESOME!! Photo quality is amazing. Ability to wireless charge headphones or low devices with your phone is pretty cool. It has best shot for the best possible pictures. Has tap to TV function for Samsung TV, wanna watch on TV what's on your phone, just tap the side of your TV. Phone has edge lighting when receiving texts or calls that you can customize for contacts. Has screen recording capability, Dolby Atmos, DeX, Nearby Share, Samsung Kids. Just overall a great phone.

I have no complaints, the camera works great and the screen is great too. Definitely worth the $600. I wonder if this is the first ever consumer review of this phone?

Got this when I needed a major upgrade. So glad I got it. IT has served me well over the last 2 years. The battery is so-so. But everything else is great.

This phone packs all of the hardware you need at a steal of a price. Same internals as the S20 flagship. Sub 6 and mmwave 5g, snapdragon 865, 6gb ram, and 128gb of UFS storage!! The best part is the 120hz refresh rate at this price point. Everything is smooth and silky and the interface is on point. And on top of that it has better battery life than the regular s20, s20+, note 20 and note 20 ultra! You can’t go wrong. The plastic rear looks beautiful and won’t shatter like glass. There’s really nothing else that you can ask for especially at this price point. 120hz, 5g, flagship specs, excellent camera with night mode, 128gb+ expandable storage, non crackable back and the icing on the cake... IP68 water and dust resistance. Buy this phone while it’s on sale and save even more!!! For $599 this is an absolute steal and is worth every penny for the years to come.

Samsung S20 FE is a true value flagship phone

I'm rating this 5 stars for the *value* you get with this phone. Especially since I got it at the pre-order price of $599 (which I believe may be the current price at the moment).
Prior to this, I've only bought Google branded phones since 2011 (though that phone was the Galaxy Nexus, which was made by Samsung, my last Samsung phone before this one). Then I had the Nexus 5, then the Nexus 6P, then the Pixel 2 XL, and now this.
Coming from pure Google experience phones, this took a bit to get used to. It's much heavier than the P2XL, but still feels good in the hand.
Basically, the phone is crazy fast, and has almost all of the latest tech you could want in a flagship, while giving up the most cutting edge stuff (that I don't notice, and many others likely won't), in order to bring the price back down to earth.
It has UFS 3.1 storage (as fast as you can currently get in an Android phone).
It has WiFi 6 (I don't have any WiFi 6 capable routers yet anyway).
It has a 120Hz display (which is awesome, but after loving that for a few weeks, I switched it to 60Hz, and I haven't regretted that move). The point is that it's your choice, and you can toggle whenever you want.
Cameras are very good (perhaps not Pixel quality, but they're definitely more versatile). "One Shot" mode is a ton of fun.
At $599, this is a no-brainer. At $699 (list), it's an exceptional value, but other phones at least enter the competition.

Got this this for my wife on Oct 31. After setting it and using the phone, it's is really worth the money. Even though it has a plastic back instead of a metal/glass back, it's still solid and wonderful looking. The refresh rate is amazing (120hz), the camera on it is as good as it gets for the money as it takes solid quality images. The focusing is super fast and responsive and the 3x zoom is something that most phones still don't have physically Although the screen is just 2400x1800 AMOLED not UHD 4K, you really cannot tell (tbh, unless you're a smartphone aficionado, you can't tell screens that small having great resolutions or not).
The battery size is great and unlike many flagship phones, it's bigger than most of them and it charges pretty fast. Bonus also that it has an expandable memory slot (1TB) which is located on the reverse side of the SIM card slot (first time I've ever seen that!). If I had one drawback for the phone is that this model could have used 8gig of RAM instead of six. I know this phone was made less expensive cutting certain features from the what's available on the other S20 models, but as cheap as RAM is, I think that could've been put in.
I have an S10 I got over a year ago, and it's just as good, even the camera is better and the FE has 5G with the 865 processor where my phone is max 4G LTE. The S10 is still more expensive than the S20 FE and it's screen refresh is at 60hz only. So, if you want an almost flagship type phone, and only have the bucks for the typical $500-$700 model today in that price range, this one is it!

At $600 the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is too much of a good deal to pass up. Sure, there are several very good mid-tier devices out there today, but for $600 you are getting a brand-new device that performs better (in almost any area) than many year-old flagships that used to cost more than $900. Here's what I can tell you based on my last 48 hours playing with the phone: 1. The cameras are outstanding (day or night), even when compared to state-of-the-art phones from less than a year ago. 2. The phone supports 5G, which works quite well with my current provider. 3. The screen, which is flat and great for screen protectors, is also flagship quality (120 Hz refresh rate) 4. The battery is great. 5. The phone has a top-of-the line processor.
OK, the S20 FE lacks a 3.5 mm audio jack; however, I can trade that for the ability to expand the phone's memory via a micro-SD card.
Again, there are so many good things packaged in this device that I'm happy it exists at this price point. In my opinion, and from an entirely pragmatic / techie point of view, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is one of the best deals I've seen in a while. Grab your face mask and head to Best Buy for a demo, I think you won't be disappointed.

I love it. It's just about the same as the flagship S20, only 400 dollars cheaper. It takes better pictures than my camera. It's fast, customizable, the screen is great. It has some great apps installed and plenty of room for more. I don't think personally that I will need any more than the 128 Gigs of storage but I put a SD Card in anyway for music. Best phone I've ever had and I got 100 dollars off at Best Buy--Great value.

Was a great option at a good price. When my previous phone died on me samsung had begun pricing the galaxy phones at crazy prices and so i became worried, but this one was much more reasonable. I have ran into no issues with it i have been able to play any games i wanted, browsing is no issue and the camera is really nice. Definitely a great phone at a lower price point.

This phone is amazing!! I love the camera quality, it’s durable, my kids have thrown it and it hasn’t cracked. My phone can go two dead without being charged and on top of that it’s charges quite fast. I absolutely have no issues with my phone.
