Samsung unveils the Galaxy S20 FE, a new flagship smartphone entry in the 2020 Galaxy S series
At its third Galaxy Unpacked event for 2020, Samsung has officially lifted the covers off the Galaxy S20 FE — a successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite from earlier this year. As seen in previous leaks, Samsung has launched two variants of the Galaxy S20 FE: a 5G variant powered by the Snapdragon 865 and a 4G variant powered by the Exynos 990 SoC. Both devices feature a 120Hz high refresh rate display and a triple camera setup on the back, but they come with different RAM and storage configurations.

Unlike other devices in Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy S20 FE features a flat 6.5-inch Infinity-O display, with a tiny punch hole for the selfie camera. As mentioned earlier, the display offers a refresh rate of 120Hz with fast touch response times to deliver a super smooth user experience. The Snapdragon 865 SoC on the 5G variant is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded up to 1TB using a microSD card. The Exynos 990 variant, however, comes with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
In the camera department, the Galaxy S20 FE packs in a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP wide-angle camera, and an 8MP 3x hybrid optical zoom telephoto camera. Over on the front, the device has a single 32MP selfie camera. Much like the flagship devices in the Galaxy S20 series, the Galaxy S20 FE includes AI-powered camera features like Single Take to help users click a variety of videos, photos, and GIFs with just a 15-second take and Super Steady mode for advanced stabilization.
Powering the device is a 4,500mAh battery, with support for 15 Watt fast charging. On top of that, the device also supports fast wireless charging 2.0 and wireless power share. The Galaxy S20 FE comes with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, which ensures that the device will be able to survive in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.
In terms of software, the Galaxy S20 FE runs the latest version of Samsung’s One UI skin based on Android 10, which includes a host of useful features like wireless DeX support, Quick Share, AOD, and more.
