Is the price discrepancy due to sales tax? I see it here in Germany for ~630€. 599$ converts to 511€ so that's possibly mainly the 19% vat. The UK OTOH appear to be just getting screwed: £700 ~ $900 (!!)
@Denzel Schenkel German seller but presume they would send at least within eu. They called boomstore -- add a de at the end there. Found via Heise Preisvergleich where they get an okay review. You might find better
I really never understood the point of wanting glass on the back of a phone. It's just added weight and another point of failure. Most people just put cases on their phones anyways.
I bought the Fe 5G over the s20+ because I live in an exynos country, but I still wish I had the glass back. It's just looks so much better, but that's entirely subjective
@@whaatt6791 That's totally fair tbh, I shouldn't say I don't see the point, I get the appeal but I've always preferred plastic as long as it's done well 👍.
I've got an S20 FE 5G arriving tomorrow, coming from an iPhone X. Honestly as soon as I got the X it went straight into a case because one the fingerprints drive me around the bend and 2 expensive as hell to fix!
@@NepDouble07 I think the same way mate , if we are really honest with ourselves , good quality plastic really is the premium material in more ways than glass , having said that , glass does have a nice feel to it. For my money , I'm not fussed which it comes with , however , if the deciding point on whether i get bigger battery and lighter weight of plastic back allows it ....... I'll take plastic back everytime.
@@Techtablets my take from having an S10 and doing a trade in for this phone, I don't really like how the Samsung glass back too much. I use a case anyway. I think it's important if the feeling sucks regardless of material choice tho. I hope I like it cuz I like the idea of having no case on my phone more often
@NURUL AIN then let them make the back out of paper, why care ? You put a case on it. Chris complained because for that price, it's a damn rip off. Then why in the past everyone kept bitching about S2, S3 made out of cheap plastic. Now when it's back, people accept it. This proves how dumb and fanboys some people are.
Livius it has 128g ram, 120 he refresh rate, one of the latest chipsets, and a good camera, they went cheap on the less important aspects to keep the price down. Good for me
Such an indepth review! I have watched tonn of these, the minor things you point out like DC dimming and EIS aren't pointed out by other reviews. Subsribed!
Another great in-depth review and good take on S20 FE. Currently in USA, Samsung is offering $599 launch price for the 5G version and that's a marvelous price for a 5G phone with top end SD865 from a name brand, not from the Chinese ones. Regarding the 12MP main camera, it is having a 1/1.76 sensor which is almost similar in size compared to the popular 64MP Cameras like GW1 and IMX 686, resulting 1.8 uM pixel size, higher than the 1.6 uM in both of those sensors. Since it is not using Pixel Binning, Samsung was able to add the Dual Pixel Auto Focus in this Camera. Also, lot of people are thinking 8MP Telephoto is a huge downgrade compared to 64MP one in S20 and S20+ which is wrong. Those two phones actually have 1.3X optical zoom and achieve 3X effective Zoom by cropping from the large 64MP image and then downscaling it to 12MP. Here, with 8MP, you have an actual 3X Telephoto Zoom range which does not need any background trickery. The 3X Zoom shots looked really great from your review.
In user forums (XDA, etc) the S20FE has Major Touch Ghosting on most devices. Latest SW fix updates did NOT fix it. Be sure to check. No modern brand phone has this issue but somehow Samsung managed it on an S20. THIS is major.
Lucky as the users that returned their Note7 before exploding. Yes, it seems our numbers grow every day. Pick up the Samsung A01 Core, for $100... it's Ghost free... that's how messed up this issue is.
Thanks for video. Will be getting my Navy Cloud FE in today. Traded in my Pixel 3a and also got $70 Samsung credit. Total cost with trade in and wireless charger(from credit) is $474...Good deal!
Is it still a good buy in August 2021? I am planning to upgrade from M51 to this. I wanted A72, and this one is in the same price bracket here in Turkey. Now I can't decide between this and A72. Also, Vera
Very good review. I like the polycarbonate build quality as opposed to the glass 🥪. As far as I'm concerned my ☁️ red is a definite homerun. The 865, blazing & 120hz display is 😍 beautiful even at 1080p. Flat display again preferred. Yep, no-brainer even at full retail!
I love my s10 but the exynos is really pissing me off. Gets warm and the battery barely lasts unless on power saving mode which makes it even slower. Definately going to get one of these soon!
@@dangerdon6906 then I did get an s20 fe 5g and it was slow, buggy, glitchy, touchscreen issues as well as somehow shit battery so I give up on Samsung. Might try the pixel 6 but that seemingly uses a Samsung made exynos type processor. For now I’m using an iPhone XS Max and it’s easily better than all of my Samsungs and I had them for years and years. An s1 mini, galaxy fame, s4, s5 neo, s7, s10, s20 fe 5g.
It is. I was referring to the button there with the pro camera shutter to just shot video at the same time like it use to be. I came out wrong 😩 Yes 100% pro video mode is there.
@@Techtablets Ahh, I understand. Good review showing off the performance and in action capabilities of the camera. These are things that have been missing from other reviews that lumped it into being a slightly worse S20 in certain aspects. Still makes it compelling option.
Thanks since I take photos of it so often thought people might like to know. Most cameras in phones can't pick up that cannonball in the shot. But the 3x and 5x optical cameras can!
Thanks for this very good in-depth review. IMHO, I prefer the plastic back (especially with wireless charging). I totally agree with you about the adapter that should be 25W. In Thailand, every model comes with 8 GB of RAM.
One thing to note about the silver ring around the selfie camera. This is because a major point of this phone is for selfies, and when doing this with age diverse groups, it makes it easier for everyone to spot the camera location.
What are other options to this phone? I see the Huawei P30 Pro, maybe Lg V50 if ever available, xiaomi mi 10...wireless charging and ois are important to me
Disappointed with the plastic back????? Dude i dont know if you did your homework. The plastic is part of changes to get the price down. And what does a glass back mean if you are going to put a case on???
I love the coming back of plastic back. In my opinion, phone makers should make more plastic back phones with metal frame. In fact position the plastic back a tad higher then the camera island, and perhaps a metal frame around the camera island for protection would be nice. Then, we can kiss bulky phone cases goodbye and carry phones naked and ACTUALLY get to enjoy the color choices for once! I'm really annoyed with whoever start the glass back design, now we are stuck with it because apparently there is no option.
Hi Chris, I have a couple of questions regarding S20 FE. 1. How did you find the placement of the fingerprint scanner compared with your S10+? 2. Will this phone replace your S10+? If yes/no, what's that critical factor that made you change/stay?
There's a very good reason only a 15W charger is included. Most people don't care and they're happy with what it is and it'll last longer this way if it's charged slower. For all tech users, people who even know what 25W charging is, they can go out of their way to buy the 25W charger and charge it quicker. This allows people who care to charge it faster but for the average person that doesn't care, they're getting a phone with longer battery capacity lifetime.
I have the s20 Fe I've had it for a little over a month now and I'm highly pleased with it I haven't had any problems out of it especially the ones that you've named off it might be just the phone you have cuz mine's been spot on
I am not trying to be nitpicking here but you had a little stutter at 3:00 a firmware update should fix this * I was sent here by Xiaomi Group* XD Joking aside this is the only REAL review about this phone the other only talked about the new price range and plastic back and the flat-screen nothing else at all thanks for this effort Chris Keep it up

Please, can you do DEX review, wireless and normal one on S20 FE?
Thank you for bringing up the PWM and lack of dc dimming, most reviewers don't bring up that type of stuff. Can you tell at what level do you begin to see the pwm?
I'm really keen to know about this too. I'm considering this phone but I do use my phone in low brightness often in bed. Will I see the screen flicker and at what percentage of brightness does it become apparent? Thanks!
Great review mate , Don't give up on the 3.5 mm headphone jack , I'm optimistic it will make a come back. It is clear many people still want it , as the Smart phone market becomes more diverse and big companies struggle to keep customers , they will be grabbing every feature they can to keep customers 😉.
I own one of these. A big plus is a MicroSD card slot. Less phones have these. I just tried a couple more videos from the front camera and the rear camera, because you did. Taking myself from the front camera wasn't unusually shaky, as you were demonstrating. I don't know if it was a software update, or you just happen to have a crappy camera. If I'm not holding the phone reasonably steady, it will produce a shaky image, but no biggie. You got to try to hold things steady no matter what camera or phone you have. If you're having an epileptic attack was shooting a video, no hardware or software will save you from a crappy result.
@@Techtablets i finish your review, everything that you say is right, i just worried about the battery life ( not bad ) picture is great, samsung s20 fe camera vs xiaomi mi 10 ultra who is the winner ?? Thanks for your review, always great !!!
@TechTablets I would only use the *120Hz setting* if I'm gaming to save battery life. The *North American* version only supports the low & mid band 5G bands. It does NOT support the faster high-band mmWave. Despite not having the high/mmWave band, I really don't mind as you have to be really next to the tower to receive the 1GBps speed it promises. We have mmWave already active in my town and many cities in the USA. The low & mid band provides great indoor signals and great coverage outside even though the speeds only average from about 350-650 MBps. It's still way faster than our current 4G LTE-Advanced bands. It's still a great deal for us Americans and/or Canadians who are on a budget and still want to get an S20 series version for 2020.
Great review Chris! No DC dimming means no buy for me, my eyes are sensitive to this kind of flicker :( If Samsung ever fix this with a firmware update, please do an update video! By the way, are you going to review Galaxy Tab A 10.4 (2020) and Sony's Xperia 5 II?
Best review i saw from my soon coming Galaxy S20fe 5G 💪in 2021 brandnew,orderd via Vodafone The Netherlands. Coming from the Galaxy S10+(wich i will keep as my backup device)
I've watched a bunch of reviews of this s20 fe and I gotta say. this phone looks huge in this guys hands. I don't know if the other reviewers have big hands or this guy has small hands lol.
I purchased the S20+ (curved) and getting a proper screen protector for it that would work with the Ultrasonic 3D fingerprint reader was HELL. (FE is optical/flat screen). I ended up returning the S20+. Interestingly, the memory used typically was 5-6GB out of 12GB. When I ran many many apps I think the most it went up to was 8GB/12GB. Interestingly, in your Oct 22nd OnePlus 8T review at 7m you mentioned the memory management. I do recall when I was opening a LOT of apps to test the 12GB on the S20+, if I went back to the apps in some cases they didn't fully start and/or it appeared to have an "effect" like you had where it then paused and opened the app (as if it was not actually waiting in memory). Under normal conditions with no apps running, what does the SammySung app say the used RAM is and does that effect also happen with this one. I am thinking it may be less Samsung and more Android. (IMO Memory management tends to be OS related not app/brand related).
I have watched a lot of videos on the s20fe, and this is by far the most in depth and enjoyable watch! I have a question, would the in screen fingerprint scanner work with a tempered glass screen protector? Thank you.
Great review and in Thailand only 550 euro for the 5g version in pre order. "Sadly" I have a OnePlus 7 pro, but otherwise would pick one up. Do much prefer Samsung's oneui over oxygen
Hi, awesome videos. Quick question: What camera do you use and do you use a CPL filter when shooting videos/reviews of phones/tablets? I don't see much reflection, amazing.
I use a Sony A6400 with a 30mm Sigma F/1.4 and 16mm wide. No filter I just try to adjust my lights without reflection. But it's hard with the overhead mount that can still reflect the camera and mount
Thanks for video! If we consider that will use case, does not matter plastic or glass. I have also complained about 6 gb ram with base model and no type c to jack adapter. I don't prefer fast charging because there are 20 minutes different between 15 and 25 watts. Hope stocks never expired before I buy :)
I don't want bigger screens but their decision to make this a bit of a big boi 6.5" gives them a bigger physical heatsink. I don't think people think that way but it makes sense to me at least. Unsure what plastic back does for thermals as well
have you heard about the ghost touch problem with s20 fe? does it happen to your phone? im planning to buy the s20 fe and currently researching its pros and cons.. thanks for the reply :)
hello sir i love your reviews on youtube. Because you can tell bravely pros and cons... between redmi k30 ultra vs Samsung s20 FE which one would you buy ? I`ll buy one of these ones but i cant decide ? Thank you!

@@Techtablets i finish your review, everything that you say is right, i just worried about the battery life ( not bad ) picture is great, samsung s20 fe camera vs xiaomi mi 10 ultra who is the winner ??
Thanks for your review, always great !!!
@@roland7449 Hey man, how's the battery life? I'm planning on getting the 5g version with the sd 865.
@@ConorMcgregor322 yes i’m also curious with that point about the battery life
Such a good video, you considered so many things other reviewers over-looked!
@TechTablets
I would only use the *120Hz setting* if I'm gaming to save battery life.
The *North American* version only supports the low & mid band 5G bands. It does NOT support the faster high-band mmWave.
Despite not having the high/mmWave band, I really don't mind as you have to be really next to the tower to receive the 1GBps speed it promises.
We have mmWave already active in my town and many cities in the USA. The low & mid band provides great indoor signals and great coverage outside even though the speeds only average from about 350-650 MBps. It's still way faster than our current 4G LTE-Advanced bands.
It's still a great deal for us Americans and/or Canadians who are on a budget and still want to get an S20 series version for 2020.
Great review Chris! No DC dimming means no buy for me, my eyes are sensitive to this kind of flicker :(
If Samsung ever fix this with a firmware update, please do an update video!
By the way, are you going to review Galaxy Tab A 10.4 (2020) and Sony's Xperia 5 II?
I'm always a bit amused when a "phone" review doesn't mention anything about the actual phone . . . or did I miss it? 😎
Best review i saw from my soon coming Galaxy S20fe 5G 💪in 2021 brandnew,orderd via Vodafone The Netherlands. Coming from the Galaxy S10+(wich i will keep as my backup device)
In your opinion i have a Note 8 would this be considered a decent upgrade ?
I've watched a bunch of reviews of this s20 fe and I gotta say. this phone looks huge in this guys hands. I don't know if the other reviewers have big hands or this guy has small hands lol.
The updates really helped this phone
It aged terrifically
I purchased the S20+ (curved) and getting a proper screen protector for it that would work with the Ultrasonic 3D fingerprint reader was HELL. (FE is optical/flat screen). I ended up returning the S20+. Interestingly, the memory used typically was 5-6GB out of 12GB. When I ran many many apps I think the most it went up to was 8GB/12GB. Interestingly, in your Oct 22nd OnePlus 8T review at 7m you mentioned the memory management. I do recall when I was opening a LOT of apps to test the 12GB on the S20+, if I went back to the apps in some cases they didn't fully start and/or it appeared to have an "effect" like you had where it then paused and opened the app (as if it was not actually waiting in memory). Under normal conditions with no apps running, what does the SammySung app say the used RAM is and does that effect also happen with this one. I am thinking it may be less Samsung and more Android. (IMO Memory management tends to be OS related not app/brand related).
how is it today.. im thinking of purchasing one for vlogging?... is there something better in 2022. in the same price point?
Glad to see camera is really well. I was a bit warry after my experience with S20 which I found to be a step down in the camera department.
Will the fingerprint reader work with a glass screen protector?
one of the better review i saw thanks
I have watched a lot of videos on the s20fe, and this is by far the most in depth and enjoyable watch! I have a question, would the in screen fingerprint scanner work with a tempered glass screen protector? Thank you.
Yes it does work with a screen protector
Love the navy blue colour 😁 and coming from the UK the snapdragon processor. Finally!
Yes finally SD865!
I just received mine today
@@AkronKid330 Nice! Enjoy!
@@AkronKid330 worth this money? Us looking OnePlus 8 or S20 Fe.
@@stanislavpoplavskij7717 I think it's well worth the money
Great review and in Thailand only 550 euro for the 5g version in pre order. "Sadly" I have a OnePlus 7 pro, but otherwise would pick one up. Do much prefer Samsung's oneui over oxygen
Best review so far and I have check 20 different ones.
I really enjoyed this review you did a good job.
Watched several review. Yours the best!!! 👍👍👍
Hi, awesome videos. Quick question: What camera do you use and do you use a CPL filter when shooting videos/reviews of phones/tablets? I don't see much reflection, amazing.
I use a Sony A6400 with a 30mm Sigma F/1.4 and 16mm wide. No filter I just try to adjust my lights without reflection. But it's hard with the overhead mount that can still reflect the camera and mount
Amazing unboxing and hands on review as always stay safe Sir
In depth review, much appreciated for your review
Why can't we have a flat screen with no bezels?
Poco F2 Pro, K30 Ultra and K30 Pro Zoom I reviewed are slimmer bezels and no notch or cut out
Love the videos man. keep it up!
Glad you like them!
TechTablets always dude
Thanks for video!
If we consider that will use case, does not matter plastic or glass. I have also complained about 6 gb ram with base model and no type c to jack adapter. I don't prefer fast charging because there are 20 minutes different between 15 and 25 watts. Hope stocks never expired before I buy :)
between this and mi 10 which do you prefer for detailed photos and video stabilization?
Wow, FE make me want one esp that Red variant.
Does the camera can save picture in raw mode??
I don't want bigger screens but their decision to make this a bit of a big boi 6.5" gives them a bigger physical heatsink. I don't think people think that way but it makes sense to me at least. Unsure what plastic back does for thermals as well
excited to your realme 7 series review
Well i saw them 😂😂
Coming soon! Still WIP
Best review out in youtube
Hi, Sir! Compared to Realme X50 pro, what is the better phone?
How many years would this phone last,looked after,in a case?thanks.
If I buy the US unlocked version will it work in Egypt?
the best review so far on youtube...does it get hot while video recording?
Good job Chris!
have you heard about the ghost touch problem with s20 fe? does it happen to your phone? im planning to buy the s20 fe and currently researching its pros and cons.. thanks for the reply :)
Please do a vs with the regular s20 👀🙏
Great review! Is the 4k 60fps on the rear camera stabilized?
I believe so
Great review. I was hesitating between the S20 fe and the Mi 10t pro...
6:05 There is no 8gb ram option... But great video.
Which one you suggest me to pick oneplus 8t or s20 FE ?
What would you say is better, S20 FE 5g or the s10+? I'm having a lot of trouble choosing my first phone.
S10+ if you don't need 120hz. But mines the sd855 version
@@Techtablets Is there really any other difference besides the 120hz? I'm also thinking about how many years of updates the s10+ would have.
6:05 does the Pixel 5 have that dual-band GPS feature?
hello sir i love your reviews on youtube. Because you can tell bravely pros and cons... between redmi k30 ultra vs Samsung s20 FE which one would you buy ? I`ll buy one of these ones but i cant decide ? Thank you!
Simply Awesome review, one more question, Does phone has noise cancelation microphone?
Yes it does
Nice review, the best i've seen so far for this phone 👍
How does this compare with the OnePlus 8 Pro? Which would be a better purchase?
Antutu score is really surprising😯😮
Hi,
Is there live focus mode in telephoto lens?
Thank you!
Does the 5g version supports both Sub-6 and mmwave or only Sub-6? Thanks!
Awesome and thorough review, thank you!
