Oct. 5, 2020Samsungunveiledthe Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE) about a couple of weeks ago. It is the fourth smartphone in the Galaxy S20 lineup, which wasfirst unveiledin February earlier this year. The device has already gone on sale in the US while we, in India, are still waiting on the official price and availability details. But, an IANS report has now revealed that the Galaxy S20 FE is much closer than expected.
As per industry sources, the report (via Business Insider) reveals that the Galaxy S20 FE willfinally be launched in India on 6th October, i.e tomorrow itself. We also learn that the device will be priced“aggressively around Rs. 50,000 in the country.”This speculation falls in line with a recent 91Mobiles report, which reveals the official starting price of the Galaxy S20 FE in India. You can read more about itdown below.
Galaxy S20 FE: Specs & Features
Galaxy S20 FE features a polycarbonate build with a matte finish, which is similar to the Galaxy S20+ BTS Edition. It sports a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a centered punch-hole, housing a 32MP selfie camera, at the top.
The rectangular camera cutout on the rear includes a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 123-degree FOV, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and 30x Space Zoom.
Under the hood, Galaxy S20 FE is powered by theExynos 990 chipset(the same as theGalaxy S20andNote 20 seriesfrom earlier this year) in India. The global variants are powered by the flagship Snapdragon SoC. Plus, this is aGalaxy S10 Litesuccessor, which arrived with a Snapdragon chipset in India last year, thus, it makes the Galaxy S20 FE a bit of a disappointment for fans.
The chipset is coupled with up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of built-in storage. There’s no 5G support onboard here. It also comes equipped with a4,500mAh batterywith 25W wired and 15W wireless charging support.
A 91Mobilesreportthat cites retail industry sources reveals that theGalaxy S20 FE will be priced starting at Rs. 49,999 in India. This will be the price of the base variant, with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. the Galaxy S20 FE could be a better pick over therecently launchedGalaxy Note 20 if this leaked pricing is true.
But, my question is – Will you choose the Galaxy S20 FE over the upcoming OnePlus 8T in India? Will it because of theSnapdragon 865 over Exynos 990? Do let us know your opinion in the comments below.
