Despite the successor, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is still an excellent smartphone, which in the Fan Edition (FE) still occupies 8th place in the CHIP leaderboard – and is even ahead of the Galaxy S22 (standard model). The main differences between the Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Galaxy S20 5G are quickly listed: The FE model offers a 500 mAh larger battery and comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, not the in-house Exynos processor. For most users, this makes no difference in everyday life, but hardcore users may prefer the Snapdragon.
Visually a matter of taste: The FE model comes with a robust plastic back, the standard version offers glass here. In addition, the cameras deviate minimally. The main camera is identical, but the S20’s telephoto and ultra-wide-angle modules offer somewhat stronger values - at least on paper.
The open aperture is slightly better on the Tele (f/2.0 versus f/2.4 on the FE model) and the sensor offers 64 megapixels instead of 8 megapixels. DThe sensor of the ultra-wide-angle module, on the other hand, is slightly larger (1/2.55 inch versus 1/3 inch for the FE). The Galaxy FE 5G has a whopping 32 megapixels for the front camera, while the normal Galaxy S20 only has 10 megapixels.
Galaxy S20 5G oder S20 5G FE?
With both models you are right – and the decision is more a matter of taste. If you value a slightly better battery life and prefer the more robust plastic back, you should go for the FE model. Hardcore users will also appreciate the Snapdragon processor. In addition, the price speaks for the FE smartphone: The variant is usually a little cheaper than the S20 with a 5G module (view at Amazon).
Do you prefer the S21 or S22?
You can currently get the Galaxy S20 FE for around 500 euros. From a price-performance point of view, you get the clearly better overall package compared to the S21, which currently costs around 750 euros. And the S22? This is still really expensive at the moment and is therefore only worthwhile for the most loyal fans – everyone else is waiting a bit or getting it Smartphone in the tariff.
Our conclusion at the time of testing:
“The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G amazed us in our test with excellent performance in all categories. Due to the much longer battery life, it even leaves the in-house top model Galaxy S20 Ultra behind. The display is bright and colourful, there’s a smooth 120Hz mode, the equipment includes almost all essentials and the camera does a great job too. If battery life is very important to you, we recommend going for the slightly more expensive 5G version of the Galaxy S20 FE, otherwise the 4G version delivers comparable performance in the test.” Read the full review.
