Samsung has added another interesting option to its lineup with the all-new Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 2022, and on paper it looks like a device that wants to be your daily driver. Announced in 2022, April 01, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
On the front you get a 6.5 inches, 102.0 cm 2 (~85.7% screen-to-body ratio) panel, pushing a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~405 ppi density), and in real-world use it looks bright, crisp and easy on the eyes. The build feels well put together, and Samsung has clearly paid attention to the in-hand feel. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Cloud White.
Performance & Software
Powering the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 2022 is the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865 5G (7 nm+), paired with 6GB of RAM. That combination should handle day-to-day multitasking and most games without breaking a sweat. It runs Android 12, One UI 4.1 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
On the camera side, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 2022 is led by a 12 MP main sensor (12 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.76", 1.8µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS 8 MP, f/2.4, 76mm (telepho…). Expect solid detail in good light, with the usual softness creeping in once the sun goes down.
Battery
Keeping the lights on is a Li-Ion 4500 mAh cell, and that is a healthy number that keeps range anxiety at bay.
