The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition technically isn’t the ‘Galaxy S20 Lite’ that many were expecting, but that distinction is in name only, because the newest Galaxy phone is essentially a more affordable spin on the Galaxy S20 from early 2020.

If the Galaxy S20 tempted you, but its starting price of $999 / £899 / AU$1,499 (for a 5G model) put you off, then the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (or FE for short) may be for you. It has many of the flagship’s top features, including a super-smooth 120Hz screen, useful photography tricks and a top-end processor, but at a lower starting price.

Well, we say the price is lower, but maybe not enough so – at $699 / £699 / AU$1,149 (for the 5G model) the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is certainly more affordable than the base-model S20, but it’s still pricier than many other phones with similar features and specs. Buy this if you’re committed to the Samsung line and want something more than a Galaxy A-series phone – but know that you could get a similarly specced phone from a Chinese brand for half the price.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE comes in a wide variety of eye-catching colors, from a pale mint to bright red and more besides, and there’s much more diversity than the typically limited selection of other smartphones. The design could be divisive though, as the screen doesn’t curve at the edges, and the back of the handset is plastic, making the phone feel relatively cheap in the hand.
