After so many reports, rumours, and leaks, Samsung has officially announced to launch the Galaxy S20 FE on September 23. This device was previously known as Galaxy S20 Lite. The launch promo for this phone was first spotted on Samsung UK official website by Max Weiinbach of Android Police who shared it on Twitter. The South Korean tech giant is calling the event “Galaxy Unpacked for Every Fan”.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has leaked so extensively that there is nothing left to learn about it except for regional prices across the world. The last major leak of the handset from Roland Quandt of WinFuture not only revealed its design but entire specs as well.
The Galaxy S20 FE is expected to arrive with a 6.5-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with 407ppi, 120Hz refresh rate, 20:9 aspect ratio, in-screen fingerprint sensor, centred punch-hole, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
The handset is said to come in two variants – 4G & 5G. The former will be powered by Samsung Exynos 990 SoC, whereas the latter is said to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. Surprisingly, it may come only in single storage configuration – 6GB + 128GB (UFS 2.1) with support for microSD card.
The phone’s back material is unknown but its frame is claimed to be metal. Talking about the device’s rear panel, it will sport a 12MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (123 ultra-wide) + 8MP (3x telephoto, OIS) triple camera setup. Whereas, the front punch-hole will house a 32MP selfie camera.
The smartphone will come with all the necessary sensors and basic stuff such as accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic sensor, hall sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, stereo speakers tuned by AKG, and USB Type-C port.
The Galaxy S20 FE will either run One UI 2.1 or 2.5 out of the box backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. It will be also IP68-certified for dust and water resistance.
The handset will be available in six colors – white, blue, orange, lavender, green & red. Last but not least, it will measure 74.5 x 159.8 x 8.4mm dimensions and weigh 190g.
