OnLeaks/Pricebaba
Rumors have swirled of a Galaxy S20 Fan Edition that would serve as a lower-cost alternative to the original,and it now appears to exist as more than just a collection of murmurs. Well-known tipster OnLeaks and Pricebaba have posted leak-based renders of what they say is the Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) 5G. The more device would still have a roughly 6.4-inch screen,a familiar-looking camera array and other S20-like design touches,but would use a frosted or matte plastic back in place of glass. Like the base Galaxy Note 20,then,you’d sacrifice some of that premium feel for a more affordable device.
The rest of the cost-cutting might come through memory and the cameras. Like the Galaxy S10 Lite,you might not have to settle for a lower-end processor. You might not have to give up the 120Hz display,either. Instead,you might have to make do with a reduced 6GB to 8GB of RAM. You’d also have to settle for a relatively simple rear camera array that could include a 12MP main camera (according to Ice Universe),a 12MP ultra-wide and an 8MP telephoto with 3X optical zoom. GalaxyClub claimed it would have a 4,500mAh battery that could provide healthy battery life.
The Elec sources have maintained that Samsung could release the S20 FE 5G in South Korea in October for 900,000 won,or about $750. It’s not certain if the phone would come to the US,although we wouldn’t rule it out. If it does,it could fill a conspicuous gap. There’s a chasm between the $999-plus S20 series and mid-tier phones like the $600 Galaxy A71 5G. A cut-down S20 could court those who want flagship-level speed and display tech without paying for features they don’t think they’ll appreciate.
