Samsung initially announced Galaxy S20 FE in September. The smartphone debuted in India last week in a single 8GB + 128GB configuration priced at ₹49,999 ($681). It went on sale starting yesterday (October 16) in the country.
At the same time, the company announced a higher 256GB variant of the handset. It costs ₹53,999 ($735) and interested customers can pre-order it starting today (October 17) from Samsung online store as well as other leading offline and online retailers. The device will start shipping from October 28.
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 FE for India, we never thought it would debut the higher storage variant just within a week. This could be because of intense competition from brands like OnePlus that launched the OnePlus 8T in 256GB variant earlier this week at a cheaper price tag.
You might be wondering why we are saying this. That’s because the 8GB + 256GB version of Galaxy S20 FE will be only available in Cloud Navy color option. On the other hand, the 8GB + 128GB variant can be purchased in one of the five colors – Cloud Red, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy and Cloud White.
This somewhat proves that Samsung has rushed to bring the higher storage version to the country. The company usually launches higher variants of its handsets after a few months.
