The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition went official in India back in October as the most affordable Galaxy S20 series smartphone. The Exynos 990 chipset powered phone carried support for 4G connectivity. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has approved a new Samsung phone with SM-G781B/DS model number. A product page of the same device has appeared on Samsung India’s website (via. Pricebaba). The model number suggests that it could be the 5G version of the Galaxy S20 FE.
It is known that the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G edition has an SM-G780 model number whereas the SM-G781 model number belongs to its 5G sibling. India received the Exynos 990 powered variant of the device, while some other markets like the U.S. received the 5G-ready Snapdragon 865 SoC powered variant.
The BIS listing of the Galaxy S20 FE and the appearance of its support page on the official website suggests it could be coming soon to India. Samsung is known for skipping Snapdragon chipset versions of its high-end phones in India. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the country receives the Galaxy S20 FE 5G with SD865 onboard. The 4G and 5G editions of the Galaxy S20 FE have the same specs and they only differ in the chipset department.
