The Galaxy S20 FE was the second ‘Fan Edition’ smartphone from Samsung after the Galaxy Note Fan Edition from 2017. It was introduced in response to the poor sales of the regular Galaxy S series phones in the last few years. Unsurprisingly, the flagship killer from the South Korean tech giant sold very well.
According to Samsung (via 9To5Google), it sold over 10 million units of Galaxy S20 FE since its launch in Q4 2020. Although the company hasn’t revealed it, we think that this number also includes the sales data of 4G variants powered by Exynos 990 and Snapdragon 865 respectively.
Although the sales figure sounds very low when compared to the sales of the iPhone 13 series during the holiday season alone, one needs to understand that Samsung craters to a wide variety of audiences with handsets spread across different price segments. Also, the firm has to compete with other Android OEMs.
If the 10+ million units weren’t good, then Samsun wouldn’t be releasing the Galaxy S21 FE in the first place. In fact, the successor was supposed to launch in August but due to supply chain issues, it has been delayed until now.
