Update

Samsung has confirmed to launch Galaxy S20 FE in India on October 6 (tomorrow). If the below-mentioned leak is true, it will indeed start at ₹49,999 ($682) in the country. Anyway, we will know the exact price tomorrow.

Original Story

Due to pandemic and costlier price tags, the Galaxy S20 series did not sell well. Samsung predicted it quickly when the COVID-19 virus started spreading globally and begun to develop Galaxy S20 FE, a stripped-down version of its flagship smartphones at an affordable price tag of $699. It was unveiled in September for western markets and is expected to launch this month in India. Ahead of it, its starting price for the Indian market leaks.

The Galaxy S20 FE comes in two variants primarily. The standard Galaxy S20 FE (LTE) with Exynos 990 and Galaxy S20 FE 5G with Snapdragon 865. The latter variant is sold only in the markets where 5G is a thing, whereas the other markets get the 4G variant.

Further, talking about storage configurations, the device can be once again divided into three versions – 6GB +128GB, 8GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. However, it is worth noting that not all three variants are available in all the regions.

That said, according to an exclusive leak by 91Mobiles citing retail sources, the base variant for India will sell for ₹49,999 ($682). It is not sure which of the first two storage configurations will be sold as a base variant in India but still, the price is on-par with western markets 

Anyway, it is worth noting that the model coming to India will be powered by Exynos which is not bad per se but it does fall behind its Qualcomm counterpart in terms of overall performance and battery life.
