Earlier this month, a new Galaxy S20 FE variant was certified by WiFi Alliance. This smartphone was spotted on NBTC last week with 4G connectivity. Now, a few days later, a new report reveals the chipset present in this handset.

According to a report by SamMobile, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 FE model will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. But the device will lack 5G connectivity. It will be limited to 4G, as confirmed by NBTC last week.

This variant of the Galaxy S20 FE will come with model number SM-G780G. It will have the exact same specs as the original Galaxy S20 FE variants, which were unveiled in September 2020. It will also have an MST chip for Samsung Pay, which is not found inside the Galaxy S21 series.

That said, it is not known why Samsung is set to release a new variant of Galaxy S20 FE months after the smartphone’s debut. For those unaware, this phone’s successor (Galaxy S21 FE) is reported to be in the works and could go official in August.

In related news, Samsung will start selling the original Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India starting tomorrow (March 30). This phone is expected to cost under ₹50,000 in India.
