We’ve been only 10 days in May and Samsung has already released security patches for a sizeable number of its devices. Recently, the company rolled out the update for Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy A23, and Galaxy A52. Now, it’s the older Galaxy S20 FE’s turn to receive the May 2023 security patch. The update is currently being seeded to the 4G Snapdragon version of the handset. Separately, the Galaxy A73 is also picking up the latest security update.

Galaxy A73 & Galaxy S20 FE get security boost with latest update

As reported by Sammobile, the May 2023 security patch is rolling out to the Galaxy A73 with firmware version A736BXXS3CWE1. Currently, the update is only being seeded to the units in Brazil but we can expect it to expand to more regions shortly. The outlet says the update comes packed in 227.29MB download, hinting it doesn’t bring any new features except some minor bug fixes.

Similarly, the Galaxy S20 FE is receiving the latest May security patch with firmware version G780GXXU4EWD2. The update is currently available in Russia and is expected to roll out to more countries within the next few weeks. To remind you, this handset was unveiled back in 2020, and according to Samsung’s update policy at the time, it will not receive any major updates but will continue to receive security patches for two more years.

Users of the above-mentioned devices should be getting an OTA notification for the update. If not, they can install the update manually by heading to Settings » Software update and tapping Download and install. Security patches usually don’t affect your data but it’s always a good idea to keep a backup.

So here are all of the details regarding the new discounted prices.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

One of the more notable deals is undoubtedly one of the best deals being offered right now. The South Korean tech giant has made the Galaxy Z Flip 3 model available for a price tag of 42,999 INR for its base 8GB + 128GB variant. This model is an older foldable smartphone from the brand but its a great deal considering flexible display phones are quite expensive. Furthermore, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was originally launched in India for over twice the current discounted price tag.

Keep in mind that this deal is inclusive of all discounts and offers. The device is currently listed for a price tag of 49,999 INR. Although, Samsung is offering an additional discount via 5,000 INR Instant Bank on HDFC credit card holders. Similarly, there is also a Shop App Welcome voucher discount worth 2,000 INR, and up to a 15,000 INR exchange offer on your current phone. All of this can be availed on the Shop App.

Galaxy S22

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is the brand’s flagship smartphone from last year. In other words, it still offers great value overall in terms of specs and performance. Now, it is also a good deal in terms of overall pricing. The Galaxy S22 can be purchased for as low as 51,999 INR, which makes it a sweet deal for those looking for a flagship grade handset.

Notably, the base model of the device was initially launched in India for a price tag of 72,999 INR. At the moment, it is currently listed for a price tag of 57,999 INR. However, the sale will bring the price down by 6,000 INR. This deal is thanks to the actual price cut as well as bank offers. You can avail this deal via Amazon during its Amazon Great Summer Sale 2023 promotional event in India. Another great flagship phone that went on discount during sale period is the iQOO 11 model on Amazon.

Galaxy S20 FE

Another older Galaxy S series smartphones that went on sale is the Galaxy S20 FE. For those unaware, the device is a Fan Edition model and was launched as smartphone that offers a flagship experience at a budget. However, the S20 FE model is a couple of years old now, but it should still be quite capable even when compared to upper mid range devices in the current market.

It offers various high end features despite having a relatively affordable price tag of just 24,999 INR. Again, this includes a 2,000 Instant Bank cashback for HDFC Card holders. There is also an exchange offer that brings the price down by up to 16,000 INR.

Galaxy Watch 4 LTE

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.

Samsung has quietly announced its Galaxy S20 FE (Snapdragon 865 version) in a few countries already. According to reports, this new version of the phone is already available in Malaysia and Vietnam.

When the Galaxy S20 FE was first announced last year, it was available in two versions – a 4G model powered by the Exynos 990 and a 5G version powered by the Snapdragon 865. Samsung is now replacing the Exynos 990 chipset inside the 4G version with the same processor available in the 5G model.

Launched in Vietnam today. Almost the same MSRP as the Exynos 990 but because Samsung let their partners to cut the price so the final price is only 10.4m Dong ($446) for the 8/256.

Samsung has a new Galaxy S20 FE smartphone. Last year, the manufacturer had announced the Galaxy S20 FE in two versions – a 4G version that has an Exynos 990 processor and a 5G version that has a Snapdragon 865 processor. This new version drops the Exynos 990 processor for a Snapdragon 865 chipset but skips the 5G modem.

The new Galaxy S20 FE 4G has the model number SM-G780G and is already listed on the Samsung Sweden website. The new version will be available in Cloud Lavender, Cloud Navy, Cloud Mint, and Cloud Red. There is only one version available for now and it has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage but it has been reported that there will be a version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage later.

According to Winfuture.de that first reported about the listing, the Galaxy S20 FE Snapdragon 865 version will sell for about €600 in Germany. However, prices are expected to vary depending on regions.

The Galaxy S20 FE has a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen with a centered punch hole that is home to a 32MP selfie camera. The phone has a MicroSD card slot that doubles as a second SIM slot. For the cameras, the Galaxy S20 FE has a 12MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP 123° ultrawide angle camera.

Samsung ships the phone with a 4500mAh battery that supports 15W fast wireless charging and 4.5W fast wireless charging. There is no audio jack but it has stereo speakers. Samsung launched the phone with Android 10 last year, while there is already an Android 11 update, we expect the new version to run Android 11 out of the box.

Update(April 8):

The wireless charging rating spotted on Wireless Power Consortium is generally a placeholder and has been misquoted before. The changes have been made accordingly.

Original story as follows…

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S20 FE 5G variant in India. However, a report of this very same device launching with 4G support in countries like the UK, Malaysia, Philippines is floating around. Amidst this, MySmartPrice has spotted the 4G variant in Wireless Power Consortium(WPC).

A Samsung smartphone with model number SM-G780G with ‘Samsung Galaxy S20 FE’ moniker appears on the WPC database. If you recall, this same model number was earlier reported to be the 4G variant despite sporting a Snapdragon 865 series chipset. We also see a render of the Galaxy S20 FE in Blue color.

This suggests that the Galaxy S20 FE 4G with Snapdragon 865 will have the same design and looks which also means that it will have the Glasstic back panel. The rating spotted on WPC isn’t to be considered final and the device will likely have the wireless charging same as other models(15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging).

Samsung is said to stop the manufacturing of the Exynos 990-powered Galaxy S20 FE soon and if true, the above-mentioned variant should be the replacement in the respective markets.

That said, the rest of the specs of the Galaxy S20 FE 4G variant likely to remain the same as the other models. In that case, the device will feature a 6.5-inch flat AMOLED screen with a 120hz refresh rate and an Infinity-O display design.

The triple-camera on the back will have a 12-megapixel main camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor with OIS and 3x optical zoom support, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens with a 123-degree FOV. Upfront, you will get a 32MP selfie shooter.

Other features include 8 GB of RAM, 128/256GB storage, microSD card, 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging support, and One UI 3.1 based on Android 11.

The post [Updated] Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G (Snapdragon 865 version) certified by the Wireless Power Consortium appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy S20 FE back in September 2020 as its second Fan Edition smartphone after the Galaxy Note FE from 2017. This handset launched in two variants – 4G and 5G. The former version is powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 990 SoC and the latter model features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Now, months after this phone’s release, Samsung may stop manufacturing the Exynos 990 variant.

The Galaxy S20 FE was one of the best smartphones launched in 2020. But those rave reviews were for the 5G variant with the Qualcomm chipset. Wheres, the 4G version was criticized by both media and users for its poor battery life and performance.

Looks like Samsung is trying to right this decision with its new move. The company recently launched the Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India. Also, the South Korean tech giant is reported to be working on a new 4G variant with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 instead of Exynos 990, as per multiple certifications.

Now, according to popular leakster Ice Universe, Samsung will halt the production of Exynos 990-equipped Galaxy S20 FE. This variant will be replaced by a Snapdragon 865+ model. This means the upcoming new Galaxy S20 FE (SM-G780G) could be powered by Snapdragon 865+ SoC and not Snapdragon 865.

That said, since this upcoming Galaxy S20 FE has been already listed on multiple regional Samsung websites, we can expect it to go official very soon.

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.

A few hours back, an IANS report revealed that Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India next week. Now, a Twitter user suggests on which date this smartphone will be debuting in the country.

Back in October, Samsung only released the 4G variant of Galaxy S20 FE in India. This version of the handset is powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 990 SoC, which is inferior to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset present inside the 5G version.

But now, after five months, the South Korean tech giant has finally decided to bring Galaxy S20 FE 5G to India. The IANS report that broke the news only mentioned that this phone will be launching next week.

However, according to a Twitter user called Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata), the Galaxy S20 FE 5G will be launching in India on March 30 (Tuesday). This person has been lately accurate with their tips.

Also, Samsung has already put up a product page for this smartphone with the tagline ‘Now with Snapdragon processor’ on its Indian website, in addition to the support page that went live a few weeks back.

The IANS report claimed that the company will be pricing this handset under ₹50,000. On the other hand, Twitter user Debayan says that the Galaxy S20 FE 5G will compete with the newly announced OnePlus 9 in India.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 smartphones back in January 2021. At the event, the company spoke about a lot of new UI camera features but those were limited to the S21 devices. Now, after Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series, the company is bringing them to the older flagships like Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

A new update with firmware version G781BXXU2CUC6 is rolling out to the users of Galaxy S20 FE 5G. As for features, the device gets the following camera features from the Galaxy S21:

• New effects in Portrait mode
• Ability to use Ultrawide camera in ‘Pro’ mode.

That said, the update hasn’t brought other notable features like Director’s view which lets you preview your video while shooting via front/rear cameras. Apart from this, the Night mode hasn’t got the goodies like low-light Portraits, highest exposure settings etc.

It is worth noting that the update for the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series that came last week with the respective firmware versions G98xxXXU7DUC7 and N98xxXXU1DUC8 also didn’t get the Director’s View.

Coming back, the new update for Galaxy S20 FE 5G is available in several European countries like Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, the Baltic region, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and the Nordic region.

If you are someone living in Europe, you can try out the new update by navigating to Settings->Software update->Download and install.

Do note that this update is for the 5G variant with model number SM-G781B only as of now. That is, the users of the Galaxy S20 FE LTE variant in countries like India needs to wait till Samsung expands the regions.

More than a month ago, the support page for the Galaxy S20 FE 5G went live on Samsung India’s website. At around the same time, this handset was also certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). Now, a report says that the South Korean tech giant will be finally debuting this smartphone in the country next week.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S20 FE in September 2020. The smartphone comes in two variants – 4G and 5G. However, the company only released the 4G model in India in October.

Now, five months after the launch of this handset in the country, the firm may finally bring the 5G variant next week, as per an IANS report (via ET Telecom). The report citing industry sources says that Samsung will be pricing the Galaxy S20 FE 5G under ₹50,000 ($688).

If this happens to be true, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G could be one of the best deals for premium smartphone buyers in India, thanks to all the selective features from the Galaxy S20 series. Above all, this model comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC instead of an Exynos 990 SoC as found inside the 4G variant.

That said, if your budget is lower, you can currently get the Galaxy S20 FE 4G version for around ₹40,000 ($550) or less. But it is worth noting that due to the Exynos 990 chipset, this variant of the phone provides poor battery life and performance when compared to the 5G version.

Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE as a toned-down version of the Galaxy S20 series. This device comes in both 4G and 5G variants. Earlier this month, a new version of this smartphone appeared on WiFi Alliance. Now, this handset has been certified by yet another bureau.

A few days back, a new Samsung Galaxy S20 FE model was certified by WiFi Alliance. According to the agency, this smartphone will come with three model numbers – SM-G780G, SM-G780G/DS, and SM-G780G/DSM,

Going by their model numbers, this phone will have dual-SIM support. Further, the certifications also revealed that this handset will debut with Android 11 (One UI 3.x) out of the box.

Furthermore, the device’s newly spotted NBTC certification confirms it to be a 4G smartphone. Hence, we can expect Samsung to launch this phone in the countries where 5G deployment is still a work in progress.

That said, nothing else is known about this new Galaxy S20 FE apart from the above-mentioned specifics. But we can speculate it to feature a similar design and specs but with a new SoC due to chip shortage.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 FE variant? Do let us know in the comment section below.

The Galaxy S20 FE was arguably one of the best smartphones released in 2020. Samsung debuted its second-ever Fan Edition phone in both 4G and 5G versions with different SoCs. Now, months after their launch, a new upcoming model of this handset appears on WiFi Alliance.

For those unaware, Samsung sells two different Galaxy S20 FE smartphones across the world. The one with 5G connectivity called Galaxy S20 FE 5G is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. On the other hand, the 4G-only model called Galaxy S20 FE is powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 990 SoC.

It has been over five months since these handsets hit the market. In fact, details regarding their successor (Galaxy S21 FE) have begun to pop up on the internet. Hence, it is surprising to know that the South Korean tech giant is set to release a new variant of Galaxy S20 FE, as per the WiFi Alliance certifications spotted by SamMobile.

According to these certifications, the forthcoming Galaxy S20 FE phone will come with three model numbers, namely SM-G780G, SM-G780G/DS, and SM-G780G/DSM. Going by the model numbers, it is certain that this device will be available in both single and dual-SIM variants.

Unfortunately, the WiFi Alliance certifications do not reveal anything else about this smartphone except for the fact that it will debut with Android 11 (One UI 3.x) out of the box. Hence, the new version of Galaxy S20 FE could receive up to Android 14, as per the company’s update policy.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE (4G and 5G) in late September 2020. It is a cheaper alternative to the standard Galaxy S20 with a much better value. Since its release, this device has been on offer from time to time across the world. It has once again received a hefty discount in the US.

The South Korean tech giant debuted the Galaxy S20 FE 5G 8GB + 128GB variant for $699.99 in the US. This variant of the handset has been now discounted by $100 on Amazon. Hence, interested customers can get this phone for only $599.99.

It is worth noting that the model on offer is unlocked and hence, buyers can insert the supported SIM of their choice. Also, the discount is applicable on all the six colors, namely Cloud Navy, Cloud White, Cloud Red, Cloud Green, Cloud Orange, and Cloud Lavender.

Additionally, buyers can also get the Galaxy Buds Pro in Black color for only $99.99 ($100 off) by checking it out along with the Galaxy S20 FE 5G. That said, the higher 256GB variant of the handset, which comes only in Cloud Navy color option is marked as temporarily out of stock.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G launched with One UI 2.5 based on Android 10. The phone was later updated to Android 11-based One UI 3.0. It is currently receiving One UI 3.1 update after being pulled back last week.

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 3.1 update that shipped with the Galaxy S21 series to its older devices. One of the devices that recently got the update is the Galaxy S20 FE but it appears that Samsung has temporarily suspended the rollout.

While there has been no official statement from Samsung regarding the halt of the rollout, it has been reported by SamMobile that the update is no longer via OTA or through Smart Switch. There are speculations that Samsung may have stopped the rollout due to bugs. Some users are said to have reported performance and battery-related issues.

Samsung should resume the rollout once the issues have been resolved. So if you own a Galaxy S20 FE and you are yet to receive the update, then you should be patient.

The new update brings Google Discover to the home screen, the ability to remove location data when sharing photos, Google Home device controls in quick settings, and the ability to add video call effects to third-party apps. It also comes with February 2021′ security patch.

The Galaxy S20 FE launched last year with Android 10 out of the box. It received the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update in December and is among the Samsung devices that will get OS upgrades and security updates for three years.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G specifications

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G has a 6.5-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a 32-megapixel front camera and a 12-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 12-megapixel (ultrawide, with OIS) + 12-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera system.

From raising the camera bar to new designs to incredibly fast charging, this year’s phones have been nothing short of outstanding. So you can imagine how tasking it must have been to compile a list of the Android phones we think are the best of the year. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy our picks.

Best Camera Smartphone – Huawei Mate 40 Pro+

Over the past couple of years, Huawei has greatly improved the camera performance of its phones, and that investment has paid off with the Mate 40 Pro+ as it sits atop DxOMark‘s smartphone camera rankings.

The phone which packs five cameras including a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP periscope zoom lens, and a 20MP ultrawide angle camera among others; takes incredible photos in all lighting conditions. Its zoom capability is also one of the best you will find in a smartphone released this year.

If you want a phone with very excellent camera performance, then it should be the Mate 40 Pro+.

Best All-Round Flagship – Xiaomi Mi 10

For this category, we looked at a combination of specs, price, review, and even availability in different markets. It was pretty difficult coming up with a winner as there were strong contenders. Nevertheless, the Xiaomi Mi 10 was the device we finally settled for.

The phone which launched in the first half is not Xiaomi‘s best phone this year. That award goes to the Mi 10 Ultra but the standard Mi 10 is the one that satisfies most of the criteria.

Honorable mention – The Galaxy S20 gets an honorable mention as it is the runner-up in this category. Samsung’s 2020 S -series flagship is a great choice for anyone searching for a phone that ticks most of the boxes. It has a QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, great cameras, an IP68 rating, support for wireless charging, and will receive three years of OS upgrades.

Best Value Flagship – Mi 10T Pro 5G

Our pick for the best value flagship phone is the Mi 10T Pro 5G. The €599 (8+128GB) phone packs an incredible LCD display with a whopping 144Hz refresh rate. There is a Snapdragon 865 processor on board along with superfast UFS 3.1 storage. You also get a 108MP triple rear camera, an IR blaster, and a massive 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Honorable mention – The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is one of Samsung’s best offerings this year with its Super AMOLED 120Hz screen, Exynos 990/Snapdragon 865 processor, nice cameras, and a 4500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging and 15W wireless charging. It also has an IP68 rating but a plastic rear. It is more pricey at $699 for the 128GB version but like other Samsung flagships released this year, it will also get three OS upgrades. It even already received the Android 11 update.

Stand-out Phone of The Year – LG Wing

In a year were foldable phones made a big splash, LG managed to steal the spotlight for its uniquely designed LG Wing smartphone. The phone which takes a different approach to the dual-screen design with a satisfying swivel mechanism also brings new ways a smartphone can be used.

Best Foldable – Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

Samsung cemented its hold on the foldable smartphone market with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 this year. The new phone packs larger displays, a better hinge design, a bigger battery, and faster-wired charging. It also packs the more powerful Snapdragon 865+ processor, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for $1,999.

Best Budget 5G Phone – OnePlus Nord

The OnePlus Nord was announced this year as the first budget OnePlus phone in a long while. The mid-range phone gets our nod as the best budget 5G phone for its combination of specs and price. For a starting price of €399, you get a 90Hz AMOLED display, quad rear cameras, dual front-facing cameras, a Snapdragon 765G processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4115mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. Are there cheaper 5G phones? Yes, there are but they come with tradeoffs such as an LCD display or an AMOLED display with no refresh rate, less RAM, less powerful processors, and slower charging technologies.

Honorable Mentions – The Moto G 5G Plus gets an honorable mention. It matches the OnePlus Nord in terms of the number of cameras, has a display with a high refresh rate albeit LCD, packs a massive 5000mAh battery that will last more than a day, and runs a near-stock version of Android. Its slightly lower clocked Snapdragon 765 processor will also handle anything you throw at it. It’s €399 for the 6+128GB version.

The realme 7 5G and the Mi 10 Lite 5G are also strong contenders and deserve to be mentioned.

Best flagship You Can’t Buy

The Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ and the Mi 10 Ultra tie for this category. The latter is expected to be sold in global markets but is yet to be available for purchase three months after it launched. In its home country, Huawei will be selling the phone in limited quantities thrice a week.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra which is Xiaomi’s best phone this year will not be sold outside China. So the only way to get it is to import the device from China.

Samsung has started rolling out One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 to its devices earlier this month. As of now, the update is live for Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note20, and Galaxy Note20 Ultra. The latest smartphone to join this list is the Galaxy S20 FE.

According to SamMobile, the South Korean tech giant has begun to seed One UI 3.0 (Android 11) build for Galaxy S20 FE in Russia. The new update comes with firmware version G780FXXU1BTL1 and December 2020 security patch.

Currently, this build is only available for select users in the country. In order to check whether if you have received it, then head over to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Anyway, if you haven’t got it yet, then do not worry as the update will be hitting your unit once the company extends the availability of the build in the coming days.

Similarly, users in other regions should also start receiving the update very soon. Also, it is worth noting that the world’s largest smartphone maker has released the update for this device before the tipped date.

The Galaxy S20 FE is eligible for three generations of Android updates. Therefore, it will be getting Android 12 and Android 13 in the future.

The post One UI 3.0 (Android 11) update is live for Galaxy S20 FE appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung recently revealed its roadmap for the One UI 3.0 rollout based on the Android 11 operating system. Based on that, the company seems to have confirmed that the update for the Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) isn’t coming anytime soon.

Based on the roadmap shared by the South Korean giant, the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update for the Galaxy S20 FE is a few months away, at least in the European market. However, the company has started the rollout for other devices.

Samsung has started seeding the new update to its Galaxy S20 flagship smartphones — Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra. The devices next in line to get the update includes Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 10, and the Galaxy S10 lineup.

The roadmap also hints that the update for the company’s foldable smartphones should be rolled out next month. But, the original Galaxy Fold is set to receive the Android 11-based One UI 3.0 update in February and select Galaxy S20 FE models are also set to get the update around the same time.

Although Samsung is trying to improve its update rollout timing, the company definitely needs to work more on this as it’s a bit disappointing to see that a smartphone under the flagship lineup isn’t among the firsts to get the latest update.

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 3.0 stable update for Galaxy S20 series recently. The update is currently reaching users in the USA, Europe with other regions to follow suit. While the other devices were expected to get it in the coming months, a tipster now says that the Galaxy Note 20, and S20 FE could get it before the year ends.

Max Weinbach, a well-known Samsung tipster says that One UI 3.0 stable update will probably arrive for the devices on the following dates:

• Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G– December 14
• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE– December 27

If we recall, the Note 20 and Galaxy S20 FE launched with One UI 2.5. Although he has used the word ‘possible’ suggesting us to take the info with a heap of salt, we have two reasons to believe this might be true. First, the company is already working on the next One UI 3.1 and will likely debut it with the S21 series. Hence, it might look to roll out the 3.0 version to its 2020 flagships as soon as possible before the event to gain the goodwill.

Additionally, a report on the alleged One UI 3.0 schedule for Egypt reveals that Note 20 update timeline is around January 2021. But, we feel Samsung might pull the trigger for all regions earlier. That is, considering the speed at which it is addressing the Beta updates, and has got to a point of releasing the stable version even sooner.

For instance, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Tab S7 series with One UI 2.5 out of the box. However, the company pushed the update for the older Galaxy S20 series on the first-day sale of Note 20. Anyway, these are our early speculations, and hence, let’s wait for a bit to see what Samsung does.

Samsung confirmed the OneUI 3.0 Beta based on Android 11 back at the event on August 5. The Public beta program began after the initial developer build and has extended to a lot of flagships including the Galaxy S10 series from 2019. You can check out our coverage to know about the features of the UI.

The Galaxy S20 FE is the most affordable Galaxy S series smartphone released this year. It features all the core features of its expensive siblings with some minor shortcomings allowing Samsung to sell it for a cheaper price. Unfortunately, certain early adopters began to face display touch issues. But now, the South Koream tech giant has fixed it via a software update.

Last week, we reported that a few sets of Galaxy S20 FE users were experiencing issues related to touch input on their unit. The problems faced by users included ghost touches, inability to difference between tap and gesture, and not responding to touch at all.

Now, according to SamMobile, Samsung is rolling out a new software build for this device worldwide fixing the issues related to the display. The update is available for both 4G Exynos 990 version (SM-G780F) and 5G Snapdragon 865 version (SM-G781B) of the handset.

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.

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.

The Galaxy S20 FE is set to arrive next week. The new member of the S20 family will arrive in both 4G and 5G variants. If you are wondering how much the 4G variant will cost, a European network operator has put up a listing that reveals the price of the device.

According to a listing that has now been pulled down by Orange Slovakia, the Galaxy S20 FE will retail for €699. The listing says the phone has a 6.5-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display, triple rear cameras, and a 4500mAh battery. It also says the phone has 6GB of RAM, runs Android 10, and has dual SIM support. However, it doesn’t mention the processor.

The listing seems to be inaccurate in some areas such as the display which has been reported to be a 1080p panel and not a 1440p one. They also didn’t use product images gotten from Samsung but those that were leaked by Evan Blass. As you can see in the image above, the leaker’s watermark can be seen on the photo of the device.

We know almost everything about it including its design. Now, a new leak exposes this device entirely leaving nothing except for its price.

The new leak regarding Samsung Galaxy S20 FE comes from Roland Quandt of WinFuture. According to him, the phone will come in Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990 versions. The former will be marketed as Galaxy S20 FE 5G in regions like Europe and the latter with LTE will be sold as simply Galaxy S20 FE. The branding of the two models was first confirmed last week.

For instance, the “Navy Blue” version could be limited to the 5G variant.

The material used on the device’s back is unknown but the handset will support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Anyway, it should be mostly plastic like the regular Galaxy Note20. But since the leakster mentions it to feature a metal frame, the rear panel could be glass after all.

The back of the phone will house a triple camera setup consisting of a 12MP primary sensor with OIS, another 12MP sensor with 123° ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP with 3x telephoto lens and OIS. Further, the handset will include all the important sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic sensor, hall sensor, light sensor, and proximity sensor.

Samsung is reported to start shipping Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) aka Galaxy S20 Lite in October. But ahead of it, the handset had already leaked in 3D CAD renders and official press renders. Even some of its specs as well as price are out now. Adding to that, the firm itself now confirms the branding and variants of this handset on its official website.

Earlier this year, Samsung introduced Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite as the toned-down versions of its 2019 flagship smartphones. Hence, their successors were thought to have a similar marketing name. But the reports, as well as leaks, have been saying otherwise and now, that turns out to be true.

According to YouTube Premium promo page (via SamMobile) on Samsung Bulgaria website, the toned-down Galaxy S20 series smartphone will be officially marketed as “Galaxy S20 FE”. Also, the page confirms this phone to arrive in two variants – 4G and 5G just like other Galaxy flagship smartphones released this year.

For those unaware, Galaxy S10 Lite only comes in a single 4G variant powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 in all the regions. Hence, its successor has been one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2020. But now, it seems like there could be an Exynos 990 version of this device going by the existence of “Galaxy S20 FE” and “Galaxy S20 FE 5G”.

Anyway, according to previous leaks and reports, the Galaxy S20 FE will feature Snapdragon 865, 3.3mm punch-hole, 120Hz refresh rate, IP68 certification,  12MP (primary) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (3x telephoto) triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, six colors and ~$750 price tag.

Rumors have it that the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition will go official in Q4 2020 as the successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite that went official at the beginning of this year. There is a possibility that it may get an early Q4 launch as recent leaks have revealed almost a lot of information about the Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition). At the beginning of this month, reputed tipster Evan Blass shared a front render of the Galaxy S20 FE. Last week, popular leakster OnLeaks shared the CAD renders of the phone. Now, Blass is back with a new image of the phone. The image gives a good look at the color variants of the Galaxy S20 FE.

As can be seen in the image, the Galaxy S20 FE will possibly come in vibrant colors like dark blue/prism blue, red, peach, white, mint, and light violet. The official names of the color variants are not known yet.

As far as design is concerned, the front side of the Galaxy S20 FE looks a lot similar to the Galaxy S20 series thanks to Infinity-O punch-hole display design. Pricebaba that had exclusively carried the CAD renders of the Galaxy S20 FE had claimed that the phone could be sporting a frosted/matte plastic.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Specifications (Rumored)

The Galaxy S20 FE reportedly measures 161 x 73 x 8mm and houses a 6.4-inch or 6.5-inch S-AMOLED display. The display is rumored to support 120Hz refresh rate. The rear-facing triple camera system of the phone may feature a Sony IMX555 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom. For selfies, it may feature a 32-megapixel front camera. The device could be housing a 4,500mAh battery.

The Snapdragon 865 mobile platform may power the phone with 6 GB of RAM. It may come with 128 GB native storage and a dedicated microSD card slot. It is expected to arrive in Exynos 990 chipset version in India. The One UI 2.5 Android 10 OS is expected to come preinstalled on the smartphone. It is expected to sport an IP68 rated chassis.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is a new smartphone in development from Samsung that is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of the year. High resolution renders of the phone, which will be a more affordable version of the Galaxy S20, have leaked along with some key details. These renders give us a first look at the smartphone.

You should already know by now that the source is from none other than Steve Hemmerstoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks, and he has partnered with Pricebaba for this one.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G will have a flat display just as the standard edition Galaxy S20. It is an AMOLED panel with a centered punch hole but not the slimmest bezels. It has been reported that the phone has a metal frame that has a chrome-like finish as seen in the images.

For the back, Samsung is going for plastic with a matte/frosted finish which should mean fingerprint smudges won’t be visible. We are not sure if this mint green/light cyan color is one of the colorways that will be available but it does look really good.

There are three rear cameras on the phone and they are housed together with the LED flash. Popular leaker, Ice Universe revealed last month that the main camera is a 12MP Sony IMX555 sensor and not the ISOCELL GN1. The other sensors are likely to be a 12MP ultrawide angle camera and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Just like the Galaxy S20, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G will not have an audio jack. The bottom is home to a USB-C flanked on one side by the speaker grille while the top of the phone is where the SIM tray sits. On the right side of the phone are the power button and volume rocker.

Other unconfirmed specs include a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 865 processor (an Exynos variant was seen on Geekbench a few days ago), an IP68 water-resistant rating, and a 4500mAh battery capacity with support for fast charging.

It has also been reported that the phone will sell for as high as $750 with a release in October. There is also news of a 4G version with a lower price tag.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) has been rumored for a while now. So far, various rumors and leaks have discussed the internals and specifications (1,2,3,4) of the device, but now, a new render has revealed the front half of the upcoming smartphone.

According to a new image that was recently shared online by Evan Blass (@evleaks), the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE can be seen with a punch hole display on the front. The camera is aligned in the top middle of the handset, while the display covers most of the front surface of the device. Minimal bezels can be observed on the sides, with a negligible chin and notch as well.

On the right of the device, the power button and volume rockers can be found while the left seems to be devoid of any buttons. Unfortunately, this is all we have to go on for now and we would have to wait for a new leak or an official Samsung announcement to provide any more details. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is expected to be the successor of the Galaxy S10 Lite, but with new branding. So maybe the company has more in store for us in the newer generation.

Samsung is reported to launch Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE), formerly known as Galaxy S20 Lite as the successor to Galaxy S10 Lite in October. The smartphone has leaked multiple times over the past few days revealing its features. A new report from South Korean now suggests it to retails for around $750 with triple camera setup.

Due to the poor sales of Galaxy S20 series on account of pandemic and increased cost, Samsung is reported to launch the cheaper Galaxy S20 FE much earlier than its successor. This handset is expected to start shipping in October after Galaxy Note 20 in August and Galaxy Z Fold 2 in September.

According to a new report by South Korean media The Elec (via SamMobile), the upcoming Galaxy S20 FE will feature a  12MP (primary) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (3x telephoto) triple camera setup at the back. Whereas, on the front, the phone is said to sport a 32MP selfie camera.

Further, the report suggests the price of the device to be 900,000 South Korean Won, which is equivalent to $750. For those unaware, this phone’s predecessor, the Galaxy S10 Lite debuted for $100 cheaper at $650. Samsung is expected to ship 5 million units of this handset by the end of 2020.

The $100 prince increase from the previous phone seems more on first sight. But considering the Galaxy S20 FE (based on leaks) to come with IP68 certification, 120Hz refresh rate display, 3.3mm punch-hole, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, it is still a stellar deal.

He also says that the punch-hole on this phone will be only 3.3mm in size. Above all, it will be also IP68-certified for dust and water resistance. As per him, the handset will launch in Q4 at an attractive price, which goes in line with a report that revealed Samsung to ship it in October.

Apart from this new leak, the Galaxy S20 FE/Lite was also spotted on Geekbench earlier this week powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, the processor that Ice Universe also notes in his tweet. It is also expected to feature the new 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN1 camera sensor.
