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.

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.

In what way do you think the upcoming Galaxy S20 FE will differ from the already available variants? Do let us know in the comment section below.
