Now the galaxy s20 fv is a kind of sort of spiritual successor to that phone so do you still get the s20 flagship experience here or has Samsung cut one corner too many to hit that price point. the elephant of the room the back it's plastic now we've all heard that plastic on a flagship is bad but this is not a one lakh rupee flagship it comes in at a lower price point and before i even get started with this let's actually take a look at what all samsung is actually offering with the s20 fe first the internals this phone is powered by samsung's flagship exynos 990 now would i have preferred the 865 probably but this is still a flagship soc it runs everything smoothly we've got the latest samsung one ui 2.5 in here right from the super fluid refresh rate to nox decks wireless decks even full-fledged samsung pay everything is present and accounted for here samsung doesn't seem to have cut any functionality in fact despite having a plastic back there's support for 15 watt fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging as well  so if you have a pair of samsung budge plus or  buns life you can actually top it up with the s20 fe the display is super fluid like i said it's 120 hertz but the resolution it's kept at full hd now even with the top flagships the galaxy s20 ultra the galaxy note 20 ultra we get to choose between 4k 60 or 120 full hd so me personally when i was using all these phones i still ended up choosing 120 hertz at full hd plus because i felt that offered a better experience you could get the smoothness you get you get to feel the smoothness now with this phone the choice is kind of made for us already because it's only full hd 120 hertz that's it this 6.5 inch panel it's typical amoled it's got punchy colors it's quite vibrant the viewing angles are good too it's hdr10 capable and covered by corning's gorilla glass 3 which is a few generations old compared to vectors that's on the note 20 ultra so that is a tiny little corner cut moving on the punch hole here it is the smallest samsung's ever offered now while we are talking about this punch hole it's a tiny little punch hole right but at times like say for example when you're using face unlock  the area around this punch hole also gets blacked out so it appears to be a larger punch hole at that point and this kind of kept triggering my ocd now i understand i understand this is a minor cosmetic bug at best so i am nitpicking but hey it's something i thought was worth mentioning in the video the combination of this 120 hertz panel and the latest exynos 990 chip means the s20 fe is great at performance it's able to game pretty well now especially with games that support higher refresh rates the s20 fe managed to run them beautifully the audio output via the stereo speakers and yes stereo speakers are retained these are some of the richest and fullest sounding speakers i've come across so that also adds to the experience and now given that this is a fan edition it does miss out on one fan favorite feature the headphone jack. other features also presenters ip68 water and dust resistance there's micro sd there's a solid 4 500 milliamp-hour battery and hey the phone ships with a charger just saying now that is a caveat here the charger included in the box is 15 watts through the s20 fe just like other s20 phones and no 20 phones have support for 25 watts charging now I would have preferred to see Samsung include a 25-watt charger here because phones price cheaper than this mid-rangers Samsung have been including 24-watt chargers with them so it would have been a little better.

If they did it with this phone as well but right now if you want 25 watts you're gonna have to purchase that separately inbox it's 15 watts with battery with my kind of usage which involves about an hour of youtube a little bit of gaming a lot of camera usage a lot of i mean constantly checking social media 30 minutes to an hour of calls with this kind of usage i still end my day with about 20 left in the tank and do know that i left the display at 120 hertz throughout my testing because i feel you're buying a phone with a 120 hertz panel you're probably going to use it with a 120 hertz panel that said if you do switch to 60 hertz you should probably get a little more out of this battery next the cameras there's no 64 megapixel zoom or 108 megapixel primary here but what we have is a very competent 12 megapixel f 1.8 primary the lens here is optically stabilized then we have an 8 megapixel telephoto again with ois and finally there's an ultraviolet samsung says triple cameras and we actually get three cameras that we can use and they've not really added a depth sensor or a monochrome sensor or a macro sensor just to pad up the numbers the camera performance as you can see it's typical samsung images are brewing with detail they have nice punchy colors i really like the pictures this camera took just look at the dynamic range here how blue the skies are the ultrawide offers more of the same with telephoto it's 3x optical zoom but at up to 10x the results are usable you can go all the way up to 30x  but hey that's just digital zoom you're not going to get great results with that low light is where i expected to see a major compromise but no the performance as you guys can see it's still pretty much flagship-esque samsung offers a full-fledged pro mode and it's even available for video by the way there's no 8k 24 fps but 4k 60 i present and the footage is quite excellent very fast autofocus due to the dual pixel technology at play the selfie camera it's 32 megapixels fixed focus but for stilts like this and even 4k selfie videos it does a good job this is 4k 60 fps by the way so these are all what samsung has to offer with the galaxy s20 fe now coming back to the original topic the build okay enough given that all this flagship functional functionality is included and the frame is metal add to it the fact that this back yes it's plastic but it doesn't feel cheap the mat the matte plastic actually feels nice in hand and it's also it's also helps samsung keep the weight low so taking all these into account i would say the back the plastic build is not that much of a negative here especially compared to some of the glossy glastic builds i find this better and it's definitely better than plastic so hey build would  one lakh rupee phone most definitely no but at this price point i find it acceptable so the galaxy s20 fe turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me samsung seems to have delivered exactly what they promised a galaxy s20 experience at a lower price point now yes well a few corners needed to be cut to hit that price point overall the user experience it has still remained flagship-esque samsung's done quite a good job here so if you wanted a flagship experience a samsung flagship experience under the 50, 000 rupee price point then this is the way to go the galaxy s20 fe is a wonderful phone and samsung's done a very good job here.
