The FE is carving out a new kind of Galaxy device. Ones that are meeting favourable features with sliced pricing.

The FE is designed in ways you’d expect something with an S20 badge to hold up. Solid in the hand, premium finish and seamless curves. What’s not to like here? In ways, the soft matte finish at the back reminds us of the OnePlus 6T Silky White variant. It lets you grip the phone fearlessly and even feels so, dare we say, perfect on the skin. We like holding it, I wish Samsung put this on all their devices.

Thin black borders running around the edge to pull you into its AMOLED FullHD+ display. It’s crisp and bright. Standard practice for Samsung displays but the best thing is, it’s also rocking 120Hz refresh rate. Scrolling through Instagram and articles on Stuff website is smooth, to say the least.

You can now capture Night mode shots on all three lenses, something that is not possible on many devices. So if you’re looking to cram all of your buddies in one shot in a poorly-lit environment, you can jump into ultra-wide on Night mode and do it.

Galaxy S20 FE’s biggest achievement is the details and colour temperature it maintains. Every shot is crisp and social media-ready. If you’re in an evenly lit environment or outdoors, the colour and contrast between the three lenses are near identical which is a rare feat in smartphones with multiple lenses.
