Here is what’s different about these two amazing smartphones by Samsung:
Galaxy S20 vs. Galaxy S20 FE: Design
Galaxy S20 has a premium feel with its glass body, while Galaxy S20 FE has a plastic back with aluminum sides. Moreover, Galaxy S20 FE has larger bezels than the S20.
As far as colors are concerned, you get more options with Galaxy S20 FE. It offers six gorgeous shades, while S20 only has 4 basic colors.
Moreover, both the Galaxy S20 5G and Galaxy S20 FE are IP68 rated for dust and water resistance.
Galaxy S20 vs. Galaxy S20 FE: Cameras
The primary difference between Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 FE lies in their cameras. Both smartphones come with a triple rear camera setup, but each one has different lenses.
As far as the Galaxy S20 is concerned, it has a 12MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens of 64MP. The telephoto lens also has a 3x optical zoom, while the Space Zoom can go up to 30x.
On the other hand, the Galaxy S20 FE has a 12MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a telephoto lens of 8MP with 3x optical zoom. Its Space Zoom also goes up to 30x.
However, Galaxy S20 FE takes the selfie-game one step further with its 32MP selfie camera, while S20 only has a 10MP selfie camera.
Galaxy S20 vs. Galaxy S20 FE: Performance
When it comes to performance, both smartphones have the same processor. However, Galaxy S20 FE lacks in terms of RAM as it only offers 6GB of RAM. On the other hand, S20 offers 12GB of RAM, making its performance much better than S20 FE.
Galaxy S20 vs. Galaxy S20 FE: Battery Life and Charging
In terms of battery, Galaxy S20 FE wins with its 4500 mAh battery against the S20’s 2000 mAh battery. However, it takes more time to charge, and S20 has won a number of battery tests, too.
Bottom Line
We cannot label Galaxy S20 FE or Galaxy S20 as the ultimate winner of this comparison because both have their pros and cons. Moreover, ultimately, it comes down to users’ preferences and requirements.
But if you choose the Samsung S20, you can get it at a reasonable price at Phone Daddy.

Major disappointment for me on the S20 FE that I just received… no headphone jack. Only had it for a week but may need to return it for that reason. I am unable to use wireless headphones, so no privacy listening for me and I am unable to use my Square reader for my business and they charge more to manually input the information. ☹️
