as far as I know you can not go back after updating to 13
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] adek89:
maybe, if the final digit matches, apparently, I can't update the phone like others, so I can safely jump between versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] srosner:
here's another screenshot from today, still pretty bad

android 13 S20 FE 5G snapdragon

I'm starting to think I should do factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] zawada124:
Can You give feedback after factory reset? I got this phone only few weeks, and updated it straight to android 13, and battery live is terrible. I have 2,5-3h of SOT max. According to Accubattery it uses on average 17,2% per hour with screen on and 2,6% per hour with screen off. I can bearly make it threw a day, even if I dont use it that match. I got AOD and 120HZ on, and most of the time I'm using wifi. Do You have some data how much energy it consumed per hour with screen off on previous updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] srosner:
@zawada124

I don't have exact data on screen off time, but I tend to get ~2% drop per night (something like 8 hrs) with screen off and airplane mode. with network and wi-fi I assume it will be ~5% per 8 hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] srosner:
Just to update, I did full factory reset and installed everything fresh.

I see very minor improvement ~5-6 hrs SOT, still not amazing in any way.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] alirezaabp:
S20 Fe 5g ( india model) bought 1 month ago ( 2022 version )

I got almost 9 hours

Impressive!!

- Wifi and 4g Mixed

- Turned off auto brightness (as i read an article about which said that turning auto brightness on will drain battery more)

- dark mode after 6 p.m

- refresh rate at120 hz ( but i set routines to cap the fps at 60 in youtube and instagram since it doesn't matter in those apps )

- i also set routines to turn on power saving mode below 25% battery

- AOD tap to show
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] adek89:
which system version? and what software version
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] alirezaabp:
btw i updated to the latest version yesterday

but the update size was something about 70 mb so i dont think anything changes about the way the battery performs

and also note that i bought the 2022 version of S20 Fe 5g

And on the box it says manufactured in 2022

So it means my battery health is going to be way better than the 2020 version of which y'all have.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] adek89:
interesting, in Poland we don't have production dates on the box and you have to check the name and I also have it from that period, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] srosner:
@alirezaabp

9 hrs SOT is really amazing.

even though it's only YouTube and Insta which does not seem to stress the phone too much, but still very nice.

I don't think they are still manufacturing the S20 FE, so I would be skeptical about the date on your box.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] alirezaabp:
There actually is a 2022 version of s20 fe 5g

If you search for it in gsmarena site

Here, i leave a link to the specific model

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 2022 - Full phone specifications

www.gsmarena.com

And there is a bunch of comments(reviews) about it

Which proves that the model "kinda" exist.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] alirezaabp:
Btw i think the best choice for me was this phone

Since the 5G version of s20 fe is using snapdragon chipset worldwide(i live in iran) so i thought i will have the benefit of using a snapdragon chipset over the samsung's trash exynos.

I actually never thought i would go for s20 fe 5g

I was looking for a good condition used s10+ or at least a regular s20

Because i really liked the design of those specific phones, specially for the curved edges which gives you an "infinity display" feel

(And yes i couldn't afford better phones than these, since phones are too damn expensive in my country)

I remember a shop owner telling me about the s20 fe 5g and the benefits of buying it over s10

120hz - larger battery - longer suppoerted os - better chipset and litteraly better "every thing"

So i changed my mind and went to buy s20 fe 5g which was pretty damn hard because i couldn't find a 5G version that it's price would fit my pocket

And i finally found a shop which the owner told me he had the 5g version for a low price

And i couldm't wait anymore and bought is right away

And it is litteraly the best variant of s20fe, it was 5G, it had 8g ram and it was manufactured in 2022

So here i am using the only snapdragon samsung that anybody can buy in our country!

And man the snapdragon is really something! i had my hands on both s20 and s10+ and because those were using exynos, i am really feeling the diffrence in battery, camera, performance, device temperature and so on.

The only thing i really dont like about this phone tho is the weight, the size and the overall design like kinda thicc bezels

But in the end im so happy with my choice!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Huy Luong Gia:
How can you do that. My s20Fe(Snapdragon) almost 6h onscreen
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] mezacorleehone:
1.Brightness : 60%

2.wifi active

3.bluetooth

4.no gps

5. Data a couple of minutes a day.

6.Android 13 One UI 5.1.

7.bandit kernel(gpu 670mhz)

No battery saving modification.

the screen always at 120hz.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Fatalise:
S20 FE battery life is very dependent on cellular data. If you use wifi most of the day, your SOT will be most likely amazing. Unfortunately if you use data, or live in area with bad reception your SOT will just be horrible.

Following pictures are the same phone doing benchmark on wifi, the second is real day using the phone, with 60Hz and really light use
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Fatalise:
As you can see, the SOC (Exynos) is actually ok, but the modem (Exynos Modem 5123) is horrible. It's also used in pixel 6 I believe

Im testing still (today is the first full day with It)...

...but It seem than It consums several battery in sleep mode.

This night at 3 am It had 100%. At 7:00 am I waked and It had 92%.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] chowdarygm:
I am seeing unusual battery drain with my snapdragon version. 16% in 9 hours is way too much. My S20 plus never used to do that. I also give samsung phones time to settle down with battery usage and it's been 1 week since I got it, so it should have been pretty settled by now.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] anubis2048:
Yeah, I got my FE 5G a couple of weeks ago and the IDLE battery drain is a bit much... Also, anyone else experiencing a lot of battery drain when in 120hz mode? The reviewers said that it was minimal, but I found at least a 2 hour increase in battery life when I set it back to 60hz...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] katanel:
Hello, I've like 3-4% max overnight in a area with 1-2 out 5 GSM signal strength

Try to put it in Airplane mode and see the consumption in the morning - you should have max 1%

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

So far I have: 4h40 SOT on 120 hz and 6h20 SOT on 60 Hz - down to 15%, dark mode, WIFI only, Location On, Battery in Optimized mode

As battery drain per hour GSAM Battery shows me 2-3%

I had 5-6% on S20 Plus Exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] jclu52:
I have mine for several months. First time Samsung user and not a heavy user. I go by the 80% rule, charge to 80% whenever I can using GSM Battery Monitor / AccuBattery. Overnight, battery will drop from 74% to 60% or less. I thought there is something wrong with my phone. I checked battery usage from time to time, system and Android uses upwards to 25%~30% over 8 hour period. This is regardless if I have cell on or in Airplane mode or WiFi off / on.

After reading your comments, I realized it's something that Samsung has done to make it consume more battery than necessary. I am not sure what I would do next. But I am done with Samsung.

Anyone tested out the radio yet?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hajii1:
I installed it, stopped customization and then ran my dcd carrier cab.

So far so good, seems to be pretty responsive. For me its more responsive then some recent custom roms I've ran. No issues with the calls or with data. I'll report if anything comes up.

Yes. I just let 'er rip. Lost a lot of cool utilities but well worth the pain of finding them again. GPS lox in seconds. Indoors! It's a beautiful thing. No more waiting 10 minutes for GPS. No worries about upgrading from a non-Bell rom, either.

official bell 6.1 update

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have a new Alltell Touch, I lost my old modded one as far as Alltel is concerned. I downloaded the new Bell rom because i want the upgraded radio. I unlocked my phone using Cokeman's unlocker and tried to flash to the Bell rom. It gets to 31% and stops and will not go any further, when I retry it gives me an "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I am able to reflash back to the original Alltel rom with no problem. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I'm not new to this and I'm getting my arse handed to me by this phone, lol.

Cal lme crazy but I MUCH prefer plastic over glass. I love the plastic back. the matte finish is amazing. it doesn't break either.

it feels great in the hand, tho the front screen feels a little cheap due to the uneven bezels but eh.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] iBolski:
I just upgraded my dead S7 to the S20 FE 5G. Does it feel "different" from my S7? Yes. I've read some reviews (where even the reviewer gave it to his wife to hold without saying anything) where they said it feels "cheap". I do not feel that way at all. It doesn't feel "cheap" to me. To me, that feeling is subjective at best.

But overall, I'm very pleased with this device. Of course, coming from my S7 of 6+ years (which was getting very slow), the S20 feels so much faster and smoother. I'm sure the 120hz refresh helps, but so many of the other features this phone has just renewed my joy in having a smartphone again. The S7 turned into just another device that I had, but now, with the S20 (even though it's been almost 2 years since it was first released), has just made having a mobile phone fun again for me. And coming from an S7 (with the glass back, etc), this new phone does not feel "cheap" to me.

I'm not disparaging those that feel that way, but just makes me wonder if they're used to having high-end devices that many of us refuse to spend over $1K on a phone for. Again, coming from an S7 to this, I do not feel like I've taken a step down. And for the price ($600), I think this is a great deal. Sure, it's only slated to get one more OS upgrade to Android 13, but then, I made my S7 last for 6+ years, and that's how I am. I'm not the type that upgrades my device every 2 to 3 years. I use my devices until they die. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Pupet_Master:
I do miss a glass back, but out of all the plastic "premium" backs, this is the best in both feel and look.

It do make the phone lighter compared to glass though.

The screen touch feels fine, perfect sensitivity (a little too sensitive but just slight), the buttons have a nice feel and the aluminum frame is a nice touch.

All in all, nothing special (all phones with the same specs of material will feel the same) but out of the budget phones, this is the "premium" feel

As I was curious I decided to give Samsung another chance to see if they have gotten their **** together since the Touchwiz days. They haven't, they got even worse.

Bloatware to the heavens. Debloatlists exist, but do not remediate resulting broken UX (like dead context menus after removing Samsung bull**** clipboard services).

Dark patterns everywhere, starting with making the Galaxy Store the "root" of their app ecosystem. Can't be used (as in: view even available updates) without submitting a phone number (2FA) and private details via Samsung account, after that, they probably just collect your private info better.

OneUI itself is ****. Like the notification bar as font not following system UI font size and screen scaling settings, for god's sake.

Samsung apps are ****. The design of stock dialer, contacts and calculator are worse than Google's versions. Only the calendar is an improvement as far as I can tell.

Do not buy this garbage. Pick a Sony or iDevice over the infested hellhole that is the Samsung Android ecosystem.
