I did notice the double tap feature is back and for me that is important. I tried multiple launchers but with a samsung theme installed and original launcher seems to respond the best for me. All other features of the phone seem to work well. So i guess i love the phone now that I made some changes that suit me.

My only crit of this device is complete lack of custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] zetsui:
any developers developing it?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] b1k3rdude:
Afaik there arent any ROM devs for this device on the XDA forum, but there might be somewhere else on the net. But I tend to only trust mod's, roms, kernals, recoveries etc that are released on this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] zetsui:
i would put $25 to any dev who could dev it, you guys should put u a price here too so they see it

im a software engineer, wonder if i could do it as a weekend project

WORST PURCHASE I EVER MADE..

Phone is great but after 3 days (and right after a software update) it's giving me a moisture warning.. and I never put it in water.. It doesn't let me charge and I won't buy a wireless charger. I will ditch it ASAP.

Good speed, but not as fast as the regular S20. I don't do any heavy gaming, but some apps open slightly slower with the FE. Reduced RAM?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] yap_rony:
Just bought it and quite disappointed with its battery and speed
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] MHBGT:
Using a Dual-SIM Exynos FE 6/128: G780F/DS.

Speed is great so far, but this is my first modern "flagship" phone though, so can't really compare it to anything.

Screen on time is not great though. 4.5 hours after a week of use.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] nash211:
I have no issues thus far with speed
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] _jis_:
Do you have Exynos or Snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] AmyTheBun:
very slow. I'm so disappointed. my note 10 was faster. despite the 120hz (which feels incredible) the inconsistency gives me literal actual nausea. the frame rate stays at 120hz for 0.2-0.5s at first during scrolling then drops down to 30-20fps... when I set it to 60hz it's obviously slower but i prefer it because it just feels more consistent. it's nicer on the eyes.. very sad and dissapointing.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] AmyTheBun:
It's 5g so I think it's snapdragon. My brother was the one who actually got it and said it but the package doesn't say 5g. The model number is G870f/ds. And had 128gb of storage and 8gb of ram

The major horrible lag went away after letting the phone sit on the table for some time. It was very new at the time. It still lags but it's usable now. It has the good old samsung/xiaomi (I never used a non samsung/xiaomi android phone since other phones are not available here) stuttering. When I scroll there's like 3-4 frames that daty stuck for 200-100ms. It's very noticable but nothing like the mess it was at first (I had literal nausea using it)

Is the snapdragon that much better really btw?

Overall the smoothness is nowhere near a 3 year old iphone x with 80% battery health (my brother uses his a ton.) But the higher refresh rate is sooo nice. It's hard to say which I prefer but the iphone feels better honestly

It's just sad to see a great 120hz panel ruined slightly by bad software
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] _jis_:
Yes.

If you've just installed all the apps you're using on your new phone, of course it's going to take a few hours to days for everything to settle down, as well as a few other restarts. Then it only makes sense to comment on his behavior.

Installing everything you had on your previous phone at the same time is not the best course of action. By gradually adding one application at a time, you can more easily detect one that has a serious problem, for example, with the A11, or with the phone itself.

However, if you are lagging without installing other apps, something is completely wrong.

Yes.

Strange. For me, my new Samsung (Snapdragon 865, 6/128GB) is the smoothest phone I've ever had. My previous phone was Asus ZenFone 6 (Snapdragon 855, 6/128GB).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] AmyTheBun:
I'm not sure what you mean by plugging but I installed cpu z and it's actually exynos :(( it's been a day and a restart yesterday and honestly still. It lags but it's usable. I'll upload a video on youtube. If you're interested reply so I'll get a notification about it (it's gonna take a bit to upload)

Have you ever used a new iphone? Iphone x or newer. My iphone X was sooo smooth in comparison. Not to mention the far lower latency (input delay.) Overall the phone felt nicer on my eyes and brain to use despite the 60hz. But it wasn't as "fluid" as this one. But the consistency made up for it. And not to mention the thoughtful detailed animations that follow your fingers acceleration and speed etc.

I've been spoiled by an iphone x before and I'm quite sensitive to stutter tbh!

EDIT:

this is the s20 fe. now that I see it in slow motion it's embarrassingly awful. I'm uploading a slow motion of proper 120hz without stutter too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] _jis_:
> I installed cpu z and it's actually exynos

Then this wasn't true and you only have the 4G version (SM-G780F):

> It's 5g so I think it's snapdragon

> The model number is G870f/ds
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] AmyTheBun:
Yeah sadly the person at the store either made a mistake or lied to my brother. I wasn't there to confirm

But the video I attached shows the issues. It's outright embarrassing that samsung is this bad still. It takes actual skill to make such a fast processor this slow.

If you check my channel you can see what proper 120hz looks like in comparison. I was too lazy to attach the videos
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] 3mel:
activate your developer options @AmyTheBun by going to settings / about phone / software ...and tap on the build number 7 times in a row. this gives you an extra menu called developer options. inside that, near the top you'll see running services.

click running services after the phones has become slow and see what's using CPU and ram.

your phone performance is not normal. if it's not something like an old out of date app causing problems I'd take that phone back for a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] AmyTheBun:
smart pass was on the top. nothing special was using too many resources.

the video was in slow-motion btw.

oh and mine is exynos... we have no other choice where I live. not even a single snapdragon model!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] juandante:
I had the 5g version of the fe, it was complete **** so much it was slow. I instantly sold it back. Lots of stuttering, my old s9 was feeling faster (in Android). I then tried the 4g version of the s20 fe (exynos) and was surprised by how snappy it was. The menus where opening quickly, swaping between apps was a breeze. I was impressed.

So there sure is a rat under the carpet with Samsung, maybe software problems, maybe cpu/hardware/chipset problems, maybe both.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] qduaty:
I have the 5G/Snapdragon version (recent firmware) and it's fast enough. The 120 Hz screen is smooth, all apps running smoothly including those with heavy JS graphics, which were garbage on my previous phone, A6.

Used night mode in my back yard. When the same scene is compared to an iPhone 11, the S20 FE came out a little more yellow. HOWEVER, it did an amazing job at taking pics of stars. IDK if that saves it. The important part was that it captured the detail. The yellow can be edited out.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Gray44:
When compared to the regular S20 I noticed photos are often overexposed, so it loses detail in the white parts of the photo.

I noticed this in every photo comparison review.

I guess it's just a software thing, but Samsung needs to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Mografik:
Yeah, that seems to be a Samsung trait. It's really annoying. I'm looking to get a new phone, and Samsung have some great specced phones, but their photo processing steers me away. I gave up n my S10+ because of it, and went back to my pixel 3
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Gray44:
Here's another comparison with the pixel 5, almost all photos and videos looks (imho) way better on the pixel 5.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqAaofYe9a4

Google builds a cheaper phone with cheaper hardware including lenses and yet, the results are better.

Samsung really needs to step up a notch!

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] robi10101298:
The worse thing that you can do it's to switch from a p30 pro which it's the camera killer to this Samsung that it's having awful photo quality... You didn't show us some comparisons between this 2 devices.. You'll be surprised that p30 pro it's still a flagship killer :) Also, the zoom on the p30 remains a king(p40 it's out of the discussion because of the lack of google service)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] qbcgraphics:
i am and have been a huge Huawei P30 Pro fan but i am not sure if your statement is correct...

Sure yes, that P30 Pro is a real killer but the s20 fe is really very good too! The pictures can't really be compared - sometimes the P30 Pro wins and sometimes and yet sometimes more often the S20 fe wins.

but it always depends on your own preferences, i agree with you. i am currently very enthusiastic about the s20 fe. :cool::o
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Youdoofus:
ive had mine for a bit over a month now and im quite impressed with it
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] BaconTrousers:
Well I've got my old P20 Pro here, a 5G S20 FE and a Mi 10T Pro and guess which one still 'subjectively' takes far clearer and defined - if a little overly processed - pictures? Yeah it's the one released in March 2018 ;)

According to GSMarena the P30 Pro uses the same main sensor which is pretty abysmal for low light videoing so that is why I have avoided it. Oh and the low light recording is pretty terrible (on par with my P20 Pro) but is absolutely outstanding on the Mi10 Pro (pictures are pretty average though even with that big sensor)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] nash211:
I have taken a few pictures, quality seems OK, maybe change some settings to get the wow factor
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] roymar:
The pictures are very nice. I came from a mi9 with a 48mp cam but the 12mp of the Samsung gives at least the same quality and even better because of the ois
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] tomzzi:
That's strange. I came from Mi 9 also and while there is more detail on photos took on S20 there is also more noise and colors are bit strange, unnatural. Colors on Mi 9 are much more realistic.

Also a lot of times I do get grainy photos with a lot of noise on S20 FE.

Pretty bad. I have exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] Tomar777:
After 40 days of use,

Coming from a Pixel 3a, im disappointed from the main camera, specially at night.

Exynos version, i get oversaturated yellows and oranges (with the AI enhance off), generally saturation is up giving unnatural colors and at low light:

1) it takes 1,5-4 sec for a photo, so forget any moving objects

2) Phone actually "freezes" while processing the nightshot, instead of doing the post-processing in the background, takes 2-5 sec to finish.

3) The depth of field is not that great.

4) I need to bring down exposure all the time, or my highlights are usually blown.

Tele 3X is just ok, ultrwide, i have seen better distortion correction, both have same saturation thing as above.

hello im newbie here...anybody can help me in my X01HT..i follow this but still simlock??:

1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it

2. Tri color screen will appear

3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")

4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.

5. run RUU/RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe

6. follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)

7. Allow your phone to reboot.

8. Transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe program to your phone and run it

9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.

10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.

11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.

Perhaps next minute will be so positive to me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tonidekohlanta:
It's my Softbank night...

To see the phone version : remove your battery, look a the date on the sticker (me : august 07). If your phone is after April 07, you cannot unlock it if you let the update run the first time you turned the phone on. If your phone is after august 07, like me, I think the update is already installed at the factory : you're ****ed.

But you still can unlock with imei-check, and yes it costs money.

I supposed the phone you unlocked was before April 07, and the 3 phone of your friend are post april 07, and it already turned it on. Sorry for you...

Good luck with that, and above all, **** Softbank.

Hei everyone,

interested in S20 FE (4G only available) for videography aspect.

Have anyone used Filmic Pro or Mcpro24fps with FE version? Is the video quality better than native camera app?

Other sensors are available or locked (ultrawide/ tele)?

How about it's stability with filming via 3rd party apps?

Thanks for the comments in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review] BaconTrousers:
Low light 1080p 60fps & 4K 60fps blows on the 5g SD865 version which is all I can tell you right now. Focus shimmer when walking is horrendous in low light but will most likely be good in daylight. Oh and the 108mp sensor on the Mi 10T Pro kills this at the same video resolutions but there is no telephoto, OLED or Wireless charging.
