AnonD-940827, 24 Sep 2020Slow charging is no blessing on a very fast draining batter... moreNo one force you from using slow charging, I never said fast charging should be removed, there are plenty of peoples using it.
But what a huge number of peoples also do is charge overnight, in which fast charging is just wasted energy in form of heat and shorter battery life and being totally useless, same for someone who simply work on a desk and can use his phone while charging it, fast charging isn't an universally perfect solution, there are many scenario where slow charging is better.

Neither can I get the phone charged within a reasonable time when I'm awake nor can I stop the phone from being overcharged in the overnight option. Realme or Xiaomi provide charging which can help someone get over the option of overnight charging.

They are also slow when it comes to Android updates. The last to last update that Samsung pulled slowed down charging so much that even Jell-O moved faster. 15W of charging is fast for you maybe, not for everybody else. 25W was acceptable but not 15. Fast charging has to be 18 at least.

Fans were fed up of expensive Exynos chipsets with lower performances in comparison to their Snapdragon counterparts. Samsung knows that in order to survive in the tech market they have to keep Americans happy. The rest of the world can have the leftovers as they don't matter much. They are following Apple you see. Apple keeps their phones cheap for US but not for the rest of the world. The same goes for Samsung. Just when I thought that it might force me to sway towards it and away from OnePlus 8T, they pulled of a similar trick to confuse me.

            Hey guys! need help to choose;
            I can get S20+4G (exynos) for amount equal to USD 652.
            While the S20 FE is available for pre-order with free galaxy buds+ (worth USD 137 HERE).
            S20 FE 4G at USD 688 & S20 FE 5G at USD 744.
            All are 128+8GB variants.
            The SD865 in S20 FE 5G attracts me since its the only samsung to have it, after Fold2.
            But S20+ 4G is damn cheap right now ;)

                And regarding CPU they did a survey and majority of people dont even know what CPU their device has so i doubt one of the features they ask for is SD CPU

                  Most people complaining here won't buy it anyway.
                  They'll complain about every flagship and mid-range devices and always end up with crappy Xiaomi or Realme

                    One of the top 3 features voted for was display. That's why they decided to give the S20 FE a 120Hz screen. So did they make this poll only after the Note20 was released or something?

I almost always, overcharge my phone because I forget to turn it off and by the time I wake up it's long reached its full percentage

                            Let me guess. They are paid & act like a fan.

                              anotherphone, 24 Sep 2020Lmao What's there for the fans? No headphone jack N... moreRight? It's an insult to call it "Fan" Edition. Last time I checked people were applauding Samsung for sticking with a headphone jack on the S10. And look at the size, fans liked the relatively compact size of the S10 as well. It was a balance between normal and big.

                                Lmao
                                What's there for the fans?
                                No headphone jack
                                No sd card slot
                                Exynos processor (Snapdragon version unavailable in my country but I don't care for the 5G anyway)
                                Design is terrible. I don't care for the plastic back but every bezel has a different thickness. Are they blind or tasteless?And with all these CUTS in my country it still costs 670€

                                I hope it flops hard so they can get their sh together.

                                  It is the fans who got fed up with unreasonably priced exynos chip flagship phones and forced samsung to launch this one.

                                    Most likely my next phone. Waiting for good Black Friday / Christmas price dropping! (fingers crossing)
                                    Golden trio cameras (uw+w+tele), amoled display, fast performance, IP rating it's a plus, no 3,5 mm it's a down.
                                    Don't want 5G (don't have in Portugal yet) and don't care about Exynos / Snapdragon wars...
                                    Under 600 euros can't think of any other that I rather choose.

                                      Eevery samsung falgship device owner hating samsung for giving them exynos with same price of snapdragon. yet here samsung claiming he's listening to its fan/users... funny or or what? dont know.

                                        Yes, the fans have wished for gazillion devices using the beat 9611 chipset for 150-399 USD
