AnonD-1037771, 11 Mar 20231. Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to settings ... moreHow is that even physically possible tho? The display is a hardware component with a fixed display resolution, you can't just change the resolution of the hardware component.
Do you mean the internal rendering resolution?

But i also think small phones are for average small chinese and asian people,
Any regular european or african citizen needs always bigger phone for gigger hands to hold.
Also with bigger fingers typing on a such small screen is a real pain.
So bigger is always better.
Rest just need to get bigger pants with bigger pockets.

Swaraj , 11 Mar 2023A series has been here for a long time . Even earlier to c... moreA series as a premium device yes its from pre chinese devices, (A3, A5, A7 etc) but newer A series A10, A20 etc were specifically target chinese devices, Especially Huawei. From A10 to A90 Samsung used top Soc, and they Manage to take lot of Marketshare early 2019 before Huawei Ban, Europe Alone Samsung took 40% Marketshare.
After Huawei Ban in AX1 series Samsung downgrade almost all devices, untill now A series are just Mixed Bag, Some devices good, Some bad.

Oh man. Without the A7x and FE models, the price gap between the A54 and base S23 will be huge, unless the A54 becomes really really expensive for its segment.
But it is a sign as Samsung decides to keep selling the S22, something they have never done before. I do still wish for an FE though.

AnonD-1037771, 11 Mar 2023Thanks ! The phone came only with the charger in the box. I... moreThere's an Adaptor provided by Samsung to use 3.5mm headphones with the mobile phone, thus you can use any 3.5mm jack headphone with those adaptors, you're not limited to 1 earphone. But a lot of fake units exist, so be careful.
Using this adaptor with high quality earphones like Soundmagic E80 could do wonders to your sound experience.
I have an idea. Your phone has 15W wireless charging, you can charge it wirelessly, while listening to music at the same time.
Check this link, it confirms you can do it: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-connect-headphones-to-a-galaxy-device/ (Read 2nd para, it confirms)
Not all wireless chargers work so check before you buy.

Anonymous, 11 Mar 2023How do you change S20 FE resolution?1. Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to settings - about phone - software information - tap the build number 7 times: a toast message will tell you that you have unlocked developer settings .
2. Go back to settings - developer options (last one) and turn on USB debugging
3. Install ADB Tools on your computer (preferably with Linux, but Windows will work also)
4. Connect the phone to the computer using the cable and press allow if asked
5. Open terminal on PC and type :
adb shell wm resolution 1440x3200
To go back to default :
adb shell wm resolution 1080x2400
That's it!
To check type:
adb shell wm resolution
Optional: You can also change the DPI density the same way:
adb shell wm density 600
This will make everything look very small, so go back to settings - display and play with the font size.
There's only one disadvantage: no more 120Hz but frankly I don't care. Photos never looked better !
Now when I do a screenshot or screenrecord, the resolution is 1440x3200.

I've searched the whole internet: Samsung made sure to make any possible splitter (to use headphones and charger at the same time) incompatible with their phones 😢

This is sad, I'll be happy if they released the phone with the same specs as S21FE, only difference should be the chip, they should use 8+ gen 1

Also, might I suggest that you continue to use the 3.5mm DAC converter given by Samsung, others may reduce playback quality.
You're right about SD and 3.5 but, unfortunately, our voices go against a bunch of teenage customers who stand as fans for the brand for reasons unknown.

6.5 vs 6.1 doesn't seem much, but when you hold them in your hands, especially side by side, you'll choose the FE every time .
Only people with really small hands are going to choose the regular S.

I was one click away from buy the S21 FE 128/6GB. I've changed my mind in the last minute and got the S20 FE 5G 256/8GB. Totally worth it !
Pros:
- Snapdragon CPU vs Exynos oven (I'm from Europe)
- 256/8GB vs 128/6GB
- SD card slot!!!
- I've changed the display resolution from 1080x2400 to 1440x3200! No root needed ! Feels like a different phone !
Cons:
There's no 3.5mm jack! It's a NIGHTMARE having to wait for the phone to charge so I can use the headphones. Especially at night. I'll never use wireless headphones !
Bring back the SD card slot and the 3.5mm jack if you truly want the "Fans" to buy the next FE, with SnapDragon CPU.

Regular s23 too small and s23 plus and ultra too expensive.
S23 Fe would be perfect for 600-700 euros.

Anonymous, 11 Mar 2023They did release the A series though. A series has been here for a long time . Even earlier to chinese phones became mainstream in most countries. If you say f series in india was pointed at keeping chinese flood at bay , that would have been more appropriate. But s20fe felt (legit for first time) like samsung is nervous about all the chinese phones.

Best thing about FE models was the 3x telephoto camera.
Samsung should put this in cheaper mid range phones.

It's not that people don't want an FE, it is that Samsung is selling more and more junk : increasing prices, removing features, while keeping the same design.
