    Ibn Batuta, 22 Jun 2023How's s20fe doing?Mine is still functioning perfectly. I bought it about a month after it was released on T-Mobile.

      "You'd expect 8MP shots out of a 32MP Quad Bayer imager, but these end up being 10MP."
      " The telephoto cam is the other new bit on the Fan Edition. Weirdly enough, that too outputs 12MP images "
      " Additionally, how it manages to get 3840x2160px capture from a sensor that's nominally 3264x2448px, is a bit perplexing. "

      I think Samsung quickly packed S20's software blindly into the S20 FE, without regarding sensor differences or something. These are some funny errors indeed.

      Can anybody confirm if these odd resolutions have been solved with a firmware update?

          Jerick1996 , 08 Jun 2023Samsung phones suck. After an update 3 weeks ago, my phone ... moreI have the same problem and I agree that it's irritating. The culprit is the Emergency call button on the lock screen which, unfortunately, cannot be removed. The only remedy is to turn off "tap 2x to wake screen" gesture. You can also try to put the phone in your pocket with the screen facing outwards (so it doesn't touch your body).

            Anonymous, 25 Mar 2023My S20 FE 5G standby battery drain is 3% per hour, it'... moreWell it happened to me on my poco X2. But after doing some work of understanding the battery health, I got rid of it.

            Firstly avoid charging your phone's battery too soon. I mean don't charge until percentage reaches 20%.

            Secondly avoid frequent charge. If the battery is 35% , don't charge it , close down all the apps, turn the battery
            saver on and keep your phone for stanby for 10 minutes.

            Thirdly don't use your phone in hot environment. Sure it can survive few drops, splashes and dust but batteries in general doesn't like heat. If the phone gets too much warm to handle, try cooling it down.

            Fourthly don't charge more than 80% .
            Keep the ideal charging between 80 to 20% for better health also only use the charger came with the original box.

            Hope that will help

              Samsung phones suck. After an update 3 weeks ago, my phone will make emergency calls randomly. I removed the emergency call icon from my lock screen...still makes calls. I've had 911 operators call me back because the phone was in my pocket and I didn't realize it called. 5 minutes ago I'm hearing, "911 operator, what is your emergency?" coming from my phone in my pocket. Total BS, Samsung!

                Had the S20 FE for 2 months, it got bent somehow (even though i dont walk with it in my pocket, nor it seemed the have any damages) and stopped charging. The technical support declined helping and said it not under the guerntee anymore.
                Wouldn't recommend, never happened to me with any other phone , must be extremely delicate.

                  User, 16 Mar 2023NoWhy not? You facing any issues with the FE

                    I Priorities s20 Fe more then S21 Fe till now. (Just Ordered it, didn't get yet) Because
                    1) Dual SIM 5G slot (S20Fe)
                    2) As per past experience... Can't rely on Exynos over Snapdragon.
                    That's all what I looked for.....
                    But But...
                    S21 Fe is also not bad.....
                    1) More 5g band then s20 Fe
                    2) 5nm fabricated processor
                    3) +1 for body look

                    That was all for on paper record experience let's see next....

                        Suleyman , 30 Mar 2023I am using Samsung S20FE. I just bought. Do you think it&... moreOn paper S21 FE is better with longer software suport. But battery life is mediocre, because of SD 888 being power hungry.

                                Anonymous, 25 Mar 2023My S20 FE 5G standby battery drain is 3% per hour, it'... moreI had mine upgraded to Android 13 & UI 5.1 and nighttime battery drain is about 3-4% with WiFi and AOD on. You probably have a faulty unit, go to Samsung service center to get it checked.

                                  Jacek, 22 Oct 2022Two more things: 1. standby battery drain is 3% (7 hours... moreMy S20 FE 5G standby battery drain is 3% per hour, it's horrendous! It's 100% when I sleep at 10PM but drains to 76% when I wake up at 6AM! That's 24% drop in 8hrs when the phone screen is off, doing nothing (mobile data off, wifi off, bluetooth off, location off, AOD off, screen off). Samsung is INTENTIONALLY killing this phone with the latest OneUI updates that's draining the battery fast. I thought only Xiaomi phones do this battery drain manipulation as the phone gets older to force you to upgrade. Well now I'm certain all phone manufacturers do it. (iPhones included). Tried doing everything including factory reset and still the same. I have the Snapdragon 5G variant which is supposed to be battery efficient compared to the 4G Exynos. All phone manufacturers are greedy. They come up with battery killing updates when the phone model is old so you upgrade to a new one.
