I bought the S20FE a few weeks ago and started to notice I was getting a lot of hang ups. I assumed it was other callers dropping because of poor signal. Well it isn't. Its the virtual proximity sensor. On mine, it barely works. The phone stays active for at least several seconds when I put the phone to my ear. AND worse, if I move around, the screen will activate while the phone is at my ear. So its then easy to hit buttons, hang up, dial someone else, launch apps.... The camera and screen work well enough. But the fingerprint scanner is much worse than my S9, the gorilla glass is a step down from the S9 and this proximity sensor is just horrid. I traded in my S9 and I would gladly trade my s20FE back for my S9.

Hi, purchased S20 FE last week in India. The exynos version has massive battery issues. Standby drain is surprisingly high. I have been using Androids for over 8 years, so used all tips to save battery (power saving, lower screen refresh rate, low brightness, location and bluetooth off, scanning off etc) but does not seem to make much difference, as compared to my previous phone- Galaxy Note 9. Anyone else facing this issue?

hi there, need help:
1. 'S20 FE 5G' vs 'A71 5G'?
2. FE got the main camera 12MP only? How good it could be?
p.s. Current phone: S7 Edge

I've never heard any specific issues of in screen fingerprint scanners that doesn't work due to tempered glass screen protectors. I mean, even if there were some that blocked the in display fingerprint scanner, you can just look for those that work with the in display fingerprint scanners, no? These has been out of the market for quite some time now and I am sure there are loads of them out there that work just fine with in display fingerprint readers. My S10 5G has no issues whatsoever when I look for tempered glass screen protectors that claim they work with in display fingerprint readers. Heck, the not-so-popular Ultrasonic fingerprint reader on my phone works just fine with tempered glass screen protectors.

Trea, 20 Oct 2020Help me choose between the A71 & the M31 if I were to b... moreA71 is definitely superior to m31( except for the battery) you should compare the a71 to m51.
The m51 is definitely better than a71 on paper, featuring a better chipset,mega battery and a side mounted sensor which is faster.however a71 feels more premium and beautiful and has wayyy better software support. It's gonna get 3 years of update. Not to mention m51( and all other m series phones) feature one ui core which lacks knox protection and some other software features such as bixby and good lock support. If ur good with the software lack the m51 is the phone for you, but if software and phone beauty is that important a71 is definitely a wonderful phone.

I mainly record video in 1080p30... How's the ultra wide/telephoto cameras compare to the flagship S20 in this mode? Especially in low light.

Dear gsmarena: you can keep the wide angle selfie mode instead of cropped one even after closing the app. Camera Settings -- Settings to keep -- selfie angle.
Now you dont have to switch selfie modes each time opening the camera app. Cheers!
