Rest all operate at 1080p+
Which proves that resolution consumes more battery than high refresh rate.
Your beloved Sony got higher score with 1080p@120hz.

While predictable, how is lack of headphone jack not a con for this phone? There is TOTAL space for that port and they still leave it out. It's not made by fans if that's missing...

I decided to swap my S10 for the S20 FE 5G. I can tell that the display is great (though quite cool as usual), good performance across the board (my iPhone 11 is still even faster and throttles less, though, but much better than the S10). Battery life is also great as GsmA said. Speakers are good, but not great.
The rear facing camera is good but I dislike the selfie camera.

This phone will fine for for a few months. Will likely sell in Feb or March 2021 when a better android one 5G comes out. I have had it for almost a week and have how the samsung software operates. Yes I am one of those pure vanilla android fans but thought the pixel 5 spec were not good enough.

Letrix, 08 Oct 2020Almost any phone and camera takes 4:3 by default, as it... morePhones take 4:3 because sensor is 4:3.
Cameras have sensors 3:2 , no photographer uses 4:3.
16:9 is available in most phones, but will drop resolution a lot, also photos,will have less quality on edges like seen in pictures taken by ultra wide.

Almost any phone and camera takes 4:3 by default, as it's the maximum resolution. 16:9 should be available in any phone. 1:1 and the device's aspect ratio should be there too.

I think there is no better camera in this price range. Especially if you want the versatility from the telephoto camera

Anonymous, 08 Oct 2020Great result for a 120hz display with 4500mah battery.
Whe... moreBecause it is 1080p.
Those lower resolution modes exist just to fool ppl. They never save power.
They just run apps at lower resolution and less stress on GPU.
Screen is still QHD.
Check the tests of S20/Plus/Ultra.
All them have much worse numbers when 120Hz mode is on.
Few tech sites even claim 20-25% more power used.

Same extreme blue sky.
Courtesy of excess of HDR.
And innocents still think you get correct photos using HDR.

That is honestly a great deal for the price. Yes the plastic back is disappointing, but you do get IP certification & wireless charging. Camera result is decent, and can be improved upon with gcam. Performance & battery life are impressive as well.
I'm not a Samsung fan, but I appreciate what they've done here. Giving credit where due.
