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.

        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.

                      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.

                                    In OneUI 5.0:

                                    - you can now switch off RAM Plus feature (some say it slows down everything when turned on, some even say it physically wears off the memory)

                                    - Good Lock app is now available from Galaxy Store and it gives numerous possibilities for system customisation (you can set such things as Double Back tap, Power button long press, and many, many other options)

                                      I wish there were either a guide or almost rules to posting here with people specifying which cell phone version and chipset they have. It's possible in some situations people are comparing apples to oranges.

                                      I am very interested in this phone as I can't find another phone which has 1) Optical Zoom 2) Excellent battery life 3) Flat screen ...and is affordable. So despite this phone being older and my likely having to only live with Android 13 for a couple of years, I may still pick one of these up cheap and it will eventually be my backup phone.
