Initially they didn't accept it. I had to go to the police and lodged the complaints too. It's a scrap phone. Samsung spoiled their brand name because of this S20FE. today I purchased M51. I need to see it.

    I am curious to know why the video option from main cam doesn't offer OIS while it does for photo?

        Could it be that 5Gs photos are better than S20+ because of snapdragon processor?

            Anonymous, 27 Jan 2021The battery for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE can only last 8hrs. ... moreYou are Right. The Battery life is my only complaint with this cute phone.
            I got it the same time with a Note 10 Lite and the difference is crystal clear .
            I wish I could get a new one to replace just to see if there will be an improvement.

                The battery for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE can only last 8hrs. It is a handicap phone without a power bank.

                    In my first 2 days of use, the phone keeps heating up that penetrates its jelly case and battery drains quickly I have to charge it twice a day. Any thoughts on what I should do?

                                  I appreciate GSMArena exists and does those reviews for us. But I can't trust their photo quality reviews. I learned it the hard way with A8. And here we go again:
                                  One should be totally blind to say "both produce pretty good photos" for FE tele comparison with S20+ in low light (Night mode). S20+ zoomed photos are a total mess in low-light, whether it's Night mode or not: no texture can be seen, some letters can't be seen at all, while being readable with FE zoom. (Not that I consider FE a good phone due to numerous issues reported.)

                                    Anonymous, 19 Dec 2020Ive had Samsung notes from note1 to note 8. I bought the s2... moreI guess your phone is faulty. Replace it. I have my s20fe for a month and would say, its a very good phone. I had issues with fingerprint sensor but after update, its just as smooth.

                                      I bought S20 FE 5G a few days ago because my S9+ have a cracked screen (replaced just the glass screen as the lcd screen has no problems), and also the battery has started to bulge, so that got replaced too. I thought it's time for a new phone, walked into samsung store and was told the only S20 in stock was the FE, and the rest is history.

                                      I only opened the camera app today, and just a little disappointed that the shooting methods do not include voice command? Is that one of the compromise of this model's camera app? although I did disable some bloatware via adb; didn't play with the camera prior to debloat, so I can't be sure of this, so maybe there's a package that I need to re-enable/reinstall?

                                      thanks
