Max Jimo, 16 Sep 2023Considering the display issues, which one is better deal to... moreif you need the microsd slot then s21s are out of the question, then there's the sd888 heating issues, and then there's the exynos and snapdragon variant, if you could get the snapdragon then pick the snapdragon,personally i much prefer sd865 to sd888, the s21 also still more expensive than s20, the price gap really not worth for me. in my opinion the s20fe 5g is the better phone(for me) for few reasons. i don't like curve screen, i'm very much needed the microsd slot, snapdragon 865 is a must so that's only left me with s20fe 5g. the display still looks pretty good, the main camera sensor is the same with the s20 and its look great, the ultra wide looks alright, telephoto and selfie kinda garbage though, and it have android 13, 2-3years later android 13 still pretty much usable and same thing applied for snapdragon 865, all other features still pretty much more or less with s20/s21.if you don't mind curve screen and you could get a good deal,perhaps note 20 ultra is even better option. if you don't need the microsd slot then choose the cheaper one, i'm pretty sure the vanilla s20 is the cheapest option in s20/s21 variants
no matter how cheap the a34/54 you could get, at the end of the day it's just midranger phone at best, if you only using your phone normally like messaging,social media,snap photos here and there, media consumption then it should do just fine but for demanding task and better quality, you just can't beat flagship

- 4th day with this phone i think.
- Battery on youtube lasts only 6 hours it seems.
- Nothing special running on the background.
- Mostly apps i used for 3 min. max.
- Only 0.x% and 7 apps on battery usage
- Battery usage app says yt used 9.0% in 1h and
- Genshin in 43 min. says 12.5. but it feels like less...
- That game app from samsung says only 4h 20min. from 100%
- that's for genshin. And that's on mostly on low settings.
+ Battery makes me regret not getting a poco f4...
+ While writing this and looking at battery care app
+ says browser used 2.1 of battery but it used more
+ Something is wrong with the battery care app and battery of phone.

Max Jimo, 16 Sep 2023Considering the display issues, which one is better deal to... moreAll of the S20 line-up (UW / UltraWideband-mmwave not included) come with support for expandable storage via MicroSD card slot. The newer s21, s22, etc, do not include a microsd card slot. They also reduced the resolution and RAM in some newer "S" phones compared to their older S20 counterparts (those with 1440p@60hz or 1080p@120hz which can be changed in the settings).
The s20 5g, s20+ 5g, s20 Ultra 5g, note20, and note20 ultra (NON-UltraWideband [UW]) are a sweet-spot for samsung phones and in the used market, they are very affordable. They never caught traction because of their release coincided with the first surge of the virus in 2020.
Anyway. Whatever you choose should be catered for your needs.
Cheers

After using the S20 FE 5G for 18 months, I can say its a great phone.
I only wish battery life was better (currently stands at 12-13 hours with my usage pattern) and the screen was brighter (as it is barely visible under bright sunlight in India).

Anonymous, 12 Sep 2023sd865 still pretty much a beast in 2023Yes. The app updating speed in the S20 FE 5G and A52s 5G is faster than the A70 model.

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2023sure...that's why samsung released exynos variants on ... moreQualcomm for Galaxy was an alliance while Samsung made refinements on it 4nm process node, so they couldn't approve mass production for the newer Exynos chipsets in the high-end segment because of the low yield quality and the transistor density. Also Samsung and Qualcomm have an agreement to cooperate together in certain situations, Exynos chipsets can't be sold in the north American market because the costs will raise, since Qualcomm holds patents there, meaning if Samsung ants to sell Exynos there for the high-end segment, they should pay taxes making the final product more expensive.
