[deleted post]If you are not bothered about updates, then buy S20 FE 5G. It has OIS for 2 camera lenses which is not present in most of the mid range phones. Others are blabbering about the processor speed, old etc. A common user does not bother about this. You know that.
Or else A52s 5G, A73 are good choice.
If you want exynos processor based phone, A54 is the good choice.
Decision is yours.

[deleted post]I don't think so. Processor is little old. N28 SA band for jio ( if you're in India ) not sure. Also I am not sure whether on avg this phone hits good network speeds consistently.
No android update ( android 13 is last ). Though updates doesn't matter for everyone but with the rate of change of technology, i feel it is better to have support ( updates ).
I personally didn't like battery backup.
Modem speed - not so great
Battery - below avg
Processor - old one
Updates - no updates
Its better of you look for other phone.

This phone also does not support 4G 2300 + 2300 mhz (2 CA) carrier aggregation here in India which is the most commonly used 4G CA by Indian carriers here in India, due to this, this device also has 4G carrier aggregation issues. My device rarely connects to 4G+/ LTE+ network.

I flashed the CP and home CSC files from the Feb 2023 official patch of android 13 version that also has bit / rev number as 4. Aftet this process the 5G 3500 MHz band is working in android 12 itself. Flash it only if you know how to do it. Ignore those who say that it is unofficial.

Maybe we should write to Samsung to activate the n28 band, if it is the one preferred by Jio.

Then go to phone settings - about phone - software info and note the baseband version. Compare that baseband version with the samfw website. If the bit / rev number of the android 12 Nov patch (mostly 4) and the bit rev number of your current phone's firmware is the same (4) then you can surely downgrade via odin.

Try rollback using odin. If that is not possible atleast try uninstallation of unnecessary packages using adb. Don't worry you can re-install them using adb. Bloatware stuff removal using adb you can find easily on google.

But it will hand... moreHe/she is asking if the device has dual sim functionality in his region, he/she is not asking if he can use dual sim cards + memory card at the same time in the phone. The adapter you described is to use dual sim cards + memory card at the same time. The device has second sim slot everywhere (hybrid slot) but in some regions the second sim slot is locked via software and only memory card can be used in that slot, so in those regions, dual sims cannot be used in the device. Most of the time your reply is not even related to the comment.

Here in India 5G was unlocked by Samsung officially in the Android 13 update, before that 5G was not working in this device. There are ways to make 5G work in Android 12 via flashing but that method is not Samsung official.
