The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 4G with a Snapdragon 865 chipset is official
We heard it was happening, and now it's official. Samsung is making the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 the chipset across the entire Galaxy S20 FE range - both 4G and 5G models.
The evidence comes from Samsung's Swedish website, which has the Galaxy S20 FE, model number SM-G780G, listed with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage - a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB is reportedly also coming.
Up until now there was a Snapdragon 865-powered Galaxy S20 FE with 5G thanks to the Qualcomm X55 modem and an Exynos 990-powered Galaxy S20 that tops out at 4G and was also cheaper.
Now that there will be no Exynos variant on sale, you will have to pay more for 5G - around €700, while the 4G model is expected to cost €630 in Germany.
Outside of the difference in network speed, the Galaxy S20 FE shares the same specs - the now-unified Snapdragon 865 processor, a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution, triple camera (0.5x-1x-3x), 4,500mAh battery, microSD card slot and IP68 rating.

It has the same SD865 chipset as the 5G model, just that it lacks the 5G modem and hence will not be capable of 5G connectivity. Personally I think that giving up 5G to give your wallet some room to breathe is worth it, especially if you live in a co...
