The Galaxy S20 FE is the phone that worked out which flagship features people actually use, and quietly dropped the rest. Samsung kept the 120Hz screen, the IP68 rating, wireless charging and a proper 3x optical telephoto lens, then saved money on the things buyers notice least: the back is plastic rather than glass, the front is Gorilla Glass 3, and the display resolution is 1080p instead of the quad HD panel on the standard S20. In use, almost none of that registers. It remains one of the most sensible Android buys of its era, helped by a 4,500mAh battery that lasts longer than the smaller S20 and a 32MP selfie camera that outshoots most flagships of the time. UK buyers should check which version they are looking at, because the 4G model uses Samsung's Exynos 990 and the 5G model uses the Snapdragon 865, which runs cooler and more efficiently. Samsung supported it through three Android upgrades to Android 13 and One UI 5.1, so its update window has now closed.
