Samsung announced on Friday, October 2, the new Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE) is set to retail at P35,990 in the Philippines.
The Galaxy S20 FE was first made official on Wednesday, September 23, announced via an online Unpacked event.
The “fan edition” for Samsung phones are designed to be lower priced variants of their flagships, typically coming months after the original variants.
In the US, the S20 FE will be launching at prices starting at $699 for the 5G model, and presumably lower for the 4G/LTE version. The original S20 launched at $999 or P50,000 in the Philippines back in February.
The Philippine variant is LTE-only.
In the US and other markets, the FE will be launching on October 2, with pre-orders starting right after the online event.
The FE has the same chip as the original S20, which is a Samsung Exynos 990 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, depending on the region. It has 8GB RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, a triple rear camera setup (wide, ultrawide, telephoto) and a 32MP front camera.
The Philippine variant has an Exynos 990 chip and 128G of storage.
Like the S20 and S20 Plus, the FE has 3x optical zoom and 30x hybrid zoom. The S20 Ultra has 10x optical zoom, and a 100x “Space Zoom.”
The FE’s telephoto camera though is only 8MP, while the base S20 and S20 Plus have a 64MP telephoto, and the S20 Ultra has a 48MP telephoto.
One of the best S20 features that carries over to the FE is the 120Hz display, which makes for smoother scrolling.
The size of the FE’s Super AMOLED display is 6.5 inches, which makes it bigger than the base S20 (6.2 inches) but smaller than the S20 Plus (6.7 inches) and the S20 Ultra (6.9 inches). The FE does have a lower resolution (full HD) than the original S20 phones (quad HD). Its screen is flat unlike the 2.5D screen of the original S20 phones.
According to Samsung, the FE’s front camera is housed in its smallest circular notch ever, measuring at 3.34 millimeters. The phone has a 4,500mAh battery like the S20 Plus.
The phones will come in the colors cloud navy, cloud red, cloud lavender, cloud mint, cloud white, and cloud orange, with a haze finish that makes the surface look like midway between being reflective and matte.
All the colors will be available in the Philippines with cloud mint being a Smart-exclusive and cloud orange and cloud white being exclusive on Samsung’s online store.
Customers who pre-order the Galaxy S20 FE in participating online channels will get a Samsung UV Sterilizer worth P2,199 and an additional P2,000 discount upon check out. Units will be available starting October 23. – Rappler.com
