Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE launch is expected on September 23. Samsung has scheduled a virtual event called “Galaxy Unpacked for Every Fan” for September 23 where it is quite likely to launch the Galaxy S 20 FE aka Galaxy S 20 Fan Edition. The upcoming smartphone, which was initially rumoured as the Samsung Galaxy S 20 Lite, is speculated to come as a toned-down version of the Galaxy S 20. Thus, you can expect some compromises on the part of its specifications over the company’s top-end smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE is, however, rumoured to have a host of similarities with the Galaxy S 20 series to deliver a flagship-like experience.
The invite for the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked for Every Fan event that has been posted on the Samsung Newsroom website, doesn’t give any concrete details about what’s launching on September 23. Nevertheless, the company says that the event is specifically meant for its Galaxy fans. This hints at the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE aka Samsung Galaxy S 20 Fan Edition.
Samsung will host the event virtually through the Samsung Newsroom site and its social media channels, including Facebook and YouTube, at 10 am ET (7:30 pm IST ) on September 23. The company may also put some teasers ahead of the launch.
Last week, a Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE product page briefly surfaced on the Samsung Philippines site. It showed the phone in Cloud Navy and Cloud Lavender colour options. However, the official video inviting for the Galaxy Unpacked for Every Fan event suggests that the phone could come in more than the two listed colour options.
The listing on the Samsung Philippines site also suggested dual-SIM support as well as at least 128 GB of onboard storage on the Galaxy S 20 FE. The phone is also likely to come in both 4 G and 5 G options — just like the Galaxy S 20 series.
If we look at the past reports, the Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE is likely to feature a 6.5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display in a flat design, along with a 120 Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone is also expected to have Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 SoC, depending on the market. Further, it is rumoured to have at least 6 GB of RAM.
In terms of capturing photos and recording videos, the Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE may include a triple rear camera setup that could feature two 12-megapixel image sensors alongside an 8-megapixel shooter. The phone is also rumoured to have a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S 20 FE is also likely to come with an IP68-certified build. Besides, the phone could pack a 4,500 mAh battery along with a 15 W fast charging support.
