Differences between Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Samsung Galaxy S10e - Which to Choose?

Reasons to consider the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE:

  • Larger battery capacity (4500mAh vs 3100mAh), which may result in longer battery life.
  • Better performance with Exynos 990 (7 nm+) compared to the Exynos 9820/Snapdragon 855 in the S10e.
  • Higher refresh rate display (120Hz) for smoother visuals.
  • Larger display (6.5" vs 5.8") for more immersive media consumption and gaming experience.
  • Improved camera system with a triple-camera setup, including a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
  • Higher-resolution front camera (32MP vs 10MP) for more detailed selfies.
  • Fast charging (25W) and faster wireless charging (15W) capabilities.
  • More recent model with potentially longer software support.

Reasons to consider the Samsung Galaxy S10e:

  • More compact and lighter design, which might be preferred for one-handed use and portability.
  • Higher pixel density (438ppi vs 407ppi) for a potentially sharper display.
  • Dynamic AMOLED display with HDR10+ support.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack for standard wired earphones.
  • Possibility of a higher resell value due to the original higher price.
  • The presence of an FM radio (in USA & Canada) for listening to live broadcasts without data usage.
  • Fingerprint sensor located on the side of the device, which some users might find more convenient.

Both models offer a suite of Samsung-specific features such as IP68 water/dust resistance, Samsung Pay, and Bixby natural language commands and dictation.
