Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra might be packed to the hilt with the latest, greatest tech, but they also come with sky-high prices to match but the Samsung s20 FE which stands for ‘Fan Edition’ packs many of the features of its flagship siblings for a much more affordable price.
A release price of $700, it’s a whole lot cheaper than the $1,300 Note 20 Ultra. Even if you’re paying $700, that’s the same US price as the recently announced Google Pixel 5. But the S20 FE offers other benefits over the Pixel in the form of an additional telephoto lens, expandable storage, and a more potent processor.
