Display

The 6.5-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has a Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This means the screen updates 120 times per second and makes moving from one thing to another very smooth. As a result, 120Hz is excellent for gamers.

This high refresh rate is a notable feature at this price point, something to bear in mind when comparing Samsung Galaxy S20 FE handsets with similar devices.

In comparison to other premium Samsung models, the display resolution is lower and this is one of the reasons the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE price point is lower than other models.

Storage

Customers who choose the smaller storage model can still increase the amount of space on their device by using a microSD card - the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has a card slot unlike some rival devices.

This microSD card will need to be purchased separately, so customers should factor that into their upfront handset costs if they need the extra storage straight away.
