Samsung Galaxy S20 FE specs
Disappointed - Not a flagship Experience - Exynos Variant

I've had it for 11 months, everyday basic use is super smooth as it should be, when you play demanding games such as Pubg mobile or Genshin Impact the Framerate drops are awful. This is thermal throttling city. I would avoid the Exynos variant if you care about performance. Even the camera stutters bad. Due to heat output the camera app has closed itself while recording a video, this is kind of rare, but I wouldn't rely on it for very extensive recording sessions.
Display has good things like the refresh rate, it might be only my unit but it's significantly worse than the display of the S20, S20+ and S20 ultra, I've compared side by side. Also, I’ve turned off Vivid mode on the display settings, at first glance it looks cool but if you try natural mode for a while, you’ll notice the difference, now it annoys me a lot on the vivid mode.
Battery life is mediocre and inconsistent due to the exynos chipset. Overall disappointed every "reviewer" out there fails to properly review this phone, it's a fine phone for casual daily use but I could have gotten the same for less money, I thought this was going to be a near flagship experience with some compromises but let me tell you the Exynos variant is not a flagship experience. SD 865 variant should be significantly better.
Picture quality seems decent, but I’ve seemed better, Samsung likes to give you the “good colors”, too much saturation for my personal taste. The focus performance on my unit is not great, it has difficulties focusing close objects. Video is great, I really like it, my cat looks glorious on 4K. Front camera is fine.
I would advice you to avoid the Exynos variant of this phone, get a cheaper one if you’re a casual user. Off course if you get a good deal, you could consider it, I’d be willing to pay no more than 500 USD. If you’re a power user, you probably won’t be satisfied.
