Just read small print on website, dunno why soyacincau mention 256GB

11. For 128GB storage, you can store about 25,600 photos for 4MB and about 1900 videos for 51.4MB. ....

That fine print is just for example. According to SoyaCincau and also Lowyat.net, Malaysia's S20Fe will come with top spec 8gb+256Gb

I guess that's one of the reasons why they charge us RM3399.

Early this year when S10 lite (SD855) was released, it's underwhelming and seldom got people asked about it. Even I "hard promoted' it in other thread, no one care about it. Now the successor S20fe release, suddenly everyone have interest and keep asking about it. I wonder why? Lol.

If you don't mind warranty I would go for the s20+ import set tbh since price about the same. Have to wait official review to know if Samsung gimped the s20 FE in any way especially camera wise. Based on specs alone hard to say.
*
Based on my experience on my S10lite (compared to my ex S10+), I can say that no matter how good those lite/fe phone perform in term of camera, no way they are better or on par with the proper S-series. Even if both of them are using the same camera module, the optimization sure are different between them. No way Samsung would use the lite version to tarnish the premium S and Note series. So no matter how good is the S20fe look on spec sheet, it sure got some aspects here and there that lose out to the S20 series. One must use both phones before one can notice what are the differences.

However, there's one thing we can confirm. S20fe battery life confirmed better than the S20 series (exynos), including the S20 ultra.This is guarantee one.

I think a lot of youtubers/reviewers have just received their demo units last few hours. Few of the very honest reviews are like - Samsung S20 FE is a confusing device because at the moment S20 itself is almost at the same price as S20FE with equal and if not better hardware and more premium look overall. xD

I saw a side by side comparison with S20 and S20FE, wah the look of S20FE is really bad. The bezels could have been made thinner seriously, damn. For a 3K phone, it looks like something very cheap.

True. Even the S10 lite is better than S20fe in term of design. When you thought that Samsung finally make something right, they sure would cut out some corners here and there.

Very easy. Next year S21, if comes with SD, instant buy. If exynos, wait for review and see if the performance is better or on par with SD. If all things go south, then S20fe it is. If can wait, then go for S21fe. Case closed. Lol.

Also Xiaomi phones have no OIS,  I noticed a huge difference when I scan mysejatera QR code vs my family members.  None of them have OIS in their phones, except for mine.  Huge speed diff biggrin.gif

i just try to order case for S20 FE from Amazon and look like the availability will start from 23 Oct. I also read the samsung community US forum, seem like some of them having the screen sensitivity issue.
Note sure is that related to the issue or not.

Based on your input, I searched for the same issue on reddit, and found this.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Galaxy_S20/comment...ntent=post_body


IMO, this is the so called "corner cut" I mentioned in previous post. No matter how similar they are, there sure got some minor differences between the S20Fe and the real flagships. In this case, I assume that Samsung does not provide a good software optimization for the s20fe. Just like the S10 lite is having slow camera image capture compared to S10. Now need to wait and see if they aware of this and whether they are willing to optimise it or not.

Anyone know how to fix this? Everytime i restarted the phone, this sim card manager will pop out although i dont have any physical sim card in it.
*
That's weird. Mine is exactly opposite to yours. The manager will only pop up if I restart the phone with simcard inserted.

previously i used physical sim card now im using esim. already hard reset but the problem still persist  rclxub.gif

I don't think it's a problem. I think it's the way how it works. The same thing doesn't happen to my s10lite, which esim feature is not available. So I think the manager pops up due to the esim feature. Can't do anything about it since there's no way to turn it off.

Just molested S20fe in Samsung store. First impression, so small. I already used to 6.7 inch screen. So the S20fe screen looks quite small to me. Not to mention the huge bezels. The design doesn't look like a premium phone to me. Other than that, everything is good. It's perfect for the people who prefer compact phone.

After checking out the phone, the more I confirm that the 3399 price tag is too high. Samsung should have make it under 3000.

The delivery is supposed to be running even it's MCO. The problem is they can use this as an excuse to delay the delivery. And you can't do anything about it.

Welcome!
To replace iPhone 11 pro, I think would suggest to hold 1st. FE screen seems not as sharp as iPhone 11 pro (perhaps due to screen size) but even S10+ at FullHD resolution seems sharper.
Of course S10+ is shaper. Don't forget S10+ panel is a 2k panel. Even you switch to fhd mode, its display is still better than S20fe because S10+ has more pixel density due to its 2k panel.

Yes. Read a lot of user comments from US and also Taiwan. Some of them did encounter the same touch screen issue. Even after the latest update, which suppose to fix the problem, the issue still exist. The touchscreen is mostly happened during the multi task switching. Some said it also happened when gaming.

Anyway, most users assume that it's an hardware issue due to cost down component. I suggest you guys who want to buy the S20fe, wait for next few batches (months). Wait for Samsung to fix their problems from the factory itself.

Rumors said upcoming S21 & S21+ will be HD+, not quad HD..that is only for S21 Ultra

It's fhd+. It's not a rumor. It's confirmed. Basically, if you want qhd+, S21 ultra is the only option. Samsung is using the same strategy like note 20 series. Want the best? Go for the top.

This is like downgrade compared to s20 or s20 plus
And no sd card support..
Why samsung why
*
Indeed. There's not much upgrade for S20 and S20 plus, except the better processor , battery and software. Even the camare spec are exactly the same. Every year I would upgrade my Samsung flagship, either S or Note. This year I don't like the way Samsung did on the note 20 (and I don't want to spend extra on the note 20 ultra). So I upgraded to S20+ instead. Next year I am not sure if I will upgrade to S21 series. S21 and S21+ don't have much upgrade compared to S20. And I don't want to buy S21 ultra since I dislike heavy phone. Sigh.... Why Samsung cannot get the idea..... Not everyone want to be ”ultra" user.

On side note, Malaysia S21 series all come with 256gb, except S21 Ultra comes with 256gb and 512gb
That price is based on 128GB
We are geting 256GB version laugh.gif

Damn! Oh well. As usual, not gonna pre-order. Will wait and see if the trade in value is good enough this year (wanna trade in my S20+). And of course, to see if the exynos 2100 is that good as they claimed.
