So far only hear one person complaining about that. The rest of the users seem to be ok, how is it high?

Don't really follow the mobile space that closely, but according to Android Central (link), this is what the author highlighted regarding the 'ghost touch' issue:
QUOTE
Is this affecting all Galaxy S20 FE units?

While a decent number of Galaxy S20 FE units seem to have touchscreen issues, it looks like the Snapdragon 865 model in particular has been affected to a larger degree. It is likely that the Snapdragon 865 and Exynos 990 versions of the device are using two distinct modules for the display digitizer, and the one on the former could be faulty.

I switched to the Galaxy S20 FE from the Note 20 Ultra back in October and used the phone for over a month. I didn't notice any touchscreen issues on my Exynos-powered unit (SM-G780F/DS); I had no issues using Gboard's swipe input for typing, scrolling through social media with the screen set to 120Hz, or gaming on the phone.

I asked other reviewers that are using the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S20 FE, and they didn't have any issues on their units either. Our friends over at SamMobile have faced issues with one of their two Snapdragon 865-powered S20 FE units, with the touchscreen exhibiting input lag.

Samsung hasn't acknowledged that this is a hardware issue, and is instead fixing the problem via software updates. At this point, we don't know if the manufacturer will release a fourth update to fix the S20 FE screen issues, but the December update containing the latest security patch did not have any stability fixes. For now, we'll just have to wait and see if Samsung is able to resolve this particular issue with an upcoming patch.
Was planning to get the S20 FE for the wife when the price drops to around RM 2,2xx mark, so hopefully, the issue would've been resolved by then.

Or maybe can still opt for the S20 or S20+ if it manages to drop to that price point. Still not willing to spend more than that for a brand new flagship phone regardless of the brand.

Already knew about all these issues before I bought the device. He was referring to Malaysia units and so far only one person complains about it. The rest doesn't seem to interfere with their daily lives or no problems at all. Thus I asked why he randomly said it's high when only one person complains about it out of so many who is using it.

I see.

Not really badmouthing the device itself. Was just wondering if it is really as widespread as claimed in a few previous posts, but thanks for the heads up. The author of that article also mentioned that he didn't encounter any of those issues.

For me, I'm just waiting for another round of price drops to that price point I highlighted previously. Coz the most for gaming is just playing some 2D games, including the few in Shopee and Lazada, plus viewing some videos on Youtube, FB and IG. wink.gif

Just did a double-take on both Lazada and Shopee and saw that there are 2 versions of the S20 FE. One is 4G and the other is 5G. May I know which version did you get?

There is official SD on malaysia, why need but import set?

4G = Exynos
5G = Snapdragon
Regardless of storage

Price difference bro, 2100 (128Gb) vs 2999 (256Gb). Just as a reference for others, they can choose based on their needs.

Thanks for the tip. Good to know that.

Don't plan on playing any 3D mobile games on this phone as watching videos, playing simple 2D games, using general news and shopping apps are what the wife will be doing most of the time. Plus maybe some photo taking and video recording as and when it's needed.

Looks like I'll opt for the 4G version (when the price is right) as the above activities shouldn't be too much of a stress on that Exynos processor. And since I have a fast broadband connection (TIME) at home, 5G isn't a must.
