I bought this phone at a great price a year ago after it was named a top phone for the previous year. I'm a gamer and this thing is powerful enough to not lag when hundreds of others in the game server are complaining about lag and crashing this powers through. The camera... I've never been much of a photographer and used to laugh about people caring about how good their phones camera was but- those days are now gone because of this awesome cameras picture quality. I am now an unofficial photographer for events at the non-profit I work at, and getting paid for that is definitely more fun than my regular tasks, strictly due to the quality of picture this thing has. Actually they are such good quality that sharing them so they can be put on our website and Facebook by ... MoreI bought this phone at a great price a year ago after it was named a top phone for the previous year.

Actually they are such good quality that sharing them so they can be put on our website and Facebook by the admins has been a minor issue- file sizes are too big to email more than a couple through Gmail which is overly tedious so I send them via text 3 at a time. Watching yt or other streaming platforms is perfect with no buffering ever basically if you have any signal at all. The feature I use the least on this phone is the actual phone function but it works flawlessly also inside a 40k Sq ft building that has been known to disrupt some communication I've never had an issue. Best phone I've ever had. Adding a picture of a dog just because I can lol

I purchased the phone when it was first launched on Feb 8. Being an avid Samsung fan, I was so excited to have the phone that I was sure I'd fall in love with. The phone worked perfectly fine for the first 3 weeks. I loved it! Then all of a sudden, the face recognition stopped working and when I tried to reset it in the settings, the camera for face ID turned black. So I brought the phone to the Samsung store, the technicians took a look and it seemed after a reboot, the problem fixed itself. I brought the device home and not even 2 hours after I had left the store, the problem occurred again. So I brought it back to the store, this time, same thing happened, the problem went away after rebooting. They told me it must be a 3rd party app that is interfering with the ... MoreI purchased the phone when it was first launched on Feb 8.

So I brought it back to the store, this time, same thing happened, the problem went away after rebooting. They told me it must be a 3rd party app that is interfering with the face ID, and that I needed to delete all of the unnecessary apps that I didn't use, because they were not sure which app was causing the problem 😑. So I went through each of my app and deleted the ones I didn't use like they said. They also told me I might have to reset my phone to default settings if the problem kept happening. I brought it home and the problem insisted. Now I'm exhausted and frustrated! All of the Samsung devices I'd had were working perfectly fine with all the apps I installed. The technicians can't do anything to fix it because they themselves are not even sure which app is causing the problem, so the only thing to do is to wipe my phone clean, which is really time consuming and redundant, because I'd end up installing the same apps anyway since they are neccessary in my daily life. Now, everytime the problem occurs, I'd have to restart my phone, and it'd only work perfectly for an hour or 2 after rebooting. I've been a Samsung user since 2010, this is the first time I feel so disappointed 😞! I don't even know what to do with the phone now, I paid a lot of money for something that doesn't work properly, that even Samsung technicians can't fix.

My S7 lasted for 6 years and finally died. Looking around for a good replacement at an affordable price, I finally came across the S20 FE 5g. The screen is large which is what I like. The back is not glass, but plastic. However, it does not feel cheap. The sides are aluminum and overall, it has a flag-ship premium feel to it but it might feel a bit large for those with smaller hands. My hands are fairly large so it fits perfectly for me. The fingerprint reader is built into the screen and I have had no issues with it working. It responds fast and gets me into my phone within a second or two. It's also integrated well with other apps to provide security as well. This currently has Android 12 on it. The one drawback to this device is it's 2 years old, which means it ... MoreMy S7 lasted for 6 years and finally died. Looking around for a good replacement at an affordable price, I finally came across the S20 FE 5g. The screen is large which is what I like. The back is not glass, but plastic.

My hands are fairly large so it fits perfectly for me. The fingerprint reader is built into the screen and I have had no issues with it working. It responds fast and gets me into my phone within a second or two. It's also integrated well with other apps to provide security as well. This currently has Android 12 on it. The one drawback to this device is it's 2 years old, which means it started at Android 10 and will receive Android 13 as its final OS upgrade. That means after Android 13, only security updates will be released for the next couple of years following, so that means support for the phone for anyone getting it in 2022 won't last as long if you had instead gone for a newer device like the S22. But, for the price, you cannot beat this. And for me, I always make my phones last years after the updates stop. My S7 is a case-in-point. I got it in 2016 and made it last 6 years. But, for those that look at upgrading every 3 years or so to ensure they always have a device with the latest Android OS, then this may not be the device for them as stated earlier in regards to Android 13 being the last upgrade for this phone. Bluetooth works great in my car as well as with my earbuds. This might be another rub for some, but there is no headphone hack. However, for me, I have been using Bluetooth earbuds for years now and I love it. No wires to tangle up and I don't have to ensure the chord is long enough to reach my phone if I'm doing something like mowing the lawn with the phone in my pocket. I have had no issues with dropped connections with it. It works flawlessly with my car which also has Android Auto in it. It connects quickly and Google Maps is fast and responsive. With my S7 (with it so old), Google maps would hitch, pause and move sluggishly. Also, I would have to wait almost up to 1 minute for Android Auto to fully start up once it was connected to my car. At home, WiFi connection is also stable and fast. All applications feel snappy and fast and I haven't had any issues with any of the applications I use. In fact, many that seemed to perform just "fine" on my S7 have new life breathed into them as I can definitely see a marked improvement in response and speed. The screen is a Super AMOLED, 120Hz HDR10+ screen. It makes things such as scrolling, games and videos be very smooth and fast and the overall responsiveness of the phone feels great. Colors are vibrant and the touch screen is very responsive. I have not encountered any issues where it doesn't respond to what I want except in one area. I've noticed with the screen almost reaching basically to the bezels, you have to be careful how you hold the phone because sometimes, I would find the screen not responding to taps and swipes. The reason was part of my hand (such as a finger) was already touching the screen at the edge, so when my other hand would perform an action, nothing would happen. So I've had to relearn how to hold this phone properly from how I used to do it with my S7. My S7 had a wider gap between the bezel and the edge of the touch screen, so it gave a little more room for my fingers to grip the phone. But I have been able to adjust quickly to this and have no longer had the issue. The processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. While it is an older processor, it still can keep up with some of the newer phones in many respects. And in some areas, it outshined newer phones with newer processors. Gaming-wise, it is great. Non-gaming-wise, still very fast and responsive. As for storage, the S20 SE 5G version comes with 128GB of storage and 6GB of memory. With the SD card support, you can vastly increase the storage capacity of your phone with a microSDXC card up to 1TB. The phone also comes with a USB-C fast charging cable as well as a power adapter. However, the power adapter is not 25W, but 15W. Therefore, you will get fast charging, but a 25W adapter will be faster. You will have to purchase a 25W brick separately. Too bad they didn't just give you the 25W adapter with the device, but today there are phones that only come with the cable and no power adapter, so this was a nice move on Samsung's part when they released this phone. Overall, the small minor quibbles I have with this phone are just that and do nothing to detract from my overall pleasure of having purchased this device. This phone for me was a great deal at the price which was below it's original release price. Compared to the newer phones, it might not have the latest hardware, but price/performance-wise, you can't beat it. But as this is coming up on 2 years, I think Verizon has a limited stock and they do seem to be going fast. If you can get it, and you want to NOT spend a lot of money on a new premium flagship device, but you still want to get a phone that is pretty near to a flagship device in performance and features, then IMHO the S20 FE 5G is worth it.
