I feel like I should wait for for the pixel 4a 5g. To me 120hz and sd 865 are rather gimmicky. 120hz will probably go unnoticed after the first initial impression. With the sd 865 most people don’t need that much power. Unless you are addicted to COD or Fornite there is only a handful of games worth playing for a considerable amount of time that take advantage of the sd865.
Er , if only my salary and corresponding ‘disposable income’ had gone up (by a lot) to make the thought of a 600GBP phone ‘affordable’. Oh and it’s 700 GBP for the 5G version!
Being an owner of the S20 Ultra, I can say that I think the FE will beat other phones easily at the same price range if you care about specs. My ultra is a beast. Samsung did phenomenal this year.
It’s a phone that cuts all the unnecessary corners that would otherwise add up to the expensive af flagship prices.Doing that while still being an amazing phone with practically no shortcomings.
Why the FE is not like any other mid range phone is the internals are flagship. Other mid ranges might look prettier but Id much rather have a SD 865 than a SD765G. Samsung cut down on the right places giving the FE pretty much all the drooling features of the flagship just not the glass back and I can live with that.
Correction, it is more of a flagship than a mid range phone . 5g with 120hz screen oled panel with a 4500 mah battery and best of all the same snapdragon variant as the one in the s20 line up. I mean to put it simple, if this is a mid range phone so is the base iphone 11 lol
I found that the s20 FE to be a great purchase. I just recently got mine and everything you mention in your video we’re pretty much spot on. Great food analogy by the way. It’s not the best of the best but it really doesn’t have to be it’s a great phone with top of the line chipset wrapped in a really nice package at an affordable price.
No smartphone should cost more than $800, People should stop buying anything more than that.
What makes 700 dollar phone a midrange…it is still expensive.
We need flat screen (without stupid curve edges) with hard back (not glass) in the first place. this kind of design make our life more easier, so we don’t have to add bulky cases.
phone makers making phone so fragile with useless specs and frils, so they can jack up the price.
Ideal specs ….
OLED screen with 450ppi resolution
No need 4k
Camera should be like in Pixel phones don’t need more cameras
