A phone for everyone<\/h3>\nSamsung Galaxy S20 FE<\/h4>\n
$700 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The Galaxy S20 FE packages the entire core Samsung experience into a surprisingly affordable flagship with a plastic body and a flat display. It offers a 120Hz display, three great cameras, all-day battery life, and 5G connectivity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n $987 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n By comparison, the Galaxy Note 20 is priced a bit steep, but it offers a nearly identical experience with a faster processor and S Pen support. Like the S20 FE, it’s guaranteed to receive at least three years of continuous software updates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Samsung has developed a reputation in recent years for its stunning hardware designs, typically utilizing a combination of metal and curved glass for its flagship phones. This year, however, we’ve started to see a shift back towards plastic in the company’s “affordable flagship” category. As it turns out, plastic is just fine when done well, especially when paired with two of the best Samsung phones<\/a> in late 2020 \u2014 the Gaalxy S20 FE and the Galaxy Note 20.<\/p>\n The Galaxy Note 20<\/a> was the first phone in Samsung’s flagship lineup to move from curved glass back to a polycarbonate (plastic) design, and while I was apprehensive about the change at first, getting it in my hands immediately put me ease. The Note 20 still feels extremely solid and well-built, and the flat display is a breath of fresh air for anyone who struggled with accidental touches on Samsung’s curved displays in the past.<\/p>\n The subsequently released Galaxy S20 FE<\/a> features the same plastic design and flat display, though it comes in a few more fun colors. Both phones are IP68 water- and dust-resistant, and feature standards like wireless charging and in-display fingerprint sensors. From a hardware standpoint, these two phones are nearly identical, save for a slight difference in physical size thanks to the Note 20’s larger display.<\/p>\n Internally, the phones are similar, as well. The Note 20 features the slightly newer Snapdragon 865+ processor<\/a> (which clocks a bit higher and renders graphics faster), along with more RAM, but both phones offer 128GB of storage, and only the S20 FE offers microSD expandability. The S20 FE is also the only one of the two with a 120Hz display \u2014 like the Note 10<\/a> before it, the Note 20 maintains a more modest 60Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/10\/galaxy-s20-fe-render-cloud-mint.png\")
