Galaxy S20 FE in the 800,000 KRW Range, Domestic Release Imminent
Galaxy S20 FE Expected to Launch in October Priced Between 800,000 and 900,000 KRW
[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (FE) is expected to be released domestically as early as October.
According to industry sources on the 11th, the Galaxy S20 FE (model number SM-G781N) recently completed Wi-Fi certification and is preparing for a domestic launch. With local carriers recently starting network interconnection tests, the official release appears imminent.
Samsung Electronics has raised expectations for a domestic release by recently adding the Galaxy S20 FE model number (SM-G781N) to its official support page. There was also an incident where sales images were briefly posted and then removed from the Samsung Electronics Philippines website.
The Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) is a smartphone that reuses Galaxy S20 components with downgraded specifications, making it more than 300,000 KRW cheaper than its predecessor. The price is expected to be in the 800,000 to 900,000 KRW range. Due to the Galaxy S20 series sales reaching only 60-80% of the previous generation’s level because of the COVID-19 pandemic and high prices, Samsung aims to refresh the market atmosphere with a quasi-premium new product that offers flagship-level performance by reusing parts.
It features the Snapdragon 865 chipset, a flat 6.5-inch OLED display without edges, and a triple camera setup (12MP wide-angle, 12MP ultra-wide, 8MP telephoto). It comes with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4500mAh battery. New colors such as Orange, Violet, Mint, and Navy will be available.

The Galaxy S20 FE is positioned as a competitor to the affordable iPhone 12 model set to launch in the fourth quarter. Earlier this year, Samsung released the Galaxy S10 and Note10 Lite models globally, but South Korea was excluded from the launch countries. This is the first Lite model release in three years since the 2017 Galaxy Note FE.
