[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Samsung Electronics unveiled the new product 'Galaxy S20 FE,' which maintains the core features of its flagship while lowering the price. It reflects the colors and functions preferred by Galaxy users and will compete head-to-head with the iPhone 12 series set to launch in October.

On the 23rd at 11 p.m., Samsung Electronics held an online 'Unpacked for All Fans' event to reveal the Galaxy S20 FE. Samsung employees appeared again in this Unpacked event, introducing the features of the Galaxy S20 FE over 25 minutes. A video depicting the daily lives of six Galaxy users from different professions showcased the key functions of the Galaxy S20 FE.

The Galaxy S20 FE will be available for pre-order starting October 6 and will launch in mid-October. Although the price has not been disclosed, it is expected to be set in the high 800,000 KRW range. Considering the Galaxy S20's launch price was 1,248,500 KRW, this is more than 300,000 KRW cheaper. Samsung Electronics introduced the Galaxy S20 FE to compensate for the sluggish sales of the Galaxy S20 in the first half of the year and to compete with the iPhone 12, which is scheduled to be unveiled in October.

Claire Hunter, Global Strategy Manager at Samsung Electronics' Global Strategy Office, explained while introducing the 'Galaxy S20 FE,' "The Galaxy S20 FE was created by listening to consumer feedback and incorporates useful technologies from the Galaxy S20 series, especially features that everyone will like."

32MP Front Camera... Supports 30x Zoom

The rear camera of the Galaxy S20 FE is equipped with the largest dual-pixel image sensor ever used in a Galaxy phone. The 32-megapixel front camera allows clear selfies even in low-light environments. The Live Focus feature can blur the background. When taking selfies, users can also adjust the color tone to their preference.

The rear features a triple camera setup with a 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera. The dual-pixel image sensor enables sharp photo capture. AI-based multi-frame processing quickly analyzes information from multiple frames to reduce background noise and shake. It is even possible to capture stars in dark indoor or outdoor settings.

Amruta Hunnurkar, Brand Marketing Manager at Samsung Electronics' Global Strategy Office, introduced, "With the ultra-wide camera, you can take photos using the zoom function without moving your position, and when shooting photos on a rooftop in night mode, the dual-pixel sensor allows for clear photo capture."

The Galaxy S20's standout feature, 'Space Zoom,' is also supported. Super Resolution Zoom (digital zoom) can reach up to 30x, and optical zoom without image degradation is available up to 3x. Additionally, the Single Take mode allows simultaneous recording of videos and photos, and the Super Steady feature helps stabilize video recording during dynamic scenes. Videos shot while riding a bicycle with the Galaxy S20 FE mounted on a holder were recorded without shaking.

Lower Price with Latest Chipset and Large Capacity Battery

The Galaxy S20 FE features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen playback is smooth even when playing high-spec games or watching videos. It supports 5G and allows users to enjoy over 100 Xbox games through the cloud gaming service 'Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.' It is equipped with the Snapdragon 865 chipset and supports 6GB RAM and 128GB memory (expandable up to 1TB).

Michael Randolph, Product Strategy Manager at Samsung Electronics' Global Strategy Office, explained, "The Galaxy S20 FE boasts powerful performance with the latest chipset and can download live streaming playlists in just a few seconds."

The battery capacity is 4500mAh, providing up to 25 hours of usage. It supports 25W super-fast charging, taking less than 30 minutes to charge up to 50%. Wireless charging and wireless power sharing functions are supported, allowing charging of Galaxy wearable devices. Just 5 minutes of charging enables 1 hour of use for Galaxy Buds Live. It also supports IP68-rated water and dust resistance. Upgrades to the third generation of the Android operating system (OS) are guaranteed.

The more vibrant colors compared to the previous model also attract attention. In Korea, it will be released in five colors: Cloud Red, Lavender, Mint, Navy, and White. The matte haze finish reduces fingerprints and smudges. The overall design inherits the Galaxy S20 but the display edges are removed, making it completely flat. The front camera, housed in a punch-hole design, has a diameter of 3.34mm, the smallest among all Galaxy smartphones to date.

Notae-moon Roh, President of Samsung Electronics' Mobile Communications Business, said, "Samsung Electronics continuously listens to and communicates with fans. After the launch of the 'Galaxy S20,' we paid close attention to the most preferred features, the most frequently used functions, and what consumers expect from a new smartphone. The 'Galaxy S20 FE' is an expanded model of the 'Galaxy S20' series with meaningful innovations, allowing more consumers to enjoy the best Galaxy smartphone experience."
