The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, already positioned as a more affordable alternative to the rest of the S20 range, is now even cheaper thanks to an early Black Friday offer.

The deal from Amazon strips £100 from the price of both the 4G and 5G SIM-free versions, bringing the handsets down to £499 and £599 respectively.

“What is it that makes the S20 FE a better value proposition than the S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra?” asks Nathan Spendelow in our four-star review of the phone. “Despite costing less, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has more in common than not: it shares Samsung’s top-end Exynos 990 CPU (or the Snapdragon 865 in the 5G model), includes a 120Hz screen and runs Android 10.

“As for the differences, the S20 FE has a plastic design and, although it has the same number of cameras on the rear (three), it lacks the 64MP telephoto zoom as well as the ability to record 8K video. Its 6.5in Super AMOLED screen is also lower in resolution (FHD+) and it has 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM to the Galaxy S20’s 12GB.”

Taken altogether, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE makes a few design and camera cuts compared to its more expensive Galaxy S20 stablemates, but the result is a convincing price - made all the more appealing thanks to this Black Friday deal.
