This Wednesday, September 23, Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, or FE for short The company has had a habit in recent years of posting pre-order pages for its upcoming devices before they are actually announced, and the same thing was done with the Galaxy S20 FE
Right now, you can pre-order the Galaxy S20 FE on Samsung's website by simply filling in your name and contact information Those who pre-order now will also receive a $20 credit to spend on accessories of their choice
Since it's always a good idea to have a vague sense of what you're buying before you buy, here's what we know about the Galaxy S20 FE With this phone, Samsung seems to be trimming down the existing Galaxy S20 to a cheaper package
Presumably, Galaxy S20 FE buyers will receive the same premium Snapdragon 865 processor as Samsung's $999 flagship and perhaps the same 120Hz refresh rate However, the Fun Edition will reportedly replace the glass back with plastic (like the recently announced Galaxy Note 20) and use a less advanced camera sensor to achieve a lower price
How much cheaper will it be? According to reports, the Fan Edition could be priced as much as $250 less than the regular Galaxy S20, starting at $749 Since the entry-level iPhone 12 model is expected to cost around $750, Samsung is ostensibly trying to beat Apple with this device It is attempting to beat Apple with this device
The two phones should be markedly different in size, despite potentially being the same price The Galaxy S20 FE has been linked to a 65-inch panel, while Apple's least expensive iPhone 12 has a 56-inch display and has long been rumored to be one of the smallest new iPhones in years
The S20 FE is expected to feature a suitably sized battery of 4,000-4,500 mAh along with a larger screen According to some sources, the iPhone 12's power pack may be half this size
What is known for sure is that the Galaxy S20 FE should be available in a variety of colors Samsung teases purple, red, green, and navy in the video on the S20 FE pre-order page
Yellow and white also appear at the end of the video, and did you know that a rendered image of the device in yellow has recently appeared on the web? This means that many color options can be expected
All will be revealed on Wednesday as Samsung will host an "Unpacked For Every Fan" event on September 23 at 10:00 am ET/7:00 am PT and stream it live from their website
