Samsung's Galaxy S20 Fan Edition has appeared in a popular benchmarking tool, revealing internal specs and a downgrade from the standard Galaxy S20.

MyFixGuide (via TechRadar) found the phone with the ID "SM-G780F" in the Geekbench results browser. This matches the model name style of the Samsung phone, but does not match any existing handset.

The handset used for this test is the Exynos 990 chip, which is also used internationally in the S20 and Note 20 series handsets. In most countries around the world, Exynos-powered Samsung flagships are available, but in the U.S., China, and South Korea, Snapdragon versions are available instead due to Samsung's long-standing contract with Qualcomm.

Thus, this benchmark indicates that the U.S. version of the S20 Fan Edition has at least a Snapdragon 865 processor like the Galaxy S20 series, as has been rumored for some time.

However, the amount of RAM will be less than the original S20 model. In this benchmark, it only has 8GB of RAM. The device is running on Android 10, but is expected to be on Android 11 when the OS is released this fall.

The low RAM capacity and the generally lower-performing Exynos chip may be one reason for the performance gap between the Fan Edition and the standard Galaxy S20. the Galaxy S20's Geekbench 5 multi-core score was 3,147 but this result was only 2,716; the Fan Edition also beats cheaper flagships like the Snapdragon 730G-powered Pixel 4a (1,647), although it falls a bit short of the 3,251 it got from the iPhone 11's A13 processor.

Still, that should be more than enough power for most users, especially those looking to save money by getting a reasonably priced flagship for around $750.

Other rumored features of this entry-level flagship include a punch-hole camera notch in the center, an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 4,500 mAh battery. On the back, there will be three cameras: a 12 MP main, 12 MP ultra-wide, and 8 MP telephoto sensor.

It will also be available in red, white, green, and orange color options. The Fan Edition is rumored to be released as early as October and could be an attractive alternative to the iPhone 12 this fall.
