Samsung has just introduced its Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India. Interestingly, the device went official last year in the country, but only on its 4G version. Even though there’s no 5G network operating in India right now, the Korean firm decided to bring its appealing smartphone to the country. The reason? Many companies are launching 5G smartphones in India and the competition is growing exponentially in this particular segment. Many companies are launching 5G phones to be future-proof once the networks get ready.

Galaxy S20 FE 5G (India) specs, price, availability
The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is a special phone for those who didn’t enjoy Exynos chips. Instead of the Exynos 990 on the Galaxy S20 FE 4G, the new variant packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chip. However, the differences end here. The phone will have the same 6.5-inch flat display with a Full HD+ resolution. The display belongs to the AMOLED class and has a fingerprint scanner, 120 Hz of refresh rate, and a punch-hole for the 32MP selfie snapper.
Moving around to the back, we have a triple-camera setup living inside of a rectangular camera cutout. It comprises a 12MP primary, 12MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto units. The handset draws powers from a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast wired charging.
