So i shattered my screen and I was shopping around for a replacement. Then i notice i could get a new S20 FE 5G for not much more.
I honestly cant break away from this model. Its still a premium phone with premium specs WHILE STILL KEEPING EXPANDABLE STORAGE
Is there anything like it now? I have an insane library of photos and videos on my SD card that ive been building over the years, its honestly the only thing keeping me from buying newer phones…
What’s out there today?
Sony Xperia phones still all have headphone jack and SD card slot.
The new 5 series is coming soon and looks great. The Xperia 1 is a bit pricey. The 10 Series is budget so you might find it underpowered.
Samsung A54 you’ll also find underpowered if you’re used to flagship.
If you get the S20 be aware that Samsung is not beginning One UI 6 to it, neither Android updates apart from security updates.
How does 10 series compare to thr s20 in yerms of performance? I like playing wild rift
Do what I did and just get the screen fixed man. The s20 fe is such a good phone, I can’t justify the cost of a new model when this one is more than fine. Little to no battery or performance drop after 2 years.
Yea i did that initially lol but th3 screen i got was poor quality.
I might as well get a new one. Its an extra 100 but ill try to sell my current as is for $100
Ah fair enough man. I’ll tell you my problem, is that as much as I’d like to try other brands like Sony or whatever, my watch, earbuds, and TVs are all Samsung and everything works pretty well together (for the most part), so I’m hesitant to potentially fuck that up.
The ecosystem problem is true even if you don’t use apple products. I’m in the same boat, everything’s Samsung here, I’m scared to leave.
There is the Fairphone 4, the problem is the price. i paid 600€. i’m guessing the S20 FE is much cheaper
Yeah. but if you have the money to spare, this is easily the most repairable phone you can get.
The battery life is pretty bad, but you can just carry around a second one like some people used to do.
The screen is a comparatively dim LCD with 60Hz, but it can be replaced with only a few screws.
The chip isn’t the most cutting edge thing available, but it can play any game just fine.
overall, the software also runs great. it comes with stock android in europe, and you can easily upgrade to LOS or EOS.
Ith has 5 Years of warranty and at least 7 Years of Software updates.
for me, it’s the best phone i ever had. (minus the part where it’s missing the headphone jack)
Samsung a54 is a good one. 256gb with sd card slot.
Keeping this post up since there are already some responses below, but I’d just flag rule 2 in the sidebar and that we ask questions and suggestions seeking to be posted to !askandroid@lemdro.id instead. Thanks!
