Is the S20 FE 5G still worth buying?

It remains a strong value pick for a smooth 120Hz screen and Snapdragon 865 speed. Newer mid-rangers beat it on charging speed and update length.

How does it compare with the Galaxy S20?

It shares the chip and 120Hz display but has a plastic back, a lower-resolution camera setup and no curved screen. It costs less and feels nearly as fast.

Does it work on US carriers?

This is the global dual-SIM G781B model with Euro 5G. It works on GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile, but not on CDMA carriers such as Verizon.

Does it have a headphone jack or microSD slot?

There is no headphone jack. A microSD card slot lets you add storage beyond the 128GB built in.

Is it water resistant?

Yes, it carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. That covers splashes and brief submersion, not swimming.

The phone, a USB-C cable and a SIM tool. A charger and case are not included.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G 128GB Smartphone (Unlocked), Cloud Navy

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is Samsung's value take on the S20: a 6.5-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 865 chip, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with IP68 water resistance and NFC. It keeps the flagship-level speed and display of its pricier siblings while trimming the glass back and some camera hardware. Owners like the smooth screen, all-day battery and clean software; some note the plastic body feels less premium and the cameras are a step below the S20.
