    Great video! 👍I however still prefer the Pixel 5 since I prefer stock android with regular updates. I also prefer the smaller size of the Pixel as well. I first ordered the s20 FE which I now replaced with the Pixel instead and I'm pleased with my choice although I probably wouldn't recommend anyone else this switch considering the much stronger specs the s20 FE offers. My choice of phone is based on my own personal preferences which I'm pretty sure isn't shared by the majority of consumers.

    I'm watching on an S20 fe 5g and here's a few things I have to say.
    1. The display doesn't really matter if u don't care that much. The s20 fe display is already awesome. Unless u really want a top of the line screen, just get this. It still has little to no lag.
    2. I can't tell what they cut out from the s20 here. The 30x zoom is fantastic if u use it to find little things in a big crowd. And the camera software records with SUPER STEADY, which lives up to its name. And there's also hdrmax or whatever u call it, which is still in development t for the entire market, which means this phones video recording with super steady is FUTURE PROOF.
    This phone has wireless charging and power share.
    It also has the tiny front facing camera up there and I barely notice it.
    It has the very nice DPUBLE CKICK POWER BUTTON TO OPEN CAMERA FAST. Its so useful you won't believe it.
    The processor is same as s20 but ram storage is better on the regular s20.
    Its worth buying this instead of s20 regular if u don't even use every single feature.
    Hope you find this helpful.
    Have a nice day!

      @Benjamin Owuye Jagun The only area where it excelled in over the Pixel was the display, but that's where it ended. The video stabilization is a lot more smooth on the Pixel and the audio quality when shooting videos sounds more clear than the FE. Also there's too many quality control issues with the FE, mine had the infamous touchscreen issues that most users are experiencing. Mine also had a blown out earpiece speaker right out of the box (purchased brand new from my carrier). So I returned it and went back to Google. I give Samsung all these chances and their phones are just poor quality.

    • @DeadofWinter321
      @DeadofWinter321 3 роки тому

      @Benjamin Owuye Jagun That's literally the only advantage the S20 FE has over the Pixel 5. I'd much prefer having a wide angle camera (and the majority of consumers do too because they bitched about the Pixel 4 not having a wide angle lens) over a telephoto. Video stabilization and audio quality is very poor on the FE while the P5 is smooth as butter and you can hear everything crystal clear. Photos from the Pixel also provide better detail and less blown out, saturation.

    I had the Pixel 5 for a few weeks. It had the screen gap issue so I returned it and got the FE instead. I don't have 5G but I can say that 4G speeds were noticably lower compared to my old Nokia 8 with a Snapdragon 835. 4G is quite fast where I am so it wasn't really noticable outside of speed tests and I would have probably been able to live with it no problem. However, the FE does not have such an issue. 4G speeds are really fast. Better than my old phone I think.

    How much better is Gorilla Glass 6 on the Pixel 5 vs Gorilla Glass 3 on the FE in drop performance? Is Samsung's One UI better than the Touchwiz jank from the past? Is Samsung still pushing ads to the notification tray? Is Samsung still pushing intrusive ads to the notification tray, phone app, weather app, pay app, etc? I know they've done that in their $2,000 phones. Can you uninstall those extra apps? Also, how long is the wait for new Android firmware updates?
    Also for download speed tests: Download the same large file on both devices . That way we can see real-world results, not from some speed test app.

    I returned the S20 FE I had for the Pixel 5 and haven't looked back. The Pixel is just too good to have any regrets on getting rid of the FE. Battery life is better on the Pixel which is a big thing for me and also the bezels on the FE are THICC af compared to the Pixel! Camera is significantly worse on the Galaxy (the Pixel 5 matched my old Pixel 4 XL in the majority of scenarios). My FE had an issue with the display as well as one of the speakers (bottom firing one) sounding distorted when watching videos, listening to music, etc. I just went ahead and sent that shit packing! Samsung quality... 🤦🏼‍♂️

      @Zoys And Samsung makes the most of those apparently. My S7 Edge had to be replaced twice for dead pixels showing up on the display. My S8 started slowing down (after just 4 months of usage) to the point where it got so annoying, I paid it off and went to Google. Also tried various other Galaxy phones throughout the years to see if they've improved themselves or not, S9+, Note 9, Note 10+ and S20 FE. All had a problem (or more than just one problem) and Samsung treats it like these problems don't exist. 🙄

    FE has micro SD card extension, it is a key feature for me. Regarding sound, all phones sound terrible for me, so it is important how good you can hear a voice of your caller, but you didn't test that. Regarding refresh, there is no difference for me. Pixel is certainly a winner for a picture quality.

    This guy seems to have glossed over or not even mentioned a few things, the s20fe is a super cheap display that can't handle mulit touch, using gorilla glass 3, the cheaper version of the s20fe is exynos, the fingerprint sensor is optical and not secure, the 6gb ram actually hinders the performance of you check out other reviewers speed tests against the pixel, the duplicated apps and bloatware and there is even ADS built into th UI, and Samsung while advertising 3 years of updates they actually release the phone on android 10 which is a year behind the pixel to start with. The 20fe is designed from the ground up to not be quite as good as the regular S20

      So, unless you feel you really “need” 5G right now, why not get a 128 GB storage Pixel 4XL and save some $ ?
      It has 6 GB of RAM (same as the standard Galaxy S20 FE), which is more than enough to run Android smoothly for the foreseeable future, a SD 855 SoC (~40% more powerful than the Pxl 5’s SD 765G), it’s OTG-compatible (as all Pixels are, TBF), it has fast & secure facial recognition AND that Tele lens/sensor you prefer.
      Also, its speakers are as good or better than the FE’s, and certainly blow the Pxl 5’s away. Just a thought and my $0.02; in fact, I’m contemplating the same move, since I’m a current Pixel user who’s disappointed with Google’s phone offerings this year.
      FYI/FWIW: I played extensively with a demo S20 FE and while it seemed very nice and I would consider returning to Samsung, a number of real-world users are reporting touchscreen issues (sadly) ! 😱😩

    Great comparison as always Max. Before the iPhone 12 was announced last week. I just bought the s20 FE from Best Buy. I was going to replace my 1.5 yr old LG G7 that is on its last legs (wonky usb c port and degraded battery life that had to turn down res to 1080p from 1440p)
    It was only 600 when I bought the FE and only phone that had a microsd card slot. So it was an instant switch.
    HOWEVER, I couldn’t even get my phone setup due to the recent touchscreen issues that had sprouted up recently. I was hoping mine wasn’t part of this problem but low and behold it was. I was devastated and returned that POS within the hour I got it. I hope Samsung addresses this but as of now I lost faith in them for the time being.
    Also while reflecting on my next phone since the FE was a definite bust, I realized I wondered a smaller phone since even my G7 6.1 inch screen was slight too big for me (I’ve US XL glove sized hands). As much as I enjoy a big screen, it was awkward using it 1 handed.
    So I’m happy waiting to pre order an iPhone mini and return to the ecosystem once again (left after iPhone 3GS)

    Big time Pixel fan here, but this year I had to try something different. Coming from the Pixel 3XL I just didn't like what Google was doing with the 5. I the SOC update would have been minimal from a CPU standpoint, and the GPU would have been a big downgrade. Additionally the camera hardware was mostly the same which would not have improved the photo quality much. So I kept the Pixel 3 and bought the Samsung S20 FE. I haven't been on a Samsung product since the S7 and I have to admit the improvement in the One UI is massive. I'm really enjoying the device and actually prefer the camera at times, not always, but the differences are not noticeable mostly. The great thing about the Samsung is how much freedom you have to adjust the shot with settings. I can't go back to 60hz either, the 120hz screen is a game changer.

      A couple of questions, if you don’t mind:
      * How is FE battery life, vs your Pxl 3XL, and vs your expectations (SoT, if possible) ?
      * Are you having any touchscreen issues ? Sadly, a number of FE users are...

In high residences area, mostly will experience slower internet compared to less residences as congested likely to occur. However, less residence likely to have coverage issue, which also will affect the performance. Its always like that. And mostly, the telco companies are capping their subscriber speed to curtain max speed in order to ensure network traffic not congested. ALL THE MARKETING ONLY TELL ABOUT THE MAX SPEED WHILE IN REAL PRACTICAL, YOU GUYS WILL NEVER REACH IT unless you're working with telco companies, as normally, the employees will provided with free sim and unlimited internet with no capping at all (max speed).

      Philip Marlowe when it comes to the overall verdict, some reviews would say the Pixel 5 is the better phone compared to the iPhone 12, which is a reasonable verdict. The Pixel 5 is $100 cheaper than the iPhone 12 and you get a better display, arguably a better camera for photos, and better software for those who prefer Android. All I’m saying is that the iPhone 12 has the much faster SoC and will stay fast for much longer than Pixel 5 and that statement is not debatable.

They basically only had the choice of the SD 865 or the SD 765G and went with the cheaper one.
