S20fe
I pick you 😍

Why am I obsessed with these videos. I keep coming back and God knows I ain't got no money😂
Same...😂
Pretty girl taking about tech...
We might as well _enjoy_ being poor eh?
It's 1:15 am for me it's the S20 plus or the S20FE. SD card is always a deal breaker do S21 is out. My carrier is no longer selling the S20s and neither is Samsung so I guess it's the FE. I don't need to save money, but I'm kinda cheap 😂 I'm rocking a S7 Edge. But space wise I'm packed.
I hope you get it anyway or get the money to get it ❤️
😁😁😁😁
I got the S20FE. I got it before the S21 came out but I could have waited 3 days and just got the S21. However, I take tons of video and pictures so the benefit of the SD card, far outweighs the benefit of the faster chip or better screens. My camera is just fine on the FE so I'm satisfied.
👍👌🔝
@@faustinoW i think it is a lesson for everyone to do a lil bit of research though, at least be aware if a new phone is gonna come out, but anyway no major differences between the two, if you want a bigger display maybe s20 fe is even preferable
You made the right choice. My wife looked at S21 after getting the FE, and is happy she didn't wait.
You made a good choice I love my galaxy s20 fe so much
The fee has screen issues ghosting
I've watched 10 different videos and the vibe of yours simply was so much nicer and relaxed, and the comparison was flawless regarding what i needed to know! Thanks!!
It boils down to whether you want an SD slot, MST for Samsung Pay, and a larger size phone or not. All other differences between the two are minor in everyday use. I'm all for not taking away features from smartphones, so I'll stick with my S20 FE.
I'm sorry but I am considering buying the S20 FE, does it not have compatibility with Samsung or Google Pay because that would be a deal breaker for me?
@@MylesSegal I use S20 FE, and I confirm G Pay works perfectly fine for me. I use G Pay on my S20 FE weekly.
What exactly is Google Pay? Can someone fill me in. I just ordered an S20Fe earlier today and I'll be upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo which is a huge jump so I'm completely out of touch with everything new in the world of Smart phones.
@@mikeh2129 most shops now a days use G Pay all you have to do is download the application from play store and link your bank account so when you purchase some thing
from shop or online use the G Pay application scan QR code and make payments you can also send money to other people
@@heartlin5875 I really appreciate you letting me know. Thanks so much.
My new phone hasn't arrived yet but when it does I'll have to learn how to use it since I'm used to the S5 way of doing things and I'm aware that doing things with an S5 is different from the more modern phones. Thank goodness for UA-cam video tutorials :)
This was my first time watching one of your reviews and I really liked it.
You hit all the important points of both phones and explained them without dragging it out causing me to lose interest because I tend to do that.
I have the FE and I like it but for some reason I keep thinking I should upgrade to the S20 Ultra or even the S21 Ultra.
I tend to do that too. I think I need to have better than what I've already got! 🤣.
Anyway, you've got a new subscriber, thanks.
Great review. I like how you notice the small things that others reviewers tend to miss like the subtle differences in the hole punch design and the flash of the optical fingerprint sensor.
The purple S21 looks like it was made for you, Thao!
Who you kidding?? It was made for Thanos!
@@syk9855 If Thanos was a gentleman, he would gift it to Thao. But, he’s Thanos, so...it’s inevitable that he won’t 😩🤣
Hey Gorgeous 🤩how do you arrange the s21 screen apps like that putting the music aside and others . I like it
Please let me know. Hope to hear back
Many thanks !
@@Sharky165 then she would become “Thaonos!”
@@syk9855 🤣 agreed
It's the lack of SD card support for me. Sticking to my s20 Iron edition
ha ha am i the only one to get the joke 😅
A great comparison! I think for the average tech consumer it will come down to price and at this moment in canada samsung online has the FE on sale for $780, but with a trade in you can get it for just above $500! Thats a great deal!
I got the s21 for 475. Definitely worth it, plus wireless earbuds+, smart tag, case, 25w charger all for free. No brainer
@@x_ghosts5748 what phone did you trade in?
@@HT-pl8du IPhone XR, worth 350.
I'm holding my s21 now, I love it so far!!
@@tgenesis8784 it's an amazing phone!
Just wanna say your channel is awesome. Recently discovered it, and you make things really accessible for someone like me who has been out of the loop on tech in recent years. I just ordered the s20 FE based on your video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this review. I am definitely going with the S20FE. I love how much clearer its pictures are than my Samsung Galaxy A02S.
The Most Important Comparision this year!!! Wanted S21 vs S20 Fe Comparision so badly
Thank You So Much Thao for your Expertise!!
Great comparison. Very objective. Just a note that the 64meg 'telephoto' on s21 is not necessarily better than the 8meg telephoto on the s20fe. That's because the s21's is only 1.1x optical (compared to main camera) while the s20fe is a real 3x optical. So for the s21, the zoom shots are actually cropped images of the 64meg image and digitally extended to achieve the hybrid zoom. So both handphones end up having roughly equal zoom capabilities.
Which is better for video recording?
S20+ , S21 or S20fe ??
you talk so fast with good and useful information. Great video and also can you do a s21 vs 8T video?
Think I be better off with the S20 FE, seem like a smarter buy.
Thank you! I found that your front camera whole punch comparison a unique observation from other videos but can you tell me if the FE records video in stereo? Cheers from Detroit
I love your top! And that was an amazing and honest review, thank you! I bought the FE for my wife a couple of months ago and am considering the 21 for myself now.
Damn the thirst lol
I just began following your work and I'm pretty impressed about it, love what you are doing 🙌
Hi T. Love your reviews, always so down to earth, on point. not to mention the Canadia accent 😁 awesome
Thanks for sharing! Is any one of them water proof?
Thank you. This DOES help a lot! I'm going to go and buy one today. Now I think I'll just go with the 20se.or note. Thanks again!
Previously having the Galaxy S7 and S9, the FE is every bit as much a flagship device as any I've ever had. The S21 looks amazing, but I do like the slightly larger screen of the FE and I really don't think there is enough of a difference for me to make the switch after only having the FE for a few months.
Not to mention, the S20 FE is one of the last Samsung phones to have the MST feature which is the main reason why I haven't upgraded yet. I've gotten so used to using Samsung Pay almost everywhere I go and I'm very disappointed that Samsung discontinued using MST in their devices.
@Gino Yeah I can think of a number of grocery chains that still use old IBM cash registers or more recent non nfc terminals, or EVEN BETTER proprietary encrypted nfc software that forces you to use their app that doesn't work... KROGER. ugh the world isn't what it seems I swear... Only fast food chains have really upgraded their terminals where I live. Long live MST!
Your reviews are great, but could you also include how the HDR media watching experience is on the specific smartphone while reviewing it?
(sorry for my English)
Was waiting for this! Good job! 👊🏾😘
For the price i would go for Galaxy S20 FE but man the design of S21 looks so gorgeous
It really does
@@sakeenaspage2201 Display, Battery, Cameras and Performance are far more important selling points of a phone. I'm not saying Design isn't but those other factors are what makes a well rounded awesome phone
In the UK we don't get the snapdragon 888 in the s21 but we do get the snapdragon in the s20 fe 5g so, I'm going for that. Plus, call me old fashioned, but including a proper power brick in the box and the sd card slot is a HUGE deal for me.
s20 fe is too big and too heavy unfortunately.
I wish the next phone that they come out with has the aspects of the S20fe but the size and the finger print placement of galaxy S21😂🔥then again I can't wait to see what happens next. P.s. that price gotta chill
Loved your video! To the point with great justification and advice
I love the color choices that these companies have been launching lately. The S21 purple color is awesome. Love that plastic phones are coming back.
The back of the S20FE is plastic too
Me too, so much less worrying about breaking it! I'm actually considering not using a case!
Here hold my old s9
Thanx for this review Thao, with down to earth and practical comparisons. I was deciding between the S21 and S20 FE. For me personally, the larger screen is a big win - especially with Amoled. Your review helped to confirm it is a good phone, and that you enjoyed using it as well.
Cheers
Great job as usual. Also looking forward to your S21 ultra review.
Excellent review thank you, can I ask, what is the square multicolored light device I can see blinking lots of colours in the background? Would love to get one if I knew what it was
Watching the on my 20fe..I love this phone so much! It's amazing!
Same
Does the s20fe have edge lighting for notifications
Yes
Bro how is front camera quality? Reply fast I am going to order, front camera matters a lot to me
@@Thorfinn47. it's really good tbh...I live the Camara on it
Nice. Waiting for the official price in Brazil (S21). But I think FE it's the best option overall.
Aqui na europa, o S20 FE vem com Snapdragon. Aco que vou comprar o S20FE, Exynos esquenta muito... mas tem um ano mais de actualizações... que dúvida... :(
Can you please recommend a good screen cleaner for laptop and phone? Thanks for the video!
What a great comparison. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. S20 fe still doing great in 2021. I'm looking forward for your review about mi 11 which is an amazing value phone for money and has some great features. Massive SUB. Greetings from UK
Got the s20 fe about a month ago before the 21s came out, and so far I really like it. Came from a s9. Was also looking at the velvet.
Is it good for selfies?
Love the video Thao! I recently picked up the s20 fe and absolutely love it with the 120hz refresh rate! The S21 is nice with the addition ram but I think 6gb is enough since I don't game much besides pokemon go lol. Keep up the amazing content!
She does?
Hi Thao. Really appreciate your videos. Great job on the content and good data. Thank you. Keep it up.
The great thing about these two phones is that there is so many option to customize the UI. So chances are if you don't like the way something looks/operates, you can most likely change it
Thanks for the comparison. Feels weird and crazy to get an older version phone instead of the new one, but your video make me realize i made the right choice. No sd card slot is Samsung's big mistake though.
Size size size!!! not everyone likes large phones! that's why S21 is undoubtedly the winner to many people!!!
Yup I like thy s21 I wish I got the s10e though
Loved the video! Can you maybe make a video about your Home Screen layout?
Do you need to buy a case and screen protector for both?
You are very underrated not gona lie :(
It's crazy that they would NOT provide the charger.
Yep, the crappy “Apple effect” 😩😡🤬
The S20 FE does include a charger in the box
@@Chan-me5wgMine didn't😪Thankfully I have a few c's.. Just got it yesterday.No head phones either.Just a tool for the sd
very helpful review thank you. Cheers!
Awesome video thank you Thao 👍👏😊🙏🤗😘❤
you need a third option S20 or 20+ all day. Nice video.
Thao is my favorite Samsung reviewer and shes so beautiful 😍😍
Great Videos... minimalistic but still informs very good... I dont know if you already have a fan from overseas but now you got one (Germany) ...
I love Kanada and I would like to visit that country ... stay safe!
I was waiting for this comparison.....very useful.
They both almost the same for me but I still choose S21 because of small form factor...but still appreciate s20 fe because sustain the sd card slot and charger
I would love to watch your review of the one ui 3😁
Good morning, Ms. Thao. You mentioned that your S20 FE’s battery is satisfactory. How often do you need to charge it in one day on average? I got mine just a month ago and I have issues on how fast my phone’s battery loses power that I need to charge it at least twice a day. And then there is this heating issue. The one thing that disappoints me is that I couldn’t do continuous Zoom meetings or video calls because a window pops up saying that the video has to shut down due to the overheating of the screen. Your valuable advice would be most appreciated.
Congratulations, you got a new subscriber.
I really liked the quality videos that you are having. Thanks
Man canadian tech youtubers are so rare. Thao you represent Canada 🇨🇦

Those fingerprint scanners that light up at night. Blinding 😎
is it possible to have both fingerprint AND lock screen as an opportunity, or only one at the time?
thanks, getting it in some days.
Thao Huynh, Definitely my favourite review yet! i notice i catch myself rewatching your reviews over and over! Your energy is super great! I bought the tab s6 lite through the review you did. But i also want to get the s20 FE. i'm asian and too cheap! lol. Beside that, i want to say keep up the great videos you do! i'll be watching it over and over again! Stay stay, REP from Toronto! Another lockdown!
Here in Greece the S20fe 5G has got an SD865 and on the other hand s21 Exynos 2100. I think that Exynos is still a mess although its newer and 5nm, I think I'm gonna buy the S20FE 5g
I just ordered my FE I will see what it can do 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
I looked at both in '21 and prefer the size of the FE. For my use (I use it mainly for WhatsApp, calls & txts) screen real estate is king. I guess you choose what works for you best. I was also put off the S21 because I've read that it is a "cheaper made phone" I'm not sure if that's true but once a seed is planted... Great video, thanks.
Im Canadian a nber..
And I just got an upgrade from a 9s edge to the 20FE. yesturday. I watched many of these videos on this phone. The truth is it is similar in operation of my older phone so that helps to navigate through it.. So far so good. And for the price its also why I looked at getting this one. External memory card is key if you do lots with your phone. I do... and that was the main selling point for me..
Thanks for the review

I watch many reviews , and you are among the best.
Dang Thao! Great job with this comparison. I have the FE and pre ordered the S21. Immediatly after this comparison, I ordered the s21 ultra. lol. I will just return the s21 unopened now. Thanks again. You really provided a lot of value to me.
dude the FE isn't even 6 months old why are you buying another new phone?
@@Hali88 You are right in that I don't need to upgrade. However, I use my phone a lot for my job. Having the extra size and processing makes things a little easier and saves time. Also, buying the phone has no impact on my financial wealth. It's not ground breaking. But if you have money laying around, it's a worthy investment.
@@JamesDThomas1981 how long does the fe take to charge from dead to 100% if you happen to know? Thanks & if I had the money I would be buying them that often as well 😉

Would you still buy the S20 FE with the screen touch issue problem. People have reported this issue and the 3 updates haven't totally fixed the it, which makes it sounds as thou it's a hardware not a software issue. Whats your thoughts on this. Love your reviews.
Best camera comparison Ive seen so far, well done!
Shout out to Thao, Tori, and JoJo.
Great review...thanks. Budget wise, I think I will go with the S20 fe. To me it seems very close but at half the price.
Love your presentation style. Keep up the good work 😀
I ended up getting the S20 FE cause of the expandable storage, and I got a really good deal on a 2 year plan. I pay like 15 bucks a month for 24 months on top of my bill which is already cheaper than my old one. So I end up paying like 300 bucks for a way more expensive phone.
I got the S20 FE 5G a month ago and am mostly pleased. One thing that has bothered me is, coming from the Note 9, I am finding the display seems more washed out and colours are not as vibrant and saturated as the Note 9s display. Not sure if this is what Samsung intended, or whether the display on my FE is faulty? It has made me consider ditching the FE and going for the S21+ although the lack of SD card is a big minus there too.
I agree, It's definitely not as vibrant.
@@thao Is the S21s display as good as (at least) or better than the Note 9, and more on par with the Note 20 Ultra? It's such a pity Samsung increased there prices so much as I have been a Note user since the original Note (people used to tease me back then as it was a 'Phablet'). I would have 100% gone for the Note 20 Ultra if not for the price.
If display is important to you, and you plan on getting a different phone than you should out the Note10 plus or the S21 plus.
I'm agree with that, S20+ is a nice option IMO
Samsung has dropped color saturation. I believe S8/N8 gen to be the most colourful ever, and then it fades from 9 to 10 generation.
I got S20 FE 5G WITH SNAPDRAGON last december and iam very happy with my decision👍👌🔝

Would you go with the s20 fe or s10?
I ended up getting 2 s20 fe . the main thing that got me was the expadable memory. I dj and get alot of music on the go
Ended up going with the the S20 FE 5G 8gb ram 256gb storage with a 512gb sd card. Holding onto this for now until I see what exynos with AMD graphics can do along with next year's snapdragon. For a bigger better upgrade.
Great video. ❤️
Love your channel. Iphone 12 vs S21 ?
I got an S20 FE simply because despite the S21 Exynos (only version available in my country) being slightly higher on Antutu I simply trust Snapdragon processors way more than Samsung's Exynos processors. It also gives Samsung less ways to tamper with your device's performance and Snapdragon is a lot more stable. The S20 FE screen is also bigger, has better battery life, is thicker/more durable and has expandable storage unlike the S21
keep in mind before you buy this phone and other phones...the s21 s21+ without sd card no 3.5mm no QUHD no high ppi no infrared no charger no headphones no battery enhancment.
Never ever trust a youtuber.
We want a compact flagship phone with all specifications.
Hi. Can you please compare the Plus with the Ultra please? No one's doing this.
