Thanks for watching!
Pixel 5 is basically a waste of money compared to the s20 FE and pixel 4a 5G so yeah...
I think I'd take the S20 FE for the telephoto camera, larger battery, and the faster processor
Galaxy S20 FE is better in all ways than in Pixel 5
I love pixel software so I think I would have to go pixel 5
Anytime s20 fe, Google's phone has been always junk
I can't believe you didn't used or even mentioned Pixel's Astrophotography when you took the pics of the night sky.
this how reviewers degrade the pixel lol, i feel all the reviews are manupulated
Ye it is an amazing feature, but using an api you can get the google camera app on almost any android phone, and it works. Rly well!
I know that the Fe is the better value but there's just something in the pixel that's calling my name
That small form factor!
@@HunchoDC yes!!
@@HunchoDC I was going to buy the s10e but then this came and I have to get it
Same man, idk what it is
@@ChrisMartinez-cv4cl I had an s10e which was great then I upgraded to the Oneplus 7t. So far it's my favorite phone ever but after a year of use I'm tired of big phones.
Pixel has a character that cannot be explained so it's the one for me
Exactly! Haha I get that the fe has great specs but it’s too big. Something about stock android in a smaller package gets me.
I totally get it that's why I have the 4a. the only reason I avoid Samsung is because they're trying to create their own alternative ecosystem and I don't need two messaging apps two email apps etc on a phone.
My Choice is The Galaxy S20 FE because of A Couple of Reasons:
1. The Screen
2. Performance
3. More Colors
4. Better Speakers &
5. The Wireless DEX (I Find DEX a Really Cool and Fun Operating System). ❤
@Windows Gamer 👌🏾❤
My Choice is the Pixel
Better camera
Better Software
Feature Drops
Exclusive software features
Day on OS updates
Unlimited Photo upload
Better build quality no plastic
thinner bezels
smaller lighter
Gorilla Glass 6
Physical finger print sensor
@@ssaini5028 UNDERSTANDA🅱LE
Software is too great on the Pixel to pass up. Samsung's OS variant just kind of sucks.
@@Bry.89 It's Just Your Opinion.
In England the S20 FE is £700 while the pixel is £600. The pixel also comes with BOSE QC 35 II headphones as a bonus so it's a no brainer here
The same in Ireland. I will sell Bose q35Ii for €190 and pixel 5 will cost me €439. Can't beat that.
In Portugal I bought the S20 FE 5G, with the Galaxy Buds+ and 4 months of youtube premium for 480€, while the Pixel 5 isn't even available in my country, it was a no brainer
@@feixas6961 same as I also received my S20 FE 4G Snapdragon with Buds+ and 2x Smartag. I only paid $450 for mine. It's a late buy so that contributes to the decreased in price too.
8:12 Did you try the Pixel's astrophotography mode?
I used the Pixel 3XL and the Pixel 4XL. I will be getting the Pixel 5 for me stock Android is the best. I really enjoy Googles products for my needs they are great.
love the wallpapers where do i find them and great video love the review
Shane, please tell ,me one thing. Should i upgrade from Samsung galaxy fit to fit 2?😕😕
Where'd u get the live wallpapers
Has to the Samsung S20FE by a mile. Better and faster and expandable UFS 3.1 storage vs old fixed UFS 2.1 on the Pixel, better chipset which becomes more noticeable over time, 120hz brighter screen on Samsung, bigger battery, and faster charging up to 25w, better colours, better sound, better cameras, (and only terrible digital zoom on Pixel) BTW, the battery can easily get through a day on 120hz. No need to worry about your battery life.
Can you tell me what's the name of the live wallpapers you use. Thx
Any noteable differences in the OS?
What are the wireless charging speeds?
Any thoughts on the Exynos version of the s20 fe
Where did you get those wallpapers!!
Love ur vids mahn, u deserve more subs!
Thanks for highlighting sound quality which is often overlooked by reviewers who dismiss it with the sentiment that everyone uses ear/headphones (and even then there can be differences). As for the Pixel 5, you did not mention the unique and useful software additions: call hold and call screening, plus immediate OS updates and ongoing rollouts of even more useful features (not gimmicks) over the life of the phone.
I've had both and they're great phones, I'm leaning towards my Pixel simply because of the stock Android and guaranteed updates quickly.
The s20 FE is also guaranteed 3 years of OS updates.
I totally agree with you!
@@m.ahussain4005 yes but it's not going to be as fast as pixel updates
@@903h00va That's subjective since security updates are given as fast on both phones. OS updates are kind of meaningless now since Google and Samsung drip feeds new features in their security updates.
I've had samsung phones my whole life and they are always slow with updates
hi,where can i get the mandalorian wall paper
WHAT LIVE WALLPAPER APP DO YOU USE IN THE VIDEO?
This is the best comparison between these phones that I have ever seen. Keep it up bro👍 you are doing great!
My man coming in with a video I specifically looked for. Your content is professional and informative. I always hope to see your video in the results.
Lol I always try to be in the results!
@@ShaneSymonds is the red really as dark as i see on the video? or is your background dark? I like to see dark red I have doubts for the red or the blue. if it is very dark red choice is red then .at 10.36 minute its nice color
Nice video, also where can I find the Mandalorian wallpaper?
really great job on the review mate. you've helped me make my decision .. FE
Love your videos so much dude! Keep going!!!
Thanks for the support!
Very good comparison! I currently have a Samsung Galaxy A50 but want a much very camera. I am considering the S20 FE. Is it a good option? Thank you
Apparently the S20 FE only has a virtual Proximity Sensor. I'm also finding that the screen is constantly light up during calls. I gave the FE a great review on my own channel, but now I'm finding a ton of issues
what's your OSRS name? I play it too.
So we just gonna ignore the fact he skipped over astrophotography mode on the pixel for the night time shots?
Can we get a link to the wallpapers
I've been a Google phone user since the Nexus 6P and this is the first time I've even considered a Samsung since my Samsung Moment in ~2010. On paper, it seems like a no brainer that the S20 FE is the superior device but I keep coming back to the clean, stock Android experience of a Pixel vs the bloated Samsung One UI
In Canada, these phones are priced differently, with a $300 CAD difference between them. Even the price disparity between the 4A 5G and the 5 are closer in Canada ($679 vs $799). It's as if Google wants Canadians to choose the Pixel 5.
ps. US residents would get the Pixel 5 for $580 USD if purchased in Canada
Really now? Hmm. Bouts start ordering from Canada lol.
Can you revisit the note 10 lite, now that Samsung themselves have dropped the price?(idk about us but in germany it is 449€ now, was 600+ before)
The pixels are looking a lot more tempting now with the recent change to the Google Photos free storage policy
I think you forgot to address what it is like to place a call on the device? Compare the 2 if there's a difference.
Excellent review as always.
Link for the wallpaper please
Can you do a case drop test and studio tour
Your video is very good.
But I'm still so hesitating between this two...
I like that overall very good experience proposed by S20 FE (camera, audio, screen) BUT the phone seems giant to me, ratio seems weird, and not a fan of OneUi (I'm a OnePlus user since OP1)
Google seems average everywhere, is the screen quality as good as FE ? You make clear that audio seems a very weak point !
But OS as pure Android seems good to use and close to what I know from OnePlus. And last point, the unlock at the back. Is it ok on everyday use ? Seems weird to me, like when the Phone is on table and you just want to switch music.
Any help or feed back appreciate !
the Pixel has a 90hz display and OLED. It’s pretty good compared to the S20 FE
It's kinda weird, but why didn't they just do top and bottom firing speakers on the Pixel 5? They could have kept the vibrating speaker in the screen and then perhaps added a speaker for mid-low range noises on the top or back to give it more oomph.
I'm still buying a pixel 5 though. I love the look of it and the software/camera.
Remember when apple made the iphone 7 $700 and that was expensive
Dude, these are still somewhat flagship, they still offer decent phones at a much lower price.
Cody $700 is still expensive especially in AU with taxes
If I were strictly basing the purchase off of the camera, both photo and video, which should I buy?
Pixel 5
How can I get backgrounds like that? I love those.
I wanted to ask that too 😊
The S20 FE supports 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. This is even though the charger in the box is only 15W. Honestly, for $13 for the charger, I can't complain.
What makes this the most compelling honestly is that both phones include chargers.
I really like that shark dancing wallpaper. Where can I find it?
Hope you get to 200k subscribers
Really no headphone jack in the s20 fe?? I have ear buds, but sometimes I still want to use my regular headphones, also my car is 2012 and in order to play it through the speakers I have to do a plug in through the headphone jack. I want this phone, but it's kind of a deal breaker.
I'm probably going with the Pixel 5 because it's size is perfect for my hand and pocket with a large screen due to high screen to phone ratio. Also google software updates and OI--over the life of the phone-- is so much better than competitors. My only hesitation is the speaker quality.
Large screen, please dont make me laugh. 6 inch screen maybe sounds big ,but that 19.5:9 screen ratio maiking it the same narrow as 4.7 inch (16:9) iphone 6.
@@lucaspanasski331 it's about how it fits in the one hand and pocket for me and the useful software features that keep coming with google and pixel 5 such as the when placed on hold you can set the phone to alert you whjen the holder comes on the line instead of waiting around with the speaker on.....however, i've decided to wait for the next pixel iteration, holding on to my pixel 3
Wait wait wait hold on. You really telling me the fe gets better astrophotography than the pixel? Your vid said night mode for both right? Was that JUST night mode on the pixel? Or was it specifically the astrophotography mode? Either way I'm surprised the fe gets the stars and I'm gonna go test that tonight but it would still be cool for clarification on this if possible.
For anyone curious, the FE does get some solid shots of stars on a clear night. I tried right outside of Boston and still got a good picture or two.
I tried once and it wasn't great. That being said it probably would've turned out better shooting on the main lense instead of telephoto and if I was properly dressed and not freezing cold... So proper stabilization on my part might've influenced the shot lol
@@ZachariaZuehlke yeah I set a timer and put it flat on the ground so it wouldn't move
@@MatyFattyDaddy right I would do that, but in my neighborhood I'd probably get my phone stolen lmfao
Full review of galaxy fit 2 pls
The Pixel 5 does not have Wi-Fi 6.
Thank you for the correction
I was thinking about these 2 phones, glad you made this video....
Nice job... I had to pixel 3A when it first came out but it started to get a little laggy after a year or more and so I think the Galaxy Fe is the better choice because the processor may not mean much right now but in a year or more it will mean something.
My Pixel 3a is running better than it did when Eye first bought it. Had it since release day. It's as good as my 4a
So what are the main differences between S20 FE and the regular S20? I haven't been following tech need lately 😅 anyway excellent video!
Glass vs plastic back, 8gb vs 6gb ram, 1440p vs 1080p screen. FE has bigger 4500mah battery vs the S20's 4000mah and same size as the S20+
live wallpaper link please
Pixel 5 has WiFi 6? Thought they omitted it this year per the website spec
I made an error. Thanks for pointing it out!
I love that you showcased OSRS because yeah, that's one of my main mobile games lol
I am a great user of Pixel phones (actually having the 3). I love small phones because I got tiny hands BUT I would like to try something with that FE 5G, with a big screen and stuff, also because its specs look more durable than the Pixel 5.
I'm in the same boat.
I've got these small hands....but those specs tho
Great content
And the Pixel 5 has that wonderful phone answering software that just kills off the phishing/bothersome calls!
i'll be picking up my S20 FE 5G UW from verizon tomorrow .
it's only gonna add $18 to my monthly bill .....
it'll be replaceing a pixle 2XL that still works perfectly fine but google decided to not support it already ! :( ....
thanks for sharing your experience . take care , jeff
I have neither. I use the note 20. But got it free from at&t
10:11 Best buddies 😍😍
For me the s20 FE is the clear winner, is just a more complete package and value. Wireless charging I like cuz sometimes my phone reads moisture on the port due to me having in moist environment so it won't charge, but if I place it on a QI pad it will charge. Also since I consume lots of media, a better speaker sound is better. I like the red color of the FE and I currently have an SD card so I don't want to get rid of it since 128gb it won't be enough for the next 3 years woth so much 4k 60 frame. The Pixel is 100 bucks too expensive
7:40 wait! I'm confused about what I hear and what I see.
This fell feels like a sneak peak of the s21
I feel like you're one of the only ones who compared these two phones that isn't actually shilling for Samsung. Respect.
Personally the pixels look so nice and clean but the difference in processor really shows :( which I think is one of the major reasons why most youtubers default to samsung in this showdown. The pixel 4a is a real beast though.
I've seen a lot of youtubers saying the pixel 5 is great. As a pixel fan, it left me disappointed though and I went with the FE.
@@Andrew-it7fb Compared to the 4a there is a slim difference. Different build material, slightly better processor and ram, a IP water and dust resistance rating, and .3 inches larger. All this for twice the price. The 4a is such a better deal and a great phone but the 5 was a flop.
@@jonyfanfan4126 the 4a 5g isn't a bad deal either. It has the same processor as the 5, better speakers and a bigger screen. No wireless charging though. I just didn't want to go down to a mid range phone.
@@Andrew-it7fb understandable. And I feel like the 4a 5g is in a position where you might as well get the the FE since its usually at 600$ ore les. With 120 hz and 865g processor along with wireless charging and ip dust and water resistant rating there. The extra hundred bucks are worth it! Google OS and camera software is nice but the rest of the phone is lacking for 500$!
I picked up my s20FE for $500 after trading in my cracked s8. They even set me up with a free fitwatch and case, great experience so far.
Where did you make the trade?
@@divertiti Samsung website
I think if your a Google fan you are definitely going to go with the Pixel 5 but if your somewhat neutral I think the FE provides a better experience esp given the 865 chip which won't feel as dated next year when newer chips are introduced..
Got a pixel but going back. You can have different ring and notification volumes!!!!!!! Why isn't this mentioned. It's the most basic function needed.
This channel needs 1m already! It's so underated.
I went FE as I have Buds+ and Gear S3 watch. Plus Samsung gave me $350 for S9+ so my cost was $350!
Wow great deal!
Same..... got $400 for s10e. Making FE only $300.👍
My gear s3 always has connection issues with my 2 xl. I'm hoping it'll do better with a samsung phone.
@@Andrew-it7fb make sure you update the watch software via the Wear app! I was have random drops of connectivity but it has stablized.
@@rmpain yep, I've done that
I want pixel phones because of its regular updates
To be fair when I had my S9 I was getting monthly security updates and now all Samsung’s flagships will get three Android/One Ui updates which is much better.
@@marcgardner868 Imagine 3 years of Android and Security update, thats more than enought. I believe people change their phone after 2/ 3 years.
Im planning to buy FE with EMI
Pixel 5 all day long software experience unrivaled you'd have to switch to ios to get that experience
I kept pausing all along just to stare at those gorgeous symmetrical bezels of the Pixel
Shane symonds reviews always better than the everyone on UA-cam. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
as a gamer I believe I'll benefit more in samsung s20 fe but for photography I go for pixel
I would go with the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.
i dont really complain too much if its audible in a room watching youtube or something if i wanna go all out i just use the jbl flip or the google home for music. i had a note for anyone who was on the fence of cheap or flagship, the note 20 to me does better at night due to its super sized sensors. night sky its usually a blurry mess, and between day shots of a pixel and note 20 the pixel destroys it in most situations for some reason i always have this slight blur while using the note that doesnt exist on the pixel.
Not a fan of the fingerprint lock on the back of the pixel 5, not good if using a cover or case. Very good review. Thank you.
The fingerprint reader on the back of the Pixel is the number one reason that I bought it. All cases and covers for the Pixel 5 have a hole cut out which guides your finger easily to it. It means that in these days of compulsory mask-wearing, I can reach into my pocket and have the phone unlocked even before I have it in front of me. Plus - the smaller size of the Pixel 5 makes it easier to carry and use in one hand. I do admit that the S20 FE is a great phone too, especially at its price. Still, for the simplest, most minimal experience, pure Android on Pixel phones is my preference, and I like the way Pixel phones render photos.
Asus Rog phone 3-" *holdmybeer* "
Brooooo the pixel five looks like one of my bathroom tiles
you stole that...
Still better than plastics.
The S20 FE as I see it is a pretty solid side-grade from my burned-in, cracked-screened, battery-worn Note 8 after a couple of years of Samsung decisions that I couldn't justify a wallet vote for.
Google made another phone with the selling point of "...you'll be surprised how well it does with so little?"
Forgiveness Edition wins. Good dog, Samsung.
Side grade? Id call it an upgrade in all areas minus the S pen and headphone jack.
I'm in the same boat. My note 8 battery just doesn't hold up to a full day 3 years later and the burn in is getting more noticeable. I'm pretty sure I'll go with the Fe, seems like the best bang for the buck right now.
I like the look and feel of the Pixel 5, 6 inch screen, but smaller overall size. I also like having stock Android without any bloatware.
Samsung S20Fe 5g or, Google 5 5g Please tell which is better plz help me { i am indian}🙏
If you are an indian living in India, you dont have both for sale. only s20fe 4g variant is up for sale in india.
@@docharshnetram main Apne brother se mangwa raha hun ok
After loving my original Pixel XL for 4 years I actually switched to the FE due to the delay in production of the Pixel 5. After watching this, the ONLY reason I would be swapping back to a Pixel XL is the back fingerprint scanner... but I've decided against that! I just found out Samsung offers similar security features like "stay unlocked at home," so I don't really need a scanner, and I was able to grab the FE for $100 cheaper through an early Amazon sale.
I had the fe very nice phone. But was just a bit to big for me.
I have this red Galaxy s20 fe, and its awesomeness.
Went with the FE simply because of the Processor .
That processor is not going to matter because Google's software makes Samsung's software look like crap. So pretty much the little better processor doesn't matter if the software is trash
My choice will be Galaxy S20 FE next year when its even cheaper lool for now I'll keep my Note 10 Lite
Cheap ass
@@nownow1681 shut up
*S20FE DA BEST* 💙
Seriously pixel is too boring and too basic and way to small
pix5.
1. size (deal breaker for me)
2. fingerprint scanner (not deal breaker, but close)
3. 90hz screen, don't mind 120, but prefer battery life benefit
4. night mode capability
add headphone jack and microsd and it'd be my perfect phone.
where do i get this cute animated shark wallpaper
You forgot the most importat thing in S20 FE- it has expandable storage
nexus6 > nexus 6p > pixel 1 > pixel 2 > pixel 3(current phone, battery horrible, need new phone) > pixel 4 (skippped it due to no fingerprint scanner and poor battery) > pixel 5 or FE?
might go with the FE. Cant spend 700 on a phone with shitty stereo speakers and a camera sensor from 2018. What do you guys think? I only plan on keeping the next phone I get for a year so updates and battery longevity dont mean anything to me
I got the S20 FE for $380 + silicone case + galaxy fit 2 + 6 months of spotify ÷ 6 months youtube premium with a pixel 3a trade in of $225. Samsung did it right this year with the fan edition.
Wow, u really got a great deal...
Wow, they only offer me $50 for my 2xl
I got my S20 FE for $149.99 after trade in, and price match from Amazon. I got $450 for my S10+, and $100 back for price matching Amazon. I also got the Moga Xbox Controller, and Fit2. The total was $225.54.
S20 FE 💪🏼.
