The Samsung Galaxy S20 range landed months ago, but a model could still be coming, because there are rumors of a Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite (or a Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition as we could call it). It appears to be a cheaper and probably slightly inferior alternative to the standard Samsung Galaxy S20, but like the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite before it, it's likely still a very powerful phone. Thanks to the leaks, we have an idea of when we might see the Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite, as well as some of the features and functionality it could offer. You'll find it all below, and we'll be sure to update this article as soon as we hear anything new, so check back often.
Come to the point
- What is it? A cheaper alternative to the Galaxy S20
- When did it come out? Maybe october
- How much will it cost? Probably more than € 650 / € 579 (around AU € 940)
Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite release date and price
Our best guess as to when the Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite could land is October, as sources speaking to ETNews have suggested. However, they did not offer a specific date, and it is also unclear if that is when the Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite will be announced or when it will go on sale. This distinction is notable, as Samsung is hosting an online event on August 5 where we expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, and it's possible that other devices, including the S20 Lite, could also be in attendance. So maybe it will be announced in early August and then go on sale in October, even if that would mean a huge gap between the two. Of course, we're not even sure that October is correct, since only one site made this statement. It should also be noted that the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite landed this year, with an announcement in January and a sale date in February, so there's still a chance we were waiting until the start of 2021 for the Samsung Galaxy S20. lite. Regarding pricing, there's no word on that yet, but for reference, the Galaxy S10 Lite costs $650 / £579 (roughly AU$940) at launch, so the S20 Lite could be similar, although it could also cost more, with smartphone prices generally on the rise.Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite Name
Although we tend to call this phone the Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite, it should be noted that the main sources of information so far have called it the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition or S20 FE. Some call it that exclusively, and one says "Fan Edition" is the internal name, but it's unclear if it will be called that, the S20 Lite, or something else at launch.Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite design and display
We still don't know anything about the design of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite, but according to SamMobile, it will come in shades of blue, white, and light purple. As for the display, @Boby25846908 (a leaker who doesn't have many records yet) tweeted that it would have a flat Full HD Super AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It would be a downgrade from the Galaxy S20, as you'd expect. . Although the source notes that it is not sure about the refresh rate, it can support 120 Hz like the rest of the range.Oh wait, wait! The main S20 FE sensor is the GN1 50MP, the same sensor as the vivo X50 Pro +. My bad? https://t.co/x0fp3NcIV38 July 2020
