Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, 128GB, Cloud Mint - Single SIM - Unlocked (Renewed)

I will be sharing with you my profound thoughts from examining this absolutely Fabulous S20 FE Samsung phone for you today....or night depending on when you read this review. I like that it's called FE. It just...... 'Feels Elegant' rolling off the tongue but what does the FE stands for? I am told it means Fan Edition. Yeeeaah, but based on my experience with the phone I think we could try something like Fun Everytime. Or Fully Enhanced. Orrr Foolish Endeavor, if you are hoping it has a 3.5mm jack. Or a Fools Errand, if you go searching for a 3.5mm jack… even in the SIM card slot. This S20 FE had better be good, as I hear that Samsung has lost a lot of market shares to some companies like Xiaomi that had some really powerful phones which had 3.5mm jacks. Xiaomi certainly would not have followed Mango, Orange or Apple who ditch the 3.5mm jack in an effort to boost Bluetooth sales...so I hear. If it's true I do hope Samsung doesn't do that with android users cause that might not go over too well...with EVERYONE...wink wink. Now let me tell you, I have a very calm, purring like a machine, foot loving, under my bed hiding, seemingly 3.5mm jack loving cat. Her internet name? Call her Scratchtastic. She has three jobs and she takes them very seriously. First job? Sleeping!! Second job? Eating!! Third job? Where is her 3.5mm jack at? When the Amazon box with the phone got here, I heard a strange sound. I wondered, is that growling I hear? Scratchtastic!!! What's wrong? Her look was telling me 'you better get that box outta here'. I'm like ...Crazy cat, it's got a 3.5mm jack. Duh. Folks, the phone came in a nice package and the phone lookTed really nice. Yeah and I know the word is looked. Anyhow, I set up the phone and copied my music to it. Wow!!! Let me tell you, I absolutely like the processing power of this Phone. I was sooooo excited, I was like let's get that 3.5mm jack headphone that knows how to push them beautiful sounds. Let's plug it into that 3.5mm.....where's the jack? I heard that strange sound again. Was this cat hissing again? Do you need some catnip or something? Ohh, the 3.5mm jack!! Now I knew why Scratchtastic was about to go Wolverine up in here, There is NO 3.5mm jack!!! Sad and upset at the same time, I thought Samsung, why??? Then I thought, maybe the camera will make things better. I mean, the camera is one of two main reasons why I buy a phone. The other is the 3.5 mm jack. But There is NO 3.5 mm jack!!! I tried using the zoom to see far away, but it didn't work anywhere near as good because ....There is No 3.5mm jack!!! I would have bought the overpriced S20 Ultra for the camera, but how can it take great pictures since... There is no 3.5mm jack!!! My music once sounded great on phones...& this phone sounds great & all but ...falls flat since...There is NO 3.5mm jack!!! Scratchtastic doesn't even look at me anymore....except you kno, when she needs her food. Samsung, how could you?! I couldn't test the wireless charging as Scratchtastic prefers wired charging like using a 3.5mm jack, but as we know...there is no 3.5mm jack. As a music producer, audio purity is crucial in my work. Using the 3.5mm on my phone to listen music files has been essential to great audio production ...but...There is No 3.5mm jack!!! Now the music is gone….now I'm simply called producer. Sigh!! Connecting this (unlocked) phone to the cell carrier was very simple and all worked well except I had a hard time hearing the customer service rep since the phone didn't have a .......you guessed it...a 3.5mm jack. The phone display is nice and is very smooth in motion. Can you imagine how much smoother it would have been with a 3.5mm jack?!!! And the battery?! Yeah, the size is great and last a day. But there is not a single doubt that it 'might' have lasted a whole lot longer, 'maybe' even a week if it had a 3.5mm jack. Hmmm, I hear a strange scratching sound in the kitchen like a chair is getting shredded, I better look. Scratchtastic? You awful cat!!! What you doing to the chair? Oops ...I mean sweet Scratchtastic. I see you looking at me. Yeah I'm walking away because I wanna. Sigh, this 3.5mm jack situation is tearing us apart!!! Folks the phone calls are clear and loud and the 5G is fast.....but I feel a 3.5mm jack would have gotten it over the speed hump to 6G speeds. I didn't play any games on this phone as I'm not a Bluetooth gamer.... I'm a 3.5mm jack gamer. All in all, this is a nice phone. It's fast and has a lot going for it. Scratchtastic seems to now urinate 3.5mm closer to the floor and her urine smell has risen 3.5mm higher. So with that said here is my conclusion about getting this phone: If you have a pet Iguana, it might love you for it. But if you have a cat like Scratchtastic and you want to keep your room door open when you go to bed at night, then the absence of the 3.5mm jack can absolutely cause issues for you. Even your kitchen chairs might turn up with unknown 3.5mm deep scratches. Buy with confidence.

I started getting notices from Sprint/TMobile that I needed to upgrade my phone to a 5G compatible phone by the end of the year. I went to the store and even though I had not upgraded my phone in 4 years there was no offers/discounts ( days of subsidizing phones really are dead but dang ). There was absolutely zero offers. Even the basic Samsung A32 was no longer offered as a free phone. I am not cheap but I am simply not willing to pay $800+ for a phone that will be outclassed in a few months. Started looking on Amazon for refurbished phone and the seller Last Of The Loot had the S20 FE for $400. Having read reviews from other buyers I knew was still rolling the die with complaints about scuff marks ( Not from that seller in particular but from refurb phone in general. I can accept cosmetic stuff since a refurb just means it functions to spec and blemishes to the case are something you can expect ), the phone being reported as stolen, the previous owner still owned money so it could not be unlocked, cracked screens, etc. I got this phone and when I opened the box it looked like it had never been used. Screen and case were pristine. It came with the owner's manual and a 15W charger. I know some people complain about that but this phone charges pretty fast and has pretty good power management so unless you are watching 4K videos all day or treating it as a portable game console the charge rate is really good IMHO. I don't have a wireless charger but am looking into it now. Phone is quite responsive in all aspects and the screen is simply gorgeous to watch videos on. Sound on the two speakers ( one at the top facing towards you and another at the bottom facing down ) is simply phenomenal. I had an HTC One when back in the day and I thought that sounded good. The difference in sound quality, volume and range of frequencies you can hear in the highs, mids and lows is like comparing $20 radio to surround sound. I have not delved into all the options in detail but I love the face unlock and fingerprint unlock options to secure your phone. Can't say too much about the camera yet since I have never been much of a picture taker but what I have seen so far it will definitely satisfy the average joe. Have used this phone as my daily driver for about 2 months now and have no had any issues whatsoever. I know that if you read some reviews and compare it to the S21 to upcoming S22 or S21 FE it will be another huge jump in performance and features but this looks like it will keep me chugging along for the next several years. If you want a newer phone but are on a budget or like me, you just find $1000+ for a phone to be ludicrous, this is good combination of price and performance.
