Good phone with decent processor but heats up easily. Galaxy A52s 5G with 6nm 778G runs 5 fps faster and holds performance longer under heat than S20 FE 5G.

Hello. I bought the Exynos version in Brazil at launch and used it for a month. Had many problems: slow touch, overheating, battery drain, audio sync issues. Returned to my old S7 Flat for weeks. Later, a friend gave me an S20FE 4G from abroad. It was much better, more stable after updates. I still use it after 5 years. Good SoC and better thermal control. Not for heavy gaming though. Cameras are okay but limited dynamic range in bright light. Gcam support helps. Screen is okay but hard to see in strong sunlight. Build quality fits an entry-level flagship. Battery is weak even new, worse now. Any modern phone with 5A charging beats it. One UI features are good. Dex mode saved me when my laptop broke. Using USB-C hub, wireless mouse, and keyboard, I had a portable PC. Bought controller for emulators and cloud gaming; needed a cooler for these. All these gadgets cost less than a new laptop here. If buying used in 2025, avoid Exynos version, especially in hot climates like Brazil. Samsung support ends October. Can handle One UI 6 but Samsung stopped updating S20 line.
