Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition vs Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G

Our Verdict: For Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G versus Samsung Galaxy A56 Enterprise Edition, the recommendation depends mostly on what you want from the hardware. The Enterprise Edition is ahead for display quality, with its Super AMOLED panel, a higher-resolution 50MP rear camera, and a larger 5,000 mAh battery; the FE 5G is the better match for its Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen panel, a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, and 128GB to 256GB storage. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The Enterprise Edition is the better fit for display quality, while the FE 5G is the one to consider for camera hardware.

If you'd rather pay up front, the S20 5G Fan Edition is the cheaper buy at £149 SIM-free.
