Samsung Galaxy S20 4G vs Samsung Galaxy S24 FE
Our Verdict: The Galaxy S24 FE is four years newer than the Galaxy S20 4G, and it shows in the specs. The S20 4G has a clearly higher-resolution main camera, 64MP against the S24 FE's 50MP, and only the S24 FE is a 5G phone; the S20 4G maxes out at 4G. The S24 FE has the bigger battery of the two, 4700mAh against 4000mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the S24 FE has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.2", while the S20 4G has the sharper one at 566 PPI. If you're on the S20 4G, the S24 FE is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Buying outright, the S20 4G starts at £180 SIM-free.
