Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G vs Samsung Galaxy S22
Our Verdict: The Galaxy S20 FE 5G and the Galaxy S22 are two years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The S22 5G leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the S20 5G Fan Edition's 12MP, and the S20 5G Fan Edition has the bigger battery of the two, 4500mAh against 3700mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The S20 5G Fan Edition has the bigger screen at 6.5" against 6.1", while the S22 5G has the sharper one at 422 PPI, and the S22 5G is the lighter phone at 167g against 190g. The S22 5G is the better phone; upgrade from the S20 5G Fan Edition if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
Buying outright, the S22 5G starts at £149 SIM-free.
