Why You Can Trust CNET Cyber Monday deal: The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE is down to $549
That's unlocked and with no activation requirement.
Save $100 on the all-new Galaxy S20 FE. It's unlocked, so you can take it to your carrier of choice.
The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition has arrived, offering Samsung, er, fans the chance to buy an S20 phone for hundreds less than the price of the flagship model. Good news: Now you can get it for even less than that.
For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon has the unlocked Galaxy S20 FE 5G 128GB for $549. It's available in five different colors at that price, which is $151 below retail.
So what's the deal with the S20 FE? In his story, Galaxy S20 FE is the affordable $700 phone we need right now, CNET's Andrew Hoyle provided this overview: "The price might be more affordable, but the key specs don't seem to have suffered all that much. There's a 6.5-inch, 2,400x1,080-pixel Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and a lightning-fast Snapdragon 865 processor."
I'm not sure I agree with calling a $700 phone "affordable," though obviously it's more so than a $1,000 S20. And at $549 it's definitely priced more like a midtier model.
Either way, a $150 savings right out of the gate, with no contract or activation requirement? That I can get behind.
