The Galaxy S20 FE is so good for the asking price that the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ both seem insanely overpriced in comparison. And Samsung India may be aware of that and trying to move some units of the Galaxy S20+ before the Galaxy S20 FE steals all the limelight. That seems to be the only reason why the Galaxy S20+ is currently discounted by a whopping 40% in the country in what is perhaps the most attractive deal the company has ever put out in the world's largest democracy.
Right now, you can pick up the Galaxy S20+ for Rs 49,999 off Samsung's official website and through Flipkart. That's the same price that the Galaxy S20 FE retails for, and while the S20 FE is a fantastic phone, the S20+ is still the better-equipped option for that money. While the two phones are evenly matched on many specs, the Galaxy S20+ gives you a larger and brighter 120Hz display with Gorilla Glass 6 protection (the S20 FE has Gorilla Glass 3), a better selfie camera, and a 25W fast charger in the box along with Samsung's high-end AKG-tuned earphones (the FE doesn't come with earphones and has a 15W charger in the box).
The Galaxy S20+ (along with the S20 and S20 Ultra) is also likely to have an upper hand when it comes to software updates. The Galaxy S20 FE is promised to get three Android OS upgrades, but it hasn't been included in Samsung's Android 11-based One UI 3.0 beta program, which is a good indication that it will not be getting updates as quickly as the original three Galaxy S20 models. Indeed, the same is the case with the Galaxy S10 Lite, which is technically part of the Galaxy S10 lineup but gets both major and minor software updates a few weeks (sometimes a couple of months) late.
Again, while the Galaxy S20 FE offers unbeatable value at its retail price, the Galaxy S20+ discount is just too good to miss if you are looking for a new flagship phone and have a budget of Rs 50,000. Hit the links below to order yours before the deal runs out!
