The Amazon Renewed Premium is a great program and well worth the extra $40 over the "marketplace" renewed options. My S20 FE 5G (unlocked) was factory reconditioned by Samsung to pristine, like-new condition. Seriously, it looks brand new in every detail. All packaging and accessories were new as far as I can tell. There was no charger.
I went with Renewed Premium to avoid any drama with old batteries (Samsung installs a fresh battery), old software (Samsung shipped this with Andriod 11, One UI 3.0), a less-than-pristine screen or other anomalies (read the marketplace renewed reviews). Although I think all smartphones are overpriced, I am happy with the value for money ($475).
The S20 FE 5G is slightly (2 mm) taller than the LG G8 it replaced but not noticeable during use. I probably have longer than average fingers, so there's that. Would not go any bigger than this 6.5" screen for sure.
I loved the LG G8 but along with abandoning the smartphone market, LG have also apparently abandoned their promise of security updates. As a result, I allowed the Borg to assimilate me and went with Samsung on the promise of 4 years of updates for the S20 FE 5G. I've already gotten 3 updates over the past three weeks. We'll see how that goes over the next few years but it's a promising start. Way better than LG ever was...
I do not really miss the quad HD screen from the LG G8 (maybe a little). The S20 FE screen is gorgeous and sharp. This is my first 120 hz screen and I'm hooked. "Buttery smooth" is not an exaggeration. I do miss the headphone jack but the Bluetooth implementation on the S20 FE is better than the LG G8 and music detail is excellent on my Bose Quiet Comfort II.
The phone came with the usual bloatware. I used Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to get rid of all the preloaded BS (just Google it, easy-peasy). The phone is lighting fast for everything I do. I'm not a big gamer, but I have been playing Genshin Impact on the S20 FE with high settings and zero problems. No lag, no stutter.
Some reviewers have complained about the optical finger print reader. Others like it. I have had zero problems with it. Works great. Not as fast as the capacitive button on the back of the LG G8 (a better place for it IMHO) but this one works just fine. Face unlock is even faster, if that's your jam.
The cameras are good also but the camera bump is ridiculous. A case is a must just so it can sit flat on a table. I got the TORRAS case. Nice and thin with adequate protection.
Bottom line: S20 FE 5G is excellent. Amazon Renewed Premium is excellent. Highly recommended.
