Samsung Galaxy A20e - User Reviews

  • battery garbage. Lol

  • I think may have plastic screen Mmmm!

  • No double tap to wake screen...

  • Can hide notch in display, makes one handed better

  • I have been a Sony Xperia fan for years but when given the chance to get a Samsung Galaxy a20e on a cheap contract with sky mobile I decided to jump ship, What a great move it turned out to be, Battery life is with moderate to heavy use at least two days, and has fast charging Camera is excellent Size is just right for fitting in your hand Dual SIM, Has finger print sensor Vibrant screen A truly excellent phone that won't cost the earth Highly recommended

  • Or throw it lol

  • I know only thing, but has vibrate message etc..of missed. hoping aod comes. But for 90pounds can live without lol

  • NO led notifications, NO Always on Display

  • Then why apps are saying lithium-ion?

  • Li-Po

  • Li-Po or Li-ion?

  • Triple tap

  • Use this

  • Pros: Great displey for price, you don't need to press super hard while using screen cover, so its responsive to light touch. Good performance for daily use, I haven't tried games on it but it work great even with 16+ tabs open in web browsers. Very snappy and responsive. Great battery time, lasts 2-3days while using it moderately. Cons: Randomly the internet connection drops to painfully slow speeds, 800ping and 40kb/s or just dies completely even tho its clearly connected to 3G. Especially annoying and noticeable when tethering with a laptop. 6/10

  • Is there a way to wake up screen without pressing the button from the side or using fingerprint?

  • Yep same love battery distance!!

  • Just import! unlocked easy!

  • it's not available on saudi arabia....is it???????

  • i have that on my phone. sorry, i dont know what to do about it

  • That's a carrier thing ask them!

  • can anyone tell me why voice mail cannot be turned off withing my phone settings

  • Ive not done that but generally no!!

  • Do you guys also get an overheating error message when listening to music at full volume connected to external audio device (f.e. car stereo)? Very annoying

  • Good nothing wrong, just wish I knew if people used a different tempered glass

  • I am using it for 2 months now and for the things you mentioned it is incredible. Fluid and my battery lasts for 2 days without reaching 0%. Fast charging is the cherry on the cake. Camera is decent for this price range. You wont regret it.

  • So for a budget mobile for calls, texts & the odd bit of surfing is it a good mobile? What do those that use it think of it?

  • Anyone with this phone you think screen thing on?, I'm not sure . Has anyone put their own Tempered glass on?....and it worked thanks

  • Did you try swapping sim tray?, go to network registered on network. No i have no such issues! its great. Is your VOLTE on for 4g calls.

  • I am using it for about 40-50 days and nothing from the things you mentioned. Actually the phone works quite good. I am very happy with it.

  • Very unhappy with this phone, heats up when using it after approx 4 mins, when speaking to someone after a few mins the sound fades and they unable to hear me. Cannot receive a call or send texts in most areas of the house , this is not a reception issue, other family members have samsung phones and they've no problem, only seems to be with this particular model. Took it back to shop, said it may be the sim which they replaced but it has not solved anything. Anyone else encounter any of those issues...

  • I doubt it has water resistant but this price from Samsung, it might have basic sealant but I wouldn't trust it near water

  • Did Samsung use Gorilla Glass on the Galaxy A20e ? Water resistant ?

  • What charget you using? Mine doesn't ever get hot even charging?. What app is it knocking off???

  • Iv had this phone for 2 days iv already sent 1 back the first day as it kept saying phone overheating and knocking me of my app

  • Found answer came with pre-installed one already on.

  • in dialer, caller id spam greyed out how get it to work??

  • Anyone get a tempered glass to fit, the edge has air down sides of screen, i cant find one that fits perfect

  • its good

  • At last I have a phone with a great battery,which lasts 2 days, Camera is very good and a nice size,Another bonus is that it takes 2 sims All in all a nice relatively cheap phone that does everything that you would want and the added bonus is the battery life, with quick charge capability,

  • I just picked this phone up today as a works mobile, mine is definitely a 7884 , just checked

  • your english is perfect!

  • No 60 fps option.

  • does this phone have the facility to add ringtones to contacts as well as pictures?

  • Does have fast charging , but no AOD sure you have right phone :P

  • No AOD person below maybe seen something else.

  • Can Samsung Galaxy A20 record slow motion videos ? Is there an AOD?

  • Just checked update downloaded latest no AOD in display?. where in yours is it?

  • Amazing for the price. £179. 189 if pay as you go. Feels like the s9 with its features. For the price it's an AMAZING phone. Fast charging. Amazing battery. Great storage. All what's needed really.

  • I believe that's just your phone. Get it checked out.

  • I have this pohne for 2 weeks. When idle battery temperature is 24-29 C. In use it goes up to 37. I dont play games or do much multitasking. While browsing or watching video area around camera and fingerprint scanner become warm. Is that normal? Sorry for my bad english.

  • Samsung please release this A20e or A40 to Asia for smaller Asian hands.

  • Got it yesterday . It has fast charging and battery life is amazing . Mine has always on display since the last update .

  • No it doesnt! only A30 you must be seeing something else.

  • Does anyone here knows when are they going to start selling Samsung Galaxy A20e in the Philippines? Sorry for the english.TIA

  • Its new phone 200 euro then there is lg stylo and huawei p smart in 150-200 category

  • Bought one today (in Portugal), and it has always on display

  • I just bought one today, and yes, it has always-on display. There's no wireless charging or fast-charging, but it's hard to imagine a better phone for the price.

  • No maybe come update.

  • Please help me. Which phone to buy? Samsung galaxy A20e,Huawei Y6 2019, huawei P20 or Huawei honor 9 lite..

  • this has usb-c charger, not micro usb as some people think. ive had this phone 2 weeks and its great. not as great as my old s9 (but i needed a functional replacement,after my samsung s9 got dmaged beyond repair).

  • Hey hun you can just download a app that has all the fm stations. Hope this helps

  • Turns out there is a button in the menu when you swipe down from the top. I guess I missed it last time because I was looking in the Settings/Display, as on my other Samsung phones. So, bottom line -- there is indeed blue light filter on the A20e, but it is not customizeable as on the Samsung A3 (2017) or the S10e. It is just an on/off setting, and the user cannot adjust the strength of the filter, or turn on/off based on a schedule.

  • Please show how you activate blue light filter on A20e? The manual (https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/SM-A20­2FZKDBTU/) seems to indicate it is available on the A40 only. Thanks

  • I've got one of these and it has both: blue light filter and dark mode. It also has face recognition as well finger print sensor.

  • Sadly it’s inconclusive

  • Got one of these on contract. Only used it less than a day so far. Seems OK. One BIG drawback (for me) -- there is NO blue light filter/night light/reading mode or whatever you want to call it. There's the dark theme, but not sufficient, I think.

  • A40

  • someone can tell me if this cell pfone connect usb-C to hdmi? thanks

  • Camera is very nice like samsung camera 😊 This is the first week i use this model and the batery has a long duration. About 24 hours but sure it depends from the app you use. For me it's very good

  • a20e

  • a40

  • Pls help A20e or A40??

  • I have a "german" A20e with Exynos 7885 instead 7884 (btw there is no 7884 on Samsung homepage ...) and its ok so far .. Had a Galaxy Alpha from 2014 before until screen broke .. Battery keeps up 2 days normal use and pix r midrange so far. The PLS screen is ok, but the colours on Alpha's SuperAMOLED screen was better.

  • messed up my xperia z1compact ... dont have the money for the xz2compact so the retailer advised me this samsung model. its fast, looks nice and for this price €179 I only can say gg samsung

  • Hi. Has anyone yet bought this phone? Is it possible to listen to built in FM Radio app through Bluetooth headset? (using the normal headphones as an antenna, ofcourse) Because, it's not possible with an other 2018 phone I've bought.

  • I am looking for compact budget phone. A20e seems to be one of these, but there aren't many reviews and user oppinions on it. I wish to know is it good in everyday tasks for average user (calls, txt, music, e-mail, net, youtube).

  • someone pls talk to me about the camera and performance and battery.

  • Badly priced between A40

  • You can check a40

  • Need 4gb ram in this size.

  • It is in the UK..but seems more $$

  • When will this be released?

  • Agree in netherlands its priced $137 crazy! A40 is $340 some difference both very smiliar in size look

  • Very similar in size and weight to the Samsung A40. But priced lower with screen, ram, storage, wifi specs a step below the A40. Again Samsung really needs to speed up its release and ensure wider availability.

  • Not Humungous! good storage sick of 16GB! fast charging 3gig ram battery ok , weight not like a brick, do me fine for what i do and cheap $$$

  • Apart from AMOLED though, its better storage/battery though than A3. Pie etc... Id prefer even to use this.

  • I guess the only worthy successor is a Galaxy S phone (no plus) like S8, S9, S10e

  • Help ive read this is released anyone seen unit ??

  • When band says LTE but no figures whats' that mean?.....works everywhere???

  • Whats A3 sucessor??? A40 or..........

  • This is a J3 (not A3) successor

  • any weight yet?.

  • Probably be ok for text/calls etc not PUG god not everything need pug!! i mean for $120 or whatever rokin 9.0 who cares! waiting for this or A10e.........to decide........

  • PLS TFT LCD which is in fact a more advanced version of IPS LCD - better colours deeper blacks and that stuff...

  • And bettter screen. And less bezels. And Finger print in screen or face id that works just as well as appla (security-wise)

  • Dude, your words: my thoughts exactly. Funny to note that I also switched from iPhone to A3 (2017) which I bought approx. 200 Euros in Vietnam with double-sim. Honestly, if you give me that exact same phone with a better camera and more storage (16GB in 2017 was already too low, in 2019 it's just not enough and I can't extend it with SD card as I need that 2nd SIM card), I'd be more than happy to buy it. Almost 2 years later my phone still does 2 full days of standard use, or 1 full day of *intensive* use which I honestly don't think many other phones can do, old or new... Samsung, I wish you would read these comments as I see them everywhere on the web!!!

  • Micro-USB ?!? WTF Samsung, come on! We are in 2019, I thought USB-C was a given now. Apparently not, how depressing... Also, A20e is 147.2mm tall with a 5.8inch screen, whereas the A40 is practically 3mm shorter yet has a 5.9inch screen... Again: WTF Samsung?

  • I dont think AOD either :(

  • Hopefully weight less than A40

  • 5.8 yet taller than A40 Hmmmmmmmmmm

  • Ok :( Maybe ill go A40 ...only few $$ more!

  • pls tft lcd, actually

  • Need dimensions weight

  • Is this IPS LCD? or just LCD confused.

  • Only by 12ppi cmon now lol........its price is probably $100 cheaper than A3 was...so and you get PIE one UI and bigger screen! More storage! ram!! bigger battery! its fine!

  • Looks like a crappier successor to Galaxy A3(2017). -(not)compact. -a notch. Yeah, "upgrade to galaxy". -1080p video recording in 2019. Good job Samsung! -selfie camera is inferior(?), according to the spec sheet -likely not waterproof -less ppi than the 2017(lol) -Micro USB? Normally I'd say that's a mistake in the spec sheet. But then again, The A6 has it! Well, I guess I'll keep my A3 forever. I feel betrayed by Samsung, I was so pleased with their product when I switched from the iPhone. They did the best smartphones in my opinion and didn't follow Apple's stupid designs while other manufacturers brainlessly copied it. But now they do huge phones with notches and... Behold! Holes in the screen! Why are people content with atrocities like that?!? I simply don't understand.

  • Samsung be making lots of devices lately

  • Micro USB in 2019?

  • I hope so

  • This smaller than. A40
