August 11, 2025
TheGalaxy S20 FEis Samsung’s latest attempt to lure flagship buyers who don’t want to spend $1,000 on a premium phone. In ourreviewof the phone, we noted that it delivers superb value, a great design, and speedy performance, all for a price starting at $599. The good news is Samsung hasdecidedto launch a Fan Edition version of its flagship models every year.
All these factorsgot us thinkingif you would actually prefer buying Samsung’s Fan Edition phones over other Galaxy S flagships. Here’s how you voted in our poll.

Which Samsung flagship model do you see yourself buying?
A total of 1,236Android Authorityreaders voted on the topic, of which a resounding 58.5% said that they would buy the Samsung Galaxy Fan Edition over any other S series phone.

Meanwhile, many respondents also voted in favor of the vanilla Galaxy S series phone. In today’s terms, that would be theSamsung Galaxy S20. The results probably reflect that some people aren’t looking to spend over $1,000 for a Samsung flagship but prefer the upgrades they get in a standard S series flagship over the Fan Edition.
The Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Ultra models got the least number of votes in our poll — 12.4% and 8.2%, respectively. Currently, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is 45% more expensive than the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition. That probably explains why it’s got so few takers in our poll. The base S20 Plus variant was also over $1,000 ($1,199 to be exact) when the poll went out. However, the phone is currently selling for thesame $999 priceas the vanilla S20. So those looking to get the Galaxy S20 right now should consider getting the S20 Plus without having to pay more.
