Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G will launch in India next week, according to a report by news agency IANS. The Galaxy S20 FE is the most affordable smartphone in last year’s Galaxy S20 lineup. Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE 4G variant in India last year in October. Even though the 5G model was announced for international markets, it did not make it to India last year.

Now, it looks like Samsung is gearing up to bring the Galaxy S20 FE 5G to India as well. Further, the report claims that it could be priced under Rs 50,000. It will compete with the likes of the OnePlus 9, which has a starting price of Rs 49,999, and Vivo X60 Pro at Rs 49,990. To recall, the Galaxy S20 FE 4G was launched at a price of Rs 49,990, though it is selling for much lesser, thanks to price cut.

The 5G variant is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone is backed by a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging, Qi wireless fast charging and Wireless PowerShare feature. However, Samsung bundles a  15W fast charger in the box.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G sports a polycarbonate back design. It gets three rear cameras including a 12-megapixel primary lens with OIS, a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. The front camera is a 32-megapixel one.
