Samsung launches in Korea an latest version of the Galaxy S20FE under the name Galaxy S20FE 5G 2022. Confused? You are not alone, like many in the industry who have raised an eyebrow and wondered why Samsung does this. The new model comes under the code SM-G781NK22 or SM-G781NK and costs 700,000 Won which is about $ 572. The new price is 200,000 Won cheaper (approx. $ 164) From the first generation.
In terms of generational differences, it is difficult to find substantive, if any. Model 2022 comes with dual SIM support (vs. single SIM), 405ppi pixel density (vs. 407ppi) and only one 6/128GB memory configuration. One last difference is in the variety of colors that the device comes in which includes white, purple and light blue Cloud White, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Navy. The colors green, orange and red have disappeared from the range of colors available. Beyond that it is the exact same device in all the data such as processor, photo array and battery.
Estimates suggest that this is Samsung’s marketing method that allows it to lower the price of a device without “damaging” its image. The old device remains as it is and at the same time has released a new edition which will be sold cheaper. The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is considered a Samsung sales hit despite a number of significant glitches that have been in it and it seems that Samsung wants to continue riding the wave with the launch of the new model. The device is currently on sale at 2 mobile operators in Korea only and it is estimated that this name will be stopped and will not expand to the rest of the world.
