the FE was over what my sis was already prepared to spend, I had to throw in to get it hence the deliberation. * +

Yeah I get you, I hope one of the next updates will sort it out, Samsung need to fix this or begin a replacement program. If the issues persist you may be able to get a replacement device, are people who have recently bought S20 FEs still having issues? Maybe a newer build of these FEs will be fixed, like ones that are built in early 2021 may have some of the hardware issues sorted. Looking at all other Snap865 and 888 phones, FE seems to be among a few with all that it has incl. Expandable Storage. * +

Android 9 seems to be the peak of things from a modding point of view, which was one of my key areas of interest. protect treble certification but without the new google system changes that make getting TWRP so tricky. headphone jacks still available.

at this stage it's about 50/50 between the unhappy and the satisfied. I'm nowhere near as unlucky as some, my phone was bought in March I think so 6 months after launch, direct from Samsung so not sitting on a shelf too long.

if I update and get the outdoor screen brightness issue I'll be considerably less happy. * +
