Snapdragon 865 Performance for $500 or less on sale, Beautiful AMOLED display with lots of brightness, Solid battery life, Decent camera array with AI digital zoom

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE undercuts the S20 on price but with similar specifications, where are the cutbacks?

Better price than S20, Better battery life than S20, Better performance than S20 (on 5G version)

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
