I've been given the option of swapping my current phone (Samsung A72) for a Samsung S20FE.

Spec wise, main things that appeal to me on the S20FE is wireless charging, and faster CPU..... the A72 has the macro camera and larger battery (not that I run out of battery in a day anyway).

Am I best to stay as I am with the A72 or would the S20FE be a nice side-grade ? :)

Been rocking the S20FE snapdragon for awhile now, good phone and very happy with it.

I have an @20FE snapdragon version as a back up handset. It is a good phone. Very good 120hrz display WiFi6 etc. However it is still sitting on the July1 security patch and wont update. I was purchased from Spark.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Whilst other countries are getting the September patch, same, stuck on July.

This is what keeps me away from Samsung for a primary device

Is the S20 FE on offer the SM-G780G Snapdragon 865 version, or the SM-G780F Exynos 990 version? If it's the SM-G780G, go for it, massively better than the A72 in meaningful ways.
