Well, this is an unexpected surprise – Samsung quietly launched a ‘Galaxy S20 FE 2022’ model in its home country. No, this isn’t an April Fools joke, even though the device seems to have appeared on KT and LG Uplus on April 1 (by the looks of it, it won’t be available on SKT).
As far as we can tell, this is identical
to the original Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon 865 chipset and all), except that
the AKG headset has been removed from the retail package and the price has been
dropped by KRW 200,000.
The final price is KRW 700,000
(US$ 575/€ 525), though most buyers will likely get a carrier subsidized version.
You will recognize the new model by its model number, SM-G781NK22 (or just
SM-G781NK in some places). Only the Cloud White, Cloud Lavender and Cloud Navy
colorways are available. The odd thing is that KT is offering a free AKG
headset for those who buy before the end of April, which makes this just an
elaborate way to offer the original Galaxy S20 FE 5G with a discount.
We haven’t seen an official announcement
from Samsung yet. There is no sign of this 2022 edition in other countries
either.
