Where to get the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G dual-SIM SM-G7810? - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Similarly to the Note 20 Ultra, and as I suspected, the HK/LATAM version of the S20 FE (SM-G7810) is dual-SIM, Snapdragon, and 5G. I had hoped it would have 256 GB of storage like the Note 20 Ultra (to compensate for the loss of expandable memory when the hybrid SIM slot is occupied), but this doesn't appear to be the case. Looks like it might have 8 GB of RAM, but this would have to be verified as other S20 FE listings have been wrong about this. Anyway, Wondamobile is the only place I see offering it for pre-order so far, but their price, etc. is not the best at least from a Canadian perspective:

I see that Never MSRP is now offering this model on eBay, with 8GB of RAM: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203157849135
Will wait to see if an 8GB/256GB version is offered - maybe by then Samsung will have the touch screen issues sorted as well...

S10e Exynos 8GB/256GB version?

The Exynos 6GB/128GB model is readily available, but I haven't seen the higher capacity version for sale. Both storage versions of the SD variant are available. Anyone recall hearing anything about the 256GB Exynos S10e being delayed or vaporware?
I would of loved the 256gb model just for the storage. The 8gb I noticed no difference in my regular s10 I had to my 6gb s10e.
Actually, looks like there is no 256GB version of the Exynos variant. Dang.

S10 sd 855 in ireland? EE prefairably

Is there anyway of getting the sd 855 varient in ireland? Iv got the s10e exynos but im sending it back to get the s10 or s10+.
You would need to order it online from a country that sells the snapdragon variant
Loads of EU sellers that have S10 855 in stock, check ebay
Yeh, I got my S10 SD855 from Amazon International.

Discrepancy in RAM listed

Samsung and Best Buy show it has 6 GB RAM, Amazon and B&H show 8 GB RAM. Given that there's an Unlocked Sub-6 5G model, a Verizon UW model, European 4G and 5G models, it would be nice to get clarification on which models get what specs.

Phonearena says the non-5G (exynos EU) variant has 6GB of RAM
German reviewer who has an Exynos sample in hand said only 256gb version will have 8gb.
US models should only have 6GB. Only in China and EU with 8gb variants w/ 256gb
The model sold on Samsung is the same Amazon 8GB/128GB. I chatted with the Samsung eCommerce customer service to confirm.
Here is how I got the better deal in my opinion compared to Amazon

The Samsung UK site says 8GB and the US site says 6GB.
I sent a DM to Samsung UK and they said it is 6Gb for 4G model (Exynos) and 8Gb for 5G model.
Not sure I believe it to be honest. Both 4G and 5G in the UK come in 128Gb ROM size, no 256Gb option here.
What a mess .... I too don't understand the 6G/8G confusion.
In Europe the 5G (Snapdragon variant) is listed everywhere as having 6GB of mem.
No official specs on Samsung site?
In france it's the same thing, 6GB even with the 5G version.
And on Samsung shop, there's the 128GB + 6GB Ram for 5G and no mention of 256GB version, only a 512GB but not available !
I'm expecting 6GB of RAM and definitely so scattered with info
According to a staff member at bhphoto, the USA S20 FE 5G version sold in New York City site is 8GB, despite the website still listing it as 6GB. We have no idea what to expect

After speaking with Samsung UK online sales
All UK models come with 6Gb RAM. Their website incorrectly states 8Gb and has been reported to be fixed
You are right
It is 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.
The UK site says 8GB under the AP and RAM bitnon the site, it's wrong though
Not 100% sure but after doing some research I have found out that in Europe model number : SM-G781BZBHEUB is for snapdragon with 8/256gb. SM-G781BZRDEUB is for Snapdragon 6/128 and SM-G780FZGDEUB is for Exynos 6/128. Where the letter after Z stands for the color. Like SM-G781BZBHEUB is blue. And please correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know about the non EU versions but all the models mentioned above are sold example on the website of Proshop.de
Per a Samsung rep, the U.S. variant will have 6GB. Which is fine for me.
Unbelievable something like model / ram configuration so simple can be so confusing.
It's either Samsung is doing this intentionally fogging things up or they are really doing a crap job at putting these information out.
My US, T-Mobile phone has 6gb of RAM.
I have a retail UK device. It's the 5G model SM-G781B and it has 6GB RAM.
I received my preorder yesterday and it's the Snapdragon 865 version (UK) it has 6GB RAM / 128GB
I just ordered the SM-G781BZBHEUB, which should be 8/256. If anyone has new info on whether this 5G snapdragon version has 6 or 8 gigs of RAM it would be very appreciated so I can cancel the order before it gets shipped. I'm not going to buy a 6 gb ram phone in 2020, there's just no future-proofing in that.

Question Unlocked S21 Ultra or AT&T-locked S22 Ultra?

I can upgrade my current unlocked S21 Ultra (purchased straight from Samsung) to the brand-new S22 Ultra through work, but that S22 Ultra will be locked to AT&T. After selling my S21 Ultra, this would basically be a no-cost upgrade for me. Would you do that, or stick with the S21 Ultra? I'm not really interested in the S-Pen, so that alone wouldn't be a reason to upgrade for me.
My current S21 Ultra is the U.S. 12/256 GB version (so Snapdragon).
Thanks!

I'd keep the s21 if it's the 16gb version otherwise I'd go for the s22

It's the 12/256 GB S21 Ultra.
Would the fact that the S22 Ultra is locked to AT&T vs. my current unlocked S21 Ultra be a deal-breaker for you?

Flash S20 firmware to s20 FE 5G?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash the firmware for a regular S20 5G (SM-G981) to an S20 FE 5G. My phone is from Verizon (SM-G781V) if that matters. They both have the same processor I believe (Snapdragon 865). Only difference is amount of RAM I think. I would think the regular S20 would have more features than the FE version and would like to enjoy them. Thanks in advance.
This would not work, there are many hardware diffences between the two phones even if the basic specsheets look the same. Best case scenario flashing another models ROM would it not installing, worst case a total brick.
Right now there are no 3rd party ROMs (as far as I know) for the S20FE, your two options would be waiting for custom ROMs to come out for the FE or consider selling it and using the money to get a refurb S20.
