If you’re having trouble choosing the best Galaxy S22 Ultra deal to fit your needs (and budget) right now, it might not be a bad idea to consider purchasing the Galaxy S20 FE instead. Obviously, the 2020-released 6.5-inch handset doesn’t exactly share its target audience with the hot new 6.8-inch giant, but if you’re on a tight budget and don’t want any strings attached to your next phone, there’s really no reason to turn up your nose at the $299.99 Snapdragon 865 powerhouse.
Yes, this is still very much a powerhouse… in that price bracket, especially with 5G speeds, a silky smooth 120Hz Super AMOLED display, and a hefty 4,500mAh battery equipped with fast 25W wired and 15W wireless charging in tow as well.
Of course, three measly Benjamins will not buy you a brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged unit with unlocked support for all US carriers. Instead, you’ll have to settle for a refurbished Galaxy S20 FE 5G device made to work exclusively on Verizon if you want to save 200 bucks compared to how much Amazon currently charges for an all-new unlocked unit.
The good news is you’ll get a full and comprehensive one-year warranty here as well (albeit provided by Allstate rather than Samsung itself) in addition to a new retail box and a new fast charger too (USB Type-C cable and power brick). On top of everything, Bobcat Wireless, which just so happens to be a “top rated plus” eBay seller with a 100 percent (!!!) positive feedback score based on around 9,000 customer ratings, is ready to vouch for the “very good” condition of these ultra-affordable phones on sale in a “limited quantity.”
The merchant claims to have used a team of “certified mobile phone technicians” to thoroughly test the Galaxy S20 FE 5G before putting it up for grabs in “perfect working condition.”
That sounds pretty much as good as a refurbished device gets, and while the 5G-capable S20 FE has naturally been discounted before by various other eBay sellers and retailers like Woot, this is undoubtedly the lowest price ever hit with a 1-year warranty included.
Available in a single Cloud Navy color with 128 gigs of internal storage space and a 6GB RAM count, the Galaxy S20 FE is really not that different from the newer S21 FE, which currently costs $600 and up.
