Samsung quietly launches Galaxy S20 FE 2022 with a lower price

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 ($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.

KT will give you an AKG headset for free with the S20 FE 2022 until the end of the month

We haven’t seen an official announcement from Samsung yet. There is no sign of this 2022 edition in other countries either.
