This week in Android: Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, iPhone 12, and a Pixel 4 giveaway

We’re getting close to the time of year with plenty of fun device launches, that means there are plenty of fun leaks, rumors and speculation to go around. Let’s go for a stroll down Rumerville lane.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition may go by the name Galaxy S20 Lite, or just Galaxy S20 FE, and is poised to be a follow-up to the S10 Lite. The TLDR is that this new phone may launch very soon, and should contain specs and performance somewhere in between the Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus. If you’d like to know more, we gotchu:

• Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition – everything we know so far
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition leaked images
• Samsung announces likely Galaxy S20 FE launch event: All the info here!

Google is next on our list. We’re just a week and a half away from the expected announcement of the Google Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G, as we’ll be covering that extensively as it happens, let’s keep it short here today:

• Google Pixel 5 – everything we know so far

Looking for something a little different this time around? The Apple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are expected to be announced in mid-October. We speculate that it’s time for Apple to make some major changes to their phone line, but our speculation is as good as ours – join the conversation:
