The industry expects Samsung to unveil the so-called Galaxy S20 Fan Edition in October, which means that you should expect this device to reach the headlines more often over the coming weeks. It's been only a few days since the last Galaxy S20 Fan Edition leak gave us a close look at the multitude of color options soon-to-be employed by this phone, and now the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition has another reason to emerge.
The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition has been certified by the NFC Forum earlier this week. In fact, two model numbers of the same device have paid the NFC Forum a visit, namely the SM-G780F and SM-G781V (5G). This new bit of information might not be as exciting as some of the other recent leaks but perhaps it is equally important as it brings the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition closer to becoming a real product. These certifications are necessary ahead of a mobile product's market release, and Samsung has one less formality to worry about before it can bring us the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition.
The NFC Forum doesn't reveal any specs but Samsung's oddball Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is seemingly supposed to revive the concept of the ‘flagship killer.' Evidently, the launch price will be the main factor determining whether or not this is true. The phone is expected to have a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it could be powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset in some regions or the Exynos 990 SoC in others, according to previous benchmarks.
