Why choose the refurbished Galaxy S20 in 2026?

The Galaxy S20 was Samsung's flagship in 2020 and still today boasts features that many cheap new phones lack: a 120 Hz Dynamic AMOLED display, a powerful processor and a versatile camera set with zoom. For social media, messaging, video and everyday photography, it still holds its own.

What makes it attractive is the price. The S20 FE version has been available since 130 € on iOutlet, with 24 months warranty and the battery tested with specialised technical software. It is one of the cheapest ways to get a 120 Hz AMOLED display and a good camera.

There is an honest caveat: being from 2020, the S20 has already received its major Android updates. It still works well, but if you want years of new software versions ahead, look at the S23 or the S24. If you’re looking for the best hardware at the lowest price, the S20 delivers.

For whom does it make sense?

• Who wants a top‑end screen and camera at the lowest cost - flagship hardware from 2020 at entry‑level price.
• Who needs a second mobile phone - reliable and cheap, to keep as a spare or give to someone.
• Who gets a first smartphone - good experience for a young person, without a large investment.
• Who doesn’t care about always having the latest Android version - for normal use, it remains fast and capable.

Galaxy S20, FE, S20+ or Ultra: which to choose?

• Galaxy S20 FE (since 130 €) - the "Fan Edition" was the most popular in the range, with a screen of 6,5", larger battery and great value for money. It is the recommendation for most.
• Galaxy S20 (since 149 €) - the compact 6,2" with QHD+ resolution. Fits comfortably in the hand.
• Galaxy S20+ (since 137 €) - larger screen of 6,7" and more battery.
• Galaxy S20 Ultra (since 205 €) - the top of 2020: screen of 6,9\", camera of 108 MP and the famous Space Zoom. For those who want the best camera of the generation.

Technical specifications

All models in the S20 series have water and dust resistance IP68 and wireless charging.

Prices and grades

The price of a refurbished Galaxy S20 starts at 130 € (FE version) and varies with the model, capacity and the grade of condition. The grade describes only the external appearance: a Grade C has the same performance as a Grade A, with a few extra signs of use on the body that are hidden by a case. If you want to save money, Grade C is the smartest choice. See the refurbished Galaxy S20 page for the prices, grades and colours available.
