Samsung Galaxy A20e used and refurbished
The Galaxy A20e is a small smartphone with a 5.8-inch screen that you can comfortably use with one hand and slip into any pocket. Samsung released it in spring 2019 as a phone for everyday things: calls, messaging, navigation and photos from a family trip. It has a plastic body, a USB-C port and a 3000 mAh battery.
At SWOPiFY you'll find used and refurbished Samsung Galaxy A20e phones in the 32 GB version, dual-SIM or single-SIM, in white, black, coral and blue. Before a unit is listed, SWOPiFY partners inspect and test it, and any faults they find are fixed by the repair shop.
What can the Galaxy A20e do?
The display is a 720 × 1560 PLS LCD panel with a small notch for the front camera. At this size, the picture is sharp enough for reading messages and looking at photos. The phone has a single speaker, which is enough for speakerphone calls and short videos.
You'll find the fingerprint reader on the back, roughly where your index finger naturally rests. The body has no water-resistance rating. It does have NFC, though, so you can pay contactlessly in shops with your phone.
Processor, cameras and battery
Inside is an Exynos 7884 with 3 GB of RAM. It's enough for texts, calls, WhatsApp, the weather forecast and simple puzzle games. Opening a heavier app or switching between several programs takes a moment, and newer 3D games are beyond it. On the back there are two lenses: a 13 MP main camera and a 5 MP ultra-wide for wider shots. On the front there's an 8 MP camera.
The battery is 3000 mAh, which is less than in larger phones. With a few calls and some message checking it will last until the evening, but if you use navigation or watch films for a long time, keep a charger handy. Wired charging is 15 W; there's no wireless charging.
What should you check before buying?
The 32 GB of eMMC storage fills up quickly, especially if the phone holds several years' worth of photos. Luckily, the microSD card has its own place in the tray here and doesn't take up the second SIM slot. There's also a classic 3.5 mm headphone jack. Remember that this is a compact phone – if your eyesight isn't great, you may find the 5.8-inch screen too small.
Samsung no longer develops software for this model. The Galaxy A20e ended on Android 11, and the last update packages were released in mid-2023. As of 20 October 2026, the phone hasn't received security patches for more than three years. Banking apps and some messaging apps may stop supporting it over time, so don't treat it as your main phone for payments. It works well as a spare phone, a phone for the allotment or a child's first smartphone. The Galaxy A20 has a bigger AMOLED screen with the same processor.
You can filter Galaxy A20e units by:
- storage – 32 GB;
- RAM – 3 GB;
- colour;
- price range;
- condition.
Buying a phone for a parent or grandparent? Once it's unboxed, make the font and icons bigger in the display settings, and save photos straight to the microSD card. That way the modest 32 GB will last longer.
What does the technical check involve?
Before a Galaxy A20e goes on sale as refurbished, it goes through a 44-point checklist, including:
- display – touch response, brightness, dead pixels and scratches on the glass;
- battery – health and physical condition;
- both rear cameras and the front camera;
- fingerprint reader on the back;
- connectivity – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC;
- SIM and memory card detection;
- speaker, microphones, headphone jack and USB-C port.
Can you trust a refurbished Galaxy A20e?
A refurbished Samsung Galaxy A20e from SWOPiFY is a used phone, checked by SWOPiFY partners and repaired if anything was wrong. We don't list it as factory new and never suggest that it is.
Your order comes with a warranty. The condition of the body, screen and battery of each unit is described by one of four grades: Premium, Excellent, Good or Fair. If the phone is going to a child who will scratch it anyway, don't overpay for a Premium unit.
Got an old smartphone you no longer use?
Sell it to us through our buy-back programme and the amount you get will reduce the price of your purchase. You won't waste time taking photos for a listing or negotiating with buyers, and hardware you no longer need goes back into circulation.
