Samsung Electronics on Monday announced it will unveil the more affordable Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, or S20 FE, during an online Unpacked event on Sept. 23 at 11 p.m.

Samsung on Monday morning sent out three digital invitation cards to media worldwide, revealing the title of the upcoming event: Samsung Galaxy Unpacked for Every Fan.

The event will be livestreamed on Samsung and Samsung Newsroom websites.

The Galaxy S20 FE is expected to be released in October with a price range from 800,000 won ($680) to 900,000 won.

The device is a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy S20, with some of the same hardware components.

The S20 FE will likely be equipped with a 6.5-inch display, 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of data storage.

Each Unpacked invite revealed two of the six colors that the smartphone will be available in: navy, mint, lavender, red, white and orange.

The smartphone reportedly has a 12-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization on the back and a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The smartphone will also be equipped with a 12-megapixel wide-angle and 8-megapixel telephoto camera with three-times optical zoom.

In July and August, Samsung surveyed around 10,000 Samsung Members, its online community, in Korea, the United States, Britain, India, Indonesia and Brazil, and applied their feedback to the production of the new product.
