With almost all the main features of the S20 Ultra bar its huge camera and battery, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is arguably better value for money, with a gorgeous ultra-premium display, intuitive UI and still-impressive photographic capabilities. Perhaps the best Android phone on the market for casual users.

For most people, the Samsung Galaxy S20 is still one of the best Android phone available right now. Especially with the cheaper prices around. However, I would seriously consider the Galaxy S20 FE which has a Snapdragon 865 and better battery life, along with superior performance. There's also the OnePlus 8T which has a similarly ace display and the Pixel 5 if you're looking for something even smaller.

With the Galaxy S20, Samsung has played it safe – opting for refinements over innovation. However, these refinements were craved by many and culminate in a cracking experience – from the stunning display and manageable size to top-notch photography. Galaxy S20 rivals other flagships in almost every category, making it an easy recommendation for its consistency across the board.

Samsung already confirms the non-availability of the cheaper variant of S20 (S20 Lite). Those who are looking for a new premium flagship from Samsung the S20 is the only option available right now. Still, the S20’s isn’t the latest best offering from Samsung. That’s why for the high-end buyers, there are two options available Galaxy S20 Plus and S20 Ultra.

Overall, our top pick among Samsung's new Android phones is the Galaxy S20 Plus, because it offers a larger display and longer endurance. But for that you'll have to step up to $1,199. If you prefer a smaller device, you should be very pleased with the regular Galaxy S20.

Samsung's Galaxy S20 range is a safe bet, if not a little on the expensive side. While so many smartphones are available at a lower price point, Samsung's range just about defines the category for the year ahead these days - the right combination of features, capability, bells and whistles and longevity; one of the few brands that has software updates for a good while, with good retail support, good accessory support and more. If you can afford one, it's a purchase that'll easily last a couple of years.

It has enough of everything to make you very happy, including one of the best displays, good cameras, and good battery life.

Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+ review
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
The S20 and S20+ are basically the same phone, aside from their differences in size, battery and mmWave support. The Plus also has an additional depth sensor on its back for slightly better portrait mode and AR effects. Are those features worth the extra $200 for the larger phone? Only if you really want a bigger screen, extra long battery and super fast 5G on T-Mobile. Verizon offers a mmWave-compatible S20, so your decision will also depend on what carrier you’re on. For most people, though the base S20 is plenty of phone. In the case of this year’s S20 trio, smaller is so much better. I felt like the Ultra was overkill when it came to size, camera features and most importantly, price. At $1,000, the S20 costs about the same as its competitors, though the S20+ still comes in at a premium. But they’re also the best-looking Android flagships around with speedy performance and long battery life. For that money, you’ll also be getting excellent displays and blazing 5G speeds where available. If $1,000 is too much for you, you might want to wait for other options like the rumored Pixel 4a or consider the S10 series, which could offer most of what you need for a fraction of the price. Right now, though, the S20 and S20+ are the best Android phones money can buy.

The S20 avoids that pitfall. Samsung's marketing has been quite straightforward in describing the upgrades it brings and the phone manages to deliver a solid and consistent experience all at more palatable pricing. In fact, the exuberant pricing on the Ultra makes the S20 look a pretty good deal in comparison. Which may have been the strategy all along.

Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Of Samsung's three new Galaxy S20 5G phones, the smallest, cheapest Galaxy S20 is my favorite. It's just as stuffed with top-shelf features as the Galaxy S20 Plus and S20 Ultra, from its tack-sharp screen to advanced camera skills. But apart from screen and body size, the differences between S20 models are almost negligible. Of course, there are people who will want the S20 Plus and even Ultra instead, but for specific, personal reasons, and not out of a marked advantage in tools or performance. And yes, I do mean the Ultra's 108-megapixel camera and 100x zoom. (Wait for it…)

Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ Review – A Mixed Bag, Not a ‘Must’ Upgrade
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
As someone who still owns – and loves – a Galaxy S9+, who lives and breathes Samsung, who used an S10 for a while and a Note 9 for four solid months, the S20 is… underwhelming. It’s very much an iteration on what’s come before – and it comes at the cost of numerous omissions. Compared to the S9/Note9 series, you’re missing that much-loved audio jack, you’re missing fast capacitive fingerprint scanning, you’re missing heart and blood sensors, you’re missing iris scanning. Compared to the S10, you’re missing that jack and you’re missing a real telephoto camera.

Samsung decided to call this phone the “Galaxy S20” instead of the Galaxy S11. Was it because it didn’t want to be a number behind the iPhone 12, which is presumably coming later this year? Signs obviously point to yes, but Samsung claims it chose the name because it wanted to signal that the S20 is the start of a new generation of phones.

Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy S20, the small phone that isn’t small on features

Yes, at Scott’s wedding the phone battery was looking a little sad after about 8 hours off the charger, but bear in mind this involved shooting quite a few photos, and the venue didn’t have an awful lot of mobile coverage, meaning lots of hunting for signal – known to destroy even the largest of batteries.

90% Samsung Galaxy S20 Review: Excellent just got better
Source: Mobile Syrup English Archive.org version
And yet, for all the raw power, the S20 lacks in some important areas. As good as the cameras are, other phones get better results. Further, as someone who used the Pixel 4 as a daily driver before testing the S20, I found the Pixel felt smarter and more responsive to me. Sure, the S20 outperformed it, but performance isn't everything.

The new S20 phones are shaping up to be very capable phones, even if they don't deliver anything super groundbreaking outside of the camera capabilities. As before, they're iterative upgrades on their predecessors, but they come with vital quality of life improvements, such as the higher refresh rate and more responsive display and smaller hole-punch camera. They're not life-changing, but they do matter, and of course Samsung has continued to improve the camera while still creating one of the sleekest-looking Android phones around.

At $999, the Samsung Galaxy S20 isn’t cheap, but it is the most affordable new Galaxy S20 phone. It’s also the most compact phone in Samsung’s flagship lineup, making it the best choice for those looking for an Android device that won’t bulge out of their pockets or require two hands to operate. The star of the show is the new camera, which impresses with new features like Single Take and a more powerful zoom, but the jury is out on the image quality versus the iPhone 11 and Pixel 4.

Single Take was the feature I tested the most in my hands-on time with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. I had a lot of fun with it and I liked what I saw, but it will take a lot more usage to decide if it's something I would use often and if it would help me fully capture moments I would have otherwise missed. But I like what Samsung's trying to do here, because it could make phone photography more fun and more effective at the same time.

It’s not all just pure hardware though, Samsung has also added a very useful One Take feature that captures a shot using every conceivable mode and filter on the phone with just one press of a button so that you needn’t have to get your subject to continue reposing all the time. This feature is amazing, more so when pressed for time and you need to capture a lot of different footage styles.

Of the three phones, the Galaxy S20 is the most compact and manageable, and many potential buyers will find this appealing, as we did. However, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is by far the most interesting of the three, even though its the most unwieldy and will be much more expensive. We're eager to test Samsung's new 108-megapixel sensor and also the hybrid zoom systems in all three phones, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for that.

Samsung has earned a place as one of the top three smartphone manufacturers in the world, and its latest crop of devices looks to be its most promising yet. While not a radical departure from previous iterations, the new Galaxy S20 and S20+ are attractive and well-specced. If they prove to be as good in practice as they look upon first impression, Samsung will probably have another solid hit on its hands.

Samsung Galaxy S20 hands-on: Out-featuring the competition
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
I believe Samsung has crafted winning devices. The price premium is likely thanks to the 5G radios built into each. Every phone maker will charge more for 5G this year, and Samsung happens to be first out the door with its devices. The cameras appear to be worth the upgrade, though whether or not people can afford these phones will be dependent on carrier monthly pricing plans.

Even though the Galaxy S20 Ultra is definitely going to soak up most of the spotlight at this unveiling, with its fancy new 108MP and periscope cameras, we have very little to complain about the regular S20 and the S20+. Growth-spurt aside, the pair actually looks all round better in most aspects compared to its predecessors. An achievement, which, like we already mentioned, should not be taken lightly. We only Samsung has done something different to the design of these babies. Oh, and where's the white color this time around, Samsung? Sigh, we can't have it all.

Comment

Model:

Despite being considered an excellent phone last year, the Samsung Galaxy S10 could not carry the series forward as expected. With battery life being an issue and featuring a similar screen as its predecessor, the Galaxy S10 could not bring much justice to its presence. However, the new Samsung Galaxy S20 might just enlighten fans with an applaudable improvement when compared to the Galaxy S10. The Samsung Galaxy S20 has been introduced to the market as the cheapest variant of Samsung’s new range, but it is not the most affordable launch of the brand so far. Nevertheless, since the S20 provides 5G by default in many places, the price might not be much of a consideration for some 5G fans.

The camera is definitely something to ponder on. The sensor on the main 12-megapixel camera has been completely rebuilt with bigger pixels to allow more light to be captured while taking shots. This absolutely creates a better shot with plenty of sharp detail to rejoice on. There is also a very quick focus, also in a poor light setting, to give the user a premium experience while taking the best shots even when the surrounding does not permit. Samsung has even gone to the extent of stating that the Galaxy S20 would be able to produce way better night-time shots with clearer details. In addition to this, the ‘Space Zoom’ feature, which refers to the 64-megapixel telephoto lens, is something to really boast about. Bringing to the table a combination of ‘3x hybrid optical zoom’ and ‘30x super resolution zoom’, the feature is said to be able to produce results that will definitely exceed that of previous Galaxy devices. Apart from that, it is worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S20 is said to be the first phone which records 8K video. Now, that is something that will really excite the video content creators out there.

The 6.2-inch screen size is incorporated with more visually remarkable and fluid tech along with the array of impressive cameras. The newly added 120Hz refresh rate feature will definitely improve the overall display performance as compared to the usual 60 Hz and cater for an immersive user experience. However, it should be noted that the 120Hz display will only work when the screen resolution is set to Full-High Definition, which is not the default. Therefore, users have to do it manually to be able to use this feature. The reason for this limitation has been linked to battery life. The 4,000mAh battery that has been incorporated within the Galaxy S20 is said to be subjected to much strain when 120Hz is set by default. Another drawback for this model would be the exclusion of a headphone jack. Despite the drawbacks, the S20 does have its own unique features to be celebrated for, and it comes in three different colours, namely Cloud Blue, Cloud Pink and Cosmic Gray.
