Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus First Look Full Review

brand-new Samsung Galaxy S20

This is your first look at the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus. 

now there's a whole new lineup of Samsung clones out right now they're going all out for 2020 clearly. 


That phone starts at 1399$ and we don't all have a Huge Ammount and a half to spend on a new phone, no matter how nice it is. So, these are the true successors to the Galaxy S10 and S10 plus. the S20 and S20 plus are actually one of the biggest jumps up We've seen Samsung take with their phones literally everything. you can think of is upgraded and they've taken the biggest jumps in the most important areas of the phone.


Screen and Display Details Of  Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus

Screen Details Of  Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus


These are now 6.2 inch and 6.7-inch displays respectively and they are 120 Hertz quad HD OLED displays so super high-resolution hdr+ and super responsive high refresh rate screens. This is the Train We've been telling you guys flagships are all gonna get on in 2020 and to match that super high refresh rate. Samsung has also doubled the touch sensitivity to a 240 Hertz sample rate. 


super high-resolution hdr+ on Screen on Smasung S20

meaning it responds to touch input twice as fast and the whole new speed difference is instantly noticeable.  

Literally everything from swiping around the UI to opening and closing apps and scrolling and eventually of course gaming everything will look and feel smoother. and We think Samsung has also tweaked some of these animations in one UI to be a bit shorter and snappy or two.  So, you can easily tell it feels way smoother than 60 Hertz and We can actually tell the difference versus 90 as well. So, galaxy S20 at 120 Hertz is actually to be limited to 1080p, not for resolution 1440p. this is something We just found out later after the briefing. We didn't even really notice while using it but if you get the phone out the box it will be at 1440p and at 60 Hertz and when you go into the settings to change it to move it up to 120 Hertz it'll lock you at 1080p. 

Probably to save battery life and power and things like that a small asterisk. on what we've learned about the phone but figured. We are super happy about the screen and on top of all that. 


Blocked In the Middle On Samsung S20

There's now the center hole punch you can see which actually preferred because unlike the corners there's usually nothing being blocked in the middle. 


flattering Display on Samsung S20

and it's now actually flattering which is so unlike Samsung. Because they've always been the ones to push the curved glass melting over the sides. but hey new decade new Samsung now this display doesn't melt over the edge nearly as much or kind of at all. 


Much Thick Samsung S20

it's much more flat in Our opinion much more usable and 
We still have the ultrasonic fingerprint reader, of course underneath the display. 


Battery Details Of  Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus



Phones by a healthy amount - so it's a four thousand milliamp-hour battery on the smaller S20 and a 450 million power battery on the S20 plus. So, they're not trying to make these phones super razor thin. 

which is great they're actually just a tiny bit thicker but it's also probably because with a huge bright hundred twenty Hertz display. you're gonna want all the battery you can get. so this is something we're gonna have to test. 

There's still 25-watt fast charging with that charger included in the box and wireless charging. 


Performance and Specs on Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus

Samsung S20 and S20 Plus Specs


While we're at it let's hit the specs boom. there you go high-end CPU and insane 12 gigabytes of RAM on all of them expandable storage ip68 certified. 


Samsung S20 Ultra

We mean these phones are complete on the spec sheet not quite as wild as the s20 ultra but still no big shortcomings as you'd expect from a Samsung flagship. 


Samsung S20 and S20 Plus is 5G

The entire lineup is also all 5g capable. but We Don't think this is quite a game-changer as much as some people will try to make out to be you know the s20 and s20 plus. They will not do millimeter-wave so only sub-C 5g and so it'll say 5g in the corner.it's only gonna be up to about 20% faster than good 4G on a good day. See Gaming Performance -





Camera Details Of  Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus



That's it the last and probably most important new piece of these new phones with the galaxy s 20 and that is the cameras. they are a huge focus for Samsung on these new phones. 

So, you're looking at a new triple camera setup for the S20 and the S20 plus has room for an extra depth sensor but otherwise, 


Samsung s20 Camera Details

they're the same things here with a new 12-megapixel main sensor at F/1.8 then there's a 3 X 64-megapixel telephoto camera at f/2 and a 12 megapixel ultra-wide at F 2.2 and they are all physically larger sensors than last year.

which is great for pretty much everything light sensitivity, low light performance and anything else basically to do with photography. and there are some serious zoom capabilities, not just optical zoom but with software giving you a 10x multiplier.

That's going to give you a comfortable 30x hybrid zoom. That phone has a 10x zoom which means the hybrid zoom with the software will go up to a hundred X which is ridiculous. They'll call all of this space zoom it could have called a galaxy zoom. We guess that works as well but the nice cherry on top of all this is. 


10X Zoom on Samsung S20 and S20 Plus

they're all capable of 8k 24 FPS video across the whole lineup. now 8k video in a smartphone camera sounds incredible sounds like something You put in Your dream phone. but there is a catch 4k was already big but 8k video is 33 megapixels per frame. 

This is awesome because you can get the flexibility of being able to pull 33-megapixel stills from a video but to get that you have to have a window of a sensor big enough to shoot 8k video, which you need at least a 33-megapixel sensor but the main camera on these phones. like We mentioned is that 12-megapixel sensor it's the 3x telephoto that's 64 megapixels So when you go into the settings and turn the video resolution to 8k Its going to be coming from that telephoto camera, not the main camera.

it's gonna punch in a bit as you can tell which definitely drops it. 


Samsung S20 Video Does Not Support Tracking Autofoucs

a bit on the convenience side also 8k doesn't support tracking autofocus or video effects some things to note as it says here in the settings. so they do technically shoot 8k yes but it's not from the main sensor, it's punched in there's just a little bit extra to think about when maxing out a video on these phones. So it's not like the dream world where we can stream 8k over 5g to YouTube Or Anywhere without even thinking about. 


Other Features and Changes On Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus



It just not quite there yet either way though as you can tell with the entire rest of this phone not a whole lot to dislike. even a lot of the little stuff they changed We Were liking - they changed the button situation. so now the buttons have moved back over to the right-hand side. 


Bixby Button Gone From Samsung S20

The dedicated Bigsby button is gone. they are also pretty lightweight phones as well despite their size and the bigger batteries. 


Ui Design Of Samsung S20

We were impressed with how good they feel in the hand and how light they are compared to some other big phones. Samsung's UI 2.0 has some neat improvements as well now.  

There are still things like building a zoom preview into the camera app now. 


Camera Feature

so when you're zoomed in super far you still get that preview on the top left of what the hell you're zooming into. which is super useful and there's other stuff like Spotify and now integrated into Bixby routines and HD Google duo video chat built natively into the dialer and some other stuff like the subtle new animations and there's also a new single take mode in the camera. 


Camera Pro Mode Feature on Samsung S20

it's like the opposite of Pro Mode basically instead of you do all the hard work of taking several photos and videos you just hit the shutter button once and point it at some action and it will decide for you when to take photos and videos based on you know when eyes are open and faces are smiling and stuff that seems kind of cool.
