[@amtealdi2969]

Honestly the best review on the two phones I've seen yet. Most reviewers nowadays give their reviews and speak about the phones without actually giving a solid answer and solid advice at the end. They're helpful at telling us the specs but their conclusions are always open ended and it's as if its just another phone in their cupboard. You actually tell us that you wouldn't buy the Ultra, and why we shouldn't - as if they're the £1000 investment they are. I was undecided on the two because although 100x is unusable, the 10x and maybe even 30x are useful on the Ultra, the focus and the depth of field issues are more important and bigger flaws than the perks of the Ultra, and you showed me that. I'm still favouring the 20+ over the iPhone however as the 120Hz , fingerprint censor and smaller bezels are more useful to me than the slightly better camera reliability. And I still believe the camera is better on the 20+ than the Oneplus 8 Pro too. Thanks for the video.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! I think the S20+ is a no brainer over the Ultra. As for the iPhone, i'm actually publishing my 11 Pro Max vs S20+ video (hopefully) this week. OnePlus 8 review coming soon too. Thanks a lot for watching though and for the nice comment!

Got my s20+ last week, i'm absolutely loving it, considering It was a massive upgrade for me going from the old S8 it's not that much of a surprise that I'd be happy with my new purchase, though what I mostly fell in love with was the 120hz refresh rate, and the camera quality. Perhaps may not be worth the £1k overall, but I certainly don't have regrets Amazing video, you broke down everything to the tiniest detail, good work !

Size wise may be quite a jump from an older s7 handset to a device as large as the ultra... plenty of food for thought. And a new subscriber to boot, good work!

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the phone!

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

I just switched from iPhone. I was an iPhone fanboy since 2011. I just got tired of the same phone coming out every year. But that's anothet conversation. I picked up the s20+, and overall I love it! I find it a little quirky at times and a few things aren't as smooth as iOS, but I find the experience much more enjoyable and personalized. My biggest complaint is there is no external volume switch to switch from silent to loud, and as great as these cameras are I still feel like the iPhone cameras might be a little better. I'm disappointed because that was one of the reasons I wanted to switch. I thought the galaxy line was supposed to be second to only the pixel. But it's still a great camera. I am coming from an iPhone XS Max so I'm a couple years behind on tech, but so far for an iPhone user, I have really enjoyed the switch. There are some things that need getting used to though. iOS has just mastered the user experience and overall is a much more refined OS, but it's too restrictive and boring. I may go back after this s20+, but for now, it's been an AWESOME experience!

[@solarcj9313]

Exactly I have the xr been with Apple forever and I’m about to switch I just don’t know what phone

[@Kiobao]

It's funny since I'm actually probably doing the reverse. I've always been an android person besides having the iphone 4s. I really miss the iphones app polish as well as I like to play phone games and sometimes they just really lag and slow down in comparison to my experience with ios. I currently have the Note 9 and been debating between getting the Iphone 12 in october or getting the S20/s20+/s..30? next year. Samsung has by far been my most polished and well rounded android experience. I'd consider the pixel 5 if it's any good and worth it. However, it just seems to me it's better to wait until october before deciding and not just getting the s20/+ now. The s20+ just seems too large for me since it's one of my gripes with the Note 9. Besides that, I really love the personalization and what I can do. I added one hand operation + , great feature and I'm OCD with my organizing so I customize with Nova launcher. Which could kind've defeat the purpose of owning a pixel since it's purpose is to be a great stock phone and getting the features sooner. Then I have a reader app that i can't get on ios and a game emulator, so It's tilting me more towards sticking with android, I just wish I could use the apple watch and airpods since those to me are really great accessories that I'd love to try.

[@rickj8859]

One of more sensible comparative reviews of S20+ and S20 Ultra, on KZbin. I have just bought S20+ (directly from Samsung), based on brief use of friends S20, S10+ and P30 Pro. Whilst P30 Pro had superior camera specification, the Huawei firmware tends to over-compensate exposures in normal light conditions .... and I don't usually use phone, to take shots in poor light conditions, or for telephoto shots. I have full frame camera for that. Considering the phone for phone sake, with capability of taking "reasonable" camera shots on the go ... as the bonus, S20+ seemed the best option here. With the memory card slot, 12 GB Ram on board and higher spec 5G, the only drawback as I see it, is Samsung's use of Exynos 990 chipset (in UK), instead of Snapdragon 865.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you. Yes the Exynos chip is disappointing. The gap between the 990 and SD 865 is particularly large this year - especially with power efficiency. It's not so bad that it makes the phone unusable though

[@rickj8859]

It's inevitable that not much will change each year, but you still made a bigger upgrade than if you had gone for a XS!

I have the S20 ultra 5g Snapdragon.Overall, I love this phone so far, especially the battery. I use android auto, so my phone charges during my rides to and from work, and yesterday, right before i went to bed, my battery was at 88%! But I have also noticed the camera isn't that great. I take a lot of close pictures of receipts for business expenses, and they're all much less sharp than the pics from my previous S10+, some are even blurry. Also, i've noticed that at 120Hz, my google news feed in the Lawnchair launcher tends to freeze and lock up the phone after about 20 seconds of scrolling and reading. It doesn't happen at 60hz.

The battery does last longer on the Ultra, it's true. Maybe around an hour screen-on time (but it varies). I don't think it's "130 more expensive" better though. If the camera is even a little bit important to you, then this outweighs the battery life issue. My recommendation: get the S20+

[@ennbb2]

Your content is awesome, but around 16:00 you mention that the 108MP mode on the S20 Ultra has shallower depth of field than the 12MP.. Depth of field is a result of the ratio between the physical size of the sensor and the aperture (f-stop).. Since both the 108MP and 12MP mode are using the entire surface area of the sensor they have the exact same depth of field.. The difference is just digital sharpening..

[@insidetechltd]

If you consider depth of field as the perceived depth of field in the resulting photos, then it's a lot easier to compare the images side by side - as I have done in the video. You're right about sharpening, this is due to Pixel binning. But the blurred background results from depth of field (you wouldn't see this in a 108 MP photo for distant subjects) so I have simply used this to describe the difference in the appearance of the two images to help explain the difference you can expect in 108 MP vs 12 MP photos

Yep. I think if you go with the Ultra, there's a little bit if training, or retraining involved. I was talking to someone yesterday who had great luck in just backing up a bit (like 1-2 ft) when taking photos. It's definitely not a point and shoot out of the box but it's definitely capable of being a great camera. I also noticed that Single Take solves a lot of problems with blurred moving objects.

[@insidetechltd]

For sure, you can learn to take better photos. Also 'Pro' mode can really, really help - it's just a little daunting for the average consumer who wants to point and shoot. But then again...why are you paying $1400 for a smartphone if not to make use of all of it's features!

[@mjschabow]

@@insidetechltd exactly. And that's Samsung in general. The anti Apple "It just works" motto. Samsungs are all about tweaking. That's why I keep a Pixel too. If I'm in the mood to snap a bunch of pictures, mainly faces, then I'm putting my sim in that phone. Nature walks, I'll use the Ultra.

Thank you for such an in-depth review. Saved me a great deal of time on research. I buy a phone only every 4-5 years or so, so I think the 20+ will be the right phone for me. Upgrading from my ancient Galaxy will be amazing and I think I can hang onto this for another good 5 years.

[@Stupid_Genius_09]

@@DoctorStrange489 S20+ is the ideal choice especially if he wants to keep it for 5 years, which am not too sure about that. however that will be more possible over the S10+ which is most likely to fall short of software updates within the next 5 years, I would keep it for the next 2-3 years and consider something like the S21+ or ultra or the S22+ until then this is a more realistic prospect to go with, hey this is just my opinion. you chose what you decide for yourself.

Do you know when you'll be releasing the update? I've heard Samsung's update for the S20 Ultra improves some of the auto focusing issues, and the night mode timing. But there remain issues because of limitations with Phase Detection Auto Focus. Any chance future 'Ultra' models could return to Dual Pixel, or is that not possible?

Early next week hopefully. Some parts have improved but most issues still remain. I wouldn't be surprised to see dual pixel af return in the future

Brilliant and very effective review. I should have watched your review earlier! I got S20 Ultra two days back and it still has all the problems you have mentioned. I am not sure if this can be fixed! I wish Samsung makes it. One key interesting point: when I take pics of words with the very small font( like the small manual in the phone box), image is always blurred. The front-facing camera takes with great focus. I checked the Note20 Ultra too! It has the same problems. Kindly check this factor in your review. Thanks.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you very much! Really interesting to hear from someone who's still experiencing issues - i'm sorry that you are! I had suspected that some of (if not all) the issues could not be fixed through software alone, which is a real shame. I'll check out the problem you have mentioned and definitely mention it in future too. I have some more videos coming up featuring the S20 Ultra so i'll see how this compares to the Note 20 Ultra soon!

i bought the ultra. and its an impressive phone. but i must say the camera has still left me a little confused, i came from a s9+ and we have a s10+ in the home as well and yet i struggle to get even as good pictures as i used to get with the old phones. but i hope it is a software issue that can be fixed. and there are cases where i see the potential. the 100x zoom is completely useless. and to be honest the 108mp is in most cases as well, the focus has such a small window that i struggle to take pictures with the object not partly blurred. but camera aside, the phone is mighty, and feels more impressive to me that my s9+ did when i got that 2 years ago.
