Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus Review

[@MrHarry781]

Finally someone review the s20 plus. Mostly everyone was all about the ultra.

[@Billwis52]

I switched from an note 10+ which was a great phone I enjoyed everything it did and I used the stylus a little, the screen was .1 of an inch bigger that you can't tell, the big difference is the shape the note 10+ was squared off on the corners and s20+ is rounded to me it makes it a little more comfortable to hold, not a deal breaker and I don't really miss the stylus, I think the Ultra would work fine but it's almost too big.

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

Switched to this phone from iphone since 2010. Operating system aside, I love this phone! It's taken some time to adjust to Android but I am loving all the options features I have available. There are some things I miss about iOS. The simplicity and ussr frinedliness, except that's also it's downfall and ultimately why I got bored with it. Having an android phone at times feels a lot more like having a laptop or a mini computer because there are just so many more settings, and some of them I am still learning to use. The camera and it's features on the s20+ are so fun for me and one of the main reasons I made the switch. I will admit that at times photos do come out a little blurry, and my iphone XS Max did a way better job in image stabilization, as I don't think I ever really ended up with blurry pictures. I have just had to adjust though. Also, I feel that the s20+ does a much better job at taking pictures outside than it does inside. This camera really needs a lot of light to take those phenomenal pictures. Inside pictures are not bad though, just not as amazing as outside photos. Overall, great phone, potentially sticking with android the next time around too. Just have to get over some of the quirkiness and gimmicks of the android software. A lot of things are just so extra and not even necessary or usable. But I think the pros definitely outweigh the the cons!

[@dplace]

Andy Garcia Stock Android is the way to go next time try the Google Pixel it’s a excellent phone. The problem with Samsung is they add to much to Android. Example 2 photos galleries, 2 emails and 2 app play store. Bixby when you already have hey Google. For some reason Samsung UI tries to out do Android which to me is turn off . Coming from a long time Android user.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus phone and so far I love it as compared to the other phone which was a Motorola and this one has a much better battery life than my old Motorola phone. I am retired so I don't use it for many calls other than to pay bills and have not used the camera feature yet, but my sister took one photo of me with it and it looks great. The phone lasts all day and only uses about 20 percent of the battery life and I love that as the last phones I had would not last a full day without having to be on a charger.

The Galaxy has a better screen depends on what you're expecting. In sense of brightness in direkt Sunlight i found my iPhone 11Pro Max's Screen readability beating my Galaxy S20+ by a lot.120hz and crazy screen resolutions are not that important to me, my eyes merely can make out a difference between the iPhone and the Galaxy when compared directly. Same goes for Camera performance, for stills both phones are more or less equal, the iPhone being flatter but leaving more space for post processing while the S20+ is more Samsung typical high contrast and punchier colors which is, for many people more pleasing to the eye but less true to life. But when it comes to fast moving subjects like a running dog, the autofocus on the iPhone destroys the Galaxy S20+. The only way i found the S20+ to be able to produce any picture that was useable was with burst shots, leaving you with 15+ images to choose the good one from if any whilst with the iPhone you point and shoot and focus is consistently great. Note that i have the Exynos version as we can't get the SD one in Luxembourg

[@jeffc6059]

Potential buyers with special interest in the performance of the cameras on this phone should understand the actual optical zoom is 1.08 so the focal length of the actual lens is basically the same as the non-zoom camera. This is unlike say the S10 5G which the actual lens of the camera is 2X. However Samsung makes up for this by using a 64MP sensor. This basically results in as good or better zoom shots up to about 5X zoom than a phone with a tele-camera with a 2X or 3X optical zoom lens but only a 12MP or 16MP sensor. But to say the phone uses digital zoom above 3X is incorrect, it is ALWAYS using digital zoom on the telephone camera. The reason why it performs well can be explained by considering number of sensor pixels used decreases by the zoom factor squared when using digital zoom. So, the lowest zoom of the tele lens on the S20+ at 3X is essentially a 7MP sensor. 3 squared is 9. 64MP divided by 9 is 7.1MP. (You may be wondering, if you are always cropping the sensor than what's the point? The 64MP sensor is primarily to provide 8K video recording capability.) Compared to say the S10 5G which has a 2X optical zoom and 12MP sensor. So a 3X zoom for the S10 5G is a 1.5X digital zoom of the 2X optical. 1.5 squared = 2.25. 12MP/2.25 = 5.3MP. So you can see how the S20+ can keep up with other cameras with 2X or 3X optical zoom but only 12MP sensors. It's notable though that with 2X zoom, a camera with a 12MP sensor and a 2X optical zoom has a higher resolution image than the S20+ at 2X zoom since the S20+ doesn't have an optical zoom lens. What's more interesting is the 64MP sensor on the S20+ has a 0.8um pixel pitch which means the sensor is roughly 9,500 pixels by 7,150. So at 3X zoom the sensor output is going to be digitally cropped to around 3,160 x 2,380. However no matter what zoom resolution you use, Samsung outputs a 4032x3024 size image, basically "faking" the resolution for all images taken at anything over 1X zoom. The file size goes down as the zoom goes up even though the image resolution stays at 4032x3024 because the JPEG compression algorithm basically can see it's a fake resolution (essentially a lower resolution source image interpolated up to a higher resolution.) I'm not sure why manufacturers do this except for only from a customer satisfaction perspective as people would be complaining why their 10X zoom images are only 950 x 715 pixels. Yes, S20+ users, that is roughly the true resolution of a 10X zoom image from your phone. But consider on a 12MP sensor with 1X optical lens, that true cropped resolution is closer to 400x300! The bottom line is the S20+ Tele Camera is basically equivalent in resolution to a phone with a 12MP camera with a 2.5X optical zoom because it's not actually an optical zoom lens. So Samsung's advertising it as a 3X "hybrid optic zoom" isn't a total lie, but 2.5x would be closer to accurate as far as the equivalent of an optical zoom on a 12MP sensor. To get the best images on this camera you just want to use one of the 3 cameras without manually zooming in. If you do zoom in on the tele camera, try to not go above 5X.

Upgrading to this from the s10 plus which has been the best phone I've had so far. Blows Apple out the water.

[@3rdchtm]

Hey bro I have a question..once you upgrade and receive your s20+ and mail back your s10+, do you still have to finish paying off the s10+ and also do you have to start from scratch to pay off the s20+?? Thanks

[@Noproblem396]

How come the S20+ scored 97hrs at 60hz when S20 FE(same processer, screen size & battery capacity) scored 118hrs at 60hz? That's a 21hr difference! Even the S10 lite(same screen size, battery capacity & a year old processor) scored 110hrs. That's either a flawed testing process or a buggy 20+ model. How else can you explain this sort of gap?

I am okay with the S20 because of its size but the s20+ is good too. My only regard is that when it comes to Samsung devices, I really want to have the SnapDragon versions. It has better battery management, doesn't overheat or thermal throttle as much as the Exynos and it has 5G. I know that 5G isn't commonly available but when I buy a phone, I expect it to last for 3-5 years and in that time, 5G would be available. Like I spent almost a grand on it so it should serve me well.

For me personally, Samsung S20 Plus is the phone to buy & invest in and not the S20 Ultra. S20 Plus seems like a more all round balanced & refined & practical phone than the S20 Ultra which seems like an overhyped beast. Here in the UK, The S20 Plus RRP Price = £1000 however nearly 3+ months down the line, this phone is now available for £750+ if you do a bit of shopping around.
