Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Hands On: Critical mass

[@2MenEQ]

That Ultra is so tempting

[@RobsRemixes]

Preordered the Ultra, delivery 10th March. 2 small things I'm disappointed with is the lack of good colors so had to go with the black and second its 45w enabled but you only get the 25w out of the box, shame.

[@Buzza235]

In the uk the black has the 128gb + 12gb ram.

[@RobsRemixes]

@@Buzza235 That's the one I preordered

[@TechxGremlin]

I'll tell you right now, I have the 45W charger on the Note10+ and it was a disappointment compared to the 25W charger so at this point yea it should be included but after using it I could care less about it until they optimize it better otherwise it's doesn't matter that much in my opinion.

[@chaikagaz]

If you in the uk you getting that crappy exynos chip. I feel sad for you because snap dragon is always better

[@RobsRemixes]

@@TechxGremlin Yeah been watching a few comparison videos and it only charges around 5-10 minutes faster over the 25w charger so it's really not a big deal at all unless you're constantly in a rush.

[@dheerajsp]

I'm an S9+ user and I'm quite tempted by the regular S20. I get a slightly smaller screen on a much smaller body with 120Hz screen and a bigger battery for about the same price I paid for the S9+. I'll probably stick with the S9+ for another year cos it's still so good.

[@Giroutte]

Wait for the note 20 and their variations. You can be sure they'll add even more things to it.

[@Giroutte]

@Jimmy Greer you're making s good jump man. I've been upgrading from s8+ S9+ and now note 10+ but that's only because my contract always allows me to upgrade early. But you're making a really good leap coming from the s8.

[@MinhPham0407]

The back of the S20/+ looks just like the A series, seems like Samsung put all of their design focus on the front and totally forgot the back.

A part of me agrees, especially after the Notes looked so good...

That phone is huge. Honestly I'd be ok with the Standard S20 for size. I mean I have the Note 10 in Red just for the red alone and I'm happy with it. Question is would this phone really justify the upgrade.

Joshua Awesome Video really enjoyed and love that still the same quality of information about the devices.And for someone who looking to finally upgrade they definitely came out with a great variety of devices that we expect from Samsung.Thanks so much for sharing Deb 👌👍✌

[@martonltd]

The Ultra has a 48mp telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom... which, cropped, translates to 12mp 10x. The 20 and 20+ have 64mp wide angle lenses i.e. 1x zooms (no zooms), which they crop to 12mp for 3x "hybrid" zoom. Astonishing misdirection, with no reviewer I have seen mentioning it.

[@FigWidIt]

To be honest for U.S. buyers we've had a trend of Android flagships becoming discounted within months after the phones release. I can wait half a year or by the holidays to pick one of these models up.

[@Buzza235]

Problem is half a year later the S21 will be coming out

[@hienho15]

Getting anything new with some new features is always tempting. I was tempted to get the ultra, even though I keep telling myself I will never pay 1000 for a phone anymore since I don't use all the features. But just from looking at a few pictures samples, it doesn't look too exciting or game changing. I will test it out or look at more samples to determine whether I should buy it. But for now I am leaning toward waiting for a price drop.

[@user-zr4wh3lh5v]

Yep. You seem to pay a premium price for these phones on release then the hype calms down a bit with the price included

[@completesalvation1755]

Great video. Personally the s20 ultra is worth the initial price because of the features. As you mentioned it is obsolescence resistant. You did not mention that the S20 plus and ultra have both short and long wave 5g. Personally I don’t miss the pauses in my video and movies as they load more data. The idea is to get cutting edge tech fairly soon when it comes on the market to maximize the peak performance available at the time. My intention is to keep the phone 3-4 years. To me it is similar to big box store purchasing, the larger quantity ends up costing less. The s20 at $1000 is starting to be the cost of a quality phone. The ultra cost a few hundred more but the added benefit compared to the few hundred more is actually a value once you’ve committed to spending the initial amount of money. I purchased an IPad with LTE in 2017. It is still going strong with no sign of obsolescence in sight at least until the 5g model arrives.

[@soupnazi81]

It's not 10x optical. It's 10x hybrid. Only 4x optical.

[@Raja995mh33]

and the S20(+) doesn't have a 3x optical zoom but literally nothing. It's a 1.06x "optical zoom". Everything else is digital

I'm still on the fence about upgrading. I really need an honest opinion. Samsung S6 edge was my first introduction to the Samsung brand.

I'm currently using a Pixel 2 and have 2 months left on my plan and still no closer on making a decision.....please help! I'm also a gamer, take photos and pretty heavy user

[@jvtechtea]

One UI is a big upgrade from anything resembling Touchwiz since that era. The interface is still a bit bloated and tries too hard to shove some features in your face, but it's come a long way. It won't be as minimal as the Pixel OS/stock Android but it brings a lot of functionality to make up for it.
