The most sought-after feature of the S20 is the expandable SD card slot missing in the S21 and newer phones.

Agree 100%, all the new phones are coming without SD card which is a hard pass for me. Having a 500gb SD card + 256 GB built in is more important than minor updates. Without it, I won't buy the phone.

I had a S20 for almost 2 years, in this summer I dropped it on the ground by accident and the phone was gone, it was an awesome phone even after 2 years of use, but the battery life was a big ugh for a top line phone. So it really depends on what are you looking for. Ps: please make sure that the case is a good one, the front glass is really sensitive.

Using an s20 plus here in 2022, if it wasn't for the battery backup this is still a great phone. everything from build quality , display, perfomance, speakers , camera it all holds up on par with what 2022 flagships have to offer and then some like SD card support, IP68 and reverse wireless charging. Software is still updated regularly and runs smoothly on the latest One UI

Better get a phone that is future proof the s20 series is done with updates and the s21 series has total of 4 years update left that is including security update and has 2-3 full of updates left.

So I bought my s20 on Nov 2020 its August 2022 now so almost 2 years and I want to share my experience on a pink s20. First the software and and the smoothness of this phone is top notch and still holds up. The only app issues I find myself is youtube which can be extremely laggy and crashes but that only happens around once or twice a week(I watch ALOT of yt vids). Gaming is great no lags at all. The one downside I have is battery life. The battery life of this phone brand new with the 120hz on was between 5 to 6 hours of screen on time. Now after time has passed I have gotten less battery life around 4 to 5 hours of screen on time. No I'm not going down 60hz. Once you go 120 there's no going back. Camera is great with good lighting low lighting or indoor with yellow lighting the camera struggles including videos. However I still have no plans to buy a new phone my next one will be an ultra just not sure which year lul. So if your looking for a great phone buy this very worth it.

Some pros and cons I would like to mention here in brief: Pros: *Very smooth and vibrant display. (dynamic amoled) *Delivers great performance in multitasking/gaming *Don't lags/jitters at all *Great quality camera *Stable and clear videos (doesn't looks dull, upto detail) *Charging (100% in around 1 hr) Cons: *Looks like some mid-range phone from back *Battery backup isn't quite nice *Networks sometimes low *Warms up sometimes

I think at this price you cannot go wrong. An A53 5G at that price range is barley competitive. Camera in the S20 is way better and the snapdragon 865 slaps it around silly. Plus way better screen and you don’t have to worry about the antenna issues the 53 has.

I still use my s20+ and it’s been a breeze. The battery was an issue for most people, but i use it on 90hz and it’s been not bad. I get about 4 hours on a single charge and I charge it twice a day. The performance has been great tho I don’t play games. Overheating can be a an issue when using the camera but mostly it’s manageable. The cameras are one of the best I have ever used! Takes solid photos and my friend has the s21 ultra and sometimes the shots from my s20+ look better thanks to the 12 mp sensor. I got it on sale for about $450 in 2020 December and it was the best deal ever.

Ive got the s20 plus and it took me a while to warm up to the phone after first getting it, but now I don't think I've owned or even used a better phone. Mine is the exynos so I used to be a bit salty about battery, but it only got better with updates not to mention the fast charging really does the trick for me. The camera is great and reliable and I really do love almost everything about this phone! I use goodlock to change a few things like the UI and it keeps the phone fresh! The only minor annoyance I have towards the phone (and it really is quite a non issue) is that due to the chipset, in bright sunlight and during the summer with an average range of temperatures between 88 and 96F, the screen on full brightness dims due to the heat and it doesn't reach its full brightness. However, in winter this does not happen! The screen is sharp and colors are out of this world! 60hz all the way (mainly for resolution)! Great stuff

I actually prefer the 64mp crop on the telephotos as it enables me to see things farther than dedicated fixed resolutions telephoto lens do. I dont think anyone would use a telephoto lens for photography that much as it mainly is for utility in seeing things farther away and the 64mp crop enables you to do that for farther distances. And also, the reverse wireless charging helps a lot when your earbuds go low on battery. Had it useful in a lot of cases. Make sure that you take these things into context of people actually using them instead of just basing them only on your own experiences.

I've had an S10e for the last 2 years. I don't really see the need to get the newest phone since, as you mentioned, the features are similar. I was honestly going to just get another S10 or S10e since the cost of changing the screen myself was more than the phone itself. I really like the s10e size. However, checking the prices I found I could get a refurbished S20 from Amazon for $200. I've been using my work XCover pro this week and the S20 is .1 smaller. It sucks not being able to text one handed to be honest on the larger phones but I've gotten somewhat used to it. On the S10e, I could text/type one handed. I've got pretty big hands and I can almost do it on the XCover. I'm hoping that .1" is enough to make a difference there. I was going to get a S21 but the SD card, lack of apparent differences, and price made that decision for me.

And for your information, both the 990 and 865 are made by Samsung and the Tensor is based on the upgraded 990 model called the 2100. Software upgrades did a lot to level off the throttling caused by the 990 and it handles all of my games well without any hiccups.

I never had the S20 but I did have the S20 Ultra. Sold it then bought another. It's still my favorite phone even though I had the S21 Ultra and now on S22 Ultra. Only today I took out my S20 Ultra for a bit of use. The S20 series are still excellent in my view.

I upgraded from my S8 to this s20 last week. And for me personally this is a beast of a phone even in 2022. Screen, camera, sound quality, software, performance all of these have been incredible. The only valid complain can be made in regards to the battery, while its not super bad, it's not great either unlike the rest of the phone.

Had my S20 for 3 years now. Been looking to replace it and all the newest phone don't seem to match up. The only one that blows the s20 out of the water is the Oneplus 10 and 11. Unfortunately Oneplus doesn't offer financing so I'll wait and see what the s24 will have to offer. Beside some minor screen burn, my s20 is still going strong.

just switched from s20 couple days ago to s22 plus. honestly dont see s22 plus as much of an upgrade, arguably has worse screen due to resolution and i miss being able to change the screens resolution. only problem i had with my own s20 was that the battery had became very very bad at holding charge and the adhesive attaching the back of the phone had became weak causing the back to come off on its own either via overheating or expanding battery. another thing which could very well be exclusive to me was that calls would randomly cut out and i wouldnt be able to send or receive texts for random periods of time. i imagine this is a network issue although i brought it to my provider 3 times and they could not fix the issue, i even changed sim and the issues still persisted. I am now using that same sim in my s22 plus and have had none of the aforementioned issues.

I stopped to buy Galaxy phones after S10 Plus because of the Exynos (the only version here in Cyprus). I bought the S10 Plus from the day one, that with the Ceramic back and 512gb. As a device was amazing, my wife use it till today, but I switched it with the iPhone 12 after almost a year. iPhone gives better experience overall, especially on cameras and performance. It’s sad that Samsung keeps using the Exynos in specific regions because it’s inferior chipset in every way (the battery takes the biggest hit).

Switched over to the iPhone 13 Pro from this phone because it became a colossal pain in the ass to use. After just 1.5 years of usage, it would eke out only 2 - 3 hours of SOT on a single charge and require my banking apps to be restarted multiple times before it could run them. Switching over to the iPhone 13 Pro from it honestly felt like a breath of fresh air for me. The iPhone effortlessly churns out 7 - 8.5 hours of SOT on a single charge, in stark contrast to the 2 - 3 hours eked out by the S20, and, though its user experience occasionally falls victim to poorly optimized/programmed, buggy, crash-prone iOS apps, it is still far more premium and polished than the S20's in my opinion. That said, I'd gladly switch back to Samsung's flagship phones when it masters the art of optimizing the hardware in them for the OS they're running.

A lot of people would say the Samsung Galaxy S10 series is the gold standard of Samsung flagship phones. But if you ask me, when it comes to an entire lineup and not just the Ultra version, I feel as though the S20 series is where Samsung truly peaked. You're getting a QHD display across the board and while it's limited to 60hz, the trade-off to 120hz at FullHD feels much easier to swallow nowadays given that the regular and plus versions of the S21 series and beyond only give you FullHD displays, period. No QuadHD. And then there's the microSD card slot, the last time Samsung included it. Honestly, I'm at the point where I no longer miss the headphone jack so... Also, keep in mind that this phone started out at $1000. I can pick one up on eBay new for under $300. And while it may not get Android 14, I'm personally getting it for the cameras, since my current daily driver only has the wide and ultrawide cameras. Plus the S20 makes for a good backup phone and/or secondary driver.
