With no “e” model this year, the Samsung
Galaxy S20 is the smallest of the new flagship trio. With a 6.2” screen, it’s
roughly the same size as its predecessor (slightly narrower and slightly
taller, due to the 20:9 aspect ratio). Like the S20+, this screen has 120Hz
refresh rate and 1440p+ resolution.
The 10MP selfie camera hasn’t changed much
since the S10 generation, but the punch hole is smaller and is now centered.
The S20+ has the same front camera (note: there’s no depth sensor on the front
unlike the S10+). Galaxy S20’s rear cameras uses the same 12MP main module,
8K-capable 64MP telephoto camera and 12MP ultrawide imager as the Plus model.
The only difference is the lack of the DepthVision sensor.
The battery capacity on the Galaxy S20 is
4,000mAh and the phone supports 25W wired and 15W on the Galaxy S20+. It goes
without saying that both S20 phones feature IP68 level of dust and water
resistance.
Like the Plus model, the Galaxy S20 is
powered by either a Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 chip, paired with 8GB or 12GB
of RAM. There’s only one storage option here, 128GB, but again you have a
microSD slot if you need more. The phone will be available in Cosmic Cray,
Cloud Blue and Cloud Pink. The Samsung Galaxy S20 will start at € 900 (4G,
8/128GB), if you want the 5G model the price tag is € 1,000/US$ 999. Note that the
smaller S20 only supports the sub-6GHz flavor of 5G.
Pre-orders start today, the first S20
units will start shipping on March 13. If you pre-order, you're eligible for a free
pair of Galaxy Buds+ (worth € 170 on their own). Note that the 4G versions of
the phones are available only in the base RAM/storage configuration.
