GALAXY A20s: UMA LETRA a mais e MUITAS DIFERENÇAS... para pior | Análise / Review By TudoCelular

The Galaxy A20s is an updated version of the A20, which arrived at the beginning of the year costing salty one thousand three hundred reais. It had a bad cost-effective at the time, and now Samsung repeats the formula bringing this "enhanced" version for the same price. Is the A20s a better buy? This is what you see now in this full review of TudoCelular. com. And you will also see how it performs against competitors from Xiaomi and Motorola. Shall we go? The A20s is a simple cell phone made of plastic.

It comes in the same three color choices as your brother: black red and blue. The difference is that instead of matte paint, which is more common on cheap phones, the A20s has a glossy finish. that gives the impression of higher quality, however, it scratches way easier. Looking at each other, they look identical - a drop-shaped notch on the top and a protruding chin on the bottom. The new one has wider bezels, and this happens because the brand ended up replacing the AMOLED screen with an LCD one.

Also, by having more inches the A20s is bigger and heavier. As we saw in the A30s, Samsung has also made some cuts here to add an extra camera at the rear. Bluetooth 5.0 is out and now we have an older version What is most disappointing is the replacement of the Super AMOLED panel for a standard LCD, which is not even IPS. You get more screen and you lose quality - the colors are more washed out and the viewing angles are very limited. The brightness level is decent and even better than what we saw in the most basic models of the line, like the A10 and M10.

The resolution remains the same as before. The sound part also does not change; We have the same speaker at the bottom, which plays mono sound. The sound quality is decent for a device in this price range. It delivers good power and does not distort that much at maximum volume. The bundled earphone is the same as before.

Compared to what Motorola and ASUS offer with their phones It is really shameful to see Samsung still including such an old and low-quality model today. The processor is still octa-core, but now with higher speed due to the exchange of Exynos 7884 for Snapdragon 450. Do you prefer Samsung or Qualcomm hardware? Well, here's the bad news: the A20s is slower than the A20. Much slower. He also eats dust for his main rivals.

The hardware is not that much the one to blame, as there are Korean phones with this chipset that are much faster, but Samsung really got it wrong. In benchmarks, we also have a lower score with the latest model. If you are the type with high numbers you will be disappointed with the A20s. But what about games? At least in this, is he good? There are titles that run well, such as Asphalt 9 and Call of Duty Mobile, provided it does not require high graphic quality; lighter games run without gagging. In the battery part, nothing has changed.

Samsung kept the same 4000 mAh as the A20 and, as the screen resolution was also maintained, we have the same autonomy as before. That's good, after all, the A20s can deliver battery for a full day of use and even a little charge for the next morning. The charger offers the same maximum power of 15 watts, but here it takes longer to make the phone and from 0 to 100%; it's weird to see the 20s take 40 minutes longer to reload having the same battery size as the A20. The problem is not the charger itself, but apparently a limitation of the hardware of the device. It comes out of the box with Android Pie and One UI interface; Samsung has announced that its new basics will be upgraded to Android 10 only in June 2020 along with the Galaxy A20.

Yeah, it will take a while. In the meantime, everything you find in the other model is also present here, like the dark mode of the interface and so on. The bad thing is that this will not help to save battery power as the LCD screen does not turn off the pixels when displaying black color. At least it will help reduce the visual stress when using your mobile phone in the dark. The One UI has never been an example of fluidity, and on the cheaper models, the lag is more constant.

Maybe with version 2.0 being released with Android 10 a little bit better the A20s experience. We have reached the most important point of the A20s: the camera. The main one maintains the same resolution as before but now has a larger focal aperture. The ultra-wide has increased in resolution and we even got a dedicated sensor for portrait mode. Before we get into the details, let's quickly say that the camera of the Galaxy A20s disappoints.

Increasing the resolution did not bring great quality in photos with the widest lens and we even see worse results than in A20 in some cases. Portrait mode also leaves something to be desired; in many cases, blurring is not done in all parts of the scenario, Not to mention that you can only adjust the intensity of the effect before taking the picture. If you do not like the result you will have to do another capture. A20 camera did the basics and can even take good pictures when the light is favorable, This is the same as the A20s. Photos of plants or animals come out clearly and the balance is more accurate than other Samsung basics.

The problem is that hdr doesn't always hit and we have images with such an exaggerated effect exaggerated that looks until the photos are dirty - and it also affects the secondary camera with a wide-angle lens. Indoor photos are noisy, and this gets even worse with the ultra-wide lens. In really dark places everything gets complicated and rarely will you be able to register something besides the darkness. The front camera can take good selfies outdoors - in low light, the quality of photos drops dramatically. Portrait mode works best with the front camera but it turns off the hdr against the light and we have pictures with a burst-white sky.

If you are looking for a cheap phone to record videos you may want to think twice before buying the Galaxy A20s. Although shooting in Full HD the quality is not the best, especially in darker locations. The wide-angle lens also records at the same resolution, but it has a sudden drop in speed, eliminating the fluidity in the video. The audio capture is good and even better than other phones in this segment. Is it worth investing in the Galaxy A20s or do we have better options? The idea is that Samsung's new release would be superior to the older model, however, it is slower and has a poorer camera; The battery lasts the same but spends a lot of time in the outlet.

Not to mention that you give up the AMOLED screen. In the same price range, you'll find the Moto G8 Play, Redmi 8 and LG's K12 Prime, all three offer better performance. especially the Xiaomi model. If the battery is the most important to you, then go for the Motorola model, which lasts two days easily. Were you disappointed with the A20s camera? The Redmi 8 records better shots at night and works better in portrait mode.

If having a wide-angle camera is more important then the LG K12 Prime would be a better choice. The Galaxy A20 is a disappointing phone that has come in at a very high price. and so does the Galaxy A20s now. Samsung and asks R$ 1,300 fot it and it's far from worth it all. Of course, its price has begun to fall can now be found for less than R$ 1000, Still, it's a lot more game to invest in the A20 that costs a lot less and is better overall.

If you really care about having a Samsung phone in the price range of the galaxy A20s so we recommend the galaxy A30, which is much better.
