Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus Review | The Best S20 Model By Direct Mobiles

Welcome to another direct mobile TV, and this time we review the Samsung Galaxy S 20 + LS 20 + 5 G. This one sits in the middle of the s 20 range, although all three of the handsets shouldn't really be considered as mid-range premium or budget they're, all flagship phones and all have 5 G variants. But here's the thing. We think that, even if you're, the type of person who only wants the best- and you have your eye on the s20 ultra well, we think here at Direct, Mobile's, that you should still consider the S 20 plus and here's why the design of Samsung's flagship, S, Series handsets always impresses us. But this time they've really pulled it off. It's hard to appreciate, unless you can hold one of these.

In your hand, it's an elegant design with its 20 by 9 screen aspect ratio, it's very light and slim at 7.8 millimeters in thickness the total opposite of recent 5g enabled handsets which do tend to be a little chunkier than their 4G counterparts. The thin aluminum frame is sandwiched between Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and the back and surrounds the new rectangular camera system, which, despite not having the amazing 100 times zoom range of the s, 20 ultra still performs at an incredible level, and I'll get to the camera shortly. But perhaps the most impressive aspect about the design is the almost non-existent bezels that surround the s 20 pluses display they really are tiny even on the chin, and this really is a gorgeous screen, which is interrupted only by the smallest of Pinhole selfie cameras. Although the screen is very slightly curved at its edges, it's not what you would call a curved display. It is still a flat screen device and just like all, Samsung s-serious phones.

This screen is one of the main highlights. We have a six point: seven inch, quad, HD, +, dynamic AMOLED x to infinity o display with 525 PPI and hast the earth temp + certification, but perhaps the most impressive feature about this screen is its 120 Hertz maximum refresh rate. This means that the screen is refreshed or updated twice as much as regular displays. Giving you much smoother scrolling and animation. For me, this really adds to the whole user experience, although for the moment at least, you can't combine that 120 Hertz refresh rate with the HD+ resolution, you have to drop to 1080p, although this is something that Samsung are working on.

Fixing this display truly is among the very best. There is on any smartphone right now, and it's practically bezel. This design makes it a pleasure to view if one of your main motivations for buying a smartphone is its display. Then Samsung definitely have you covered with the s20 series. Of course, state-of-the-art technology runs on state-of-the-art software and the s20 series comes loaded with android 10 based Samsung 1 UI -.

This time, Samsung have revised their gesture navigation system, and now it requires you to swipe him from the sides of the screen to go back rather than swipe it up. We think that this is definitely an improvement and makes it a much nicer user experience. Of course, we get the system-wide dart mode, which can be scheduled to automatically turn on between sunset and sunrise. Swipe right from the home screen, and you'll be taken to Samsung daily. This will give you a list of widgets to certain apps that are installed on your phone and can be customized in the menu to display the ones you want swipe the tab in the top corner of the display to get quick access to certain apps or to your tools such as the compass tally, counter torch, surface level and ruler.

It also gives you access to smart select, which lets you capture a portion of the screen to use as an image or as a GIF. Of course, this can be customized to display the apps and tools that you want, and that's come in very handy when it comes to the performance of the s20 plus. Well, it is extremely impressive. The performance that you get from the new chipset even compared to last year's note 10 plus, is noticeably faster. The Exodus 990 or the snapdragon 865, depending on your region, together with 12 gigabytes of RAM, may have something to do with that noticeable increase in performance, but it's also the ultra-fast, UFS 3.0 storage that drastically improves loading times, which again adds to the fantastically smooth user experience. The S 20 + 5 g also performs when it comes to its connectivity with sub 6 and millimeter wave bands supported most areas that have 5g at the moment.

Use sub 6 bands which give us good network speeds, but relatively slow in comparison to millimeter wave, which can easily provide speeds in excess of one gigabit per second. So, although millimeter wave speeds are not widely available at the moment, the S 20 + 5 g should eventually get even faster as the networks evolve. The camera is the main difference between this and the more expensive galaxy s, 20 ultra the 108 megapixel sensor and 100 times. Space zoom do not feature in the galaxy s 20 plus, so you might think that you would be getting a camera. That's inferior to the ultra and I suppose.

In some ways, that is true, but the performance of the s, 20 plus camera should not be overlooked, and we absolutely love the pictures that were getting from this phone, and it's not just the photos. Video is also incredible with all the s 20 series being able to shoot video at 8k resolution and with very good stabilization to go with it, but let's start with the front camera, because that is also perfect. It's a 10 megapixel unit with an F 2.2 lens there is. There is no difference between the front and rear cameras in the quality that are provided and best of all, this camera can shoot beautiful, smooth, 4k, video at 60 frames per. Second.

The stabilization is so good that it looks like I'm holding a gimbals here, but I'm. Not this phone is definitely one for the selfie lovers. On the back. We've got a quad camera system for the s 20 plus. This consists of two brand new 12 megapixel sensors.

One is an ultra wide-angle with a 13 millimeter focal length. The other is a normal lens, with a 26 millimeter focal length and an F 1.8 lens. These are paired with Samsung's new 64 megapixel sensor, and it's used with the telephoto lens, providing three times: hybrid optical zoom and a 30 times super resolution. Zoom. This combines the ability to crop the high-resolution images with the optical zoom, to give very usable shots right up to I, would say around about 20 times.

Pushing it to 30 times does see a huge drop in quality, but it really is incredible. How much detail is in these 64 megapixel images? The last lens on the back is its depth of vision, camera for the first time in a Samsung device. We're seeing this brilliant bit of kit, which is a time-of-flight sensor and allows the device to know how far away its subject is and therefore produce fantastic portrait shots and my focus video, as always Samsung packed plenty of features into the camera. App single take is a new feature that allows you to record a short clip where the AI will take it upon itself to choose the best moments and grab images from your video. There's also a new pro video mode, allowing for full manual controls of the video settings perfect for filmmakers, who want to make most of that amazing 8k resolution.

It really is a stunning camera system that is a lot of fun to use and produces quality shots even at high magnification, even though it doesn't have the headline-grabbing specs of the ultra. The real difference between the two cameras is a lot smaller than you think. The quality of the video at all resolutions is incredible, with excellent stabilization, especially at 1080p, with the ultra wide-angle camera able to use super steady, shot. This mode shoots video at a much higher resolution, but will give you a 1080p video allowing the camera too heavily crop in and then correct for any kind of handshake. Stabilization is also very good at 4k and at 4k 60 frames per second, but you'll be really glad to know that even at 8k resolution you get very good stabilization.

It really is incredible what Samsung have done here for video? There are very few cameras that are capable of shoot that 8k resolution and the ones that can cost a lot more than this device. For me, the performance from the camera, especially for video, goes some way to justifying that heavy price tag. Good sound quality with stereo speakers has always been a feature of the S series devices and naturally the galaxy s.20 plus continues that trend and provides a good, well-balanced, sound that has plenty of volume. Let's have a listen captain Rios, please, take me home I got you it's so much sophisticated high-end technology on board. The s20 plus needs a powerful battery to keep it going throughout the day, the s20 plus comes with a four thousand 500 William hour battery, which can be charged quickly with superfast 25 watt charging and 15 watt wireless charging.

The battery performance has been surprisingly good, considering that this phone has to power both a 5g modem, and it's 120, Hertz display switching it to 60 Hertz towers, provides you with a noticeable boost in battery life, although the extra drain of having it in 120 Hertz mode is not as bad as we feared and regardless of how you use it, a full day's use is easily possible. Overall. This is a stunning phone, beautiful design with cutting edge technology, but it does come pricey the galaxy s twenty-plus starts at 899 pounds, whilst the 5g version will cost you 999 pounds. It is a lot of money, but considering that this phone keeps much of the same technology as the more expensive galaxy s, 20 Ultra, including the chipset and the display, is only really in the camera system that we see differences in hardware and although the camera tech in the galaxy s, 20 plus, is not exactly the same, it does match the quality of the more expensive ultra. We're really impressed with the s20 plus here at Direct, Mobile's and actually think is the most sensible purchase than the ultra, but we'd love to know what you think so leave us a comment down below and let us know if you'd go for this phone over the Ultra.
