Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Hands On! By Tim Schofield

Everyone Tim Schofield here and I did get some early hands-on with the upcoming Galaxy s, 20 altar from Samsung, basically, their best flagship they've come out with yet, however, it's also priced extremely high, starting at $1,400 I also will be good getting one of these soon, so you'll see, reviews you'll, see an unboxing coming very soon, so be sure to click that subscribe button. Now, why don't I give you some of my first impressions on this large phone? Yes, it has a good amount of bulk to it that camera system even does on the back takes up a good amount of space, because the sensor size is so large. It even has capabilities of up to 100 times zoom with the camera. So let's take a look at some new features with the camera on the s20 ultra, because that's really what genuinely sets it apart from the other models, obviously, of course with the size as well and also touch on some new features, including that higher refresh rate, let's go and get started. The first thing, I noticed when I held the s20 altar was its size. It is a huge phone, it has a six point.

Nine inch display it also weighs 220 grams, which, when comparing to the s20 plus at 186 grams, is definitely heavier. It's also fairly thick. But of course you do have a large camera sensor, multiple lenses and a large battery inside, which adds to all the size and the weight. There is no headphone jack down at the bottom USB-C slot speakers and then on the right side. You have your power button and a couple volume rockers.

The ultra has a very large six point: nine inch 2k display, which makes for great content consumption, whether you're watching movies, maybe playing some games. It is fantastic again, might be a little harder to handle. You might have to use two hands in certain situations because it is like I said, a very big phone now that display also has a 120 Hertz, refresh rate, which makes things seem very, very smooth. You have to bump it down to 1080p quality, but I would recommend doing that for the benefits of 120 Hertz. If you go up to 1440p, you have to bump it down to 60 Hertz.

The ultra also has a 240 Hertz touch sensor. So not only is it going to look really smooth with that hundred twenty Hertz refresh rate it'll also respond very quickly to your touch with the ultra. It does have 5g. Of course, it also starts with 128 gigs of internal storage and 12 gigs of RAM, but you can actually go all the way up to 16 gigs of ram, which is pretty insane to me that you can have 16 gigs of ram and a phone seems pretty unnecessary right now, but I guess, if you're planning to hold on to the phone for a while it with a future-proof it with the front facing camera on the ultra. It has a 40 megapixel sensor as opposed to the 10 megapixels on the other s20.

So you should get some better front-facing shots and, of course it does have a bit of a smaller cutout compared to the s10. Alright. So one of the biggest things that sets the Ultra part is that rear camera system. So, first, in the upper left, you have a 12 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens, which very happy about adds a lot more to the shot. The second one is a standard wide-angle lens, that's the middle-left lens, and that is a 108 megapixel lens, which is crazy, that you have that in a phone which adds to the size of that system.

On the back with the hundred eight megapixel lens Samsung says that you're going to allow three times more light than the s10 in and one and a half times more than the regular s.20 so should have a lot better night shots and then, of course, just better pictures in general, they have what they were calling known a bidding where it will take nine pixels and actually turn it into one pixel through some software integration. Now that bottom left lens you'll see next to its space zoom 100x. So this is a 48 megapixel telephoto lens, which will zoom all the way up to 10 times without losing any quality. However, you can zoom in all the way up to 100x digitally Samsung has said that there is a prism inside here which grabs the light and then bounces it to the sensor inside the phone when in the viewfinder you can easily swap between that ultra wide-angle, lens and zoom in. It also gives you options to zoom in at different levels, maybe 4 X, 5, X, 10, X and then, of course, all the way up to 100x and make note in the upper left-hand corner.

You do kind of a viewfinder to kind of. Let you know hey. This is the actual angle you're looking at sea it's easier to do when you're zoomed in 100x to really see where you want to pinpoint that lens. Now, I asked Samsung at what zoom length does that Prize lens kick in, and they responded with 4x. So once you get that 4 times zoom on your phone, it switches to that prism.

Lens I'll test that out more once I get full hands on with the phone now. Do you really need a hundred times zoom on a phone, and realistically I know I? Personally, don't I? Don't think it's just something that you're going to test out once and never use again. I think you will use it occasionally throughout time. However, it's not going to be for any detailed shots. It's not going to be for any shots that you're, probably gonna post unless we're trying to show off the hundred times capabilities.

Realistically, the quality is going to be very grainy, it's a cool proof of concept going into the future, and hopefully it gets better and better over time, and this is exactly what I said back when Huawei launched the P 30 in P 30 Pro, when they had 50 x, OOM everyone's like well, the pictures don't look good yeah, that's not necessarily the point. It's also technically a marketing thing that they can really talk about. Oh look, our camera can zoom in a hundred times and when you do it, you're like well I'm, not gonna, post this picture and realistically that's pretty much the case, but I think. Maybe if you want to capture some text here, you want to zoom and show a proof of concept. Otherwise, you're not really going to want to post those pictures.

I wasn't able to pull any of the pictures off of the phone when I got hands-on, so I'm going to need a little more time with the s20 old truck I will actually be getting that very soon. So I'll put some pictures on my Instagram. You can follow that down below, so I'll get those pictures up. I'll take a lot more I'll run around Chicago. Maybe take some cool zoom pictures as well, so you could see the quality of those so stay tuned for that the s20 ultra also includes all the new features coming to the s20 line.

I talked about those more in my ass 20s, 20 plus video, so I, don't kind of want to go over those again, but I'll link to that video. If you kind of missed it, do you want to see some of those new features, including the new quick share kind of rivaling airdrop? You also have music share to connect to your phone with Bluetooth. It's kind of a neat feature. I, don't know how useful it's going to be. Then, of course, the camera features with 8k recording and more, so I'll link to that down below.

So that's everything, we're gonna touch on with the s20 ultra I. Think what sets it apart from the s20 line is obviously that camera. It should produce better pictures, better images, and you can zoom in further, if you'd like to and then also that battery it has a five thousand William hour battery, so it should technically have better battery life. I will do some testing and make sure that it does, but I'm pretty confident that it's going to have the best battery life out of those three phones. I do hope you enjoyed the video be sure to click that subscribe button.
