Samsung GALAXY S20 Unboxing and Tour! By Droid Life

What's, going on guys welcome back killing here again with droid life, so Samsung Galaxy has 20 in the building. It's its that week. These little bad boys are starting to arrive at doorsteps, we're we're almost a week, or we'll five days early or something like that, but either way, if you pre-ordered the s20 from Samsung, there's a good chance. You got your phone, so we've got one Galaxy S 20. Obviously it says: 5g we're in the US everything's 5g ultra zest, 20 pluses, all those are rolling out as well, we'll have an S 20, altar unboxing before you know it we're starting first, though, with this guy, yes 20, which is what I'll be reviewing so uh, let's dive in its Galaxy S 20 unboxing, so you might be wondering why Called did you get the s20? Not the plus, not the ultra? Well, the ultra Tim will have that. So again, we'll have an unboxing of that he'll review the ultra.

You know he'll dive into the mega camera thing there and the giant phone I prefer smallish phones and if you missed it, I already wrote a story about why I think the S 20 plus should not exist. There should be an S 20 or the ultra that in between just makes no sense, so I one of the smallest one, which is still not small. It still has a 6.2 inch, quad HD display, but that's pretty much the reason. So anyway, let's go with the unboxing here. So this is the unlocked model.

I like unlocked I know. Sometimes the updates are slower to these, but I just know: there's no bloatware, there's no extra crap I get a basic stock, Samsung experience, and then I get to make it my own. So uh, that's pretty much. The packaging is pretty minimal. It's you know silly that there's the 5g logos all over everything, I mean I'm gonna, put a Teems sim in here and I live in Portland, so I should technically get 5g, Bacall, 5 G's, whatever man so unboxing, here's the phone which color did I, go well.

Of course, I went with the gray. Everyone should probably go that there's a blue and there's a pink and there and this color. This is the cutlery almost matches the desk. Let's set it there and see if it just blends on in there. Alright continuing this unboxing there's that's a piece of paper.

Oh, so we have fast charger. I believe this is the 25 watt. Let's see looking not seeing thought it was either way fast. Charging I got fast charging. You know it says superfast charger, so it should be the 25 watt.

What else is in here? What is this? What is this man? How do I even get in this thing? I always struggle for those of you been around for a long time. There's absolutely nothing in here. It's just a thing: it's just it's just kept. This must be just a cable. It is this.

Is your USB? Oh, oh, we're going USB do USB, see now Samsung, okay yeah, so they did USB seem to see the reason I'm pointing this out is Samsung for years and years now has been doing, USB see, but they've been doing USB a to see. So when you were connecting to your old phone and transferring over II had to use this weird adapter instead of just letting you plug cable indicate, it was obnoxious, so yeah, I'm, weirdly, excited and well. That's why all right? What else? These are your buds? So no headphone, jack, so USB, say: hey, see, see earbuds AKG tuned. You know these are fine. I've used these buds off and on over the years, in fact, on the droid live show lately I've been wearing the regular 3.5 millimeter ones, not these, but anyway that's what's in the box. Lets uh, we should probably look at this huh.

Alright, we are cleaned up. Let's stick plastic off. There was no sim sticker there, which is fabulous because that's usually the worst one to take off Juan, there's gotta be a sticker here. Eh, there we go. Oh, oh sticky, I! Don't think that was a screen protector, even if it was I, would have taken it off.

Okay, so uh, if stickers up here, ah there's just stickers everywhere, just look at all these little things make sure you pull these off everyone on the side, nope just top and bottom. Alright, alright Samsung feels that alright, so here's the phone. Sorry about that so galaxy s, xx ooh feels like the first I'm holding it by the way it's hopefully it's got some juice, it does galaxy s, xx, I'm, not gonna, say the 5g thing. It's just a galaxy s2. Yes, it's hard by android new logo.

It's running Android, 10, so s20. Let's talk specs, then we'll dive into software for a second once this finishes up. You know also one thing: while this is booting, if this was the 18 T model, you'd be going dun dun, dude, and you'd get all the awful song sing with Verizon there'd, be all the bloatware up front, telling you to sign up for yeah, telling you to sign up for cloud services and whatever with the unlocked version, you don't you don't get any of that. It just says: hey thanks for buying this phone from Samsung. Let's get it set up, so specs 6.2 inch, quad, HD, plus a dynamic AMOLED infinity. Oh, the oh, is the front camera cut out there, its quad HD, 120, Hertz.

Remember so the big cell here, 120 Hertz refresh rate everything should be ridiculously smooth, so OnePlus phones from last year and then also the pixel for remember. They went 90 Hertz, which is a bump up from 60. We went from 60 and Samsung up to 120 in order to run it at 120, though, while I just said this is quad HD you do have to drop it down to full. HD I'll show that once we get into software. So if you want to run it at 120 Hertz, you have to drop the resolution down you're not going to mind I promise you what else we have Snapdragon 865 in here.

Hence, the 5g stuff, so snaps training, 65 the newest territory, 12 gig ram, because this is the 5g version. We have 12 gig ram.128 GB internal storage does have SD support up to one terabyte. If you don't have the 5g version, which will be no one in the U. S. that only has 8 gig ram, either way 5g version and 12 gigs, you have a triple rear camera setup here, which you can see.

This has kind of been one of the main focuses here from Samsung, so that triple rear camera setup is ultra-wide 12 megapixels 12 megapixels, regular wide-angle, and then you have a 64 megapixel telephoto. When you compare this to the galaxy, the galaxy has 20, plus the only difference is the S 20 plus also has a time of flight or depth sensor like right in there somewhere, I like where that gap is under the flash. That's the only difference, otherwise same exact camera on the smaller version versus the S 20, plus just no time of flight, which you'll probably be fine. Without on the front you do have where that hole punches or that infinity. Oh, that is a 10 megapixel selfie camera inside you have a four thousand William hour battery in here, so as small is and thin as this phone is pretty large.

Battery 4000 remembers to like Google with its four XL that was just released 3700 William hours, something not even as big as this, and I'm not going to lie. This feels somewhat smaller dainty her lighter wireless charging fast charging wireless power share. So if you have some buds like I, have some buds hold on reaching? Oh, no I just turned on accessibility mode. Okay, ignore that um. What I was saying is wireless power share.

You can throw these on the back, and they should charge it's not working right now, if I have to turn it on and if C MST for Samsung pay, ultrasonic fingerprint reader right there in the screen, which you know I'm not looking that forward to, but at least it has one right: Google, ip68 water and dust resistant, stereo speakers, USB-C port on the bottom there's one speaker, other speaker is up here and this grill I do believe no power buttons or no buttons at all. I should say on this left side. So that means no big speed button on this right side. You have power and volume, and you know they're actually in proper spots, like here's my hand, I'm, holding this normal power button volume remember last year the volume they put like at that top. You had to adjust your whole hand just to like it was so weird I, don't Samsung is always kind of struggled with buttons up top, though there's your SD card and in SIM tray right there, that's pretty much it as far as tour goes just a Samsung logo down here, nothing else in the back.

Let's, let's fire up some software, and we just powered on through the setup process, and here we go so really edge to edge display here. I mean Samsung is really well. First, let me acknowledge this. The curved display. Do you guys know? I am Michael the curve.

You know, I am NOT. A fan of curved displays. They've, mostly eliminated I mean I, guess this could technically fall under the waterfall department. Where is that kind of goes to the edge and then there 's's a little steep drop-off, but we don't have that really pronounced curve that affects you know how you actually use the phone, so I'm a fan. So far this it's mostly flat, like you, can see where the edge where the black bezel is right.

There that's kind of well, the curse starts just before that. So you might, it might not be bad so anyway, let's, let's look a little at software, so this is Samsung's one UI ?, one UI ?, and this is Android ten. So if we scroll down about phone software, 1 UI 2.1, so it's actually above ?, Android, 10 buttons, navigation buttons, we'll have to change those right away. Some other things to show you themes, wallpaper, display, dark theme. Of course, we have light themes.

You can schedule all this stuff motion smoothness. So here we go. This is the important one 60-hertz out of the box. So if you get a galaxy s, 20 just know out of the box, it's going to be at 60, not 120. So if you want to go high, refresh rate says, get more realistic, animations and smoother scrolling cool hit, apply, did I hit, apply, I did now; it should just be smooth it you're, not gonna, be able to see this on camera I can tell I can tell already, even though I know you can, but you can see.

The resolution, though, dropped to Full HD. It might have been there, but it definitely will have to press blue light filter and all that stuff navigation bar. We can do the Android gestures. So now we have gestures, swipe up and hold swipe in from the edge to go back. You guys know these.

These are Android.10 gestures, I've grown to understand how they work now, I, don't completely despise them, but you know they got their issues. You can double tap on this and load into the camera. That was the power button lots of camera stuff. Here we will play more. In fact, I am by no means a Samsung Galaxy S 20 camera expert wasn't at the unveiling.

This is my first time holding it. So we'll walk through all this stuff. You can see of all the modes pro night pro video live focus single take which could be kind of fun. It kind of does like one of those take it. It does all the modes.

Sort of thing cancel that anyway well will dive more into that swipe up. I really wish they would get rid of this swipe up/down thing and the horizontal, whatever Samsung phone, it's the galaxy s 20 again I'm going to throw at emo sim in there we should get some 5g action. We will test it. Camera I'm, actually really looking forward to this phone God, always on display I've been on an OnePlus phone which still doesn't have that which drives me insane the size here, really, really nice so far, I mean just to compare for you. Here's a regular, pixel, four, so not much bigger than the regular pixel for terms of just overall size.

I'm reaching here, one plus seventy plus 17 looks massive. Ignore the fingerprints looks massive next to this guy similar size displays I, I, think reaching at I can't reach the four XL. Sorry guys, you will show you more comparisons. Later, don't worry galaxy s xx. This is just an unboxing.

We will fully dive into everything again. If you want the ultra Tim has that that costs $1,400 this costs, a thousand I- would probably recommend this, even though I've never used it just because of that and some early reviews of the ultra, but you know well we'll get there well we'll figure that out. If you have comments questions, let us know I don't want to drag something longer. We are Droid life piece.
