Before the GALAXY S20 + review I came up with 10 reasons why I consider it one of the best hardware and software packages in the field of Android smartphones.
The top range launched by the South Korean company is always a candidate among the best smartphones of that year, and through GALAXY S20 + I would say that they managed to develop a complete phone, from design to software, camera and video. , sound, etc.
We have structured the 10 PRO points that Samsung GALAXY S20 + has against the competition in the Android universe and not only fights without any problem with iPhones released by Apple.
1. design;
Here it would include several elements:
- a stylish phone with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and back with interesting reflections;
- compact for 6.7 inches of screen (screen / body ratio of over 90%, more precisely 90.5%);
- IP68 certification for resistance to contact with water and dust;
In fact, the main room stands out (it is solved with a protective cover). It must be profiled in some way to implement the OIS in the main camera and the sensor of the camera.
It is a beautiful smartphone, manufactured with the utmost attention to detail, with good quality materials, since Samsung has accustomed us from the GALAXY S6 to the new generations. By the way, you can use it without the cover, you don’t feel it slipping out of your hand, it offers handle enough. Of course, the extra attention doesn’t hurt, and Samsung has good quality cases for their phones (especially for the high-end, I stuck with the idea of Alcanta cases from Samsung GALAXY S8 Plus)
2. The best display on the market;
Samsung increased the refresh rate to 120Hz in FHD or QHD + resolution by 60Hz. I would not say that this is the main element for which this phone has the best panel on the mobile phone market.
We are talking about a combination of factors:
- high resolution (3200 × 1440 pixels, 512 ppi, 20: 9 aspect ratio), for those with hawk eyes who see pixels in FHD resolution (not my case);
- natural display colors, high brightness (in automatic mode it can exceed 1000 nits, for additional readability under the action of sunlight);
- HDR10 + certified (viewers of Prime Video content may be happy);
- Various settings (vivid and natural modes + advanced settings with color balance adjustment not only in white, but also in red, yellow and blue). I can mention the Dark Mode here for those interested in gaining additional autonomy on an AMOLED screen, blue light filter, etc.
I think Samsung managed to keep the title of the best screen on the market for the S20 +.
3. The best sound;
There are two speakers, one at the bottom and one at the top of the screen. Sounds loud, sure, low enough. You don’t feel like you’re listening to a phone, but a small portable speaker. It does not distort at all. You can feel the stereo effects immediately, not only when you listen to music, but also in games.
Dolby Atmos certification is not only there with the name, you feel that they have made great efforts in terms of sound. I don’t know of any other smartphone that is at a similar level, I am surprised that there are still premium Android phones with a single speaker that you often end up connecting with your finger.
I take off my hat at what Samsung has accomplished on the sound side. The headphones in the package are AKG, in textile thread (the best wired headphones included in the package with a mobile phone in 2020).
4. Expandable storage;
Samsung has remained among the few companies offering microSD slots at its top of the range. It is an aspect that some people consider, the 128 GB UFS 3.0 type can be complemented by a microSD (Samsung has some interesting products, you can choose cards to store 8K files on).
5. Maximum connectivity;
You can choose between a 4G and 5G (SA / NSA) model. We are the second generation of Samsung smartphones with Wi-Fi 6 / axis, USB type C type 3.2, ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Incidentally, speeds in 4G go up to 2000 Mbps in download / 200 Mbps in load, values that as far as I know the competition has not reached (only in 5G). Of course, telephony networks must also allow the combination of multiple frequency bands to achieve what Samsung has included in its flagship smartphones.
6. Excellence at the camera and video level;
Samsung GALAXY S20 Plus has a main camera with 4 sensors:
- 12 megapixels with f / 1.8, dual pixel PDAF and OIS;
- 64 megapixels with f / 2.0, PDAF, OIS and hybrid optical zoom;
- 12 megapixel with ultra wide f / 2.2 type, Super Steady video function;
- 0.3 megapixel TOF 3D depth of field sensor.
It is capable of shooting 8K / 4320p at 24 fps, 2160p at 60 fps, 1080p at 240 fps, stereo sound, gyro-EIS, and OIS, 720p at up to 960 fps, etc.
We are dealing with one of the best combinations in terms of camera and video. I also like how the shutter reacts when you take a photo, it reminds me a bit of DSLR noise.
7. Optimized software, with many options, without bloatware;
One UI 2.0 is an evolution of the first generation of One UI, optimized here and there. It has remained one of the best interfaces ported through Android. There are many options, from the way you navigate the interface to the customizations you can make through themes, AOD screens, etc.
Gone are the days when Samsung was accused of putting many pre-installed apps on their smartphones. In the case of S20 + you can only find Facebook, Netflix, Galaxy Store and Bixby.
Those looking for certain proprietary Samsung apps and more have the GALAXY store in addition to the Play Store app store. It seems to me to be the best and safest store outside of the one developed by Google for its Android smartphones.
8. Secure Folder + Samsung Pass + Link to Windows + Samsung DeX
Secured Folder with Knox technology seems to me the best method on a smartphone to protect files that you think deserve more attention, you don’t want to put yourself in the hands of a criminal, etc. Samsung Pass saves you from having to worry about passwords on multiple accounts and is another safe way to protect key information.
Link to Windows and Samsung DeX are two other features that I appreciate from the Samsung S20 series. DeX has become easier to use than ever, and Link to Windows is another step forward in increasing productivity.
9. Software update;
Buyer of GALAXY S20 + enjoys 2 years of software updates received monthly, with a compilation of the latest security patches, updated firmware and bug fixes etc. I can certify this because I used GALAXY S7, S8 Plus and Note 9. There was not a month that a software update did not arrive.
I know I am not the fastest to bring an iteration of Android, but here I also think that the GALAXY S20 + will move to Android 11 or whatever the new software is called, probably in early 2021 (as happened with the S10 generation and Android 10 ).
10. autonomy;
They have integrated a 4500 mAh battery that is charged at 25W by cable, wireless at 15W and has the function of wireless charging for other 9W compatible devices. Autonomy differs, with maximum brightness and lasts games intensely for hours. In normal use situations, it is not possible to not pass the one-day test (automatic screen mode, navigation, YouTube, Netflix, etc.). Those who do not overdo it can reach 1.5 – 2 days (under certain conditions, the brightness is set below 50%, without getting to work in sustained mode for hours).
It is not the cheapest smartphone, but it is not the most expensive either. You can find it in the 4G configuration at around 4400 lei, it has reached the offer of all the mobile operators, there are offers in which it is promoted on the loyalty / extension side of the contract or the port.
There is also a 400 lei refund that you can catch these days.
Samsung GALAXY S20 Plus I would say that it offers a complete package, superior hardware with Exynos 990 developed in the latest lithography technology, connectivity worthy of a high-end smartphone, camera with many sensors for different situations (wide, tele or ultra wide) , optimized software.
