We’re buzzing with excitement here for the latest Samsung launch. It’s 20 years since their first camera phone, and now, they’re going “From a phone with a camera to a camera with a phone”. Here’s the lowdown on the Galaxy S20 5G Ultra, Galaxy S20 +5G, Galaxy S20 5G and Galaxy S20 4G.

Why S20?

You may be wondering why Samsung jumped to S20 from the S10 last year. The launch of the S20 range, celebrates not only the start of the new decade but also a breath-taking new era of Samsung smartphones. Whoa.

Let’s take a closer look at the S20 devices.

New Features in 2020

5G

It must be mentioned – 3 out of the 4 are 5G phones, compared to only the S10 5G last year. So, you’ve got more reasons to dive into the future. Stream as much as you want with low lag and download movies in seconds. Check if you’re in one of our 5G network areas which are due to go live very soon.

Cameras

The mighty S20 range has been called “the smartphone to end all cameras” and we can see why. The Galaxy S20 Ultra zooms ahead of other Samsung phones with its camera spec. It’s got an incredible 108MP Ultra Wide Camera and with virtually no shutter delay. You can capture more than ever before and with lightning fast speed. Added to this is a 40MP front camera for selfies and 48MP telephoto camera. So, taking professional looking photos is super easy.

Space Zoom

We’re dying to try this out. The new mammoth 100x optical Space Zoom camera on the Ultra, means that even the night sky is within its periscopic reach. Cue some photos that are out of this world.

Pro Video Mode and Single Take Photo

An 8K video on the Ultra gives you a movie studio at your fingertips, with speed and quality to make your own Hollywood epics. There were rumours about Pro Video Mode returning and we’re chuffed that it has. This allows you to manually change the exposure, ISO, shutter speeds or colour tone so you can create videos like a pro. Plus, with Single Take Photo – pan over a scene for only 15 seconds and the camera will automatically snap the most perfect pics or videos. Cool, eh?

Design

The big screen designs continue this year with a huge 6.9in for the Ultra. It’s like having your own personal cinema. All you need to do is get comfy on the sofa and let yourself be drawn into all the action in smooth, picture perfect clarity at 120Hz – up from 60Hz in the S10. It’s good news if you prefer a flat screen too. Samsung’s given the S20 range less curvature, which is also loads better for durability and it’s easier to hold.

There are a bunch of new colours to choose from with Cosmic Black, Cosmic Grey, Cloud Blue and Cloud Pink.

Performance

Exynos 990 is the new processor for the S20. It promises to be 25% faster and 35% more efficient. So, what does that mean? Basically, the system will be better, smoother and faster. You’ll see the difference whether you’re using it for 5G, gaming, photography, AR or navigating your way round on a city break.

Battery

Samsung have packed in their biggest battery yet, going all the way up to 5000mAh on the S20 5G Ultra. The 45W charger can do 0 to 100% in 74 mins and keep its charge longer than ever before. You can enjoy nights out in style without worrying about dragging your charger along with you.

What are the differences?

5G

Which one is best for you? If you want to get on the crazy fun 5G train then you can choose from, either S20 Ultra 5G, S20+ 5G or S20 5G. Get set to speed into tomorrow with next to no lag or buffer. If you’re happy to stay with 4G, you can still upgrade to the stunning S20 4G model. It has all the same spec as the S20 5G apart from the 5G capability.

Size

All the S20 range are tall. From a little under 152mm in length for the 4G and 5G to 161 mm for the S20+ and a staggering 166mm for the Ultra. The S20 range is built to see more and do more than you ever thought possible. You’ll have a 6.2in screen on your S20 4G and 5G and 6.7in for the 5G+. Not large enough? Then jump to a humongous 6.9in for the S20 Ultra.

Not surprisingly, the weight of each varies also according to the size. The lightest of the 4 are the 4G and 5G at 163g, the S20+ weighs 186g and the Ultra weighs in at a substantial and not so pocket sized – 220g.

Cameras

If great quality cameras are at the top of your list, then you’ll be in for a treat. With the Ultra’s huge 108MP wide camera you can shoot like a pro, capturing even more jaw-dropping landscapes on your travels or at home.

For the front camera, the Ultra has an incredible 40MP for sleek, gorgeous selfies every time. All the range have an AI Smart Selfie Angle feature that detects when you’re squeezing a few more mates into the picture and adjusts the focus from regular to wide for you.

One down from the Ultra is the S20+ which displays a 64MP telephonic lens, 10MP front camera and a 12MP wide camera. It also shares a time of flight sensor with the Ultra. It’s perfect for using with AR features like Doodle. We’ve heard that Samsung are creating an AR Zone so watch out for lots more AR apps coming out soon.

Space Zoom

If you love your astrophotography, then the Ultra gives you a colossal 100x Space Zoom, or 30x with the S20+ 5G, S20 5G and 4G. Whether you’re taking photos of the stars or a faraway view, you’ll get amazing details right up close.

Video

All the S20 range are rocking 8K resolution at 24FPS. Pro Video Mode and Super Steady for that centre of the action shot. Shoot clearer, smoother videos with no bother at all. And you can even turn your fave video clips into still pictures with Single Take.

Battery

The Ultra is sitting with a whopping 5000mAh. That’s a heap of battery life in anyone’s book. 2 day party, anyone? The S20+ 5G has a huge 4500mAh and the S20 5G and 4G a 4000mAh. So, you can leave your charger at home and game, stream, download and post those weekend selfies. And while you’re out, why not save your BFF’s night by using your phone’s wireless charging pad to give theirs a boost.

Storage

If you’re looking for storage – all have 128GB of storage and an SD card slot for additional memory. The Ultra of course, has a little extra with a 512GB storage option for saving as many apps, pictures and videos as you like.
