About this deal

I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 plus 5G, for 7 months and am very satisfied with the phone. The only downside to this device is the camera, it's not that high resolution, but other than that I quite like the phone. The price-performance ratio is good, as the phone is not that expensive and delivers great quality with it. The battery lasts approx. one day and then must be reloaded after. The phone is highly recommended. There’s more good news, too: alongside superb performance, battery life is top notch. In our video rundown test, with the display set to 170cd/m2 brightness and flight mode enabled, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus lasted an impressive 20hrs 12mins.

Well, they’re very good but not the best I’ve ever come across. In a side-by-side comparison of shots captured with the iPhone 11 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera (in daylight), I saw a little more contrast and lower noise levels in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus shots, while the iPhone images looked a touch more natural and neutral overall: The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus’ 6.7-inch AMOLED display is sharp and vibrant, with WQHD+ resolution (3200 x 1440). The display is a shade taller than the S10 Plus’ QHD+ (3040 x 1440) screen, which is likely due to it having less bezel at the top and bottom. But you likely won’t notice a difference given how similar they are – at least until you get to the refresh rate. Bear in mind, however, that this result was obtained with the phone in its default settings. That is with the resolution set to FHD+ and the refresh rate at the more standard 60Hz. Bump the settings up to 120Hz and you can expect that figure to nose-dive by at least a couple of hours, which is okay but not quite as impressive. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is in many ways higher end than the standard Samsung Galaxy S21, but you might want to look at the Galaxy S21 Plus instead, and for the true top Samsung flagship the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the only choice.

5G Connectivity

Samsung’s S-series phones have always boasted top-tier specs, and the S20 Plus is no exception. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset in the US or Exynos 990 in other countries (including the UK and Australia) and 12GB of RAM baseline breeze through games, media binges, and multi-app multitasking.

The screen covers the entire front, leaving negligible bezels around it; even the most prominent bottom bezel is quite narrow. Among the benefits of that 120Hz display is that, in games that support it, the onscreen framerate can reach much higher than the usual 60fps you get with phones that have 60Hz screens. In the onscreen Manhattan GFXBench test, the S20 Plus achieved an average frame rate of 105fps, which is among the highest we’ve ever seen in this test. (Note: we attempted to retest the OnePlus 7T Pro in this test but it remained capped at 60fps, despite the 90Hz option being selected in the display settings.) One last point: you might want to turn on facial recognition since the in-screen fingerprint sensor is poor. Camera Your favourite smartphone content has never looked better than when it’s on the Galaxy S20+’s 6.7” Infinity-O Display. With just a tiny punch-hole selfie camera, the edge-to edge display is practically all screen giving you an immersive viewing experience.Camera is pretty good. Zoom works quite well upto 10X and after that pictures tend to lose their quality. Night mode is quite decent and selfie camera is amazing as well. Proximity Sensor, Hall Effect Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope Sensor, Accelerometer (G-Sensor), Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor The rear camera set consists of 4 lenses. The main camera is a 12 MP (f/1.7) wide-angle with OIS. With a large 1/1.76-inch sensor, it ensures noise-free images even under poor lighting conditions. It is paired with a 12 MP (f/2.2) ultra wide angle lens. The 64 MP (f/2.0) telephoto lens offers 3x lossless hybrid optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. It is also equipped with optical image stabilisation. The S20 Plus' camera set differs from the smaller S20's in that it includes a fourth camera -- a time-of-flight depth sensor for bokeh mode. The camera shoots 8K video with a frame rate of up to 30 fps. The 10 MP selfie camera captures 4K video at up to 30 fps. Powerful Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus doesn’t look much different to its predecessor, but this is the sleekest device in a long line of flagships – and that isn’t a bad look. I have had the Galaxy S20 Plus from Samsung for 6 months and am really satisfied with it. The phone has a good camera and fast response time. Also, there are many ways to set it. I think the phone is a bit big for an average sized hand. But still, it's good. The price-performance ratio is also right. So whether you're editing photos in Photoshop or Lightroom, or parachuting into your one-millionth round of PUBG, the Galaxy S20 Plus has the grunt to keep up. We tested it with media and games, and the phone handled everything without a problem – even when pumped up to 1440p resolution or 120Hz refresh rate, the phone didn’t heat up under pressure.

Powerful Performance

That said, having both mmWave and sub-6 makes the S20 Plus available on more carriers, especially ones that only have one or the other. Assuming carriers keep building out those networks and, crucially, in ways that maintain compatibility with the S20 Plus, the phone could be future-proofed for years to come, unlike the mmWave-only Samsung Galaxy S10 5G or sub-6-only OnePlus 7 Pro 5G. Performance Of course, you don’t have to spend even this much and there are other manufacturers offering phones with similar feature sets for considerably less. The OnePlus 7T Pro, for example, has a triple camera array and a high-refresh-rate display, although it’s 90Hz versus the Samsung’s 120Hz. Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus review: Design and key features
