Samsung Galaxy S20
Galaxy S20 is the first phone from the S20 series. This is the tiniest one with basic features among all of them. This phone packs great battery, outstanding display, glorifying camera, and many more.
Design and Display
The smallest Galaxy S20 has a glass body and comes in a dimension of 151.7 x 69.1 x 7.9mm. There are a great display and a tiny punch hole at the top of the display which doesn’t look distracting. The regular S20 is a true successor of Galaxy S10 and S10+ which was released a year earlier.
As for the design, there is a triple camera setup at the back, USB type C, and speaker at the button and volume rocker and power button at the right. Samsung has finally removed the useless Bixby button from its flagship phones.
Samsung Galaxy S20 comes with a 6.2-inch display, which is a tiny bit bigger than last year’s 6.1-inch S10. The new and improved Samsung Galaxy S20 has a WQHD+ screen of 3040 x 1440 pixels of resolution.
There is a very impressive addition to being excited about the display of this handset – the new 120Hz refresh rate screen. Although it isn’t compatible with WQHD+ resolution, you can’t use the 120Hz refresh rate setting and WQHD+ resolution at the same time.
However, Samsung is offering a default resolution of Full HD+, it looks sharp enough for most tasks and saves battery. The touch-sensitivity on the S20 has been raised to 240Hz to make games more responsive, by sensing your finger touches on the screen at a much higher rate than earlier.
Camera
This is the place where we can find a significant improvement over the previous generation Galaxy S series phone. There are altogether 5 cameras on the phone and this is 2 more than that of S20. All the cameras are powered by AI to match people’s demand for the best capture in every moment.
There are a lot of improvements over the camera and the first thing is Samsung has raised the pixel size from 1.4 microns on the S10 to 1.8, and, another, all the camera sensors are larger than previous.
The telephoto lens jumps from 12MP on the Galaxy S10 to 64MP and it produces 3x optical and 30x digital zoom to the table. Although there is a decrease in megapixel in the ultra-wide lens from 16MP to 12MP, we can see increased sensor size, which is more prominent. At the front, there is a 10MP selfie shooter with no significant improvement.
Furthermore, the Galaxy S20 is the first Samsung phone that records 8K video, which seems like overkill – but you can still crop the image from the video without losing any detail. That’s glorious news for content producers but you can only get 24fps video at 8K and you won’t be getting advanced Steady Stabilization on 8K or 4K video either.
Performance and Chipset
Powering the phone is a brand new performing 7nm chip-set. The chip-set used on this phone is either Exynos 990 or Snapdragon 865 Soc based on the regions. But here in Nepal, it is the Exynos processor variant that is launched as always. The basic 8 GB RAM variant also provides better multitasking and smoother performance even with heavy-duty apps. There is also support for micro-SD cards to save you from running out of space.
Software and UI
Samsung is working hard on its software department to improve the fluidity of the new powerful phones. One S20 runs of One UI 2.0 on top of Android 10. Samsung has been struggling really hard to get the perfect second version of its popular One UI out and they are providing this OS to as many devices as possible.
Battery and Connectivity (4G/5G)
The Samsung Galaxy S20 has a 4,000mAh battery, which is a good side for a top-end smartphone, although there are plenty of devices that better that capacity. To runs the 120Hz or WQHD+ display, we’d expect this size of the battery and hope it powers the device throughout a day, and even more if you turn off these top features.
The phone comes with 25W fast charging via USB-C, and ‘Fast Wireless Charging 2.0’ as Samsung calls the alternative for wireless charging. The speed of this hasn’t been out but we expect it to be at around 20W. The Wireless Power Share feature is also available with improvements, letting you charge your Samsung devices and other with wireless charging support.
The Galaxy S20 is the normal flagship phone of 2020 with the option to get 5G on their smartphones. Only 1% of smartphones sold in 2019 were 5G phones, and most were costly variants of 4G flagships.
The S20 also has a 5G-enabled by default in some regions. The download speed in 5G will be around 200Mbps on average, which is almost 6 times faster than what we are currently getting in 4G. But for a country like Nepal where there is no 5G, there will be 4G variant only. It is confirmed now that the S20 phones in Nepal are only 4G compatible.

Design and Display
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen, which is quite a leap from its ancestor’s 6.4 inches, though not really as big as the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 6.9-inch display. It comes with an AMOLED screen, with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera in the top-center of the display. Samsung says this cutout is 55% tinier than the punch-hole on the S10 range of phones and its hardly noticeable.
The display is quite impressive as always with 3200 x 1440 pixel resolution on its Wide Quad High-Definition Plus (WQHD+) display. S20 Plus also gets a display with a 120Hz refresh rate and this is twice as fast as a common phone screen. While it comes to the design, it has almost similar design aspects as that of S20.
Camera
Galaxy S20 Plus has a similar camera setup as that of S20 but with a significant improvement over the S10 Plus. Although the number of cameras is the same as compared to S10 Plus, you can find huge improvements.
The major improvements in the camera segment can be seen on the zoom camera. Ignore the S10’s 12MP telephoto camera: the S20 has a 64MP shooter with a telephoto lens that provides 3x optical zoom, as well as 30x digital zoom.
While this isn’t the biggest zoom capability ever there is still the S20 Ultra and its 10x optical and monstrous 100x digital. Until an, unless it is compared with Ultra, the camera is very versatile and allows you to take great shots.
Performance and Battery
S20 Plus is also powered by either 7nm Exynos 990 or Snapdragon 865 Chipset depending on the region. As always, the S20 phones in Nepal will have the Exynos Processor on it. The difference is it comes in three variants of RAM and storage – 12GB/128GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB. This too supports micro-SD cards.
This handset has quite capable 4500mAh battery which too supports fast charging and wireless charging. The capability of wireless charging and power share is the same as that of S20.
