Samsung’s Unpacked 2020 event has just concluded where they just launched the new Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra.
The new Galaxy S line are the tech giant’s newest top-of-the-line flagship phones. Each of the variants supports 5G and some added hardware to its camera system. I’m talking about big sensors as well as multiple camera lenses. The sensor count is pretty apparent on the S20+, and the high end S20 Ultra. It’s also worth noting the zoom capability of the S20 Ultra. It has an optical zoom of x4. It can also do Lossless Hybrid Optic zoom up to 10x, with the help of the sensors working together. And lastly, a digital zoom of up to x100 which they call Space Zoom.
Design-wise, there are only minor changes from the previous lineup. The camera bump is now a rectangle in order to accommodate the added cameras, the punch-hole selfie cam is now positioned in the middle rather than in the corner, and surprisingly, there is no edge display (which is known to be on the Samsung flagships) on either of the variants.
Each phone is equipped with an OLED HDR+ that can support a 120Hz refresh rate. Although it will limit the screen to only 1080p resolution. You can enjoy the full 1440p resolution, however, if you set it to just 60Hz. Oh, and they also have a massive battery (4000 mAh for the S20, 4500 mAh for the S20+, and 5000 mAh for S20 Ultra).
