So the Galaxy S20 handsets are finally here. They bring
several new premium features and upgraded hardware so let's take a look at the
top 10 features of this behemoth of a handset which could arguably be the
smartphone of the year 2020.
World’s best display with 120Hz refresh rate
The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a 6.9" QHD+ display with 120Hz
refresh rate and 240Hz touch sensing rate which means smoother animations –
something games and apps will benefit from the most. Higher touch sensing rate
will mean it's going to respond to your touch pretty quickly, for comparison,
the Note 10+ has 120Hz touch sensitivity so you're surely going notice a
difference. All the S20 handsets will be snappier than ever. After upgrading
the camera so extensively, it only makes sense that Samsung would offer consumers
the world's best screen to view their images on.
Insane Camera Hardware
Samsung is betting big time on the camera performance of the
Ultra. The S20 Ultra has a 108 MP camera with the biggest sensor that Samsung
has ever put on a smartphone. Using 9-in-1 pixel binning, the camera can capture
12 MP photos with the equivalent of 2.4µm pixels, which promises to set a new benchmark
for low-light photography. The phone can also record 8K videos at 24 fps,And
from anywhere in a video, you will be able to grab a 33-megapixel still photo.
Single Take Mode
Arguably the coolest camera feature – which is present on
all the S20 variants is "single take mode", which allows you to move
around the subject while automatically capturing a small portfolio of video
clips and snapshots. This is a one-tap process, with Samsung's AI doing much of
the hard work.
Crazy Amount Of RAM
The S20 Ultra has 12 GB RAM for the base variant and can have
up to a massive 16 GB. Yes, you heard that right 16 GB of RAM on a smartphone. We
live in a world where we want everything to happen in an instant. 16 GB RAM will
make sure all your apps and games can stay open in the memory which will let
you open the apps and games in an instant without ever refreshing them. The
amount of RAM doesn't make your phone run smoother or let your apps run better,
It only decides how many apps you can run at one time. Considering even social
networking apps have become memory hogs these days, 16 GB will come in handy if
not today but surely tomorrow.
100X Space Zoom
The other standout feature of the S20 Ultra 5G is its 100x
zoom, which comes mounted on the side of the camera apparatus. Zooming in the
first 10-20x on the S20 Ultra produces some decent photos, but things quickly deteriorate
after that. By the time you get to 100x zoom, you’re basically taking a picture
of a blob of pixels that somewhat resemble your subject. But while the 100x
zoom feels a bit like a party trick, you can still capture pretty decent shots
with more reasonable zoom levels, without feeling as though you've lost too much
fidelity.
Super Steady OIS
All the S20 variants will have super steady OIS which isn't
the same as super steady video on the Note 10.It applies to both photos and
videos. It provides professional gimble like experience which uses software and
hardware to provide shake-free photos and videos unlike any other smartphone
out there.
Oh-Mah-God-Battery
The S20 Ultra has a mammoth 5000mAh battery. That's insane
but considering the other hardware of the Ultra such as 120Hz 6.9" display
which will eat up a lot of battery juice, 5000mAh should help push the device a
day of heavy use with ease.
Super Fast Charging
The S20 Ultra supports 45W of fast wired charging and 15W of
wireless charging and 15W of reverse wireless charging. Even with an insane
price tag, Samsung will not include the 45W charger in the box, you need to
purchase it separately by paying 50 bucks. They'll give 25W charger instead
which is pretty good by the way, charges the device pretty quickly.
Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner
All the S20 variants have in-display fingerprint scanner. It's
the same ultrasonic scanner found on the S10 and Note 10. Samsung hasn't
mentioned anything about it at the event so I guess the hardware remains unchanged.
Zoom-in Mic
You can use a pinch gesture on the screen while recording
video to zoom in or out, and as you zoom in, the sounds of the subject you zoom
in on becomes louder. There's a dedicated mic for it on the camera setup
similar to the Note 10 Plus.
Gorilla Glass 6 Protection All Over
The S20 Ultra is the first Samsung handset to use the latest
gorilla glass 6 protection on both front and back glass as well as on the
camera module. The S10 had the gorilla glass 6 only at the front and 5 at the
back. So the Ultra can survive more drops and from higher heights.
Other Specs
It also has a 40 MP front camera, 128 GB of base storage that
goes up to 512 GB and an option to expand it up to 1.5 TB with a micro SD card
slot, best in class processors, a premium chassis compared to Aluminum and also
an insane price tag of $1400.Thankfully There's a 4G version too in countries with
no 5G infrastructure and that will likely cost 100 to 150 bucks less. Do let me
know what do you think about this handset and as always I'll see you again...Peace
out!
