The
last but not necessarily the least interesting member of the new Galaxy
S20 family is in line for a comprehensive review. The compact
smartphone category has been completely redefined, so now the Galaxy S20
is probably the best compact flagship phone you can buy today. You will find out all the advantages and disadvantages of the Galaxy S20 5G phone from this review.
If
you place the Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra next to each other on the
table, you will have no doubts about their similarity. The Galaxy S20
is the smallest of them so we could call it a younger brother or in this
pink, a sister.
Lightweight,
slim, sleek, attractive, and powerful, these are the adjectives that
best describe this phone. Due to the new 20: 9 screen, never thinner
frame, the Galaxy S20 is a really comfortable phone to use It
does not burden the fist or the pocket. A real break compared to the
bulky Galaxy S20 Ultra but also most phones today. I just rested, and
best of all, no compromise because the Galaxy S20 is a full-blooded
flagship phone. The
quality of workmanship and the choice of materials are not in question.
We have a tried and tested story with a metal frame and Gorilla Glass 6
glass on both sides, and it also carries IP68 waterproof certification.
Above
the screen, next to the edge, is a speaker or earpiece. The selfie
camera is in the mini hole in the screen, and the fingerprint reader is
below.
You
won't find anything on the left side, and on the right are the volume
control buttons and the one for turning on / off the device, ie the
Bixby Assistant. In the Side Key Settings, you can ban Bixby from that
key and restore the good old shutdown menu. best compact today…
At
the top of the phone is a drawer for two nano SIM cards or nano SIM and
microSD and a secondary microphone. Below are USB C for charging,
synchronizing but also connecting headphones, main microphone and main
speaker. On
the back, the Galaxy S20 brings the smallest camera module or the
smallest stove as those to whom the camera module looks will say, more
important than mom. It housed three eyes, another microphone and an LED
flash.
The glass on the back is slightly rounded, which makes the device even more comfortable in the hand. This Galaxy S20 is definitely the easiest to handle with one hand and the easiest to sit with in your front pocket. This will be very high on the list of priorities for those with smaller hands and those who don't like the feeling when you can't tie shoelaces because of a cell phone in your pocket.

Although
compared to the rest of the S20 team, tiny, it lacks nothing so if
you’re looking for a compact flagship, go ahead, the Galaxy S20 is what
you’ve been waiting for.
That
story that the Galaxy S20 has all the bigger members of the S20 series
holding water in terms of screens as well. Dynamic AMOLED 2X display in
QHD + resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, here it extends to 6.2 inches.
We’ll
repeat that 120Hz refresh doesn’t slag at full resolution for now but
trust me 1080p at 120Hz looks top on this screen as well. The
color display is vivid, but get it in the settings and tame it if you
prefer. The readability at an angle is excellent, and the lighting is
strong for indoors and outdoors. Always On notification display is also supported, which will compensate for the absence of the notification LED.
All in all, it is an excellent screen in yet easily manageable dimensions. Samsung
didn't skimp, so the Galaxy S20 has the same cameras as the Galaxy S20 +
except for the ToF sensor without which it was left. You’ll still get
one of the best selfie cameras on the front with a 10MP sensor,
autofocus and 4K video at 60fps.
The
rear carries three cameras: the main one with a 12MP sensor and f / 1.8
aperture lens, OIS and Dual Pixel PDAF autofocus. Records 8K 24fps and
4x60fps video. In
addition to the main one, it also has a 12MP ultrawide camera and an
optically stabilized 64 MP telephoto camera for 3x hybrid zoom and
digital zoom up to 30x. The
camera interface is also identical. It is well and logically arranged.
You can easily jump between shooting modes in a flash, and in addition
to Live Focus photo and video, it also supports Pro mode in camera and
camcorder, Night mode and everything else we have on smartphone cameras
by default today.
Some will also enjoy the 8K video at 24fps which is OK but not something you will use often. Just
like the Galaxy S20 + although it doesn't have a 108MP sensor with the
Galaxy S20 Ultra, this "little S20" captures great photos and videos
with a lot of detail in a variety of shooting conditions. See some of the photos and videos taken in the mini gallery, and even more in full resolution at the link below:
Everything
said about the software in the reviews of the Galaxy S20 + and Ultra
stands here as well. Android 10 is covered by One UI 2.1 interface from
Samsung. It looks nice, works smoothly, is packed with possibilities. Supports
themes, Dark Mode, Split Screen and anything you like. The Edge screen
is also handy - a menu that you pull out from the side.
