Samsung Galaxy S20, we tested this high-end smartphone

Not so long ago that on the web we detailed everything about the new series of Samsung Galaxy mobiles . Well, now we are lucky to have in our hands the entry model of the Samsung Galaxy S20 family  . A smartphone generously loaned temporarily by the brand so that we can test it and tell you our opinion. We have tested it with great enthusiasm, and here we tell you the sensations that the Samsung Galaxy S20 mobile has transmitted to us .

Unboxing and design of the Samsung Galaxy S20: Samsung Galaxy S20, we tested this high-end smartphone

To begin with, as always, we show you how the product reaches the customer’s hands. The Galaxy S20  from Samsung has a halo device premium , so it tries to distance themselves a bit of the typical packaging cramming the shelves of stores technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 box

The truth is that the company has not made a great effort to distinguish itself, and delivers the phone in the typical rectangular box , black in its case . In a non-imposed standard, the packaging design does not show any image of the device. It limits itself to showing off in large letters which  model it is. At the bottom of the box we have a simple sticker with the product’s reference data.

The packaging avoids any type of device information

The box is opened by removing the upper part that hugs the base of the rectangle. We are going to see the phone in the first line, deposited on a support tailored to the device. Underneath, there are the accessories and attached to the inside of the lid is a cardboard case with the documentation and the SIM tray ejection tool .

Smart mobile phone design

This smartphone has a beautiful and extremely attractive appearance . The beautiful color that surrounds the device stands out where we do not have a screen. It is a medium-sized terminal . It has a comfortable design that fits well in the hand and is pleasant to the touch .

The terminal that they have given us for the test is the Cloud Blue finish

The presence of the smartphone is wonderful. It exudes beauty and quality. It has a crystal clear appearance , and the silver metal frame assumes the color of the case as its own. The Samsung Galaxy S20 is very light, 163 grams, and measures 151.7 x 69.1 x 7.9 mm .

The S20 is light and slim

This Samsung model can be purchased in three different colors . The brand offers a choice between the following shades: Cosmic Gray ; Cloud Blue ; Cloud Pink .

Like a vast majority of terminals on the market, this phone has few buttons. One for the ignition, and the volume control ones. At the base we only have a USB-C type input .

Technical details of the Samsung Galaxy S20

This is a mobile device loaded with the most advanced technology. Few models we will find in the current market that can rival its hardware characteristics . Some of its outstanding qualities are as follows.

Screen

Samsung Galaxy S20

Very high resolution on your display

The screen of this smartphone is a spectacle in itself. With a size of 6.2 inches , it reaches a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels . As if that were not enough, it allows you to select a frequency of 120 Hz ideal to soften the display of content.

Performance: Samsung Galaxy S20, we tested this high-end smartphone

We have tested the performance of the phone by submitting it to the tests of the AnTuTu app . An application that has a good account of the processor Exynos 990  of eight cores , and 12 GB of memory LPDDR5 of the model we have borrowed. The numbers thrown in the tests of the Samsung Galaxy S20 simply confirm it as one of the most powerful mobiles that have passed through our hands to date.

Cameras

With the arrival of this new series of smartphones , the Korean company once again seeks to change mobile photography to levels never seen before. That is why the Samsung Galaxy S20 boasts a more versatile photographic section than ever. With a set of multiple cameras on the rear, with resolutions of up to 64 MP , and a sensational hybrid optical zoom , there will be no time to capture in the best quality.

This smartphone takes the concept of mobile photography further

In addition, for those of us who are denied capturing snapshots, the collaboration of the AI manages to remove from us the sleeping artist that we did not know we had. As a button shows: some images taken using different smartphone options .

Battery, operating system and connectivity

Perhaps one of the most negative points of the Samsung Galaxy S20 is its 4,000 mAh capacity battery . Not that it is scarce, but considering the cost of the device, we expected more generosity from the manufacturer in this regard.

The bet on Android 10 is an asset in favor

The software that drives this device is Android 10 with the OneUI layer , from the house, which is very recognizable to anyone who has used a Samsung phone . Basically, when we turn on the terminal, we will see few pre-installed apps , however, once we have an internet connection , the device will download a whole series of the company’s own and third-party applications.

These few startup apps are complemented by others as soon as we have an internet connection automatically

In terms of connectivity we have in this model received the very modern 5G . It is accompanied by an excellent WiFi ac 4 × 4 MIMO option . Obviously it does not lack the Bluetooth . And as we have seen, your choice cable is USB Type C .
