Samsung Galaxy S20+ review: bigger isn't always better 

Watching on my sam s20 plus. Perfect phone. No regrets at all.

These reviewers really piss me off, if all you're going to do with a 1200 phone that is capable of so much more than just taking pretty pictures, is take pictures , then of course you're gonna think it's not worth the price. Let's say you have an s8+ which was like what 850 at launch, let's see what you'd be getting coming to an s20 plus. 1. Bigger screen size 2. Faster and more base storage 128 vs 64gb 3. Waayyyy more RAM 4. Better dex implementation and support 5. Upgraded cameras and camera sensor 6. Larger and faster charging battery 7. 25w fast charger in the box 8. Future proofing with 5g support. 9. 120hz refresh rate. 10. High/dynamic amoled screen. Now let's look at things you get with Samsung devices you still can't get with most other OEM's 1. Samsung pay(mst) works pretty much everwhere, and there are reward points. 2. Pop up windows/split screen multitasking 3. Picture in picture RU-vid and other video players. 4. Buds/buds+ with pre-orders 5. Dex I'm sure there are more I'm missing, the point is these RU-vidrs are so disconnected from average consumers it's laughable. We don't upgrade to the newest phone every 3 to 6 months, we don't have oodles of cash lying around to do that. The average person is keeping their phone for 2 to 3+ years, the features and changes that are "minor" to a tech reviewer who just got a note10 or s10 6 months ago are major to average consumers who are still using an s8 or older phone. Its really irritating that none of these RU-vidrs seem to want to speak to the mass majority of consumers, those using devices 2-3+ yrs old.

S20+ is the best of the 3 IMO.

Its funny how he says the fingerprint sensor is not accurate but if you look closely he is deliberately not placing is finger on the sensor until the 3rd attempt...

Actual title of the video: My inaccurate review on the S20+

Samsung really gets shitted on for trying new things and giving you the most for the price tag, while apple gets praised for the most boring and watered down shit ever

Sucks that we get the Exynos chip in the UK, it's so much worse!

I love mine, and have absolutely no problem at all with the fingerprint sensor

Upgraded to the s20+ from the s9+. At first I missed my s9+ but I love the 120hz and the lighter phone and bigger screen

Watching on my s20 plus. Best phone ever! Greetings from Bosnia.

Do you have a link to that wallpaper?

Watching it on my s20+ Just upgraded from an iPhone x Best move ever!!

great video! Where do you get your wallpaper? :)

Could we get the wallpaper link please :)

After watching this video, i am now fully convinced that the S20 Plus is the phone to buy (& invest in for next 2-4 years) and not the S20 Ultra. S20 Plus seems like a more all round balanced & refined & practical phone than the S20 Ultra which seems like an overhyped beast. I currenly have the Samsung S7 (for the last 4 years) so now I believe is the right time for me to upgrade to the S20 Plus. Thanks again for this great video. Keep up the good work

I bought it recently in Australia, it comes with a screen protector and a case ,and because i pre ordered it i get the galaxy buds+ on top for free

You can disable beauty mode in the rear camera as well. Yes there is a beauty mode on the rear camera and a beauty mode on the front facing camera and they both have to be turned off by the user separately

Great video 👍 , could I please get the link to that wallpaper?

Got my S20+ in Aura Blue. It's a beautiful phone.

is this s20 plus us version support mmwave and sub 6 5g bands ? i mean is it ultrawide band ?

Would you say the Time of FLight sensor on the 20+ is good enough (with the 3d scanner) to warrant the purchase of the 20+ over the regular 20 (that being the only factor)??

Having to choose between resolution and refresh rate kills it for me.

Great video.where do i find ur s20+ wallpaper?

In camera app whenever I press single leaf it takes me to 3x zoom. Is it possible to make it 2x by default.

The pictures you have taken are unbelievably crisp & amazing.

Looking back, is the Time of Flight camera on this a feature worthy of getting the 20+ over the 20? The mmw 5g and screen size is not a concern of mine, but the ToF camera is my main question.

What's the theme and icons on your fone. Nice

Awesome review keep it up as always watching with my S20 plus

Amazing review keep it up as always watching with my S20 plus new subscribers 😀

6:05 I think you meant to say "the camera on the S20 plus not ultra"

Do I have a defect S20+?? The camera app seems to freeze the software quite often. Sometimes the phone even jumps into reboot. And also it tends to get warm after the software hick up. I have to reboot the phone to get it back to normal. Looks like the cpu is running at a high clock speed and battery is drained pretty fast. Latest software didn't help..

Dear Sir, which icons pack are you using in your Samsung S20 Plus device, kindly suggest ! THANK YOU :)

Great review! I was narrowing down between the regular s20 and the Pixel 4. Went with the S20 due to the pixels terrible battery life.

Watching this 2 years later on my Samsung S20+, still a sweet phone

Wallpaper please

''All 3 models are powered by the powerful Snapdragon 865 processor'' people in Europe: ''I wish T_T!'' But seriously, we keep getting the less powerful Exynos chip all the time. And the phones are more expensive here than in the US and Asia... insane!

Just some feedback - when citing curved display you should also couch it with the fact that there is a personal setup that can be applied to further reduce errors. Unfortunately a lot of reviewers don't balance the massive amounts of settings options that can personalise the phone, thus there is very little issue in many occasions. Good review though..

I have the s20+ and I agree with everything in the video. I haven't compared the specs enough between the s20 and s20+ to make a legitimate enough opinion on whether the s20+ is worth it or not over the s20.. But I did know a couple of the basics that it had over the s20 and went ahead and got it.

Nice wallpaper I would like for my s10+

Good video, thanks, but at 4:06 you said, " last year's S20+" small mistake, but I noticed it.

Here in europe I was able to buy an s20 plus 4g for about €850, that's basically the same in dollars. It hasn't arrived yet but I think it was worth it

I got my Note 10+ 2 weeks ago and now have an option to trade it in for a S20+ without additional fees. The problem is, in my country, the S20+ is 8gb ram compared to 12gb on my note. Is it worth the trade? Both are exynos

my exynos reaches 502000 in antutu and has got no autofocus issues given in other reviews, and i moved from s9 so i see the upgrades as they are

What 's your opinion... Should go with s20 plus 4g or s20 plus 5g ? ? Keep in mind that gonna keep the phone for 3+ years..

Like the wallpaper on the s20 + with the moon 🌙 in the back ground

Nice wallpapers. Is there a link to them?

How's the autofocus on these things? Heard it was mediocre even after the update for some... How's the battery life? How's the dynamic range of the sensors? If these were about $200-300 cheaper per device, they would be a better deal. At this point their are too many phones out there that deliver nearly the same Expeircne for 70% or less of the price.

Well this must be the snapdragon version, i really wonder how well the Exynoss tho 😅

The Pixel 4XL came up to about 1K after getting everything with it and it doesnt have half of the features the S20 have.

This review is very good as you using SNAPDRAGON CPU , I have Exynos and its worst battery life... SoT =5 hrs only and heating much.

Im a Samsung fan since U600 in 2007 until this day that im writing this on my S9+ running in Exynos released in Philippines. With how apps + technicalities are running nowadays Im moving out from any Exynos chipset devices, if only all are running snapdragon for Samsung then I will not be jumping to P40 Pro LOL!

I have to disagree with your point at 3:10. There is absolutely a tangible difference between the performance of the GS10 and the GS20. Even disregarding the 120hz display (which makes a big difference by itself), the S20 is substantially snappier than the S10. I was honestly really surprised. Samsung has obviously done a lot of fine-tuning in OneUI because (for me, at least) its been almost a night-and-day difference in the S20's favor.

I got this device 2 years ago and now I now got the green line on the display after a recent update..such a shame

Is there any heating issue on s20 plus?

Excelente review.

For me no smartphones releases matter except the Pixel 5/XL in October ... Can't wait they come out 🥰 Also curious to see the iPhone 9 and the iPhone 12 series 😉

I have the Samsung S20 Plus and love it so far, but I won't be using all the features it has because I only use the phone to call and receive calls on and to occasionally gain access to the internet when not at my computers. The camera don't get used since I have two very good video and photo cameras for that. I chose this phone because I have one of their tablet's and love it and needed a new phone to replace my old Motorola which was nearly dead and would not hold a charge very long regardless of the situation and little time used.

The fingerprint reader sucks. But the face reader is pretty good so it's bearable. Nothing else is annoying at the two week mark and it's got quite a few step ups from the s9 I was on before.

Patiently waiting for the new Note20. I dont care how much it is. This is one of those things where: you buy it because you want it and not because you need it. I love the new S20s and i know ill like the new Note20.

Just switched from iPhone to s20+ yesterday, what an awesome phone

doesn't it come with a case?

Well £849 in England in Amazon with Exynos...

@Phandroid: A lot of people in the comments have asked for wallpaper info. Would you even care to respond, let alone sharing it? I will never subscribe/recommend channels like these that dont care to respond.

Never have problems with the curved screen. i ordered this S20+ yesterday. Till it arrives im using the Galaxy S10+. Great device's. QHD screen,love the curve. SD card slot,wich i have since my Note3. So i have a lot of photos at it and good to know I can still use it . 500GB. (S21 is a downgrade,1068 screen,no SD card,& carbonate body) So that's why I choose the S20+

In Europe the S20+ costs easily 950, and with carrier points its buyable for 750. Of course it's the Exynos 990, which has some big drawbacks in comparison with SD865

using s20 plus right now. It is really satisfying. I used to use Samsung's flash ships for many years, but ditched it and joined Apple. Now it is time to go back and have a taste of the yore.

Just upgraded my Google Pixel 3XL to the Samsung Galaxy 20+ at Verizon with a $400 off promo. Now it's even better.....:)

Idk which one to get: I want the S20 because of the comfortable size and sharper display But I want the S20+ for the better battery If Samsung adds a 90Hz option in an update I'd gladly choose the S20

Watching it on my s20 basic

bought new one for 600 USD and this was the cost wiithout any exchange offer

Lol watching this from my Samsung s20+, although I ended up paying 500 bucks with a bundle and trade- in of my old S9, although I have the Exynos version, which is a bit of a bummer but hey, for that price it's worth it.

Im currently using an exynos S9 should i upgrade to S20 exynos version?(with 8gb)

I use the finger print it works everytime for me.

Instant subscribe Your review is concise. No roundabouts n nothing of that sort. Cover just what is important. Impressive. I love reviews that talk about daily usage performance than creating an artificial setting. Most reviews I come across are too focused on the cameras. So they end out boring. Especially if the end user is only interested in mobile photgraphy. Tip-Include system specifications. It will assist the buyer by helping him know what he is looking into. PEACE.

U meant u need qualcomm 9999+ chipset?

Very good content 👌 👏 👍

So true that why I will never buy those phone way to much money maybe when it goes down in price and way down

Got my s20+5G today and the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly

1.200 dollars?? I Just bought it yesterday for 800$ in 2 months is 400$ cheaper?

S20 plus Cloud blue ✊🏽

He basically tells you not to buy it and to upgrade to it the whole time Make up your mind

At that price, you can buy 2 x 90hz flagship phones or 3 x 120hz lcd phone.

In general i really like my S20+. It has one weakness: battery. Won't last a day with regular usage.

NOT every phone that comes with the Snapdragon 865 comes with 5G! 5G is NOT imbedded in the chip itself, it is in a separate modem which the SD865 supports. Be not confuse.

Upgraded from an S8... Worth it

In india it costs 1000 dollar

well about oneui if u don't know what for is the device care section than you are either dumm or haven't use samsung device before, is as good for me as easy that can be, i have all options in one place, taking that as a problem seems not a good idea for me

RU-vid Recommend

In the UK we don't get the Snapdragon chip. No good

Bigger is always better, At least that's what she said

Mine is really slow to open almost all apps. Not sure why but my S9+ was faster for some reason.

Only works 80 percent of the time, not acceptable, hum... mine works perfect to me, the only time that I found that it wasn’t working correctly when it was I that was using it wrong. Placing your finger right makes it work right. As for Bixby, I often hear reviewers say Samsung should get rid of Bixby, personally I like Bixby, Bixby is no different from Google Assistant, it only need to be kept up to date in order for it to function properly like Google do with Google Assistant. Samsung not really keeping Bixby up properly and this is the only thing that is going on with Bix. It shouldn’t be removed however when it could be better. Besides, I use Bixby to control my smart home devices such as TV and lights.

I love my S20 Ultra as my primary phone. Having iPhone 12 Pro as my secondary phone so I know what I need. iPhone for me is a lifestyle, people look at me like a decent man, but S20 Ultra made me one because of the productivity. I earn money with my S20 Ultra but waste money on my iPhone. This is true. I do all the business stuff with my Samsung, documentation, drawing, marketing video, graphics and so on. iPhone? Just to take a photo and feed my IG. S20 Ultra + SPen. + 1TB storage nothing can beat that.

my country doesnt even have 5G so i'd go for the the regular S20

What's the deal with the color of the back of the phone? Are people really looking at it at that level to complain? Thank 5g for a big part of the out of control prices this year. This phone is basically the same price as the s10 plus at launch of this was 4g. To use the note 10 plus as an example, the 4g version was $1100 at launch vs $1300 for the 5g version that only supported sub 6.

I've recently bought the S20 Plus and in my opinion this is the best Samsung I've ever put my hands on.For personal use there was the S10 Plus witch was a very good device but there was nothing special to it (personal opinion).The Note was to expensive for and in my opinion there is no device outside Samsung to offer most of the important options needed in a device in the android world right now.There was Huawei as the best option in my opinion (the P Pro and the Mate Pro) are even now fully packed but without google services on the way.I had to choose between S20 Ultra, S20 Plus and S21 plus and after watching lots of reviews and after playing with them I think the best device quality/price is by far the S20 Plus.I think in my opinion it is the best Samsung ever made outside the Note line.The cameras are the best of Samsung(better than the Ultra), the screen it is outstanding, the bettery is good enough, the user interface and the fluidity even without the 120hz it is fantastic, the speakers and the dolby tunning is again on point.Even if it is the Exynos version(europe) this device it is for me the best Samsung I've ever held but again if the Huawei had G services I was buying the Mate 30/40 pro without blinking.

100 times zoom is useless 108 megapixels on the S20 altar is cropped in and for most people the kammen as 20 plus is adequate it is a great camera and very impressive also the use on the lenses it seems that Samsung is charging an extra $200 for over height features that do not work. On top of that most people aren't dooming past 30 times anyways so if you really look at it you're getting a solid phone saving money with out the gimmicks that don't work in the 1st place. In my opinion the S20 plus is more than adequate for the everyday driver now if the 100 times zoom was crystal clear and there was an auto focus issues that they have the fix via software then yeah I would say go ahead with the ultra but in my opinion there's too many cons would the order to justify $1400 when you can just get the same plus which is basically the same phone minus the 100 times zoom

you have to be lucky .. with your snapdragon version ! we in europe have only Exynos chip (on legal stores ) for 1200 EUR and this SUCKS !! what ever ;)

I'm coming from the S8 and I'll take anything I can get. Bigger screen, bigger battery, INFINITELY better cameras, bigger base storage, i would imagine bigger RAM than the S8, I would imagine better screen resolution......................yeah okay I may not use 5G or 8K capture but it's nice to have it none the less, but that being said it just seems that this guy is just nitpicking at this point thinking everyone is going to come from an S10, in which case other reviewers have said it makes NO sense to upgrade if you're coming from an S10. But if you have anything older than that, then of course it makes sense. Some of these reviewers I feel just nitpick for the sake of it. Like this guy. One question I had if anyone could help me with, I don't have a USB-C port on my computer, and if I want to transfer pictures and videos the old fashioned way, can I use a USB-C to USB-A cable instead (obviously separate)? I know you can wirelessly, but I just wondered about wired is all.

my fingerprint scanner works flawlessly so I have a hard time believing its giving you all of those problems unless you are intentionally misaligning things or you have a third party screen protector on that doesnt work well with it. Thats why samsung includes their own screen protector on the phone because it works much better with the scanner....
