Samsung Galaxy S20 Hands-On Preview : All Three Colours!

Leave a reply

Right after Samsung announced the Galaxy S20, we had the exclusive opportunity to get some hands-on time with all three colour options!

Let’s get up close and personal with the new Samsung Galaxy S20 in our hands-on video showcase! Find out if this is the smartphone you have been waiting for!

 

Samsung Galaxy S20 Hands-On Experience : All Three Colours!

In this exclusive video, we present to you our hands-on experience of the Galaxy S20 smartphone in all three available colour options – Cosmic Gray, Cloud Blue and Cloud Pink!

Samsung removed the dedicated Bixby button, so the only buttons you will find are the Volume control and Power buttons along the right edge.

The hybrid SIM tray is located at the top, with a second microphone that is used for noise cancellation.

Like the Galaxy Note 10, the Galaxy S20 no longer has the 3.5 mm audio jack. So you will only find the USB Type C connector at the bottom, flanked by the speaker and main microphone ports.

The Galaxy S20 does not come with an internal DAC, so you will need to use the provided USB Type C earphones, or purchase a USB-C audio adaptor with a built-in DAC.

 

Samsung Galaxy S20 : Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 in the United States, and Samsung Exynos 990 in the rest of the world.

To ensure it will last a long time, Samsung gave it a larger 4,000 mAh battery. The corresponding Galaxy S10e from last year only has a 3,100 mAh battery in comparison.

 

Samsung Galaxy S20 : RAM + Storage

The 4G model comes with 8 GB of the latest LPDDR5 memory, while the 5G model comes with 12 GB! They both have 128 GB of fast UFS 3.0 internal storage.

If that’s not enough, the Galaxy S20 has a hybrid SIM tray, which allows you to use either two nano SIM cards simultaneously, or one nano SIM card and a microSD card for additional storage.

It also supports eSIM, which allows you to activate and swap mobile plans without using a physical SIM card; as well as the possibility of using two mobile plans with a microSD card!

 

Samsung Galaxy S20 : Cameras

It comes with a 10 MP front camera, and a triple-camera system at the back, with :

  • a 12 MP main camera,
  • a 64 MP telephoto camera with 3X hybrid optical zoom, and
  • a 12 MP ultra-wide camera

In addition, it is the first Samsung smartphone to be able to record 8K videos!

We can also see a third microphone in the camera bump, which is used to support Audio Zoom – letting you zoom into the action and focus on sound from the subject, while reducing ambient noise.
