Samsung Galaxy S20 & S20+ Hands On First Look

**The Samsung S20 and S20 Plus: First Impressions**

As I put the Samsung S20 and S20 Plus through their paces, it's clear that these devices are designed to provide an exceptional user experience. The screen refresh rate is set at 60 Hz by default, but you can switch it to 120 Hz if you want a smoother scrolling experience. This feature should consume slightly more battery life, so be aware of the trade-off.

Samsung has also jumped on the 120Hz bandwagon, and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Apps and games should support this higher refresh rate, which could give users a bigger advantage. Most content is still rendered at 60 Hz, but some apps and games may take full advantage of the increased frame rate.

One notable improvement on these devices is the display. The S20 Plus has a new pill-shaped design that replaces the older notched look. I feel this is a nice upgrade, especially after seeing the previous S10 Plus model's screen. The device also features stereo speakers and a loud sound quality. When using the microphone, you can hear the audio coming from multiple directions, which provides an immersive experience.

The battery life of these devices should differ, with the S20 featuring a 4000mAh battery and the S20 Plus boasting a larger 4500mAh unit. Both devices will support fast charging at 25W. However, I believe the biggest upgrade lies in the cameras, particularly on the S20 Plus. The main camera is still a 12MP shooter, but it's paired with a 64MP sensor that's almost a 3x zoom lens.

The S20 Plus also features an ultra-wide 12MP camera and a 3D ToF time-of-flight depth sensor for advanced features like 3D modeling and more. The device supports 8K video recording, which can be useful for capturing high-quality footage. When shooting in 8K, you can extract individual frames from the video, each equivalent to a 33MP photograph. This feature may not see widespread use, but it's still an interesting innovation.

In terms of software, I've only had the chance to test the device with a sample unit, so my experience is not representative of the final product. However, I can tell you that the camera app and settings menu are well-implemented, offering a range of options for adjusting exposure, contrast, and more.

One feature that caught my attention was the zoom capabilities on the S20 Plus. The regular photo mode offers up to 10x zoom, which is impressive considering the device's size. The ultra-wide angle lens also provides a wide field of view, making it ideal for capturing landscapes or group shots. When I took some snaps with the device, the results were promising, but again, this was just a sample unit.

Overall, my experience with the Samsung S20 and S20 Plus has been positive, but I believe there's still more to be discovered when the final software is released. With their impressive displays, cameras, and performance, these devices have the potential to set new standards for smartphones.

**Specs and Features**

Both the S20 and S20 Plus will come with 8GB of RAM in India. The storage capacity options may vary depending on the region and carrier. For those interested in taking a closer look at the device's audio capabilities, I've included some sample videos and photos that showcase the stereo speakers and camera performance.

**Camera Capabilities**

The S20 Plus features a quad-camera setup, including:

* 12MP main camera with a zoom lens (3x)

* 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera

* 10MP front camera for selfies and video calls

* 3D ToF time-of-flight depth sensor for advanced features like 3D modeling

The device supports 8K video recording at 30fps, which is impressive. When shooting in 8K, you can extract individual frames from the video, each equivalent to a 33MP photograph.

**Display and Battery Life**

The S20 Plus features a new pill-shaped design that replaces the older notched look. The device also boasts a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz for smoother scrolling.

In terms of battery life, the S20 features a 4000mAh unit, while the S20 Plus has a larger 4500mAh battery. Both devices support fast charging at 25W.

**Software and Performance**

The software experience on these devices is still evolving, but I've only had the chance to test a sample unit. The camera app and settings menu are well-implemented, offering a range of options for adjusting exposure, contrast, and more.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjit Anna in this video let's have a first look at the new Samsung Galaxy S 20 and s 20 plus and guys I don't have the proper units these are actually the marketing samples and I got access to this one I simply couldn't get access to the s20 ultra when I get it I'll post about it but again this is what these devices are and as you can see it says confidential do not show whatever but yeah this is the s 20 and this is the S 20 plus let's just do the fingerprint unlock for these and this one is having a 6.2 inch screen whereas the bigger brother is having a 6 point 7 inch screen and in fact I would say if this is the original s10 plus let me just open this one also and this s 10 plus actually had a 6 point 4 inch screen and this one has a 6 point 7 so as you can see they did manage yes it's slightly taller than the what do you say s 10 plus but Samsung did manage to pack in a very big screen without increasing the screen size I would say anyways let's stop talking about the s 10 plus and let's talk about this s 20 plus and the s 20 and again both are identical I'm in India they are coming with the new XE nose the 990 PSoC that's a quad-core sorry that's an octa-core processor based on the 7 nanometer process and these are not fight II devices guys no but yeah this is what are you getting and the biggest thing I would say is the camera layout and there is slight difference I would say on the s20 we have that triple camera main here we actually have quad camera set and we have extra that time-of-flight for 3d depth sensing on the S 20 plus but apart from that it's the same camera setup that we have and I feel the camera is a huge improvement on these devices compared to the earlier generation of the Galaxy S series if we talk about and again if you look at it and recording the screen I mean it's Samsung and we know something generally puts very good quality screen so as you can see very good quality screen that we are having on this one and now finally it's am saying this has also moved to that 20 Hertz option but the touch response is 240 Hertz if you want it'll work in the normal mode also for the most of the type and it's a quad HD plus screen on both the devices but you can set it to that what do you say screen refresh rate as you can see it's standard that 60 Hertz Dohan 20 Hertz if you want it should consume slightly more battery life if we you put it on 120 Hertz so that's what we have and so Samsung has also jumped into this 120 Hertz thing I won't say if it's good or not again I apps also in games also should support that hand 20 Hertz to take a big advantage and most of the content I would say realistically is on 60 Hertz anyways and surf the punch on not sure on the both the s20 and the s20 plus as you can see i feel that's a nice improvement instead of this pill shape not what we had on the s10 plus so that's actually a nice thing in my opinion now let's just put this on the side and if we talk about the specs both the s 20 and the s 20 plus and india will come with 8 gigabytes of vram let's just try to see one of my own videos I want to check how is the sound why the speakers on this one and let's just fire up this let's keep the lag so guys here is that I'm just lowered and yes we have stereo speakers again this one is the speaker and even though your piece is good I don't know how it's coming from the microphone but this it's that stereo quality sound is there and it's actually pretty loud so that's actually a nice thing and in terms of battery also there'll be a difference between these two devices the s20 will come with the four thousand milliamp hour battery whereas s 20 plus will come with the 4500 milliamp hour battery and both will come with the new 25 watt fast charging but I feel the biggest upgrade would be the cameras on this one and if we talk about the cameras I'll just talk about the s 20 plus because very similar on the edge 20 also and the main camera is actually still a 12 megapixel our shooter then we have a sixty four megapix sensor but this is actually a zoom lens that is almost a 3x zoom so that's a different thing what Samsung is doing and then we also have a 12 megapixel that's ultra wide and as I've told you on this s 20 plus extra we have that 3d for time-of-flight for depth sensing and stuff and yes I know this is gonna sound like gimmick but these devices actually now support 8k video and I want to say that you will shoot regularly 8k media I don't know why maybe a very special occasion your child something first birthday or some very special occasion maybe but the only reason I would say you if that 8k media support is there is that but that 8k media if you shoot that video let's say even a 30-second video you can actually take out individual frames from that and each frame is actually equivalent to a thirty-three megapixel photographs so that can be useful at times and again I mean this is a sample unit so this is not the final software guys so generally in the final software things improve quite a bit so anyways if we go over here to the settings and as you can see the rare video as you can see in 16 s 9 you can go up to 8k as you can see this is the regular video ultra wide and zoom again one more thing I completely forward let me actually show you in the regular photo mode also we have this ultra wide and this and here if you notice we also have zoom obviously we have 2x and 4x zoom that's good but you can have this 10x and 30x I believe it's going so that's crazy here I don't have any subject yeah but as you can see you get an idea you have that so I would say easily up to 10x also you can go I won't say these are the final I took some snaps with this but again as I told you guys this is a marketing unit so not with the final software but here are some of the casual snaps that I took and I feel the result should be even better in fact in the production unit I'll definitely try to get the retail in being muted very soon and I'll do a proper what do you say unboxing and overview and testing with that device but just wanted to give a very quick idea about first impressions about this s 20 and the s 20 plus so guy that's it for now thanks for watching and what do you guys think about this s 20 and the s 20 plus so guys that's it for now thanks for watching this is Ranjit and I hope to see you in my next video take care guyshi there this is Ranjit Anna in this video let's have a first look at the new Samsung Galaxy S 20 and s 20 plus and guys I don't
