In other words, Samsung pitched this Plus model as more of an intermediate step than simply a larger version – which is a bit of a stretch. There aren’t that many more extras in the S20 Plus than there were in the S10 Plus that warrant the relative price jump… aside from 5G connectivity. According to Geekbench 5, the S20 Plus was one of the most powerful smartphones on the market at the time, with a multi-core CPU score of 3,034 with the Snapdragon 865 (2774 with Exynos 990) that beat most other phones while, not surprisingly, coming up short of the S20 Ultra, which scored 3,286, and also trailing the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which scored 3,424. However, when it comes to day-to-day performance you're unlikely to notice significant performance differences between similarly-priced flagship rivals. At a stunning refresh rate of 120Hz, whatever you're watching is always crisply smooth and full of detail. And if you want to adjust the picture yourself there are a range of customisation options such as colour, sharpness and saturation so you can get the display looking just as you want it to. How big is the Samsung Galaxy S20+ battery? Proximity Sensor, Hall Effect Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope Sensor, Accelerometer (G-Sensor), Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus was launched in the US, UK and Australia in March 2020. There are two variants of the phone; one with 5G, and another with only 4G.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus doesn’t look much different to its predecessor, but this is the sleekest device in a long line of flagships – and that isn’t a bad look.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is the best of its siblings

So, how do these cameras perform? Well, they’re very good but not the best I’ve ever come across. In a side-by-side comparison of shots captured with the iPhone 11 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera (in daylight), I saw a little more contrast and lower noise levels in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus shots, while the iPhone images looked a touch more natural and neutral overall: As for the display’s general properties, expect much the same as from the S10 Plus, with a very clear and detailed picture when watching content up to 1440p resolution. Despite technically having a higher-resolution screen than the one on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, both that phone and the S20 Plus showed roughly the same picture when demoing, say, a 1440p video on YouTube – though the Apple phone’s screen does have a slight edge in contrast, showing high-contrast subjects (like a lizard in the sun) in greater clarity. I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 plus 5G, for 7 months and am very satisfied with the phone. The only downside to this device is the camera, it's not that high resolution, but other than that I quite like the phone. The price-performance ratio is good, as the phone is not that expensive and delivers great quality with it. The battery lasts approx. one day and then must be reloaded after. The phone is highly recommended. The rear camera set consists of 4 lenses. The main camera is a 12 MP (f/1.7) wide-angle with OIS. With a large 1/1.76-inch sensor, it ensures noise-free images even under poor lighting conditions. It is paired with a 12 MP (f/2.2) ultra wide angle lens. The 64 MP (f/2.0) telephoto lens offers 3x lossless hybrid optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. It is also equipped with optical image stabilisation. The S20 Plus' camera set differs from the smaller S20's in that it includes a fourth camera -- a time-of-flight depth sensor for bokeh mode. The camera shoots 8K video with a frame rate of up to 30 fps. The 10 MP selfie camera captures 4K video at up to 30 fps. Powerful Performance Among the benefits of that 120Hz display is that, in games that support it, the onscreen framerate can reach much higher than the usual 60fps you get with phones that have 60Hz screens. In the onscreen Manhattan GFXBench test, the S20 Plus achieved an average frame rate of 105fps, which is among the highest we’ve ever seen in this test. (Note: we attempted to retest the OnePlus 7T Pro in this test but it remained capped at 60fps, despite the 90Hz option being selected in the display settings.)

There are three imaging cameras on the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus: a zoom, a standard wide-angle and an ultra wide-angle. You’re not getting the same spectacular 100x “Space Zoom” (10x optical) as on the S20 Ultra; instead the zoom camera is an f/1.8 64-megapixel 3x optical unit that can digitally zoom to 30x. You’ll mostly be using the main camera, though, and that’s a much more standard-looking 12-megapixel f/1.8 shooter, while the ultra wide-angle camera captures at 12-megapixels and has an aperture of f/2.2. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus sports a 6.7-inch punch-hole (Infinity-O) screen of a QHD+ (3200 x 1440 pixels) resolution.

Bear in mind, however, that this result was obtained with the phone in its default settings. That is with the resolution set to FHD+ and the refresh rate at the more standard 60Hz. Bump the settings up to 120Hz and you can expect that figure to nose-dive by at least a couple of hours, which is okay but not quite as impressive. If you’re more of a moviemaker your clips just got a Hollywood level upgrade with the Galaxy S20+. Samsung's Super Steady 2.0 tech acts like a virtual gimbal, so you can get astonishingly smooth video even when you’re moving around at pace. Great for sports, gigs and all-action shooting. And best of all - it records in 8K Ultra HD. All your must-see moments will be watchable for years to come, with no compromise on quality - it’s a futureproof camera.

Your favourite smartphone content has never looked better than when it’s on the Galaxy S20+’s 6.7” Infinity-O Display. With just a tiny punch-hole selfie camera, the edge-to edge display is practically all screen giving you an immersive viewing experience. I have had the Galaxy S20 Plus from Samsung for 6 months and am really satisfied with it. The phone has a good camera and fast response time. Also, there are many ways to set it. I think the phone is a bit big for an average sized hand. But still, it's good. The price-performance ratio is also right. While that’s a faster refresh rate than the 90Hz on the Google Pixel 4, OnePlus 7T Pro or Razer Phone 2, you likely won’t see a difference unless you put those phones side by side with the S20 Plus while it’s bumped up to 120Hz. And yes, the ASUS ROG Phone 2 also offers 120Hz, making Samsung’s flagship line the first non-gaming phones to get the cutting-edge screen tech. In low light, it’s a different story. This is where the iPhone 11 Pro’s images come to life; they’re more colourful, vivid and true to life and, although the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus’ shots look sharp and full of detail, they are duller and darker: My relatively new second phone. Use it a lot for taking pictures and making videos. The quality is fabulous. Zoomable several times and still razor sharp. The battery is also very durable, lasting a good two days with a lot of use. Quite expensive like all smartphones, but still affordable in combination with a contract.

Less noticeable unless the two phones are side-by-side is that the new Plus model has no top lip or bottom chin – its bezel is evenly sparse. Samsung’s S-series phones have always boasted top-tier specs, and the S20 Plus is no exception. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset in the US or Exynos 990 in other countries (including the UK and Australia) and 12GB of RAM baseline breeze through games, media binges, and multi-app multitasking.
