In-Depth Review: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is the latest flagship from Samsung which has been praised for its powerful specs and hefty price tag. This device packs a quad-camera system with telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide shooting capabilities. On top of that, the device boasts a 6.9-inch QHD+ dynamic OLED display, 5000mAh battery, and runs on Android 10.

Display and Design

The S20 Ultra 5G’s 6.9-inch QHD+ display is bright, largely due to its dynamic OLED technology. Samsung has incorporated an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate to give the display an impressive smoothness when scrolling through content. For those who value battery life, the lower 60Hz refresh rate is an easy switch.

When it comes to design, the S20 Ultra 5G has a back panel made up of glossy glass for an attractive look and feel. The physical layout of the device remains relatively unchanged since the S10 series with a centered power button and volume keys on the left side.

Camera

The camera setup on the S20 Ultra 5G is arguably its strongest feature. Samsung has included a quad-camera system with a whopping 108MP, 48MP, and two 12MP sensors. This provides both wide-angle and ultrawide shooting capabilities with up to 100X space zoom. When combined with the device’s improved AI and HDR capabilities, it’s easy to see why Samsung is positioning this as an ideal device for photography lovers.

Battery Life

Given the device’s enormous 6.9-inch display and powerful chipset, it’s no surprise that the device’s 5000mAh battery is needed to help it achieve its relatively good battery life. The device can last up to 14 hours of video playback and 17 hours of web browsing, which is a decent result for a large device like this one.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G is a great phone overall as it has impressive features like a quad-camera setup and a huge 6.9-inch display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. The battery life is also decent, although it’s worth noting that it’s not the best when compared to other devices in the same price range. Furthermore, the huge price tag may be a deal-breaker for some.
