They're Catching Up The Name To The Year So 2022 Galaxy S 20 Now I Don't Know That They'd Say This Ever Publicly But If You Went To Samsung And Just Asked Hey What's The Most Important Phone That
You guys make every year what's the most influential phone in your lineup will be this it will be the new galaxy s flagship this is the phone that the average person sees as the Android
iPhone competitor as as the big nemesis and when you have such a big reputation to protect you tend to not take as many risks you want to make the right safe moves in the right places and then take the risks with other phones so I have my buddy gender here whose youtube channel is your average consumer to help me out with this one so you should definitely
Check out his channel link below so without any further ado let's get into galaxy s xx so Samsung made some moves with this phone and they're all around pretty great
it's a new high refresh rate display a bigger battery a new camera system and 5g pretty simple safe but all good moves so I'll start with the display because
it's the best upgrade so you might remember I was harping all of last year on how much I love high refresh rate displays and there were naysayers but
Now we're all slowly I guess realizing how good it is now Samsung's on board with the galaxy s
20 and we've got a super fluid 120 Hertz display it's also point 1 inches bigger and flattened out a bit on the edges so this is the biggest best change for the
Galaxy s 20 I'm a gamer so when I'm gaming and if the phone support I have the game supports 120 Hertz it's a it's a whole nother level guys it feels so different from regular games that you just fall in love immediately there are certain types of games also that take that look better at 120 Hertz like I was just playing a golf game and you know
it's you know the ball flies through the air and it's smooth and everything but a racing game where you're really trying to react quickly and stuff is coming at you real quick flying across the screen there's less tearing that's where 120 Hertz looks amazing yeah and like I said if a month it's a month so needless to say I'm a huge fan of the high refresh rate I've been saying it but also something you notice in pretty much
Every phone that's moving up to the high refresh rate is a bigger battery to keep up with it and so galaxy s 20 also does that moving from thirty four hundred to a four thousand milliamp hour battery on paper that's pretty good that's a substantial gain it's almost twenty percent bigger and you also still have the wireless charging and you have up to 25 watt fast charging but at the end of the day you just want battery life to hold up alright so battery life how's your battery been I don't want to spoil your video and I'm sure you'll go into detail on it but generally on s 20 what's that been like I mean I can pretty
Confidently hit five hours uh maybe even slightly under that but we're talking about 4,000 milliamp hours and 120 Hertz always-on right so I'm not gonna say I'm I'm pretty happy with it I mean that's like that's a whole day like getting to the end of the day no problem oh yeah yeah for me it's been about the same like a five-hour screen on time day is
Pretty good there are some days where I might need more and so I can kill this phone in a day mm-hmm I don't think I could say that about like that 5,000 6,000 milliamp hour phones but yeah I'm comfortable with the battery at 120
Hertz yeah I I mean you'll see a difference between this and like the ultra yeah for sure I think so I didn't give him the fact that here you are using it at 120 Hertz yeah it's worth the trade-off 120 hours is that good to me it feels like an even trade between high refresh rate and battery life meaning this phone got up to 4000 milliamp hours and didn't really gain a ton or lose a ton of battery life the ultra still has better battery life with that even bigger battery but overall I'd give this phone a solid b-plus and then of course if you really want to save battery protip you can it's like it comes out of box of 60 here it's put pro tip you can switch it back down to 60 Hertz and you will gain tests say around 30 percent battery life by switching down so if you're about to have a super long day and you know you won't have access to a charger you can switch down to 60 Hertz fine longer battery life but the rest of the internal specs as a reminder are bumped up to 2022 flagship numbers which are just crazy big numbers across the board so snapdragon 865 12 gigs of ram across everyone 128 gigs of ufs 3.0 storage to start and all great performers and as I expected this phone performs great actually it performs every bit as great as the s20 ultra that's something we don't talk about as much is the ceiling for performance in these high-end phones is pretty consistent and in a brand new phone you know going from 12 to 16 gigs of ram
Doesn't make that much of a difference right now so the s20 doesn't stutter or a lag or have any problem multitasking or holding apps on the RAM any worse than the ultra in case you were wondering alright I got an average consumer question for you okay cuz I'm apparently out of touch okay does the average consumer miss this headphone
This is the first headphone jack being gone from a samsung flagship it was gone from the note 10 but like this is the default Android phone the headphone jack is gone no is that is this a big moment for that it's it's a big moment I'd say because I think it's just the willingness people are to accept that it's gone yeah
Samsung has been one of the last companies to really hold on to it yeah I agree I know headphone jack not a big deal for me it's been like three years now of me not using a phone with the headphone jack I have my wireless headphones but yeah I've complained about it for a long time yeah and then after a while I noticed a lot of people in my comment section would just be like dude get over it like
Oh am i I'm trying to defend you guys house if you're with it but okay if I stop kind of knocking companies for taking it away yeah you're still gotta have the headphone jack there's a couple options left but this is no longer one of them so the new camera system the last big change in
These phones is kind of funny it's a 12 megapixel main camera with oh is a 12 megapixel ultra wide camera and a 64 megapixel 3x telephoto camera so of course the specs are a bit worse on paper but the camera experience of the s20 in a couple of ways is actually better than the s20 ultra that's mainly
Because the s20 ultra had a couple issues that the s20 doesn't have plus a couple of things that the s20 ultra does specifically better than most like zoom aren't necessarily enjoy or applicable to everyone so a typical photo from the galaxy s 20 camera is sharp first of all some may find the look over sharpened actually at times
But you can't ever really complain that it's soft and Samsung has continued to tone down and Dow back what used to be this crazy saturated and vivid colour complex to now a more neutral look that
I like and I still think it works it definitely still likes bright exposures though and it will air on the side of overexposure sometimes but generally it takes nice photos plus I've had none of the s20 ultras autofocus issues thanks to dual pixel autofocus being back here and the sensor being smaller also technically means the fringing at the edges that I talked about with the s20 ultra is less of a problem I'm actually seeing less involuntary bokeh and less
Close focus smearing and then zoom will get you to a maximum of 30 X instead of a hundred x but i still find that's plenty that's enough for me like I mentioned before I usually just zoom with my feet but in the few instances where I can't you will get crisp or faraway shots with just this telephoto
I mean videos are pretty solid especially if you're using like the super steady that's really it looks so good yeah I can shoot b roll with this and probably get away with it really I think so I think for the average person oh yeah yeah that's true but for us maybe maybe not but I think regular people using this for video they're not gonna have any complaints like things are a bit sharp you know but for the most part yeah pretty solid so the 4k video on this phone looks good 8k video while it's available and that's
Amazing it's still kind of compromised again it's still 24 fps still has some rolling shutter and has no tracking autofocus but really the main thing is it doesn't even come from the main camera this time it comes from the higher resolution 64 megapixel telephoto camera which means it crops in a lot and is just generally harder to use
So I'd stick with the 4k video for the most part for safety so they hit the big three with the right moves with camera battery and display they're all better
But then they have to be smart about preserving keeping the familiar good stuff which they also did a lot of with s20 so they kept the ultrasonic fingerprint reader and it fine you know they kept the speaker at the bottom of the phone that's fine they Still have one UI of course and all their 25 million features still ip68 water-resistant still expandable storage it's actually better button placement meaning they got rid of the bixby button now they still have the hole punch camera up at the front it's moved to the
Middle now but it's still a small cutout and really they just kept the same general design aesthetic and materials from galaxy s 10 I mean it's a glass sandwich in the spirit of figuring out the average consumer I did a little poll of you guys use a case on your phone and if I was guessing I would have said
Something like 60 65 percent but it was closer to 80 percent of you so if you're looking for a case for the galaxy s 20 might as well check out the grip case from channel sponsor D brand I don't have it here but I think Andrew does over there on the other side of the studio you got the one with the teardown
Skin on it let me get that one over here so yeah the grip seems to work pretty well it's pretty protective so yeah like I said a lot of the right moves these phones also now have 5g across the boar s 20 tests 20 ultra but the regular s 20 only supports low to mid band 5g while the s 20 plus and ultra AD millimeter wave so you all know how I feel about 5g
I already have said you probably shouldn't buy these phones just for 5g but it's worth noting this will never have millimeter wave 5g but now that we've seen what Samsung has improved and we've actually used it this definitely still looks and feels like the default
Android phone which if you're gonna compete this is the thousand-dollar phone you got to measure up to and if you want to charge more than that you gotta beat it at something and I feel
Like that's exactly what Samsung wanted and they're still happy to have that spot so big thank you and shout out again to gender for the collab you should check out his day in the life video I'll link it below the like button where he goes over all the little nuances and things you find using a phone like this on a daily basis but that's the galaxy s 20 is it the best phone no
it's not even Samsung's best phone in their lineup that would be the ultra but this is a better Buy so this
