    Anonymous, 12 Feb 2020This is so false, I hope no one believes these words. Hello, are you a marketing bot? Or do you have an actual counter-argument?

            Samsung had to make sure there is enough space for four cameras but totally neglected the flash. Why not make it a long rectangle flash?

              Anonymous, 12 Feb 2020P30 Pro seems to be using the Sony IMX520 1/3.6 1.22 micron... moreThe sensor is twice as big and effective per pixel size is 1.6 micron vs 1.22 micron.
              12MP vs 8MP.
              Plus Samsung using latest ISP.

              S20 Ultra is simply better than P30 pro in telephoto department. The Ultrawide though might show on par results.

                      In my country, the Ultra costs as much as the iPhone 11 pro 64GB so it makes sense.

Going by the few samples posted from the S20 Ultra it seems to be on par or slightly worse. The software isn't final though.

                              ypcx, 12 Feb 2020Galaxy's 1.5f aperture was one of the top reasons to choos... moreWell yes, we will see how this beast will perform. By the way what is kinda sad, they are dropping all these fancy sensors such as the Spo2 and heart rate sensor. It may be little bit of a gimmick, but when you have experience you can implement it in a better way, you can make these to work in a better way. I remember some old Note device had even UV sensor. :D

                                Also, Huawei nice 6 Vs Samsung note 9, or S10, which would be tter, and in camera aspects as well.

                                  Please I need help, exynos 990 and Kirin 990, which is better

It's been positioned a bit higher on the phone so it's more natural to reach,a nd Samsung says the software has been improved, but in my short use it was just as slow and janky as before ... way behind the modern competition. This is going to be one of the notable cons on every S20 review.
