Samsung Galaxy S20 review

14 Mar 2020


Sort by:

Price is definitely wrong! I can get a brand new Huawei Mate 30 Pro with 2 years warranty for as little as US$620 right now in my country. Sure it loose to S20 in some things and I have to mess around with Google services but I won't be disappointed in the end for sure. Because the price for Mate 30 Pro is right for me!

    Mate 30 Pro is the best example. Non existent oil-painting look with great balance between sharpness & noise reduction. I believe P40 series will be superior with more advancement in camera software department.

      Flgshp2020, 16 Mar 2020Tests have been done on YouTube comparing gaming phones to ... moreYou are really getting silly and referring to useless Youtube videos.

      What's the point of comparing non-gaming vs. gaming phones?
      Each phone appeals to a different audience, non-gamers would easily pick the iPhone and vice-versa.

      Regarding throttling, Notebookcheck performed gaming test in their iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max review and did not find any issues with it.

      If you want to compare the iPhone, compare it with S20, Mate 30 Pro, OP 7T, Pixel 4, etc. even regular Android flagships can't touch gaming phones performance. Where's the common sense?

      Maybe you just like to bash iPhones when you've never tried it. Your presence in other posts also concerns me because you've tried to spread false or irrelevant statements and news.

          There you go, you have to turn down certain things in gfx settings, turn off Bluetooth so that network performance isn't affected, close apps in memory and
          Still it will overheat after couple of hours.

          ROG 2 has no such issues. Can use Bluetooth headphones since it has 4 WiFi antennas and performance is not compromised over wireless networks. Also chipset doesn't throttle after continuous gaming. And don't have to close background apps during gaming.

            I love the s20 is 👍beautiful...

              The camera of the S20 is much better than the Ultra's. Much better detail, whereas the Ultra is like a watercolor painting. Why is that?

                    It's just a marketing stunt, so beware. I never trust PhoneArena for their garbage reviews. Camera shots are just stylists randomly posing. DxOMark is much better in this respect.

                      Even iPhone XR runs very well in HDR Extreme (no antialiasing) without any lag or frame drops, although device can get somewhat warm. Played 1 match in Erangel and TDM respectively and did not encounter any issues.

                      You must have made assumptions. Rubbish.

                        uk7866, 16 Mar 2020It is most certainly not!Actually S10e display is still better than the iPhone XR.

                        Don't expect camera performance of the S10e to beat iPhone XR, though. Also SoC/GPU performance and battery life.

                          Bad battery life.... very bad. Exynos CPU

                          My S20`s results:
                          5h 16m SOT, 60Hz, FHD+, only wifi, AOD off, bluetooth on (Garmin watch paired),

                              You know what, the exynos / Snapdragon distribution / segmentation should be added to the con list. I mean it would have been fair if there's an option, but forcing a lesser device is not cool.

                                  Well, that's disappointing. I guess every line has their black sheep and hoping Samsung can go back to their former glory days with the S12. To be fair, 5G and Qualcomm really messed up this year's battery lives and prices and it will be difficult to find a decent flagship this year.

What I do know from being subbed to 97 pubgM youtube channels is that almost all the pro players say the same thing.
                                      The only Android that can compete with iPhone in terms of recording gameplay and having little framedrops is the op 7t which is not even a gaming phone. Android gaming phones are useless when you get into real professional gaming, until android fixes their shitty os .
