There are some issues here.

1. Your speaker test is absolutely useless to me. I could care less how the response of the speaker is as far as audio quality goes. These transducers have been around well over a century so yet small they work fine. Please bring back the audio response from the dac (either over usbc or the audio jack). Every phone regardless of its type is subject to converting digital audio in some form or fashion if sent over a cable, period plain and simple. This has to be included. This coupled with the speaker test would be good. Just the speaker test alone is useless imo.

2. You guys really should bring back the sunlight readability test.

3. Why can't the phones with 120hz support also 90HZ along with 60hz? Or did I miss something?

    Something to do with CDMA like Verizon.

                My dear friend told me once that this phone is for the birds.

                  Although it will interesting to see if the UK gets a SD version now it's no longer a member of the EU.

                    Gsmarena, We want Find X2 pro vs S20 ultra camera review.

                      Same crappy exynos, same poor heat management

                        What's the point of reviewing the Exynos variant of all the S20s, you could at least get the Snapdragon variant of the S20+...

                          I still do not find these S20 range anything revolutionary in terms of image quality to anything else out there

                            I find that the S20+ is a very good compromise.

                            I wanted the S20U, but I found it too big and bulky, also the price was ridiculously high and after reading numerous reviews regarding the camera issues, I thought that I was going to have to look elsewhere.

                            The vanilla S20 was a bit too small, and it seemed to miss some of the features of the camera and slightly below what I wanted to see in battery life.

                            The S20+ is more or less the same size as my venerable S8+ and roughly the same weight too, I liked the slightly upgraded battery size and camera and it has already taken some very nice pictures. The battery life is a bit iffy, but it's no worse than the S8+ for me.

                            So whilst the latest firmware may have rectified some of the camera issues on the S20U, I'm still happy with the more balanced S20+ as it gives me the best of both worlds.

                              Galaxy S20 plus is a better choice in comparison to the Ultra in terms of form factor, handling, camera performace in few areas and its practical usage scenarios, price etc. Ultra will probably shine in the form of the next Note if Samsung makes some hardware changes to the camera.

                                Finally, about time. Hehe
