Samsung Galaxy S20+ long-term review

Been using the S20+ 5G since it released (4+ Years Ago) and my phone still works flawlessly, the battery wore down after 4 years so I paid £50-70~ for it to be replaced and the phone still works great.
If you think you need a more powerful phone than this you're probably over-estimating what a phone is used for.
- No Stuttering/Freezing in literally every single application, even games
- 12 GB of RAM
- 120 FPS Screen
- EXPANDABLE STORAGE (Are we just ignoring how much money this saves you? £40 for 512 GB SanDisk MicroSD Card, and this is the price of the higher end sandisk microsd card)
And Samsung's One UI is much nicer than most other Android Themes sold by cheap Chinese Brands.
I can't praise this phone enough. When this phone does eventually break and I need to replace it it has opened my eyes to the idea of just buying a much older phone since this is so powerful even this many years later.

I have been buying Galaxy phones ever since the Galaxy S3. I have owned the S3, the S4, the S5 the S6 the s8 and the S9 plus. Other then my Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 512GB. I own the Galaxy Note 10 plus 512GB, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra 512GB. Now a days you might as well strap a laptop to your wrist because of how powerful smartphone have become. My Note 10 plus has 12GB RAM, my Galaxy S20 plus has 12GB RAM, and my Galaxy S20 Ultra has 16GB RAM. That is more RAM memory then you really need. After all my first Dell desktop had 1.4GB RAM and 80GB ROM.

My Samsung s22plus suddenly showing a green line on screen just after 18 month of use. No fall no knock, no game ,normal use. Still in mint condition. A 60000 rs costly phone developed snag is very bad. Samsung charging 16000 for screen replacement. Why buy such expensive phone with hardware failure?

I used to have a Samsung and I can't recall the model but I loved it. However, I made a change to an LGTHINQ 2 years ago and honestly loved that phone also. But when I started to look for a new phone last year I did a bit of research on the then new 5g+ and it really appeared to be THE phone. My partner and I each got one and on day 1 we loved it. Now that we are 6 months in, he actually switched to an iPhone (blech) and I am sadly still using this disappointing Samsung 20 5g + nothing but hype phone. The camera on my LG blew this one away and this battery sucks. Sure, I can have a lot of apps on my phone but what good are they if I have a dead battery most of the time. But honestly the camera is a huge deal and this one is hype with so many disappointing shots. I carry my LG with me for pictures just in case I have an amazing photo opportunity that I don't want the Samsung to mess up. The 5G is also hype. I live in dtla and 5g is supposed to be so different but my LG had similar speed and connections and a longer lasting battery. They feel the same as well. I dont know what options I will have in a few months but Samsung has fallen in my eyes and if they don't have a great phone that TRULY delivers not just hype, then I am out. I'd like to be able to safely trust that Samsung will deliver based upon my old Samsung phone from 2018 but this 20plus model has not filled me with any confidence or happiness. Keep looking if you are thinking about this model and u really want a great camera. Specs be damned. My eyes don't lie.

I've been trying to find the yellow wallpaper background show in the review for my own Galaxy S20+.
It would be really cool if someone (including the writers) could guide me in the right direction or find the wallpaper.
