Putting an end to the incessant stream of leaks, rumors, and well, even official teasers, Samsung has finally taken the wraps off its flagship Galaxy S20 lineup. The company is launching 3 phones this time around as well but there’s a simple yet significant change. Samsung has taken a page from Apple’s book and simplified its lineup by launching the Galaxy S20 (successor to Galaxy S10e), Galaxy S20 Plus, and a higher-end Galaxy S20 Ultra (first time we are seeing an Ultra variant) at its Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event in San Francisco.
Let’s start off with the design, The Galaxy S20 looks like any other Samsung smartphone that made its debut over the past six-odd months. The Korean giant is pushing out exact same design, with a centered punch-hole camera and a rectangular camera bump, across most of its devices.
Powering the Galaxy S20 is the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset from Qualcomm, but you can expect the device to be backed by the company’s in-house Exynos 990 chipset as well in some global markets including India. This means it will support 5G connectivity but there’s a 4G-only variant of the S20 as well. It’s coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The device runs OneUI 2.0 based on Android 10 and you can check out some of its best features right here.
Galaxy S20 comes equipped with a 4,000mAh battery pack with 45W fast-charging, 15W wireless charging, and 9W reverse wireless charging support. You, however, will be getting a 25W fast charger in the box. There’s a USB Type-C port on board for charging, IP68 dust/water resistance, and no 3.5mm headphone jack.
This variant will be available in three colors namely Cosmic Black, Cosmic Grey, and the attractive – Cloud Blue.
Galaxy S20 series has been priced starting at $999.99 for the Galaxy S20, $1199.99 for Galaxy S20 Plus, and goes up to $1599.99 for the top-end Galaxy S20 Ultra model (16GB RAM and 512GB storage).
