Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus: Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus and S20 Ultra: All the information

The Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus have undergone a redesign compared to their predecessors, but it is a change that we have already observed in other recent terminals of the company. Going into detail, the new Infinity-O screen is characterized by its perforation for the front camera, which is right in the center.

On the other hand, the rear cover has discarded the horizontal alignment of the cameras in favor of a vertical arrangement on a rectangular module that protrudes from the glass surface.

The screen of the Galaxy S20 is the smallest of the whole group, measuring 6.2 inches, while the Galaxy S20 Plus is 6.7 inches. Both displays are of the Dynamic AMOLED type and have a refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sample rate of 240Hz. Also, these displays are compatible with the HDR10 + standard and exhibit a QHD + resolution along with a density of 563 (S20) and 525 (S20 Plus) pixels.

Like last year’s flagships, these smartphones have an on-screen ultrasonic fingerprint reader and are IP68 certified, which means they are waterproof. However, we understand that the warranty does not cover liquid damage.

Both terminals are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or Samsung Exynos 990 chip depending on the market. In the case of Spain, the version with a Samsung Exynos 990 processor awaits us. The memory configurations are listed below:

Galaxy S20 Plus

In a different vein, the Galaxy S20 has a 4,000mAh battery with support for 25W wired fast charging, while the Galaxy S20 Plus has a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. Both phones support wired and wireless reverse charging.

Going into the matter, the Galaxy S20 Ultra also has an AMOLED Infinity-O screen with a hole in the center for the front camera, the difference is that it has a size of 6.9 inches . Likewise, it retains the same processor as its brothers, although unlike them, the minimum memory configuration is 12GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage. The top option comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of ROM .
