Samsung Galaxy S20+ review
Source: Samsung Galaxy S20+ review
introduction
A new trend we’re seeing with flagship phones is that they now come in threes. While in the past a Plus model was the best of the toss, now it’s either a Max or, in the case of the S20, an Ultra. We’ve already tested this one and now it’s time for the S20+, which is the mid-range option for a high-end Samsung in 2020.
As a mid-range option, it misses out on the Ultra’s unique camera system and shares the same setup with the vanilla S20 – okay, the Plus adds a ToF module. That small detail aside, the S20+ is essentially the same phone as the S20, just bigger.
Which isn’t a bad thing – if you’re a fan of big screens and find the S20 too small but the Ultra too expensive and camera-focused, the Plus is for you. At 6.7 inches diagonally, it’s closer to the ultimate flagship than what you might call a “compact” 6.2-inch S20.
With the larger display, an increase in battery capacity is another difference in the S20+’s spec sheets versus the S20 – not many of them, but those that are there are important.
Before we continue, here’s a quick refresher on the hardware and some of the key features of the S20+.

As so often, we are testing the Exynos version of the Galaxy S20+. It’s also in 4G-only spec – a 5G-capable variant is also available, but since we don’t have access to a 5G network anyway, it makes little difference to us and the results in this test.
Unpack the Samsung Galaxy S20+
The Galaxy S20+ comes in standard flagship-quality Samsung packaging. That means a rugged black box with no frills. There’s a bold S20 spilling out to the sides if that counts as an accent.
What counts in any case is the content. You get a USB PowerDelivery compatible 25W charger and a matching USB-C to C cable. A headset is also included and also has a USB-C port – there’s no 3.5mm jack on this Samsung.
We were pleasantly surprised when we unpacked the Galaxy S20 Ultra and found a protective silicone case. Well, that’s not the case with the S20+, as it wasn’t the case with the actual S20 – you’ll have to take care of your own protection.
